I think it was a bad idea to have him bat leadoff for the first time against someone like Fried.  

Have him bat leadoff in a series against the A's or some other pathetic team.  

I don't like Mateo batting leadoff. I know they say batting order doesn't matter, but I don't buy that psychologically. Mateo might feel the urge to press more batting leadoff trying to be a table setter for the heart of the batting order.

Shutdown inning!

Nice one two three inning.

He’s no Gary Thorne but I like him. 

I'd drive Kevin Brown to the airport in a second if Gary Thorne would come back.

Would be a save situation.

I always found it funny that some dude got a save in the 30-3 game

Agreed.  I'd just keep him where he was in the lineup.  He was raking.  No need to move him.

How nice that was! A 1 2 3 inning from Mike Baumann! I say bring him back out for the next inning too!

That may get him to ground level after where I had him.

I think both these guys are good, and improving, when they talk about baseball, and I mean MLB not SEC baseball.

Get some runs off Yirby Kates.

Oh, btw, Ryan McKenna is hitting over .300 with an OPS overnight .800.

I still can't get over that I went out that night when the Orioles were leading 3-0 before the implosion. It was before smart phones, so I didn't check the score until I got home later that night.

My first reaction was that has to be a misprint no way the Orioles lost that badly.

Who had "score 7 runs off the Braves ace" on their bingo card?

Atlanta has not been beaten this bad since General Sherman.

Wild stat.
