The commercials are terrible too.

That's because they last longer than our innings.

Stop laughing announcers. This crap ain't funny.

This is why you don’t give Tony a long term contract. This performance wont age well. 

Yep. You don't give it long term expensive contracts to slow, bad defender guys with only a power tool that are turning 30.

This is a good place to let Kimbrel figure it out, down 50-2.

What’s that, you say? I have an extra zero in my score? … nah, not really. I mean, same difference. We’re not coming back.

Is Emmanuel Rivera really on this team?

He's on it as much as Livan Soto was!  

Hyde is not exactly known for using his entire bench and keeping everyone fresh.

It does feel that way.

[LookitsPuck]

At this point why not just let Kimbrel bat

[slakattack]

I thought Hyder got off easy last night with no post game presser on national TV. He's gonna have to do some splainin' tonight.

Anyone think Holliday’s Norfolk Tides days are over? I don’t.

He’s clearly not ready for prime time.  Is there any way to give him 2-3 days off.

Rubenstein didn't get control until opening day if I'm remembering right. Did Elias have the budget for that kind of move?

No idea what Elias' budget was. I didn't say he went cheap because he wanted to. We still don't know that.

[Hallas]

Kimbrel's velo is back up... seems encouraging.

You, sir, deserve a long term contract, and your name is Tony. 
 

Don’t let the eventual irrelevance of Tony Santander cast its shadow on you! You’re here for the long haul. 

[Yossarian]

Orioles have the top of the order due up in the bottom of the eighth.  Will one of them reach base?

[slakattack]

Another dirty inning for man bunn.

[Billy F-Face3]

Wow. I thought Gunnar got him out. What a play. The ball beat him to 1st.
