Whut?

Yeah, Hyde's done an awful job this year winning 101. And we would be winning this game if not for Baker, clearly. It really, really hurt losing both Bautista and Means.

I guess they had the under.

So Webb gave up a homer to the first guy he saw yesterday, and then decided to keep up that fine tradition. Outstanding.

I'll chalk that up to Baker being nervous, maybe, but come ON, man. Four pitchers for seven outs (so far). If we get out of this inning 'only' down four, I would feel that's lucky. And here is another guy with control issues.

Third pitcher after six outs. Looks like a long day for the long-suffering Baltimore faithful.

Yeah, there's only Flaherty. Hall and Wells threw yesterday, Irvin's not on the roster... not a lot of options.

You know Mateo wants to steal 3rd with one out, but I hope he doesn't.

Yeah, let's not bury the ill just yet.

Nice job, Danny.

Brutal. It's not out of reach if Coulombe can get out of the inning, but... brutal.

Is there any pen action? I haven't seen them say anything. (I hate watching these games with 'other' announcers)

Means is hurt.

Irvin's not on the roster, right? So if Grayson really can't go far today, is there any choice but Flaherty to eat some innings? (And it pains me to say that)

Now is the real test for G-Rod. Stay inside yourself and start setting them down.

That was a beautiful slide by Gunnar, I thought he was going to be out based on the throw and where he was.

Bat to ball! Way to come through, Hicks.

Good to see them work Montgomery into 20+ pitches already. I hope they can keep this patience up.

I have to admit I was ready to move on from Mounty earlier in the year. I'm really glad he came back strong and has been productive the last couple months.

I'll take it. So at this pace, Grayson goes... 3+?

Alright, it's already late where I am but I'm here but since I'm watching the game alone, I'm here to either commiserate or celebrate with my fellow O#s fans. Let's go.

I think if Hicks knew Gunnar was running, he definitely would have swung. But since even Hyde didn’t know, Gunnar was on his own (and didn’t get a good jump, and it was a solid throw). Agreed, at least Hicks got on base, and also forced a pitching change. It was a close game where we didn’t have the timely hits. I don’t have any hostility about this one, I just hope we take the next 3 of 4!

I like that two of the Rangers three wins this year came against Grayson 1.0 of the first half, rather than the Grayson 2.0 we’ve all enjoyed in the second half.

Personally I’d rather see Means start a game at Camden than on the road.

Texas has more guys hitting from the left side overall, a 50/50 split this year hitting as righties or lefties. Tampa Bay had only 38% of their ABs as lefties. But I think we can beat either team.
