Melanie: (After every single play)

So how hard is out to slide? 

How hard is it to throw a fastball after you give up a home run on a fastball?

How hard is it play baseball Jim? 

It's like they dropped off a fan girl in the booth. 

Announce the damn game and set you partner up without sounding like you've never watched a baseball game before.

its funny how she says Urias about 25 different ways throughout a game... Arias, URias, oooRias, Rias, OOOHRias

I think we are going to see O'Hearn get about 2 - 3 starts a week vs RH pitchers, mostly at the expense of Mountcastle, but he might DH once in a while too.

Unless Mountcastle starts to hit right-handed pitching, he should get PAs.

Luis Severino's 2nd start this season off the IL for the Yankees:   Dodgers hang 6 on him in the 1st inning.

I'll admit, I like Yankees suffering.

We got a few people here.

I don't know if I'll make it tomorrow night.   I have a 6:30 AM flight Sunday so I have to get up around 4AM.   Not sure I can stay up watching a west coast game.   Unless I get a few hours nap in before the game.

I have a spare bedroom at my place. What time should I pick you up?

Mateo looks like he was sitting dead red on a fastball on 0-1.. Not going to happen...

Then he gets a swinging bunt... Baseball

[Winter]

what a blast by Mateo 

[dtk9119]

Whatever works Mateo!

[SteveA]

Mateo with the 20 foot RBI!

[mrbig1]

Great play boys.

[justD]

That swinging bunt from Mateo? Chef’s kiss.

I think that's a valid opinion here at the Hangout! lol

I thought both of those were gone. Gunnar's sounded like it to me, I think it fooled Palmer a little bit too with his 'wow' comment.

Melanie cannot read the ball off of the bat whatsoever. It's not easy for anyone, but she has no sense for it and leaves the audience guessing until it comes into view on TV.

One issue here is that TV broadcasts still only give us the one angle. And half of the time is spent zooming in on players/coaches/fans faces. Like I don't need a close-up of Brandon Hyde, let me see the positioning of the right fielder in real time.

It's the same in any sport. Football might be the worst when you literally can't see the receivers/secondary beyond 10 yards.

Webb has given up 22 earned runs in 11 starts... so we've already hit his average.

I have no idea why she needs to feel to do that. Wonder if she can pronounce Japanese names? 

[mrbig1]

Two ugly runs but I'll take it.
