They are both good 

I find the plays have aged better.

Hollywood could do worse than to utilize some of that fine public domain material instead of making a crappy Robin Hood movie every five years.

I was against the Hicks signing but wonder if it's possible to keep him thru the Yankees series?  He has to be hyped to have a chance to prove the Yankees wrong.

He could take Vavra's spot. Vavra isn't doing much anyway.

That was a very awkward time call by Adley.  He was late doing it, and then he didn't really seem to need the time, so the pitcher walks behind the mound and grabs some resin instead, and Adley is left standing there ready to hit while the pitcher takes his time.  

Sometimes doing the automatic 2-strike call time thing is just silly.

Doing it just because it's two strike seems all the time silly.

Mateo had an E6 on the practice groundball thrown from Mountcastle between innings.  Good to see it didn't affect him.

I'm sure it was Mountcastle's fault.

Well that answers my question. I was pondering how many pitches we should let Tyler accumulate trying to get the shutout. Moot now.

[O's84]

You could tell he ran out of gas there.  Still a 5 run lead, so let's shut them down now and get the W.

Gets irritating that we seem incapable of closing out blowouts. Let’s keep them at 2 please.

Anybody think one of our bullpen pitchers like Baumann or Zimmerman might become a starter again once they get more major league experience? It seems like we take all of our minor league starters and convert them into relivers, leaving us thin in starting pitching prospects.

I like Baumann where he is. I don’t think Zimmerman is going to last in the bigs regardless. His stuff screams AAAA to me.

I find pitchers in baseball fascinating with how many different and unique wind ups there are. The Giants pitcher looks like he's moving towards 3rd base before he throws, then he whips his arm around to make a good pitch home. 

The other night, I watched our own AA pitcher Connor Gillaspie do a little dance and shimmy before every pitch. 

Baseball players can be very OCD with the routines they create sometimes lol.

Baumann has so much potential

Wow I just realized this thread is only 5 pages. They're usually 20+ pages.

Six outs away for a series win.
