Sun Sept 18, avoiding the sweep vs Toronto

So much for shut down inning. You'd think with Kirk out for this series you might get a little help but nope back up lighter hitting Jansen hits it out

The camera has been so slow all series.

I just wish games would use the behind the catcher view more often like in the late 60s / early 70s. It was the default view then. So much easier to see what happens in those situations. I'd even be happy to have a small cut-in window within that shot to show the over the pitcher's shoulder view just to judge strike zone.

There was a recent road game where a ball hit into the corner (I think it was Gunnar's Little League HR at Nats Park) was not tracked in time to see what had happened in the LF corner. I know the producer of the broadcast has to make those calls to switch views very fast, but it's impossible when the ball is hit so hard. Solution: just show the old 60s/70s angle and have that small window with strike zone view.

Hate to see an Oriole bang himself in the head in frustration. 

That's our job!

But seriously, Brian Roberts comes to mind.

Unreal.. 3 best hitters in the line up. ZIPPO plus a short inning to boot.

Lamarr Jackson just made a freaking epic TD!

Dude is awesome. He's gonna get himself a big paycheck next year.

Jansen's OPS+ coming in today was 127 and Kirk's is 132. They both have 14 homers now but Jansen has done it in about 250 less at-bats--he's had good power throughout his career.

Vavra does one of the few things he's good at offensively: draw a walk. Manoah over 90 pitches--let's knock him out now.

Great play by Mateo but it looked like a tie to me at first.

Just saw yesterday's highlights. That E charged to Urias: a decent first baseman catches that throw. It bounced once but was completely online and had easily beat Vlad, Jr.

Good effort by Kremer. A spot in next year's rotation is his to lose. Remarkable season.

[LA2]

So it looks like Tate here and in the 7th, Perez in the 8th, and the Mountain in the 9th. Even if the score isn't close, Bautista needs work: hasn't been in a game since Tuesday vs. the Nats.

[LA2]

One-pitch out by Tate. He'll be back next inning. Ok, time to score!!

[LA2]

I wonder what the W/L record of teams that have pulled off a triple play is.

In other news, Ravens game has tightened up. Only up by 7 with less than 7 minutes left.
