That inning will come back to haunt the O's

Can anyone explain why Vavra is starting over McKenna?

So….why isn’t Cowser up yet?

Cowser is too promising to bring up right now.

[Can_of_corn]

Whoohoo Elias is on and isn't going to say anything.

Maybe this is Vavras tryout.  He is getting regular PT and ABs so Hyde can see if he has value in the second half or if we need to call up Cowser soon?

As a guy who wanted Vavra to make the team in the beginning… think I’m done with him.

Which Bradish will we get tonight?

He's had one bad start all season.   I really don't think he is deserving of a question like that.

It’s interesting they create pitch shapes (mid-season) to help combat the batters approach/tendencies to their pitchers.

Working late tonight.  Last shuttle bus to overflow parking was at 7pm so I caught it, to get my car and bring it back to near the building.

Driving back I heard Gunnar's triple on the radio.   Parked, came inside, and discovered that we somehow failed to score.

Wonderful.

So how did they commit an error, with a man on 3rd, and we didn't score???

I'll admit it's a more interesting interview than I expected.  I don't buy that he hasn't looked at the shift numbers vs 2 seamers.

Frazier popped up a bunt that landed right in front of the third baseman who bobbled it for an E5

[Can_of_corn]

Free double.
