Bring Austin home, RMC.

Pretty clear he's not walking.

He's already seen four balls this at bat.

Now I hope Baltimore can win this series. 

We have a winning record in rubber matches of 3 game series this year.  4-3.

If you consider all 9 guys hitting to be batting around, we've done it.

Some purists say the leadoff batter has to bat twice for it to be "batting around".  I am not one of them.

You HAVE to have one guy hit twice.

[Can_of_corn]

Maybe I spoke too soon as ball #6 goes by.

[slakattack]

Give Ryan a little sumptin to hit...

A Mountcastle walk?

[LA2]

Mountcastle wearing Selman down with a 12-pitch at-bat so that Trey can get a tired pitch in his wheelhouse.

I'm loving this.

[Can_of_corn]

OK guys, here it is, what some of you were waiting for.

I was wrong about Mountcastle not getting a walk there.

I admit it, I was wrong.

Apology accepted. Too bad Trey couldn't take advantage of the situation. Time to shut the Angels down and yell Ain't the beer cold!
