Cowser has dropped like 100 points in a month

Did you expect his numbers to stay that high?  Of course they were going to drop everntually.

Damn, what a relay throw. 

Shame Cowser is on our team, he would have thrown it into the 1B dugout.

Ugh.  Thrown out by a tenth of a second. 

[dystopia]

Bang bang play. I think he was safe, but was very close and probably wouldn't have been overturned. Umps just don't like us this series. Agree with the send.

[LGOrioles]

Ball bounced directly into Winker’s glove off the wall. One foot either direction and he’s safe. Unlucky but good to see Cowser driving it the other way.

At least Moo Man smoked it oppo. Keep hitting it hard and we'll be okay. 

[Hallas]

Whats the rule on blocking the plate?  That seemed awfully close to a violation.

[Roy Firestone]

Bradish struggling with command tonight..and pitch count is rising

As far as I know, you can block the plate if you have the ball in the glove. But who knows. It's never been enforced consistently.

Bradish is wild. Settle in bud.

And.. Bradish in trouble again.

Before the ball got to him, he set up with 1 knee on the plate and his body covering about 4/5 of the plate.  I saw some examples where 1 foot on the plate like that where it was supposed to be considered a plate blocking violation.  But it was close, because you could argue that the tiny corner constituted a (tiny) path to the plate.

too many squared up balls...too early...not good...

[Dunk35]

Natinals station to station. They have some bad hitters in this lineup though.

too many pitches...
