Well I guess they had to start DJ Stewart eventually 

 

 

Double header, why not.

 

So the ball's going to hit him on the head a second time?

Stewart walks... 2 on. 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Ruiz with a tapper. Runners advanced. 2 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Velazquez swinging... to the 3rd.

Buzz kill.

As an O's fan, I've learned to always have some ground up, ready to roll for occasions just like this. Buzz may get killed from time to time, but not for long.

DJ Stewart up to 7 walks and 0 hits, Moneyball in it's purest form 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Nunez. Play needed to be made.  Good effort Eshelman.  1 on.

[Mike B]

Jim Palmer used to tell Weaver what fielders he wanted to see in the lineup.  I do not think he would have asked for Nunez.

[BSLChrisStoner]

A steal, and then a pop fly into the triangle.  1st and 3rd. 

[Mike B]

This has the look of one of those innings.  A misplayed pop up a kick by Nunez and a Stolen base and Eshelman is all kinds of trouble, not of his own doing.

Here we go. It's the Yankees, so I was waiting for the obligatory meltdown.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Bases loaded single into center. Gardner.  3-1. Still none out. 2 on.

[You Play to Win the Game]

And the .175 hitter brings in 2. Unreal.

[Mike B]

Oh well, lets move on to game 2.  Who the hell scheduled these guys.

God I hate the F'ing Yankees.

[Mike B]

God I hate the F'ing Yankees.

Yeah, me too.  I don't think we have won a game since 1979.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Another walk. Bases loaded again. Still none out.  

 

Hmm.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Let Eshelman take the bullet here, or use the pen and try and limit the damage? 

Kline up. Question answered.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Fly out to Stewart.  He throws in. Runner held. 

[You Play to Win the Game]

Nice positioning and throw by Stewart there to prevent a run. Little surprised they didn't try there.
