Going for the Sweep (vs. D-RAYS, 8/02)

Splashdown!

Ouch man.

[orioles22]

He was past the plate by the time he was tagged.

[jerios55]

need an above camera shot to see both hand and tag, but it looked pretty clear the hand crossed first.

 I should say the baseballs are same as last year. Never left.

Bad call. You needed two different views at the same time to tell for sure, one of the hand getting in and one of the tag. But the tag didn't get him any higher than the ribcage and it was clear that he had touched the plate by then.

All the millions of dollars and they can’t sync up two camera angles with time stamps?

Heckuva an outing for Milone.

[CynBeth]

You knew that was going to happen after we lost an extra run we should have gotten.

Not that I am worried about him but 8 games in and our worse start statistically was by Means.

I’m not a Means guy.

So we have 4 innings of relief to cover (barring extra innings).

Armstrong and Scott have gone two days in a row so they probably aren't available.  Castro went last night so he won't go more than an inning.   Phillips went 1.2 last night so he's probably not available.

That leaves:

   -- Castro for this inning at most-
   -- Fry (only lefty we have)
   -- Hess & Eshelman (one of whom will be saved for possible extra innings)
   -- Givens and Sulser (both pitched 2 days in a row, with last night off, so they are probably available today since we are off tomorrow)
   -- Lakins (went 1 inning last night)

Good breakdown. Having off tomorrow helps.
