What the heck is an RBI guy?

It's the guy who leads the team in RBIs. They don't have too many prolific hitters. Him and Julio Rodriguez, that's about it.

Bradish has something in his eye?

Watching the broadcast video I was wondering why anyone seemed surprised bc it looks like a constant swirling wind down at field level, so probably some dust or debris from that.  
 

Edit: Well, it did at the time

He's got a 99 OPS+.

He's not a "prolific" hitter.

A guy with an OPS+ of 99 is and a batting average of .234 is a prolific hitter? We have those in spades, then.

Not thrilled with the offense in this series..in fact its been mostly quiet since the METS series...I hope we pick it up...

When the Sonic Buffalo Chicken Dip Bites in the commercial look delicioius... maybe it's time for a meal.

I've been recovering from a really, really bad cold and haven't really done the 3-meal-a-day thing for about a week.   Had a late breakfast around 11, think it's time for another meal, whether I call it lunch or dinner.   Good to have my appetite back.

Saw this shot live on Milb.   Maybe it will get him going.  457 is a bomb.

Did you get tested for Covid?

It's really making the rounds around here again.

He's the best they have. It's a team based on pitching and defense.

Damned give back runs piss me off to no end...

So you would be happier if he had had a clean 3rd, then given up a run this inning when it isn't a "give-back" run?

It would still be 1-1.  

I mean, I root for our pitcher to have a shutout inning every inning.   But we are facing MLB hitters, on a potential playoff team.   They are going to score once in a while.  If it happens to come the inning after we scored, it isn't any worse.

cmon offense do something...we haven't hit well all series...yes, they've got good pitching...but we haven't put many runs on the board...

He has more RBIs than Santander, who leads the O's.

A guy that hits behind a guy with solid OBP.

Mountcastle has been on base 5 times so far in this series and has not scored.  Apparently, the hitters behind him are not RBI guys.
