You'll know if they start doing the wave.

At 37 years old, Blackmon is the best hitter in MLB. He's an impossible out.

Good, you can’t start the wave.

Sure feels like that this series.

The best hitter, really?

[Yossarian]

They showed a raffle or drawing for an autographed Jorge Mateo bat before the game.  I was waiting for them to add the description "gently used", but they didn't. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Nice turn there. 

[Moose Milligan]

Beautiful double play

Being able to field your position well is a big bonus for a pitcher. Something Mussina always did exceptionally well

Yes, there was no hyperbole in that statement nor was it from a knee-jerk reaction that Captain Caveman gets on base nearly every time in this series.

One of my "friends" gave me an autographed Chris Davis bat. It's actually worth less than a regular bat without an autograph.

I don’t really remember the Ty Blach era in Baltimore. Sounds kinda familiar but it was obviously forgettable.
