  1. Ervin Santana is on top of his game. Earlier this evening, Santana blanked the Baltimore Orioles in a complete game win. It's his second complete game shutout on the season. Santana allowed just two hits, two walks, no runs, and no baserunners after the fifth inning. Santana owns a 7-2 record with a 1.80 ERA in ten starts. In 70.0 innings, he has allowed a mere 31 hits. After tonight, Santana has now won all four of his road starts, allowing just one run in 29.0 innings in those starts. The bottom of the ninth inning in tonight's game was a thing of beauty. Leading off and trailing by two runs, Adam Jones took a fastball and then a slider out of the zone, working Santana to a favorable 2-0 hitter's count. Then, like a true poker player, Santana stared down Jones and threw a thigh-high fastball, which Jones took for a strike. That ran the count to 2-1 and back in Santana's favor. Jones grounded out the next pitch. Then Manny Machado came up, fell behind 0-1, and couldn't lay off pitches out of the zone after that, striking out on a slider in the dirt. Mark Trumbo then came to bat and grounded out on the first pitch to end the game. Great pitch-calling, great execution of those pitches, great approach to batters the third and fourth times through the order, no doubt also some great scouting reports and comparing of notes when necessary as the game went on. Santana was in complete control. Great pitching is truly an art. Now excuse me while I go fetch a handkerchief.
  2. I wondered where you went! Been there done that your secret is safe with me
  3. Couldn't have said it better my own d*mn self!
  4. I'm surprised there has only been one dropped pop up tonight. Lots of guys on both sides kind of hot-dogging these edit: Machado was the offender, btw
  5. Challenge Accepte---- *on second thought...
  6. From Al Bundy to Rocky Bleier, where does Baltimore find these guys? http://sportsnaut.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/0195.jpg
  7. That might change in the very near future
  8. My xFIP calculation says we're trailing 4.1 to 1.7, but I nitpick
  9. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/players/head_shot/429722.jpg
  10. Great. Another two-out extra base hit.
  11. Come on Bux Come on Mauer Lot of players on both teams kind of going through the motions tonight
  12. Gorgeous hit and run. Now we are cooking with gas.
  13. Before the 2-2 pitch right at the knees over the middle of the plate, or after?
  14. Vargas crushed that....unfortunately too high up in the air
  15. They might credit him with a steal as he overslid the bag and was tagged out then By why do I keep talking about the game?
  16. too sneaky. Cost Jones a strike. We'll take it.
