Hays had to try.  There isn’t much left in the bullpen. 

He was already on scoring position ?  You want him to steal home or something?

Alright fellas. I'd like to say this was fun, but it was a good game of baseball to watch, especially if you are just a fan of the game of baseball. 

The game of inches and the Braves are just a few inches better.

They played well overall. One bad decision last night to want the Coulumbe/Pillar match up instead of trusting Baker to get the job done after throwing just 16 pitches and the Orioles would have taken 2 of 3 potentially. 

This Braves team is pretty darn good.

Sure looks like the streak is over.

But this was pretty high level baseball today, save Stowers and Mountcastle.

Hyde may have said to be aggressive. Trying to save the bullpen, and I'm partly serious.

But this is almost like a sudden death scenario. It's not going to be a long bullpen game. IF we survive here in the 11th I would be very surprised.

Rays are losing 5-0 to Gerrit Cole. At least they'll be on a losing streak when they come in.

Not sure that’s a good thing. Who knows. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Acuna bout to end it. 

[eddie83]

Don’t give in here.

Yes they are, but no time clock in baseball.   Still have a shot 

 

edit: didn’t see Baumann was in lol

But when you know it's one of those special players... don't freaking run.

There are guys with great arms that I still might take a shot there .  A Ramon Laureano or something.   Make them make the great play.   

But Acuna is at another level, it's like running on Clemente or something.

Eh, he got by a few inches. 

[eddie83]

Now walk him. 

[emmett16]

Oh snap/.  Baumann in.  Gosh.  Hope he doesn’t get whiplash

No I want him to be able to score on a sac fly

[eddie83]

Ok. Riley now.

Dont forget Bautista.....he deserves lots of scorn for his performance.
