Brach back up in the pen

Almost a brilliant play by Parra.

We had a great 5 game series vs the Yankees in 1980. August. Won 3 of 5, mostly very tight games. I think attendance at Memorial Stadium topped 250,000 for the series or at least came very close.

That was a great pennant race. Yankees won 103, we won 100. No wild card, no playoffs. Probably the best team to miss the playoffs in the past half century or so.

I also remember on year in the late 70s, maybe 78 or 79, we played the Twins in Minnesota and then in Baltimore (or vice versa). 6 or 7 games in a row vs the same team. No idea why they scheduled it that way.

That was 4 years before I was born and I am jealous. I would have loved to been there, that must have been awesome!

And 6 or 7 games in a row against the Twins. I wonder what the record is?

Just looked it up and we did top 250,000 for the 5 games against the MFY.

runner moves to 2nd though

I think were playing with fire here. I know he's at 84 pitches but they've been making good contact.

Chen hasnt K's anyone in a while right?

Thought we just had that, almost.

Checked baseball reference to see how I did.

We won 3 of 5 from the Yankees in that series. Just two 1-run games. Attendance was over 253,900. Aug 14-19 1980.

We played 8 straight games vs the Twins in late Aug / early Sept 1979. A doubleheader in Min on a Monday and another on a Wednesday (maybe a Tuesday rainout???). Won 3 of 4. Then played Thu-Sun in Balt, split 4 games.

If he got a piece, it was a tiny piece.

Chen avg. 6 2/3 innings this season sounds too much. Is Gary right about that?

[MdSooner]

Chen is pitching wonderful tonight. And we have given him run support as well.

[schittenden]

One more out.
