They're bringing in Bleier, we want to pinch hit a righty, but we don't have much.  Is Holoday the only RH hitter on the bench or am I forgetting someone?

How do you not have a usable RH hitter for the first time a team brings in a lefty reliever in the 6th inning, on a team with a 30 man roster?

First step is you leave the reigning AAA MVP in Bowie.

Whomever could you be referring to?

Good inning for Castro.   Gotta get at least one across this inning.

Castro has been quietly awesome since the second half last year.

He still scares me. He has no idea where the ball is going. I suppose it scares hitters too though 

[HOF19]

OK all my duties of the day are done and I can check on the Orioles..........Hmmm it seems the O's hitters are not game time ready as of yet.

[joelala]

Though that last K was nice and he was hitting spots 

[scOtt]

It's only 1-0. NEVER give up!

[SteveA]

OK, here we go, bottom of the 7th, last chance.

That Villar 2 out walk did one good thing... he wasn't the last out, so if we tie it up Berti will be on 2nd to start the 8th for Miami, not the speedy Villar.

[HOF19]

This Marlins pitching staff has a lot of All-stars in it right ?????

[SteveA]

Hays
Davis
Valaika

Who's the hero?

Not Sisco 3rd, he is out of the game.   Garceau can't read his own scorecard.

[Bubble Buddy]

Just dropped into say, that’s the best I’ve ever seen Castro look. That would be a nice development.

I don't know, I usually feel confident when he comes in. I'm a little surprised Sulser seemed to leapfrog over him in the closer conversation.

Pinch running Valaika but he went to SS
