Good to see the rapport between Stowers, Gray Rod and Adley in the pregame show.  You can see they have a friendly relationship and joke around.  Looking forward to having them all on the major league team soon.  Adley and Stowers were making jokes about Gray Rod's enormous head.  Gray Rod, said that Adley "always thinks he's the leader"

[SteveA]

We had a couple hard hit balls in the 1st, at least.

[Philip]

I don’t like the new format at mlb.com at all, but after five pitches we have two outs, so I’m not complaining.

In other news, in the top of the first the rays are up over the Yankees one- nothing, Which is never bad news.

[SteveA]

Another ball 4 called a strike 3

[O's84]

I see an awful call every night from an umpire and there's another one.

[Philip]

Well, at least it’s still nothing nothing. The Yankees tied the Rays Grumble grumble

[SteveA]

Red Sox and Yankees both starting former Orioles in critical game 160.  Red Sox also facing one.

[SteveA]

Garceau: "Blue Jays went 19-9 in September.  They've won 19 of their last 28".

Two ways of saying exactly the same thing.

[Philip]

Eshelman through the innings on 16 pitches. Maybe he’s a Mensch after all…

 

edit: or not…

[O's84]

A strike that was not called, I'm honestly ready for the robo umps at this point.

[O's84]

And then that happens.... I mean it's  a joke.  

[SteveA]

Come on Greene, see if you can get out of this...

Explain the thread title to me.   

[Frobby]

Didn’t understand how the safe call on Gutierrez didn’t stand.
