Saturday June 18 vs Rays

[eddie83]

Infield in up 4 runs. 
 

not sure I have ever seen this before.

Hilarious.

Mullins on deck. 

[O's84]

Nevin has missed 2 fat pitches.

[O's84]

He laid off some close ones, but you can't miss 2 very hittable pitches in an AB.

[SteveA]

Seeing eye hit!

[justD]

Wow. Went away for a few and now they're only 1 run down and still have men on base? Nice!

[HarlowFan]

Chirinos with a slow grounder against the shift makes it to the RFer, plates 2. Now 6-5 Rays. Runners are on the corners and 2 outs.

[justD]

And how is this still just the 5th inning, when the first two went by in a heartbeat? 

[Beysbol]

Awesome job by Chirinos!!

Glad I didn't post that comment about PHing for Chirinos.

Not watching the game.  Did Chirinos really steal 2nd or did the Rays just ask him if he wanted 2nd.  I need to see that on replay.

Manager of the year-twice. Also, the same guy who took out his best starter in game 6 of WS after 73 pitches when the team was up 1-0 and lost. 

[ChosenOne21]

It's listed as a stolen base, not defensive indifference

The pitch came in a little high and tight (but was clearly in the zone, tho called a ball by the ump). Mateo dove back out of the way of the pitch. For this reason, or perhaps just because Mejia is known for not throwing guys out well, there was no throw.
