Man, I really hope that happens. What an epic collapse they're on. 

I hope so too but with our luck it won’t.

And some guy from the Tampa bullpen clone army named Jason Adam pitched the 9th and got the save.  Never heard of him and he is closing out a win vs the Yankees in a pennant race.

Do they have some kind of 3D printer that just creates a dozen or so anonymous relievers a year who put up 2.38 ERAs?

The only insight I’ve ever gotten was one interview with a pitcher who said being in their org taught him things about approach to throwing strikes and trusting your stuff. Otherwise it’s still a mystery to me.

Maybe we'll see Hall on the mound tonight.

You'll feel better once the league starts saying that about how the Orioles manufacture starting pitching out of abandoned mid-20s has-been prospects.

Damn Gunnar almost got a plaque on Eutaw St

Rays beat the NYYs, 2-1. Judge homered in the ninth (# 52), the team's third hit of the game.  

Judge is a beast, he has a chance at 60!  However the Yankees lead is down to 4 games and the Rays play them 4 for times this season and if they win those 4 they would win the head to head tie breaker.  So they control their fate at this point.

Might see Hall tonight if we keep scoring. 

Interesting possibility.

[Beysbol]

That was probably not a good challenge.

Gunnar is going to be a complete monster at the plate as he gets more experience and adds on more muscle.

We didn't ever see a replay shot that we could tell either way

Stowers is being serenaded by adoring fans.

The girls are going to like that California boy.   He looks like a young Chris Hemsworth.

Reading the collective freakout of Yankees fans on social media has been an endless source of entertainment recently. 

I know fans here in NY who say the best thing about their end of the summer trip abroad is that they can stop following the Yankees. August has been like watching all those big tech stocks collapse the last year.
