Every hitter who works the count is down 0-1.   Funny stuff.  We aren’t working the count.

If your actual strategy going into a game is to take strikes in an attempt to run up a pitcher's pitch count, I'm willing to bet you are going to lose that game.

Stowers, are you kidding me?

Or, he could strike out again.

What is Stowers looking for there?

[Can_of_corn]

I mean there is probably an advantage to doing it but up 4-0 in the 8th I'm not going with a pinch hitter to lead off the inning.

The normal Mountcastle......Henderson clustercrap.  Henderson cant throw and Mountcastle cant catch.  Together it makes a mountain of crap.

How do they charge that to Henderson.  Any decent 1B gets that.

Deserved or not it is almost always on the player making the throw.

I've got to the part of the game where I'm looking for stuff on youtube.  Figured I'd give Audiotree's channel a listen.

Just started this but it's pleasant.

Meanwhile Jordan Westburg just hit his 11th homerun of AAA. It’s beyond ridiculous he hasn’t had an opportunity yet

Please tell me Keller is done for the day.

His time is got to be coming soon.

This home plate ump has called at least 6-7 strikes on the O's that were clearly out of the zone. 

[O's84]

Can't hit a ball harder than that, tough luck.
