Mountcastle is out of the defensive lineup in the third. Franco moves to first and Jorge Mateo comes in to play third base. Mountcastle was tagged hard in the side of the helmet on an attempted steal in the first. So guessing this is precautionary. This is Mateo's O's debut.

That's one of the myriad reasons why it's stupid to steal.

Hope he's OK.

Damn it.

Yes - but didn't say why

 And Franco couldn't make the dig on a nice play by Martin

[Aristotelian]

Wow, tremendous play by Martin. Impressive glove and arm. 

[PHRESH]

Brilliant play by Richie. Too bad we didn't have a 1B over there.

No, not yet

Well, very first play at first by Franco and he can’t catch the ball.

[Aristotelian]

In retrospect maybe should've put Trey there and give up the DH. Is Mateo's bat really going to be the difference maker in this game?

Davis would have had that.

Good job boys.

For crying out loud they gave Martin an error on that. What a joke.

Disproves the idea that any infielder can do the job at first base.
