This is getting ridiculous

You gotta be effing kidding me…

Even if it hit just the bat, the shock of that on the hand or finger would not be comfortable.

Very cryptic. Gameday is super slow. What's happening?

Looked like it hit his pinky to me

[Hank Scorpio]

They’re going to call it a foul ball. There’s no way they can see that. Honestly it’s probably a whatever for me as long as Mancini didn’t break a pinky.

Mancini got hit on the pinky / butt of the bat. They called it a foul ball.

We could see an Oriole pitcher bat.

Then again, there is the old National League option of pinch-hitting for a pitcher.

I'd like to see an Oriole pitcher bat, if only because if it happens, it almost surely would be after the Orioles have taken a lead.

Well with a 4 man bench with two already used, there's only so much of that you can do.  If the game goes extras, a pitcher pro ably winds up hitting.

Got it. Thanks.

Don’t swing at a ball please

[Hank Scorpio]

Pretty putrid 48 hours for these bats.

Man India has been a pest this series. 

Different situation for Bautista let's see how he does

Urias has made an excellent play at 2 different positions today.

Very nice. Urias moves to 3rd and makes a great play to get out of the 7th
