 Regarding roster spots, how can Fry not be in a more dangerous position than anybody else? He’s been so bad it’s like he’s a different person

His roster spot is probably getting tenuous.  But he had a 3.24 ERA for the season and under 4 for the career 4 weeks ago today.  It's been an awful August, to be sure.  But you shouldnt be in a hurry to throw away someone who has been a fairly reliable bullpen piece for 4 years because of one awful month.

Bad luck combined with idiotic play = The Baltimore Orioles.

What happened?

Just got in and checked gameday.  Nice to see Mountcastle has had a good day.

[LA2]

How did the Rays score two on that hit?

Bloop single in front of Mullins, of course runner from third scored .  Cedric picks it up and jogs it in since he was already running it in anyway, soft tosses it to an infielder when he gets within 10 feet of the infield, not realizing KK who was runner on 2nd has rounded third and is racing home.  Mountcaatle tries to rush a throw home but Keirmaier is safe.  Franco (the batter) tries to take 2nd but Wynns throws back to second for the 3rd out

I doubt that it is tenuous at all. I admire your patience with answering every question that pops up here, including my own.

I hear Mullins is a pretty good player.

Mullins has left the building.

Jeesh. Mulllins must be getting tired and weary, a little careless out in the field. But then he hits a homer....

He's having a pretty decent year.

Hays can lift his BA to .250 with a hit here.

Really hard to come back against a lights-out reliever like Armstrong. 

[O's84]

TB had been lucky in the series.

Nope, fine on FIOS.  O's have a rally going and there's a pitching change.

Odd. Had to unplug box.

Lucky to be playing the O's.
