Ha!!!  Another mental blunder by the Rays gets us out of it!

I honestly started to wonder if I’d gotten it right when Santander ran in as if his was the third out, and when Mountcastle didn’t immediately touch the bag.

Kinda funny (?) watching GRod trying to direct traffic.  He must’ve been busting a gut when MC just stood there!

Siri irritates the crap out of me. Remember he was part of the useless Brett Phillips 3 way trade the orioles Astros and Rays made last season. Looks like TB easily got the best of that crap sandwich. 

Eh he's a one-trick pony, just looking for homers.

I liked the way Grayson pitched him there. Nine pitches and basically none in the zone. Didn't give him anything to drive.

Guys, Mateo bounced that throw on purpose. It’s not uncommon to see that play.

They’re taught to skip it on artificial turf, it speeds it up.

Edit: That’s what I’ve heard anyway

[Mooreisbetter27]

There’s a start. RMC worked him well that at bat.

And the first real hit of the game belongs to Ryan Mountcastle.

There we go. Finally got a hit against McClanahan and it was Ryan Mountcastle!

[baltfan]

Hicks has no chance. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Hicks having a lot Of swing and miss recently.

[Moshagge3]

I sure wish Ryan had done that in the first inning.

[Billy F-Face3]

This is concerning see how lost Hicks looks so far today 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Terrible at bat. 

[Alasdaire]

I'm playing body language doctor here, but Mountcastle looks focused. Not as much of the golden retriever routine. Wonder if his spot on this team flashed before his eyes at some point earlier this season.

This is a tough matchup but the clock might be striking midnight on Hicks.

Embarrassing AB Hicks!
