That's not going to encourage Mountcastle to walk more often.

Santan slamming his bat down. must be a popup.

 

Pitcher's Duel! My favorite!

Used to be mine, too, when our rotation used to make it a common occurrence and Weaver, a balanced lineup, strong pinchhitters, and defense would more often than not squeak out a W.

[scOtt]

Even as good as Means started the season out, the no-hitter and all... I still don't trust him.

 

And I kind of hate him for that.

I trusted him until they took his tack away.

Well....

Even if we lose 1-0, or 2-0 or whatever. It's a great ballgame to watch! Has you on the edge of your seat. EVERY pitch is crucial.

That's right: Wd have preferred a run-scoring hit from him, actually, on one of those five foul balls.

Yes, I'm in it for the Game, ultimately. Enjoyed 2019 and 2020, regardless of the lack of wins.

[scOtt]

Out of another jam unscathed.

[scOtt]

BTW. F the Skanks! LOSE 13 in a row now!

[scOtt]

That pitch called strike 2 was the BEST pitch he was gonna see! The third strike was an afterthought.

[O's84]

John Means probably wishes he pitched one of the last 2 games against the Angels.

[scOtt]

The leader in 5G my @$$! I have trouble getting 2 bars on MY OWN WI-FI, 5 FEET away! At arm's length.

John Means probably wishes he had been healthy at the trade deadline.

Means looking good tonight.  And this game is moving along quickly.
