Saturday is Burnes Day vs the Royals

So glad to see them continuing to get hits and moving the runner over and all that, even with 7 runs.

I wonder if they let Burnes go for the shutout. Considering it's a long season I think the biggest priority is just keeping him healthy long term and primed for the playoffs, so I wouldn't imagine they'd let his pitch count go high enough to achieve the complete game shutout.

Nah most he’ll go is 8.

No, I'm sure they won't.

I’d like to get more runs before the game is over.

Need to fix that run diff after they dumped on us last night.

Who had Mountcastle leading the teams in walk on 4/20 in the pool?

O's have had a lot of opportunities to push across the 8th run... hope it doesn't bite them!

I've never given up on him, ever. But it wasn't me.

When I looked at his OPS vs Ragans this morning, I thought he would be on base often this game. In the lineup thread I posted that he was a must start.

Are you talking about for tomorrow? This one is in the bag.

Mounty with the Bondsian eye at the plate...or the ump sucks.

I’d have to check the rest of the game but it seems he doesn’t call high strikes, but does call low ones. Like he shifted the whole box down about 4-5”

He's calling actual strikes balls and actual balls strikes (low). He's a trainwreck.

As a hitter that feels good when you sneaky fast take a double for yourself. Some of my favorite memories playing organized baseball was when I did that. Sprinting straight out of the box like that guy

Sit down Witt

Doesn't look like Burnes will be able to get through 7 this evening.
