That was one of the most fun defensive innings I’ve watched in a bit

I've had them, they are good.

When Hollander was in front of the stand, I saw it also sold a "Saratoga Beef Sandwich".  A Google search to determine exactly what that is came up with nothing.

I'm going tomorrow, but my friend and I are hitting a couple breweries before the game and will probably eat somewhere before the game, so I may have to wait until next time to investigate the Saratoga Beef Sandwich.

So I’ll have to see if I change my mind to try that instead!

Actually have gotten in the habit of just hitting up the club level before games bc of the free drinks and such. If the lines are too long by the time I get there, idk.

In the hands of both bullpens now.  TB 7th in the majors with a 3.00 bullpen ERA, Os 9th with a 3.11, so close overall.  But as Kevin Brown indicates, they have a ton of good relievers on the IL or unavailable.

I like our chances.

Game has gone really fast so far, if either team can get something going may seem like it’s crawling in comparison. 

[Moose Milligan]

That ball was smoked.

Ryan gets them started.

With one out, that is exactly the time you take the risk and try to get to third base.  Hope that doesn't turn out possibly costing us.

I don't think Adley could make it to third on that one.

[Moose Milligan]

That was incredibly lucky that RMC didn’t get gunned at the plate.

Shockingly it didn't 

[waroriole]

I think this Adley guy might be ok.

Agree completely. He should have been out at the plate on Adley's single.

I'm fine with the call either way.  I'm not excited about the idea of Odor up with runners on the corners.

Yeah and starting an hour early right near the longest day of the year, this could be the rare night game where there's still light in the sky when you are leaving the park (if you don't stick around for the concert).

I experienced that at Tiger Stadium once, around this time of year.  7pm game was over around 9:30 (games went quicker back in those days), and the combination of Tiger Stadium being farther north and also as far west as you can get in the EDT zone meant the sun had just set.  Leaving a night game after it was over with bright red twilight sky was bizarre.

True.
