Houston goes for the sweep. Orioles ready to keep their streak.

The base running today has been brutal, sheesh. 

[slakattack]

Mateo steal? Yes

Gunnar steal? yes

Not Mateo or Gunnar? no

I tend to agree with him that pitchers' arms dont' fall off the instant they hit 100 pitches, but you're really going to let him stay in the 7th inning, in a 1 run game after O'Hearn bounced one off the top of the wall?

Talking more about what he did in CHI and CIN, he ruined arms, allegedly.

is anyone confident with Cano and MounTain today?

You are!  Positive Firestone today!

For the second time.  I hope Adley is watching these throws to see where his target needs to be.  

My apologies for harping on that but it really, really bugs me that his throws are off as often as they are.

3 caught stealing today. Whose idea is to run the slow guys?

How good was the play Frazier made earlier? I was driving and listening on the radio.

Fantastic.  That ball was smoked.  115 EV and it looked every bit of that on TV.

I was at the game last night and just turned on today’s game.  Who thought Melanie Newman and Dave Johnson was a good idea?

That was really bad.  Maybe they are trying to make us appreciate KB even more when he returns tomorrow.

[Roy Firestone]

six outs=3 run lead...can we do it?

[gtman55]

Why are we running all these slow guys today?

I know.  I think Wood and Prior's arms were going to fall off no matter what, but he may have accelerated it.

 

I think he's adapted a bit, but he probably leans toward leaving pitchers in.  I think he definitely left him in too long here.

These have to be the three worst stolen base attempts I’ve over seen in the same game.

It is a convenient narrative against Dusty.  I would say the biggest problem with Dusty as a manager is that he doesn't manage any differently in the post season vs regular season.

Baserunning has been terrible and the commentators haven't said a word. Almost like they are afraid to criticize anything. Wonder why?

Did anyone ask Hyde how McCann got the green light to steal third vs the Mets?
