Over in New York, there is joy, although they still want to fire Brian Cashman

I think they said that with a guy on second base it’s better to give up a single than a double so they move out, but I’m not sure. The idea is to sacrifice one run and avoid a big inning I think. They went into quite a bit of detail, but I don’t remember enough of it.

Sorry just lost a long response.  Could be depends on the situation-I added to my original post that as a CF I didn't like to have back up responsibility-I had to cheat in and that affected me on balls hit over my head.  The running game affects everyone.

Ball game. I hate to see it... but 2 runs is too tough a road for this pathetic offense.

Game over. 

[Wavetrapper]

Game.

Ah yes, the old 6th inning meltdown for Burnes. Such a clutch guy.

Well the very descriptive "skyball" is not good enough for you? I mean it could be a foul straight back, a pop up, a 400 ft home run. All you have to do is wait for the crowd to tell you if you are listening to her on radio.

This is exactly my experience.  I can tell by the crowd what happened before she describes it.  She is very good at pre and post game.  This just isn’t her thing.

Here we go again.

[gtman55]

We're done.

[OriolesMagic83]

This is pathetic.

[Tony-OH]

Any distraction totally takes Burnes off his game. He's so mentally fragile on the mound.

[e16bball]

That sideline reporter telling the same story about Caminero/Machado again, in exactly the same words as before, added on top of the Deluca HR made that one of the more rage-inducing moments of the year for me.

[Roy Firestone]

Burnes has probably been our WORST starter in the last month among our regular starters...even Povich came up big his last time out..its maddening..

Yet the Orioles and these other networks keep running her out there.
