And still no concrete plans for a new one. TB’s success is utterly bizarre. I grew up in Florida when they were horrible. It’s unbelievable that they’ve become a yearly contender. 

The owner keeps trying to get someone else to pay for it.  After what happened in Miami why would Tampa/St Pete want any part of that?

Also his proposed plans are unrealistic.  Oh you want to build in Ybor eh?  Good luck.

Why would Mullins swing at that crap?

Are you serious dude?  It was in the middle of the plate and then last second dived low and in. There’s not a hitter in baseball who doesn’t swing at that pitch with two strikes.

The Orioles are playing like they have spent too much time drinking stuff other than water in their hom er Hose.   Beer bongs kills brain cells. 

[Billy F-Face3]

Ramon must have pulled a muscle 

[Moose Milligan]

LMAO Gunnar Henderson to pinch hit. Only one way this ends.

Insert joke about Gunnar not swinging with two strikes.

Get Joey on a bus

Damn, hate to lose Urias.

From my seat at home after drinking three beers it looked like an awful pitch to swing at.   So Hell yah I am serious.   

[Fiver6565]

Gunnar will almost certainly strike out here based on what we’ve seen so far from Adam. 

[Yossarian]

Need Gunnar to get a HBP

Are the teams we beat really that bad though.  The A’s and Royals are bad but some of the other dams are at least playing decent ball so far in most games. The Red Sox are now 21-15 on the season.  3-6 vs us and Rays and 18-9 vs everyone else.  The Tigers are 16-18 on year while being 1-9 vs us and Rays and 15-9 vs everyone else this year.  The White Sox have poor record but are 1-9 vs us and Rays and just under .500 vs everyone else.   Some of the teams that we beat early in year and people thought were bad teams are playing decent ball against other teams.  

You are reaching for straws here. But whatever makes you sleep better at night. 

[BraveOriole]

Hopefully we’ll win tomorrow.

Urias pulled up lame running to first.   Wonder how bad it is.
