[Tedballgame]

Lead off mann on. PLEASE score some runs.

[iortiz]

I would like to be as relaxed as Cora looks like in the dugout.

[Tedballgame]

Crap, they are taking him out.

[FredLynn]

Lowther's luck is about to run out.

[Tedballgame]

I had better see Schwarber hitting soon if a RHP is coming in.

[d-money]

Blue Jays letting the Yankees back in the game.

[Tedballgame]

What a break! Have to take advantage of this.

[Tedballgame]

Finally a big hit! Yes J.D.!!!!!

[TylerD]

There we go!!!! Some runs

[FredLynn]

There we go....finally!

If you only graded 4 elements that contributed to the current situation of being under the gun to hold either WC slot , how would you grade :

Hitting

Starting Pitching

Relief Pitching

Defense

You forgot Joe West as a choice.

[vegasbob]

One of JDM's best attributes in 2018-19 was his consistent hitting and output. This year he seems more inconsistent. When he's great like tonight, he's very great, but when he wanders chasing pitches he's not so good

[Tedballgame]

Why can't Bobby D show some patience? What an idiot. Pitch wasn't even close to being a strike.

[Old Red]

Finally a big hit! Yes J.D.!!!!!

 

Hopefully he’s starting one of his hot streaks.

[vegasbob]

Just an observation, not a critique, but reality says Dalbec has regressed after he sat out a couple games when he was still hot. Fire whoever makes out the lineup.

[vegasbob]

Corrected, see above

[Tedballgame]

Another bad call by home plate umpire.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Here's an offer the O's can refuse. Bobby Dee and a top prospect for Mountcastle.

[vegasbob]

Now here is Nate's test. Get out of the 6th with no damage. His K's are good and pitch count low at 67. Finish the 6th on 80 pitches. If a guy hits 2 fouls after 2 strikes, plunk him and move on. Don't let a grinder frustrate you, Nate. need this one big time

[Tedballgame]

Cannot put the lead off guy on.

Make that prospect ARAUZ

[Tedballgame]

But he did. With a double no less.

To be accurate the two pitches he's hit tonight were hanging mistakes. But it's good that he can still hit mistakes.

[Tedballgame]

Nate needs to get ahead and stay ahead of the hitters.

[vegasbob]

One good finding this season, among many, is that Eovaldi has pitched over 180 innings with 194K's. No injuries and is the go to guy to break this funk. The W-L record is meaningless since the A-S break since Nate's games have been bullpenned to death in later innings

[Tedballgame]

Here we go!

[Tedballgame]

Orioles are one hit from having a big inning. This can't be happening.

EO has been a rock this season. W/O him, the season would have been over weeks ago.

Love that shift
