Actually, he didn't lose this game because it is tied.... j/s

If he was giving up after a 1 run deficit, then he might as well stop watching baseball.

Austin Hays is in a terrible slump and coming off an illness. Hays is a defensive upgrade, but that's all.

 

I mentioned that I had heard he was sick and wondered if he lost a lot of strength cause even balls he was hitting hard weren’t traveling at all. Hope he gets back to where he was.

Let’s go Milkman 

[Moose Milligan]

Wow!  

Okay, a Bermuda parallelogram?

You have to "right click and drag" to move to a different position, can't do that on either the phone or iPad, but hey, if you can see this with decent wifi while at the game, that would be pretty awesome. 

Gotta get better wifi at Camden Yards. 

Is this free or are you guys subscribers at all?  I can't find this feature yet.

Well you certainly don't want O'Hearn facing a LHP, and Hays is a righthanded batter AND plays the position.

You can't bury a guy just because he is in a slump.  You have to find situations to use him where he can work his way out of it.   And this was a situation for that.

Absolutely the right move.

It dropped! Moooooo!

[SilverRocket]

Looked like Mountcastle hesitated there and maybe could've scored otherwise.

[Roy Firestone]

I think I heard the first reference ever to the word "parallelogram" by a baseball broadcast...

This is just a wild, speculative guess that I'm pulling out of nowhere, but MAYBE it has to do with the fact that Ryan O'Hearn has a pathetic .541 career OPS vs lefty pitching, over 200 points lower than vs right.    And Minnesota brought in a lefty.   And now we have a superior defensive rightfielder the rest of the game too.

 

Corrected that..

With the depth this team has why not just let Austin Hays go on the IL for ten days and let him get his strength back.

Webster's defines "a while" as "four days"

Touche' 

[Spy Fox]

Mountcastle maybe could/should have scored there. He slowed up for a moment around 2b. 

[Spakman]

Good job of Mountcastle not knowing how many outs there were cost us the game maybe
