Suarez hitting 97. I like that. With movement too.

Done.

What else can we get for you? As if I don't have a pretty good idea.

I'd take an Orioles lead if that's too much to ask. I mean if you're granting wishes!

A sac fly with no outs and the bases loaded is probably at the top of the list.

Well considering he got ahead of the 1st batter than hit him.  Then fell behind the next batter 3-0 (though it should have been 2-0).  And you get out of it with no runs on only 14 pitches, that's a win.  Now if only the offense could show up.

The first batter made no attempt to get out of the way of that ball. He let himself get hit. They mentioned he's been hit 11 times this year. Elbow guards let you hang in there.

I always thought the batter has to make a attempt to move, but I've not seen that enforced lately.

They are supposed to but I've never seen it enforced either, even if a guy leans into one.

Yes, and also the problem is I don't remember the last time an umpire has ruled that a batter did not make an attempt to get out of the way.

Not a rush order, right?

I have, but it's rare.

Yeah, the 0-11 w/ RISP last night definitely hurt.

But, but we are the 2nd highest scoring team in the league!  Nothing to worry about or see here!

This is the second time you've responded to me like this and misread the tone of my post.

I mean, it's sort of true. No team is as good or as bad as they look during the highs and lows of a season.
