rally thread!

He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

is it a rally if we're tied?

Glove came nowhere near said ball.

Triple becomes run on the next play (?).
