Monday, May 8: Showdown at the Yard -- Rays come to town, O's try to win 11th straight series opener

That right there is why a catcher starts his glove on ground and is taught to catch it on the way up.

Hopefully when Tate and Givens come back Baker can move out of the higher leverage spots. I don’t like him as a 7th inning guy in tight spots. 

[Roy Firestone]

were gonna have a bad inning here

I agree totally with most of this, except I think we have done better than just “compete”. We have what the 3rd best record? 

Elias still has time to right his offseason wrongs at the deadline. We are in a great position to bridge the talent gap.

I wasn't using compete as a bad thing. We've played very well against the bad teams. We're one game below .500 against .500 plus teams. That's competing. 

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Not even competitive.

[Gurgi]

I think Baker is off from his spikes catching and his falling on the ground.  I doubt he gets out of this without letting everyone score.  I hope to be wrong.  But I fear doom is coming.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Slider on 3-1 when 7 out of the last 8 pitches have been balls. Smart. 

[Aristotelian]

This ump is super tight. Has been consistent though.

[Emory Eagle]

Sure, let’s load the bases with no outs for the top of the best lineup in baseball…

[Goober Noodles]

Not looking good, but that was a great pick by McCann.  And NICE MATEO!

[Gurgi]

Baker is likely slightly hurt but trying to man up.  

[Mooreisbetter27]

They haven’t shown a different angle. Betting he’s safe. 

[Roy Firestone]

simply CANT allow any more runs...even 2 seems insurmountable.

I think all the cameramen were fooled

[Goober Noodles]

Ohhh.... that angle from LF he looked safe, but it was crap quality.
