Hyde probably sends up a pinch hitter for Stowers before his first at bat.

I want blood today.

Was watching the DL Hall outing while waiting for this to start, and although his line looks kinda good, 3 walks in the first inning plus a hit batter?  Broadcaster thought maybe he was working on something but just looked like the same lack of command as what we've seen up to this point, ever since my Allentown trip last summer.  Boo.

Edit: Sorry to be so wordy, will work on that for the game lol

Sounds like he was doing a great job of working on walking and hitting batters.

You guys wanna get wasted?  Take a drink every time Kevin Brown references Jordan Lyles being on the Orioles last year.

[Roy Firestone]

Do we have to start EVERY game with a strikeout?

[mrbig1]

We've been striking out a lot lately.

[Moose Milligan]

Wow, we got a break.  

[mrbig1]

I'll take it.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Gotta catch the game on the old Gamecast today.  

[FlaO'sFan]

Wow, he crushed that and nice to take advantage of the dropped ball.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Nice!  Hopefully Santander starts to heat up.

[mrbig1]

Santander has left the building.

[Moose Milligan]

Whoa, Tony Taters living up to that nickname!  

And drink!  Yes, Kevin Brown, they were almost all former teammates of Lyles last year!
