Palmer:  "You really have to throw an errant pitch to get it by Austin Wynns".

Glad it was Hays in RF and not Santander.   Anthony has been slowed by that ankle lately.

Would be cool if we still had Nestor Cortes. 

Didn't know he was in the O's system. Yeah, it took him a few years to put it together, but he's only 26 still!

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.

Yes, very sad, but TBH it's not bc we stink, it was like that even during the best Showalter years. Not to mention "Fenway South."

[LA2]

It wd be nice if McKenna actually was a base-stealing threat.

[LA2]

Gutierrez seems to come up a lot in crucial situations.

Seems like it hasn't healed as smoothly as they expected.

ScOtt, are you lurking? Pitcher's battle!

Maybe he's too engaged in a CIV 5 game?

To paraphrase other statements by Palmer: "You really have to throw a perfect pitch for Pedro Severino to catch it, much less frame it."

Is he into that too?

I don't know if he's playing it at this moment, but I do know he plays it.

[LA2]

Sulser, Fry, Scott, Valdez--the dream that died! Only Sulser has continued to deliver.

Rule 5.  He pitched a couple games in April for us and we gave him back to the Yankeesless than two weeks into the season

Good inning Sulser.  Big 8th inning coming up.
