Good grief. Still can’t score.

At least this is McClannahan’s last inning. Man we have had to face some really good pitchers these last 4 games!

[Billy F-Face3]

Well maybe McCann mcCan't. Bummer.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Loving whichever computer spit out this lineup 

[Roy Firestone]

I gotta figure thats all for MCClanahan...our chance...but we have to keep it a 1 run game..

Well he went up looking dead red and got a single. That was McClanahan's fault. Why anyone throws a straight strike to Mountcastle is beyond me. He'll literally swing at a ball in the other batter's box.

What lineup can it split out that will hit McClanahan?  He's pretty damn tough.

[Gurgi]

The Orioles look amazing losing in such close fashion to such a wonderful team as Tampa.

They way their guy is pitching I really don’t think it would matter much. We could have the AL Allstar team, 98 heat with great location and a change up at 82 that dives like it does would be just about anybody. 

[Tony-OH]

Gibson has gotten us where we want so they need to be careful if he gets a couple guys on.

[Gurgi]

Gibson has to be on a short leash here.  Probably they dont let him go past 105 pitches.  

[Bemorewins]

What are the realistic chances that Grayson can become as good as McClannahan one day?

[Mooreisbetter27]

Can we get some bloops too? I’ll take anything. They’ve had a few today. 

[Aristotelian]

Aside from the HR, the hits off Gibson have all been garbage. We just need one.ofnthose to fall in.
