Friday, July 21: Showdown in St Pete continues

[Uli2001]

Just a reminder that TB will have to come to Baltimore in September for a 4-game series, and they are very ordinary on the road. A split in this series would be a very bad result for them.

Just win 1 of the next 2 and I’ll be happy. Shouldn’t be too hard to do. 

[Just Regular]

Bradish gains qualified status and the AL Top 10 in ERA.

Everyone saying we've lost this game can turn off their TV and keep it off through October

[Winter]

start the inning off with a pitch in the right batters box called a strike lol

Since the game is over why don't you old guys wave a nice glass of warm milk and toddle off to bed.

You think Eflin has thrown a lot of balls we could have taken to work the counts more???

No he hasn’t.  Personally I’m happy to see the O’s be a little more aggressive than the first three innings. Eflin is just really good tonight.

Please let ALL talk cease right now about moving Gunnar to another position. This kid looks like he has future MVP potential. Do we have ourselves a potential left-handed version of the great Cal Ripken Jr on our hands? I know that he has a LONG way to go. But the kids is special!

I think it's okay to keep discussing the possibility when he's the third-best shortstop on the 40-man in addition to the number-one prospect in baseball also playing the position.

[Roy Firestone]

God awful offense tonight, and to be honest except for one inning last night(and the spotted run in the 10th) we haven't hit well the entire series...

TB desperately needed Eflin to come through for them, and did he ever.

[Roy Firestone]

Getting out-pitched,we have done NOTHING tonight with the bats...and tomorrow..their best pitcher faces our slumping offense...

I am confident the Orioles can win one of these three games (today is not over).

[dtk9119]

I know you can't win every game but the hitters haven't been competitive. Looks like Efflin is done. Maybe they can do something off Poche.

Fuji probably coming in.. hope he can hold it at 2 0.

Man, Cinoel Perez does not sit still in the pen. He's always moving, walking around, talking to people, stretching, etc...
