vs. TAMPA BAY RAYS 7/26

[LA2]

Of the 4 guys with the lowest OBP's in either team's lineup, 3 of them drew walks in their first at bat. Maybe it's Bizzarro day.

Reynolds doesn't have have a low OBP--I think it's in the top three among the regulars.

Gary Thorne is going to will us to a win today.

I think Courtney-Thorne Smith might.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Anyone else pretty well convinced that Thorne just said "[Reynolds] will do [his] fart for the team"? Accidentally, of course, but still.

Drew Magary was just tweeting this morning about how every song is better if you relace 'heart' with 'fart'. Maybe Thorne was just playing along.

[Tony-OH]

Let's just call that inning the official Special Olympics inning. Reynolds with the gold.

Not cool....

Good at-bat there, Quintanilla.

Tillman getting nice rests in between innings.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Reynolds doesn't have have a low OBP--I think it's in the top three among the regulars.

I meant Jennings, Upton, and Hardy. Reynolds and Roberts (.800 OBP) are the outliers.

[Tony-OH]

I wonder if this team will commit more errors this game than hits?

[LA2]

I meant Jennings, Upton, and Hardy. Reynolds and Roberts (.800 OBP) are the outliers.

Oh, OK--I thought you were refering to Reynolds b/c he had just walked.

Was the Q hit just another infield scratch hit or did he actually hit a line drive? (Turned on mlb TV too late.)

[Going Underground]

The O's offense is not great but at least they hit well with RISP.

[OFFNY]

.

PITCHES THOUGH 2 INNINGS:

Tillman: 35 (17 Strikes, 18 Balls)

Shields: 40 (20 Strikes, 20 Balls)

[Going Underground]

What inning do the O's get their one run today?

[OFFNY]

You love to point this out, but I'm not sure it matters all that much.

I think it does, particularly when he is throwing a lot of pitches, which he is so far.

[vab]

Time to officially change the nickname of this organization to the _ri_les. No O.

[Going Underground]

Was Jennings ball deep? Manfra made it sound like it was going far at first?

[OFFNY]

.

11-pitch inning.

Tillman's ERA is under 1.00 now.

Chilly.
