First, this having to listen and not watch the game after paying for MLB.tv is ridiculous.  Second,  was that a good send?  Radio didn't make it very clear if Hays should have gone or not. 

The ball was shallow and I thought he was going to be thrown out with any kind of a decent throw, but with 2 out on the catch I think a runner on third is sent there much of the time.

Yeah, that's where I am.   With 1 out after the catch it's an awful send.   With two outs...borderline.   Even IFyou have a guy with a .400 OBP on deck, there's a 60% chance the next batter will get out.

So if you think a guy has a > 40% chance to make it, you probably should send him (I realize that's not entirely true because of the possibility of not sending him maybe leading to more than just that one run).   But bottom line, you probably send a guy at 50/50 there.

So Gunnar has stomach flu per Hyde on Peacock interview. Hopefully he's good by Tuesday

Mateo has to be replaced. 

[OriolesMagic83]

Rally killer at bat.  Why throw Mateo a strike, he throws at that pitch in the dirt every time.

[Royle]

At this moment, Austin Hays leads the AL in batting average at .318

[dtk9119]

This offense is just pitiful right now

How many times has Mateo come up with runners on in this series and killed rallies? Seen enough of him.

We can't risk bringing up a prospect and having them struggle.

Nice Dong!

Finally.. AS gets the Orioles on the board 

[dtk9119]

We finally get a break.  Ball hit by Urias off the 3B glove into left. We have a lead!!

[Aristotelian]

A timely hit!!!
