Yankees lead 5-0, we need to win to keep 1st place!!

[eddie83]

Damn.  

[SteveA]

Gunnar has 2 infield hits.

The only ball he smashed today was an out.

[eddie83]

Such a nice skill to have.

He doesn't let many balls get by him.   Rememver the nightmare days of Pedro Severino?

We also don’t have a lot of pitchers that throw the ball in the dirt.

[Tony-OH]

Wow, Gunnar is fast but damn that 3B has no arm.

I do.  Watching Severino play was as frustrating of an experience I have had as an Oriole fan.  He was just awful.

[eddie83]

That was 100mph? 

[mrbig1]

Gunnar again with the infield hit.

Listen to what Ben is talking about how important it is for the catcher and pitcher to be on the same sheet of music. Then he talked about how much McCann has caught Eflin already. Hint-hint (Adley is not a great game caller)

Is this something that can be improved on? Or is a “he is who he is”?

Adley is not really good at Anything involved in catching a game these days?

He's a very good blocker and his fistbumps per end of inning ratio is strong.

Tampa rotation will be so tough next season with Bradley, Springs, Baz, Rasmussen, McClanahan.  That being said their lineup is trainwreck. 

And Pepiot

Honestly, it should be a skill that a catcher can get better at so not sure why it does not seem like he's improved much if any since being in the majors.

[accinfo]

Does anyone know why the White Sox and Cubs have an off day on a Sunday?  I don’t remember that ever happening before.

[Say O!]

When was the last time Mounty hit a ball to left field with authority?
