Erceg about to blow away Santander with high fastballs.

The guys on Foul Territory were saying he's the guy the O's should have gotten at the trade deadline.  Made all the difference for KC this year.

Great.

And that's why you don't resign Santander.  Unless he hits a homerun he doesn't pretty much nothing.  

I have been advocating for most of the season strongly considering resigning him. But I'm now leaning in this direction. All he does is swing for the fences in EVERY situation regardless of game and score.

Garcia again.. Burnes is done.

Wow I am shocked Burnes is back out. At this point why not use him up...

Might have been him just saying, I'm going back out there.

One pitch. One squibber. One more opportunity squandered.

Fans being pessimistic this season, in these threads, have every reason to have been that way, no matter how many pollyannas want to jump in and condescendingly say otherwise.

Pitched his ass off.

How god damn hard is it to a single run at home? 

Came up tiny when they had to win front of the crowd to clinch the postseason. They’re anti-clutch. The reinforcements aren’t helping.

Thank you Corbin Burnes

[Tbone83]

Insult to injury is that they are just not even competitive in any of these big moments. K's and weak grounders and pop ups.

[Sports Guy]

9th hitter has a walk, single, SB and run scored.

[Brian88]

No reason to pull Burnes

[Wavetrapper]

Nice game Corbin.   Good luck to you in the future. Find a team that can hit.  Don’t become a Yankee.  

[EddeeEddee]

Why take Burnes out?

They have lost the ability to manufacture runs.

When did they have that ability?
