Wednesday, May 29: rubber match vs Red Sox

[Say O!]

I like Burnes going more fastball/cutter heavy tonight (57% so far compared to 45% season average).  It seemed RedSox had difficulty with Graysons heater last night, so maybe that was pitch strategy coming into tonight.

Mateo on a slow infield dirt because of rain...will he still steal ?

[Yossarian]

Wet track will cut down on SBs

Walking Mateo is like giving the Orioles a free triple.

[Roy Firestone]

if they stop because of the rain...we lose Burnes...

If he knows when a breaking ball or offspeed pitch is coming, that would be the time to go, and he should have a sense of the sequence by now.

[Billy F-Face3]

Mateo is just trying to time them up.

[Malike]

MASN should take the 0 out from in front of the numbers on the pitch. Last night it said 0100 on a pitch, it looks weird seeing 080.

[Roy Firestone]

Now Mateo should steal third...

You'd scream at him for getting thrown out if he does.

McCann swings through a cookie 

[Malike]

Ah, I see. Empty O for ball, filled O for strike.

[FlaO'sFan]

I think he got in, hope they have an angle to clearly show it.

[Tony-OH]

He may have come off the base.

safe if not off the bag
