Wednesday afternoon: Rubber match vs Tampa

[Il BuonO]

Big out there for Tate.

[SteveA]

Way to go Tate!    Come into the game with a man on 3rd and one out and a great hitter up, and get out of it unscathed!

[Il BuonO]

Nice play, good job by Tate!

[O's84]

Despite the umpire's efforts, we get out of the inning unscathed. 

[SteveA]

Best part of the order here, we need to add on.

[SteveA]

Well, the good news is even if we don't score here, we have gotten to DJ's spot in the order this inning meaning after he bats we can bring McKenna in as a defensive replacement for the 8th instead of waiting for the 9th.

No kidding, and then all of a sudden he’s calling the high strike this inning.

[SteveA]

Come on Ramon!!!

I can only imagine how frustrating it is to the players.

[Il BuonO]

Mountcastle with a “look what I found”.

[SteveA]

With that K, Wander Franco is now down to .200 batting average (.624 OPS).

[Il BuonO]

Boy, Fry really making them look bad.

[SteveA]

Can't blame the ump for that walk.   On Gameday, none of the four balls was in the same county as home plate.

Yeah, weird. Good command to the first two guys and poor command to Lowe.

[Il BuonO]

But Choi is no match.
