Henderson's throws are all so sketchy.

Mountcastle’s fault.

[Malike]

Need some breathing room this inning. Damage this man's balls!

[Mooreisbetter27]

Let’s get something guys!

[Mooreisbetter27]

Well that should’ve been a ball. MC does love those low pitches. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

There we go. Let’s keep working him. 

[Winter]

Get him in Hays

[Mooreisbetter27]

Cripes Hays. That almost hit you. 

[Il BuonO]

Not a fan of the Frazier signing, but that last AB is just a great job of hitting with two strikes.

Come on Gunnar. Put one where Keirmaier can’t catch it. 

[Hank Scorpio]

Good lord Hays… that was a foot inside 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Damnit.

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.

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 hard enough to win a game scoring only 2 runs, let alone without your ace relievers.  Hopefully we can hold down the fort and get an insurance run.
