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

[allquixotic]

Randall Grichuk single-handedly sweeping the Orioles. I hate that guy!!!!!!!!!!!

So I don’t mind letting him start the inning, but I do mind not having anybody up ready to come in

I can just imagine Baltimore playing a team that included Grichuk and Gleyber Torres.  How many runs a game would that team produce?

Ok, why didn’t our runners try to take home on that wild pitch/passed ball?

 

it bounced away and the catcher didn’t go after it.

I only saw the replay and was focused on the ump. Did he foul tip it?

 

 

Tommy center cut. Grichuk takes the lead.

Not only that, but he didn't intentionally walk Grichuk or try to pitch around him. Gave him a meatball.

I wish someone would hit that guy with a 100 MPH fastball. I'm not advocating for drilling him in the head, but I'm advocating for drilling him somewhere.

Lot of people don't like Garceau but he said the right thing there. "Why would you even pitch to him?"

Santander and Grichuk in the home run derby would be interesting.

What in the hell is Hyde waiting on.

11 RBIs this series. That's like Mookie Betts killed us the last few years...

Buck was the guy who left his starters in too long. I haven't seen that much from Hyde this year, but the fact that a reliever isn't on the mound right now is Hyde's fault if we get scored upon any more.

Have to agree. Needed Armstrong or someone to finish off his inning.

NEVER GIVE UP!!!

 

Only down 1.

Milone was real good but come on. Up 1 run there not 4/5. Classic TTTO.

Problem is runner in front of him got on.
