Thursday, July 20: Orioles vs Rays to begin the biggest series of the Elias/Hyde era

[86this]

Pre-requisite for Santander to dirty his uniform every 2 innings today.

[O's84]

Might have to hope that tail end Gibson/Middle relief gets the job done.

I have seen enough. Gunnar is ROY

[Fiver6565]

Whoa that throw from Gunnar. And Siri is fast AF.

[spiritof66]

That was Gunner Henderson. Wow. So far I like him much better at 3B than at SS.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Okay. Gotta say… Gibson settled down and has done well. Let’s hope he’s got another inning in him. 

[Alasdaire]

The 81 MPH from Gunnar that KB mentioned wasn't the impressive part, it's the charge and accuracy that made the play. Would like to see him stay at third and get more reps at that. Let Ortiz/Westburg/Mateo play short.

Gibson is eating a cookie on the bench. Is his day completed?

I used to play with a guy who would find a reason to dive in the dirt by the second inning. I called him Pigpen but it didn't stick.

Probably comes back out and get pulled if he allows a base runner.

That’s Hyde’s MO.

We needed that hit. Get goin' Colton! Nice.

[Winter]

Cowser snuck it through woohoo

I like him at both! I saw Bill Ripken did a segment about Gunnar on MLB network comparing him to the SS on the last 6 World Series winners. I hadn’t realized how elite company that was. To those who want to stop gap the position until Holliday arrives, you may want to check it out. It’s also on YouTube.

Nice to see Cowser get a hit, even if doesn't lead to anything.
