vs. RAYS, 9/20

[LA2]

We have to win this game. I'm beginning to get depressed. It's been an awful day and I was depending on an O's W to make it OK....

[Can_of_corn]

Rare fat straight fastball. Didn't like you equating him with the gal reporter (Zach Brittany).

I was being serious. Britt was making a deal out of something that shouldn't have been a deal.

Made me wonder.

[allquixotic]

Zach, like many of our players, seems to come up small in high-pressure situations.

[LA2]

Has he thrown a good sinker yet?

[Stotle]

That was a swing.

How is this high pressure?

The Trop? Both teams under .500?

Season winding down?

[Chavez Ravine]

That was a swing.

Dinner plans.

[Il BuonO]

Are you fine with him being the replacement for O'Day next season?

Definitely. Maybe even Britton so we can justify his salary in another area of need assuming Chen is gone. Or, if we can't get a decent return for him. In any case, yes, Givens is my guy. It won't happen though.

[LA2]

Zach is looking rattled.

Just get the GIDP and win it in extra innings!

Don't need four outs.

[LA2]

Just one more out Zach!

Alex Gordon Lite up.

[Chavez Ravine]

There's that nubber.

[allquixotic]

Zach, like many of our players, seems to come up small in high-pressure situations.

Yep. This was the loss that broke the camel's back. Now even if we win every game for the remainder of the season, it would take an absolute miracle in terms of the wins and losses of the other teams for us to make the postseason.

The writing was on the wall, but I was holding out hope. This is it, fellas.

[Stotle]

How many dribblers....

At what point are they going to play in with a fast batter 2032?
