How many of these hits look and sound like they are gone runs?  This is crazy

Anyone else having a problem with the game being too loud? I can barely hear Palmer. 

Too bad that doesn't happen on the Melanie nights

Another Barrel for Adley there.   This is my first time discovering Barrel qualification has a sliding scale of increased angles as the EV's get higher.    From the Savant glossary:

To be Barreled, a batted ball requires an exit velocity of at least 98 mph. At that speed, balls struck with a launch angle between 26-30 degrees always garner Barreled classification. For every mph over 98, the range of launch angles expands.

For example: A ball traveling 99 mph always earns 'Barreled' status when struck between 25-31 degrees. Add one more mph -- to reach 100 -- and the range grows another three degrees, to 24-33.

Every additional mph over 100 increases the range another two to three degrees until an exit velocity of 116 mph is reached. At that threshold, the Barreled designation is assigned to any ball with a launch angle between eight and 50 degrees.

Bullpen is fire!

I REALLY hope the bullpen ERA will move down. I think it's at 3.14 and 6th in MLB?

Should be like a 10-9 game. lol

[OriolesMagic83]

Mateo is always taking HR swings

[WillyM]

I guess Martin's out, but got to like the way he hustled down the line.

To be honest, I haven't seen a whole lot of that kind of hustle out of White Sox guys who've hit ground balls tonight.

Ain’t the beer cold!

Spectacular pitching tonight, aided by balls that weren't carrying.

Suck it LaRussa.

Already got at least a series split in the first two game. Pretty good.

2-0 vs. the White Sox.  Maybe we can go 7-0 vs them and pay them back for last year.
