Friday, June 17: early start time as Rays and Flo Rida come to town

[bpilktree]

The Rays feeling like the Orioles of years past when we were in close games and had to bring in a reliever that had an ERA over 10 into a game.  It doesn’t work out well often.

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

Yeah I was taking about Mountcastle the play before.  Agree on Rutschman.

I think this Adley guy might be ok. 

I'm tempering expectations. I'm just looking for a Posey-like career but with 450 career homers out of Rutschman.

After a slow start, Rutschman is an RBI machine.

Switch hitting Jesus and nothing less.

Nevin takes 2 for the team

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

The odds on a perfect throw are pretty low, but yeah if he makes a good one, Mountcatle is probably out. Like the send though

Pretty cool when a guy you haven't heard much about comes to the big leagues and looks like he's got some talent.

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.

What other stadiums have you been to? I've been to OPACY, Atlanta, and Arizona. I REALLY wanna go to Colorado.

I know, I was joshing you since I replied after the run scored.

I'd need to see another shot of the Mountcastle double to give a real opinion on it.

A couple of strikeouts after the single. We see what would’ve been the result if they don’t send Mountcastle 

[waroriole]

I don’t like sending Bautista back out but I guess Hyde doesn’t really trust anyone besides him and Lopez.

Exactly.

I just noticed that Paredes and Walls hit back to back. Is Cash bilingual and funny?

Seems more like a move Maddon would have made.
