Friday, August 27: Rain threatens as Rays come into town to face suddenly red hot Orioles

[SteveA]

Damn, that was a HR.

[Yossarian]

Mountcastle has really been hitting the ball hard lately.  He has two balls put into play today at 105 and 103 mph but nothing to show for it.  The hits will come.  He is getting much more comfortable at the plate.  

[SteveA]

16 in a row.

3 runs in 6 innings.

87 pitches.

I can't imagine he comes back out in the 7th, right?

Is it possible that Harvey gets through 6 in this game?  After that first inning, I would not have been surprised if he didn't get through 3.

'Tis so!

I would send him out for the 7th.

Which at-bat?

He could.  Under 90 pitches.  As soon as he gives up a baserunner you yank him.

[Il BuonO]

Need to capitalize here.

[LA2]

Two runners on and the sizzling hot, touch each base slowly Pedro Severino at the plate.

[SteveA]

Still a ton of Stones in the PA.  I've heard Emotional Rescue already, and now Under My Thumb.

When they played a lot earlier this week I thought it was because Charlie Watts had just passed away.  But maybe whoever programs the music loves the Stones.

[LA2]

I went away after two innings and came back expecting to see Harvey long gone because of all the pitches he had already thrown. Very impressive.

[spiritof66]

Take your time, Pedro. It's not that important.

[LA2]

The Might Sevvy has DP'd out. O's have left some choice opportunities on the table.

Mountcastle robbed by Kiermaier.  Pretty sure it was gone.  His glove was at least a foot and a half higher than the wall.  Now he was a foot or two in front of the wall so maybeayne the ball on it's downward trajectory would have hit the top of the wall.

But I think it would have gone over
