Whatever happened to tie goes to the runner?

I actually don't think that's the rule right?

I don't understand why Mateo was bunting.   He's been hitting decently all year and is highly unlikely to hit into a DP.

May have did it on his own. Hope Hyde is asked about it.

Why cant we be playing all out to win?   The frustration is in seeing guys like Odor still getting all the playing time.   Everyone knows he isnt the future.  He will be gone in the offseason.  So why cant we speed it up and send him home now?  Why

Because we like the way he fights.  It gives us an edge.   We like the way he turns DP's.....

Man just get rid of him already.

Yeah, it's just a silly unwritten rule. I'm being a homer here since the call on the field was going to decide that replay review.

[Gurgi]

Ha ha ha.   What a crap game.

Unbelievable.

I'm still more pissed at this putrid offense

Definitely deserve to fall behind after that terrible bunt play. That’s karma.

[O's84]

You can only shut them down for only so long.  The offense needs to get their act in order.

Yep.  We will suffer for that dumb decision.

I really wish we got to see the extra angles that NY gets to see.

[CynBeth]

It is weird we have trouble against the sucky teams but do well against the good teams.  I guess we will be swept by Boston.

[O's84]

Watkins did his job well.

If the Orioles can't scratch out a few runs today they deserve to lose and it's about time to shake up the lineup.
