Tuesday, April 11: Gas Can T-Shirt Night, O's vs A's

[Spakman]

God let this be the last game, that McKenna plays

McKenna not sent down to assure us our #1 farm ranking.

[Moose Milligan]

Gunnar’s amazing patience is the only thing he’s got going for him at the moment.

I don't think McKenna getting sent down would, in and of itself, lower the ranking of the farm system that much.

Actually the umpire has been pretty good tonight.

That last call literally touched the strike zone and the other split was just off.

12+ mph difference between FB and Change-up and he's locating them well. So glad to see him recovering from shaky spring training and start of the season--he was vital during the last month of last season.

Just get Adley up. C’mon Cedric.

Well at least he's got something going--and a very good thing to have.

Ben is on that analysis. Mullins is definitely pulling off the ball.

[Aristotelian]

Grayson ends up with 6 K in 4.1 for 12.5 K/9. If he could have just put away a couple more guys he had down in the count he could have easily ended up with 10 K's and finished 5 without having to bring in Voth.

[Jagwar]

Remember when Cedric and Santander could hit? Good times.

[SteveA]

Austin needs a triple for the cycle.  This would be a nice time for it.

[Gurgi]

Thank god he didnt ground into a DP.  

[Tony-OH]

Man, with Mullins and Santander so hot, I can see why they could not find PAs for Stowers.

I noticed last year defenses were shifting  on him which really surprised me for the type of hitter he should be. He really has become a dead pull hitter which seems like a terrible approach for his profile.
