A guy who was on the street makes his first appearance and the O's state-run media talks him up like he's a shutdown reliever.

And strikes out the side

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

FWIW if you have MLBTV, you can do the MASN video feed with the 98 Rock radio feed synced up. I'm personally hate listening to the MASN booth right now just to feel something.

These pitchers they keep finding just amazes me.  He may get rocked the next inning but he looked good there.  Hey John Angelos you want to mend some fences announce you have signed Sig and Elias to a 10 year contract.

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.

Yep--she had no idea of what she was talking about.

Yeah, sounds like something Jim Hunter would say too.

Do we have anyone with a modest two game hitting streak?

That half inning might have been the most inane babble by Melanie that I’ve heard yet. 

[Roy Firestone]

thats was impressive for Webb...id give him the 7th too...

[Moose Milligan]

WE COULD HAVE TRADED FOR A NO HITTER

You mean because her takeaway is pretty much the exact opposite of what it means?

That settles it then.

The only thing more annoying than Melanie calling the game is the 1300 posts here complaining about her calling the game.

I think they will leave when they get the chance...

i spared you all of my complaining about her by switching feed, however this astros guy announces the games like their high school golf outtings.
