8/30 - Indians @ Orioles

[O-The-Memories]

Matusz is a beast today! I've been more interested in this second half of a season than I have in many years. Seeing the development of guys like Reimold, Pie, Tillman, Matusz and Wieters (he's looked bad today, but he's been improving slowly) makes the losses seem like nothing if I see progression. Tillman going five with 1ER made up for the blown game by Ray for me yesterday.

Can someone explain to me, why that's a rule? You can't go to your mouth even if you don't have the ball while you're on the dirt?

Can't even put your hand up there while you're on the dirt.

On cold days, the umps give special permission to blow on their hand, otherwise that would be illegal too.

I'd love for the kid to throw a no-hitter. But at this point I think I'd like for him to get one more walk so I'm not pissed that it should've been a perfect game.

And watch how I jinxed him.

But it's okay cause I'm outta here! (gotta go grocery shopping)

Wonderful. Jinx it and leave. That's just great...

Good hit and run play.

[Mike B]

Isn't it customary to warn the pitcher? I see that much more often than the automatic ball.

I have seen it before but never when the pitcher did not have the ball. Either Balking Bob saw Matusz do it before or was looking for something to call.

[Scrat1]

Samuel. I just don't know what to say.

[MurphDogg]

What an insane decision to send Wigginton with one out. Did anybody think that was a good idea?

[O-The-Memories]

Samuel sucks. :angryfire:

[Satyr3206]

Samuel is the idiot that doesn't belong in the league.

[ADZ23]

Way to go Juan

[mrbig1]

Well that sucks but good try.

[El Gordo]

Hunter: "Jaun Samuel is being sent" closer to the truth than he knows?:rofl:

[Mike B]

Wow, speaking of things you never see anymore a runner trying to take out the catcher.

[MurphDogg]

Wigginton was nearly safe anyway, he stepped next to the plate before delivering the blow to the catcher.

[The Rick]

Where's Sam Perlozzo when you need him? Oh wait...

[RShack]

Well, you could see that coming... good for Ty to knock him over...

The C was backing up from the hit instead of trying to tag him. Wuss. Too bad Ty couldn't have stepped on the plate right before he knocked him over...
