Off days for Urias, Mateo, and Hays.  Good god, the final five in the lineup is brutal.

Well, we're trying to make something happen on the basepaths, I guess.  Against the backup C.

Bethancourt has a hose.

[Yossarian]

This team makes it so difficult to root for them sometimes. 

[ArtVanDelay]

Lyles has some decent stuff.  I guess that’s why he’s stuck around for 12 years despite terrible stats.

Well, the starting offensive lineup is really doing its part to work toward world peace.

Because it's generating no WAR whatsoever. 

So there's that, I guess.

WAR  - what is it good for?

At some point Baltimore will field a legitimate Big League back club, right?

[Moose Milligan]

Man I think Chirinos just got drilled in the face.  Yikes.

I didn’t realize he was still around.  The Padres tried to convert him to a pitcher.  

[Yossarian]

I think the A's are just toying with the O's now.   They know we can't hit, so the pitchers are just plunking our guys to create some interest in this game.   At least give us a few baserunners.

[SteveA]

Where was Chirinos hit?
