OK Dean, give us one more inning here and then it will be up to Perez/Voth/Coulombe/Givens to take it the rest of the way.

A close game that looks like it will be decided by bullpen vs. bullpen. Who could have guessed that was coming?

[NCRaven]

So much for clean innings.

I check the IL individual stats every few days, but I hadn't looked at the IL standings for a while. The Tides are 31-12, eight games ahead of second-place Durham in the IL East and five games ahead of the first-place teams in the IL West. Pretty good.

The Tides have outscored their opponents by 126 runs. The next best run differential in the IL is +41. If you assume each of the Tides' 12 losses was by only one run, they would have a +138 run differential in their 31 wins, an average margin of victory of 4.45 runs. To the extent some or all of the losses were by more than a run, the average margin in the Tides' 31 wins has been higher than 4.45 runs. Now that's impressive.

It's almost as if they have a bunch of guys playing a level below where they belong.

Sit down Merrifield. Now I’ll take a dp.

Kirk has hit the ball hard twice. 

[justD]

Whenever our pitcher gets to 2 strikes, it’s almost automatic the next pitch will be a fastball above the zone.  Do they think the hitters don’t anticipate that?  They rarely chase it.  Yet we continue with that formula.

Cionel time.

Great job today by Kremer.

[Mooreisbetter27]

3 times he’s hit the ball hard. Hope we get the good Perez.!

[Malike]

We're the only team in baseball that makes Kirk look good *this year*.

[O's84]

Hopefully we get good Perez.

I was going to add that but figured I'd let somebody else point it out. Maybe more to the point , it looks like there might be some offensive players at Norfolk who could play at a higher level.

[Il BuonO]

Still not sold on Perez this season, but short on options today.

11 baserunners in 5.1 is great?
