Who cares about that? The only point to baseball is WINNING. I'm fine with every single loss involving a perfect game by the other pitcher. Win or nothing.

 

You can't win if you don't have any baserunners.

Was raining like a muther on my ride home a bit ago.

 

House-shaking thunder on this side of the Everglades. Just Florida summer tings.

We don’t have a pitcher like this guy.  Yet.

Yea, sure we don't.

No way we have the top rated pitching prospect in the game.

If we did Elias would have promoted him.

Just like if we had the top position prospect.

No way Elias would let him sit at AAA instead of having him contribute to the ML team.

Pinch hitters, perhaps?

I don't mind a perfect game, well maybe a little. What I mind is the apparent inability of these guys to prolong ABs by taking balls and fouling off strikes. Except Odor, oddly enough.

[Gurgi]

Orioles looking pretty bad here.

Was really pleasant out at 630 this morning.  If it is like that tomorrow morning I might go for a walk.

Orioles have hit 7 balls 95+ today compared to the Rays' 4.

The Rays' positioning has been so much better than ours over these past two games.

[PHRESH]

Good chance he gets perfection with the next three guys due up

79 pitches. 56 strikes. There's math in there somewhere. I was told there would be no math in game threads.

The Rays are so good at identifying pitching talent that they drafted this guy, didn't sign him, then traded for him four years later.
