Well neither do half the guys in our pen right now.

Tate usually does ok when the Orioles have a big lead though. Could have used him tonight.

Can't believe we need more runs.

[Roy Firestone]

Big DP...but I have no confidence they can avoid a tense ninth...even with a 5 run lead...

[Alasdaire]

Bullpen needs reinforcements. Baker, Cano, and Bautista are the only ones I have confidence in.

Ben doesnt know anything but Alligators, LSU and the Orioles.  Other than that he knows nothing. 

He knows baseball! I’m happy to have someone who knows the game and doesn’t pretend to be a cultural host, if you will.

Hate to use Baker in the 9th. 

[oriolediehard]

Is it worth losing to not use Cano and Felix??  

[FlaO'sFan]

I knew 2 people who were there that I went to Bel Air Middle with, Neil W. and Karen P.(believe she was on the field Hockey team), and 1 from my H.S. after moving to Ft. Myers, Fl., Scott A. tall guy went on to become a doctor. Any of those names ring a bell?

Edited to add for Steve.

A cultural hoist.  I love that.

Brown knows his fancy advanced stats, especially as it pertains to showing everyone how unlucky Mountcastle has been.

Worth risking an eight-run lead? Yes.

Mostly because Ben doesn’t respond to the cultural references, so it’s kinda like he’s having a “smh” moment.

The fact that they are so different makes it work.

Braves have 8-9-1 coming up in the ninth. I guess we'll see Pillar.

Nope, not off the top of my head.
