To call it a good outing for a starter to only go five innings is not accurate. 

I'd be pleased with one run over five.  Not three.

I remember Bordick once said: 5IP 4ER, a good start for him.

Me: Really??

[joelala]

Means doesn’t have it this year. 

[HowAboutThat]

Remind me why Phillips is here?

[O's84]

Hey, it's Miguel Castro at OPC again!

[weams]

Nice outing for Castro. 

[Can_of_corn]

Have to say they are trying to mount a comeback.

To be used in games like this when we are hopelessly behind.

I left Glens Falls NY a couple minutes before 1, it usually takes 6.5 to 7 hours (or 8 or 9+ with bad east coast traffic),.

I never expected to be home in time to catch the end of the game on TV.

I think the only time I've ever made the trip this quickly was on a Christmas Day.

I like the Mets radio guys.   They were pretty knowledgable about the Orioles.  Once i got close enough to switch to 105.7, I was not particularly impressed with Melanie Newman.   Technically sound but kind of sleep inducing.    First time I'd listened to her much.

Tampa Bay has hit a couple of 2-run home runs, have a runner on 2nd base, and there is still nobody out in the top of the 1st inning against the Yankees ...... you know, for all you Rays fans here on the OH.

I once ran a 16-mile training run through the woods and trails from Lake George to Glens Falls, and then back again.

I bought a cold Gatorade at a store in Glens Falls at the halfway-mark (8 Miles) before heading back to Lake George.

I once road my bike from GF to LG and back.   Something to do on the morning of my sister's wedding in Glens Falls back in '93 or so.

A bit easier than running.

Maybe we passed each other.

We weren’t hopelessly behind until he came in.

Everyone in the East is a Rays fan when the Rays are playing the Yankees.

We were down 7-2 with men on 2nd and 3rd and 2 outs in the top of the 8th.

Between 1957 and 2019 there were 282 games with that exact situation (5 run lead for the visitor, 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs in the top of the 8th).   The visitor won 281 of those 282 games.

That situation is over a 99% win expectancy.   That is EXACTLY the situation you bring in your worst reliever.
