He should have been starting .. he could go five or six. The Orioles are screwedWow. Liriano looks great.
Ahh, Mora. Very nice.http://www.hardballtimes.com/tht-live/melvin-mora-career-highlights/

Oct. 16, 1999: NLCS Game Four: Mora doesn’t start but still plays a key role in the first Mets victory of the series. With the team trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the eight, Mora appears as a pinch hitter with a runner on first and two outs. After the runner steals, Mora draws a walk. A little later, Mora is the back end of a crucial double steal. It’s crucial because it allows a John Olerud single to drive in both runners. When Mora crosses the plate, the Mets have a 3-2 lead, and that’s the final score.
Oct. 17, 1999: NLCS Game Five: It’s one of the most famous games ever, ending on Robin Ventura’s walk-off grand slam single for a wild Mets 4-3 win in 15 innings. Mora plays the full game, going 1-for-6. Fun fact: Mora is the guy on deck when Ventura hits the walk-off blast.
If I'm Duke, I'm insisting Buck produce Britton's death certificate to keep his job.Britton has to be hurt right?
Tulo was gradually declining, but Jose Reyes was plummeting much faster. Blue Jay fans were happy to see the back of Reyes.Tulo had lost a little something in his last partial year with the Rockies before they traded him. Someone said that before that Tulo had either been great or hurt. Then, that year he was just . . . good. The Rockies knew just when to trade him.
What did Toronto see in him? He was awful in Pittsburgh. And making a lot of money. If he closes this out with a W, that trade is has to go down as a pretty significant one for 2016.Wow. Liriano looks great.
I don't think anyone questions the excitement, it's great theater. Patently unfair and antithetical to baseball though.Sooo, any holdouts still hating the new playoff system?
Yup. I picture Eck in this broadcast demanding to see if Britton's in the pen and, if not if he's in the trainer's room.The crew's lack of discussion on Britton is pretty strange.
He only threw 20 pitches - I was thinking he stretched him and he got hurt...not the case.Remember when Buck used Britton for five outswith a four run lead against the Yankees on Saturday? Hilarious he hasn't gone to him here.
"Britton" is the safewordThe crew's lack of discussion on Britton is pretty strange.
Shades of Grady Little wasting Alan Embree in game 7 of the 2003 ALCSWait, he burned a pitcher (even a shitty pitcher like Duensing) on EZEQUIEL CARRERA?? My god, Buck has gone full LaRussa.
They are worse than a Joe Buck/McCarver or Harold Reynolds crew.The crew's lack of discussion on Britton is pretty strange.
A hit is as good as a walk.Ah memories.

Even money he walks the 1st 2 batters.
The O's deserve to lose for that move.Yep, bringing in your 12th best pitcher is certainly a smart move.
