I felt very old when I saw Phil Nevin's son was the Oriole's 3rd baseman. Holy shit.

1992 doesn't seem like 30 years ago.

That was pretty awesome. Sandoval's timely wild pitch made it all possible.

It did … and Santander wasted no time driving in Mountcastle and making Sandoval pay.  They O’s have taken advantage of every opening the last week or so which speaks to 5 one run, 3 walkoff, wins in the streak.  Fun to watch because it’s someone different each game.

Reminds me a bit of that season where they seemed to win every single extra inning game, including one via a Taylor Teagarden homer.

But I am getting ahead of myself. Things always seem magic during a winning streak. On to the next game.

One at a time … it’s a fragile ride considering the age and experience of the guys making many of the contributions.  But, there is finally some light in the tunnel ..

Tyler carried the O’s lineup card to exchange with Phil and the umpires before the game.  Definitely cool.

[Fletch 5799]

Oh you’d fuck him 

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Bos ties it with 2 outs in bot 8. 

[Fletch 5799]

This feels like a playoff game 

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Some badass defensive plays lately, going extras. 

[Fletch 5799]

Judge and Rizzo back to back doubles. 5-3. Yankees-Red Sox always delivers 

anyone check on helobious? Think his heart may have finally given out 

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Interesting decision by Rizzo there. 

[Helobious 9481]

Judge is just stupid clutch. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Slow-ass feet, Gleyber. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Whoa, drive home safely. That one's on the Yankee D after playing well earlier. 

[Guadaloopy 10925]

Verdugo is just stupid clutch.  

[ztejas 43266]

Tough L for the Yanks. 

[Helobious 9481]

That was gay

[Blotto 23434]

entertaining game. not a fan of either team, but I enjoy watching them go at it. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Now we have Cubs/Dodgers on MLBN, scoreless in bot 4.

Boston has become so unlikable that it makes cheering against NY less fun.

WTF is wrong with you, are you in junior high?

I never said it was a bad thing.

I used to love the Red Sox.   Then they went and won four World Series in less than 15 years.

Fuck Boston. A lot of people I’ve met from there are hanging on to that “Whitey Bulger street kid” type and they’re astonishing pussies. Kind of like tech fans. They can dish it out but they can’t fucking take it.

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

6-8 weeks likely for Wander Franco with the good ol' hamate.

LOLz.  Some of the Texas fans on here are the most over-sensitive pussies ever in the world.

But you do you.

We are in agreement on the Whitey Bulger street kid phenomenon.  The rest of the world sees them as douchebags, while they think they are the tough guy from Southie.  Going to Boston or Yankee Stadium has turned into going to aggy.  They think it's intimidating when in reality, it's all you can do to stop from laughing.

They did go from 2nd to 1st in the Wild Card standings though.

I am sure that broke the hearts of all five of the Tampa Bay Rays' fans.

Lol the Angels suck so bad

Max Stassi batting cleanup is pretty interesting, but maybe not as bad as this 5-9:

[Valmy77 13094]

Baltimore is 43-44! On to Chicago to sweep the Cubs!

[Sbbruin 21737]

Yikes Urias getting shellacked in the first.

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Padres getting rolled too, about to be 3-7 in last 10. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

 

 

[Sbbruin 21737]

Down 5-0, then 8-3, now 9-8 Dodgers only bottom 3.  Poor Cubs.

[Beau Vine 54003]

Vladdy just had a thrown ball on what should have been an inning-ending DP literally go through the webbing of his glove.  Can't find video on twitter yet...

Edit: Here we go --

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

^ And from 4-1 Tor to 4-4 an inning later. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Bichette just murdered one solo in top 7 though. 

[Scraps 13542]

Thats 2nd time this season that has happened to Vladdy

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Full All-Star rosters

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Holy fuck, Tor’s rookie C fucks up a popup, Carlos Santana monster yack in bot 8 to steal the lead. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Can’t kill him.
