April 9: Orioles at Rays

[SteveA]

Geez, was Hays playing over by the line?   We gave Lowe a HUGE gap in right center and he hit it there.

Unfortunate OF positioning there.

Or the pitcher missed his spot.

[Moshagge3]

A whole lot of non-competitive pitches from Lyles this inning. If the O's get out of this down only three, it will be fortunate.

[Moshagge3]

Rays need a HR for the cycle this inning.

[OriolesMagic83]

$7 million just doesn't buy what it used too.  

[OriolesMagic83]

Rays hitting Lyles like its batting practice.

Yeah, I expected a guy who is prone to giving up HRs.   But he's just throwing stuff to the middle of the plate and serving up base hits all over the field.

Good quick reaction by Mountcastle, too bad we couldn't go to the plate for the force.

[Morgan423]

Walking the bases loaded isn't the worst result there.

[mrbig1]

Time to get someone up.

Yeah. Not complicated. He has no command.

Going to be a lonnnng season if this guy is number 2 

[SteveA]

So who is our long man if Lyles can't get out of the 2nd?   Keeping in mind that someone (Akin?) is probably being held back to be a piggyback starter for Wells tomorrow.

Dean Kremer?  Baumann?

Nice play Hays.   

Tampa now has 5 runs this  series.  4 have scored on outs, 3 sac flies and a run scoring groundout.

The announcers were clearly wondering why he didn’t go home  at first because of course they are seeing the same thing as us on a Tv nf not there watching.

[Moshagge3]

Keegan Akin in the bullpen like, "I coulda done this."

[Pushmonkey]

Wooof.
