Even with the flyout, that helps a lot.  We needed someone to make this guy throw ten pitches in an at bat. 

Agreed. They have a guy in their bullpen looming now with his pitch count, so maybe that can help our hitters.

ANother crummy offensive performance...Mayo would give this team a spark...I believe that...

I am wholly on board with a Urias DFA and a Mayo promotion.

Boy,Melanie is pretty awful...I'm sorry...I root for her..but I think she's just not a good play by play announcer..Host? Yes, she's fine there...but not calling the game..

1 coughed up run may be all that is needed for a loss.

[Billy F-Face3]

I just had a mind bender seeing a batter with his back to the camera watching and Orioles game and seeing #8. I had to remember that's not an Orioles uniform 

[Billy F-Face3]

Look at Gunnar. Smooth operator

[dystopia]

How come we strike out every other at bat and our pitchers can't strike anyone out

From a brief Google search, seems like the answer is no: https://medium.com/@adamsalorio/understanding-the-relationship-between-managerial-ejections-and-winning-percentage-eaa46b28db3d

I understand (maybe incorrectly) that the idea behind managers getting tossed is that by showing his players he will fight for them, even act like a jerk for them, will promote some kind of good feeling or team spirit, not just for the balance of that game but more generally. Can't measure that, I don't think.

People shouldn't listen to the announcers since it frustrates you all.

Burnes has excellent command based on where Adley's target was.

I agree with that perhaps in a season-long managerial, soft-skills sense. But I don't think getting ejected in a single game increases your chances to win said game.

Got eem

If Williams is indeed done then that is absolutely hilarious.   Dominant and 77 pitches and he has "done his job" after throwing 5 innings.  Modern baseball.  Unbelievable.  Thank you Davey!!

Why would Burnes throw over three times?  Why not let the catcher have a chance?  At second any hit scores him.
