I guess technically she's correct, but it's still awkward.  Back-to-back means in consecutive at bats, IMO.  Adley and Gunnar hit back-to-back homers at the top of the order.  IMO, you don't have "back-to-back" walks when you haven't been up in 3 innings.  

Yeah, sounds like something Jim Hunter would say too.

Santander has walked his last two times up

This booth is unbearable. Two nice people, but putting them on in the wake of the KB debacle a night after having Jason LaCanfora in the booth is borderline offensive to O's fans.

It is literally one of the reasons I won't watch it. I'll just wait for the condensed game highlights from Houston.

Looks like Webb might compensate for the drop in performance from Baker (compared to last year).

[ChosenOne21]

Webb doesn't seem to have a clue where the ball is going, but the stuff is nasty

[mrbig1]

Webb looks sharp.

I’m really loath to jump in on the Melanie bashing because I don’t think she’s been nearly as bad tonight as the thread as a whole seems to…

But yikes, her description of her “not-so-deep dive” into advanced analytics — particularly her takeaway from expected versus actual stats — was extraordinary.

Unless I badly misunderstood her, she genuinely thinks that the “expected” stats are what they projected the player to do (i.e., his pre-season *expectations*).

Great start for Webb.

[Tony-OH]

Damn, now that is quite the debut for Webb! He's better than the last Webb we had!

That's a good start.

Another Elias reclamation project. Surprised the Angels just let him go when they're still in the WC race

But hey he struck out the side!

Actually, what he would have said is "Santander with a two-walk hitting streak!"
