Trying to Avoid the Sweep (vs. BLUE JAYS, 8/19)

[eddie83]

Castro up. 

[allquixotic]

We're going to have to rely on a Santander HR to tie it up, and that the pen won't leak. Otherwise, game over.

[JR Oriole]

Grichuk's career numbers against us versus the rest of the majors is staggering.  Batting average and power.  Stop pitching to that guy.  Four fingers....every time.  We never learn

[Beef Supreme]

Question: Could Dwight Smith at least run hard to try to look like he cares?

[allquixotic]

5 outs left for the O's. Nothing but elite pitchers from the Jays. We're hosed.

Edit: I know it's technically 6, but Davis is in the lineup, so 5. If there's a man on first, possibly 4.

Saying Davis is automatic and not counted?

Yes. 100.000000000000% automatic out. Possibly 2.

Their pen seems to be really good.

[allquixotic]

And with Grichuk being an automatic home run, and a lot of our guys being "0-fers" today, yeah... not looking good.

[eddie83]

I really don’t get this usage of the pen. Only used Tate Monday. 

[scOtt]

My God! Out in front and DEEP to the Warning Track.

Maybe Severino hits for him. 

[scOtt]

Loud single.

[eddie83]

Just don’t get this. At all. Can see Lakins and Sulser not available.

Holoday can play 1B.
