Depending on Melanie Newman's description is frustrating.

Raley's double last inning was a "looper" so I felt like I fell in front of the outfield but then he got a standup double out of it.

And Cedric Mullins went "into the corner" to get it.  Really, our center fielder was in the corner???

Ok, so it's hard to do that in real time, I get it.  But that IS the job description.  And I'd you fail to get it right in real time, which is gonna happen, please back fill with an accurate telling of what happened.  Nope.  On to the next batter.

To be fair it was in the corner just our crazy left center field corner.

She's not very good doing play-by-play. Orioles got good PR by putting her in the booth.  Since she's a woman working in a male dominant field, you can't criticize. Same thing with the public address announcer they promoted when they fired Ryan Wagner.

I love having Rutschman behind the dish.  What a treat it is to watch him.  (Prompted by him chatting up Baker as they exited the field.)

I thought it had a name: Elrod's Corner.

That pitch to Hays was nasty. 

[O's84]

In other news, Urias can still hit.

[Yossarian]

We needed that hit in your last at bat, McKenna

[SteveA]

So many leadoff hitters have gotten on this game, hard to believe it's only 1-1.

[waroriole]

Arauz is really bad. I don’t care to see him anymore. 

[Yossarian]

Are they growing tomatoes in that wire cage behind the pitchers in the bullpen?

[SteveA]

OK, gotta cash here.   Good part of the order up.

[seak05]

Adley's at bats are so good...but I almost wish the ball had missed him
