Wednesday, September 15: John Means vs the Evil Empire

[Moose Milligan]

Great interview with Tatyana.  

[O's84]

Means throws too many gophers.

[Moose Milligan]

Ooof. Palmer stumbling through the questions. Dropped the “disabled” word, a big no-no in this day and age.

Not that BA is the end all be all.  But of the 4 batters after Urias, 3 have a BA under .200, and the one that is above is BA .205.  

Oh and look, the umpire just robbed Means of a strike out.  This guy is bad at his job.

As you know, three of those are due to injuries to the starters (Mancini .261, Mateo .280, Severino .239) and the fourth has been chosen for his glove over the released Franco.

Who is she? I'm following Gameday with no TV or radio.

TBH Palmer has been in decline this season and last. I'm a bit concerned. Maybe he needed Thorne to stay in rhythm and Hunter to carp at?

I know, just want to beat the Yankees and it's a crap lineup.  Next year will be better but I'd like it if the Yanks missed the playoffs this year.

Sure, I think that's almost unanimous on this board!

[LA2]

The baseball season is long. Does anyone remember at-bats by Wilkerson (76 PAs) or Leyba (72)? I had almost forgotten that Chance Sisco (73) or Rio Ruiz (101) were once on the team.

[LA2]

Means gets out of a 2-on, 1-out jam against the Yankee MOO.

[joelala]

Would be cool if we still had Nestor Cortes. 

[Philip]

So who wins the GG in Center if not Mullins? 

[Philip]

Well two AL center fielders have much better OAA than Mullins, who is tied with Kiermeir for third on OAA with 9, but the MLB leader has 13, which is pretty wow.

Best catch by an Oriole I’ve seen this year.

 

Wow, I was at work when this happened, finally seeing it now.   Fantastic!

Happened to be looking down when the umps completed the replay review and gave their signal, not looking at the TV.

I heard the loud cheer and my immediate thought was wow, they ruled in our favor.

Then I realized it was Yankee fans cheering.
