Santander’s throw back to the infield was to no one in particular. Witt had held up at third, but trotted home on the bad throw. Now a HR makes it all academic. Lyles isn’t fooling anybody tonight.

So typical... we do nothing against another no name left hander and Lyles burps up a 4 spot and we're losing to another crap team.

Lyles is really letting them drive it.

Orioles seem to be doing that a lot this season. You think they're going to go on a win streak because of all the comebacks, and they turn around and can't win two in a row. They have such a favorable schedule and they're doing this...typical.

Exactly was hoping with this softer schedule they'd eeek back towards .500 but not seeing it now.

He's not there to help his team win games. He's there to eat innings. Doing OK tonight. Not great, but OK.

You want a pitcher to help win games, you got to develop them, buy them (and they're expensive), or get real lucky.

Nailed it.

Odor a little non-chalant on that blooper by Witt

[Beysbol]

Just got my Austin Hays signed card in. It's really nice.

Everybody knows he's there to eat innings.  Of course that is given considering our young pitchers that we are trying to develop don't go deep in games very often.  In my post, I was simply making an observation about the game tonight, not the season.
