I had slow cooker beef ribs with mushrooms and garlic with a baked potato on the side.

I don't see beef ribs in the grocery down here all that often so had to pull the trigger.

I had the good fortune of hitting up the first Buc-ee’s in Colorado this morning and scored both an egg & brisket breakfast burrito as well as a chopped brisket (wet chop) sandwich.

So damn good.

Brown said Baumann is warming up.

 

Why?

Was it a hit and run and the batter K'd?

[Mooreisbetter27]

Didn’t have great stuff but got through 6 at least.

Dang I thought that was a good pop by Adley. He just doesn't have the arm strength.

Burnes doesn't hold runners on particularly well.

Ugh, Baumann warming.

Same exact reaction I had. 

[Philip]

I need to head for the store after the game.

 

I have a Chopin List…

[dystopia]

Baumann getting put into this game is a big FU to Burnes

Doesn't help when the guy who struck out is standing right next to you and you wind up with your face in his back after the throw.

[Uli2001]

Burnes gutted it out.

Why is it that aces do not get good run support? And why is it that starters with 5+ ERAs coming in dominate the Orioles lineup (One of the best in MLB)?

[Morgan423]

Also guys, this is absolutely brilliant strategy here by Hyder re: warming up Baumann. 

Every guy in the dugout sees it and thinks "Baumann's coming in?  We've got to score a bunch of runs right now!"
