Stowers pinch hits for Odor if he is up again 

Or Vavra, since he plays the position?   Especially if no one is on and onbase is more important than power?

Huge half inning incoming... let's hope Voth can somehow do it.

Love Buc-ees! Good selection of jerky too! And the cleanest rest rooms around. I call it the Costco of truck stops, but actually trucks aren’t allowed.

Oh yeah. Buccees is awesome. There's one about 45 mins from me. Great brisket and cheap (relatively speaking) gas.

Damn. Lead-off walk. We'll never get out of this.

Seriously. An entire block-long wall of jerky selections.

Kinda figured the leash would be short with the bullpen rested.

Walk Bregman AGAIN .. come and get Voth

I live sort of nearby and have been to a couple of Orioles games there. It's a domed stadium, what else can you say? It feels small and strange to watch a baseball game indoors. Other than that, very nice stadium.

 

Oh, it's a complete dome and not a retractible?

Well, I'm pretty stupid then, I've been listing the weather forecast in the Game Thread opener for all 3 games because I thought the dome could be opened or closed.

Six innings of one-hit ball and Voth is going to be a hard-luck loser if Baker lets the inherited runner score.

Bregman approach is the exact opposite of Mountcastle

Good pulled pork also. The one near me in Daytona is a disaster to get in and out of though. The people watching down here almost makes it worth it.

It can be opened.

It is retractable.

If we can’t score 1 run, pretty hard for somebody not to lose

Stopped there earlier this year on a road trip from Houston (my wife's parents live out there) to Wimberley.  Brisket sandwich was tasty, now that you mention it.  Pretty good gasoline cuisine.
