First thing I'll look for tonight is Kremer's control.  If he throws strikes we're in the hunt

[mrbig1]

Manoah is tough. could be a long game.

That was ruled a swing by ADLEY??

[CynBeth]

Once Springer got on that way had a bad feeling that was coming next.

That ball was crushed

Wtf was that strike on Vavra? Seriously what is wrong with these umpires recently.

I don't know, I loudly expressed my opinion about that to the ump. I know he can hear me.

It’s been really bad for over a week now and clearly isn’t getting any better.

Outfielders playing real shallow against Vavra (makes sense)

[CynBeth]

Unfortunately this looks like a 1 or no hit night for us.  

[Roll Tide]

Was the pitch to Guerro a good pitch or a mistake? I missed it but I’d make him hit trash

Yeah, I don't think Manoah is a guy you can beat one week and then beat again the next.  He's too good.  Not overpowering but great command.

Another pitcher with under 3 ERA in 137 innings that’s better than anyone we have. Wait a guy just told me that pitchers don’t go 6 innings anymore and it’s unfair to expect 6 Innings from him in AAA before a call up. ????

[Roll Tide]

If Kremer can hold the line I’m betting we can get 2 or 3 eventually
