Who is Peterson?  And what do you mean by reference splits?  

Peterson is the Mets starter. He does better against righties than lefties which is the reverse of what you would expect.

I love having a lineup of guys that are patient at the plate. It’s a luxury. And a joy to watch.

Oh gotcha.  Well that didn't stop Hyde from putting McCann and McKenna in the lineup.  Fingers crossed.

[Hallas]

I thought there was no dropped 3rd strike rule if first base was occupied.

[Uli2001]

Offense has been unclutch lately, that's for sure.

[Moose Milligan]

Hate leaving the bases loaded but we got the pitch count up. Hopefully we can get deep into their bullpen tonight and leave it depleted for the weekend. 

[TopGunnar]

Anybody here know Roland aka old man money. He’s a regular getting homerun balls during Bp in the bleachers 

[Roy Firestone]

wasted rally...I ALWAYS worry when we play struggling teams...we tend to play down to them..

[Natty]

Left the bases loaded again.

Based on the unusual lineup tonight, I would guess the data analysis was undecided about which way to go, so it looks like they split the difference. O’Hearn is in the lineup but Frazier is not. Also, McKenna and no Cowser.

Didn't Brad Brach pitch for Buck Showalter? I'd like to hear some of Brad's memories, stories, and experiences playing for Buck as an Oriole.

Urias is an awesome defensive 3B. If he had gotten enough playing time this year, he might have won another gold glove.

Yeah good point.  If he is a reverse splits kind of starter you'd expect Frazier in there over Westburg, especially as hot as Frazier has been.  Guessing there are some other analytics in the decision making too.

Listening on the radio and have no idea what’s happening because they have a guest on who thinks he’s a comedian.

Yeah and they shouldn't have wasted his time playing him at 1st base, or he might have 2 fewer errors on his 2023 resume.
