When I saw your Stubbs answer, I thought you were just doing your usual love fest for Stubbs..lol didn't realize it was the right answer

Lol, I would probably answer Dunn or Stubbs to any question, but actually thought it would be correct there for a change, haha

They left Maurer in too long. Should have been out after Reddick hit his double.

It might be because I'm tired and have had a lot of Nyquil and need to go to bed, but I have not laughed that hard at a video in a long time. That dude is a legend.

Stephen Pryor pitched to 6 batters. All 6 turned into outs. Pryor was given a blown save.

Bottom 7: Capps gives up single.
Luetge comes in to pitch and gives up a single. Gets taken out for Pryor.
1st and 2nd no outs, Pryor gets a weak ground ball to 3rd. 5-3. Runners advance to 3rd and 2nd.
Ground ball to short, 6-3. Runner scores. Tie game. Capps run, Pryors blown save.
Then F-7 to end inning.

Just a crazy way to blow a save lol, in the 7th.

I've always thought the middle reliever "blown save" was the most worthless use of a (at least somewhat) useful stat of all time. I mean, yeah, you don't want to give up inherited runners, but it's cheap to give a guy a blown save when he did nothing wrong other than not be able to clean up all of another guy's mess.

Speaking of worthless stats, I'm sure that Capps got a hold for his "performance", since they had the lead while he was in and he didn't personally lose it. Holds suck and are meaningless.

Capps most certainly did. Agreed 100%

I've not watched a lot of MLB so far and scroll through the scores every morning. I just gave a check of the statistical leaders and everything looked fairly normal except one.....

Chris Davis (Orioles DH) has 17 RBI? WTH lol. 16 RBI in his first 4 games but only 1 tonight. 3 straight 4+ RBI games coming into tonight

A damn good offseason signing two young talents with ample experience and then figuring they'll be happier as their brother is there.
