  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

  He had a nice sliding catch going into the right field wall the other night.

  Sliding is not diving

  Yes and they have been mashed. Line drives that keep going.

  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

  BJ Upton ties the game with a hr leading off the 9th, Justin wins it two batters later with his 2nd of the game and 5th of the season.

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

  Only 5 games in and no one undefeated or winless.
