Now that Tilly is down (and Arsenal is on international break--hey-o gunners!) Zach Britton is the closest it gets to must watch TV, for me.

I think it's worth cautioning, though, that Toronto's lineup is pretty weak right now. They have the worst (or second worst, I can't remember for certain) OBP in the bigs since the all-star break. ZB is really good, but he won't cut through every lineup like swiss-cheese as he did today.

Britton's slider keeps Orioles out of first place. What an embarrassing and awful inning. Ugh. Looked so promising matchup wise against Garcia.

In baseball, sometimes it's good to expect the opposite.

Keeping expectations in check is understandable, but that 4th inning was particularly awful. Walking in 2? Can't find strike zone? I just want to know what happened.

It did come right after he got hit.

[JayThomas]

Did he throw a single first-pitch strike?

Pitch Arod hit off the wall was a strike.

[Uli2001]

Pressure game, rookie pitching against veteran team, manager with the slow hook. Next.
