Him and that other dude, absolutely killed us.  I can't remember his name off the top of my head, I think it starts with a K, too.  Outfielder.  Just tormented us.

Pillar?

That's not Kiermeier out there tonight. Has to be an impersonator.

Great start by Grayson tonight and no way should he have been given the loss.

Gonna lose some this way.  Just move on.  Kinda flukey.  Two hit by pitches in a row.  What are the odds?

Man that 6th inning brought back memories of the O's under Dave Trembley.

 Poor Dave. Such a nice guy.  Also exposed Leo Mazzone as a fraud.

Pillar?

Yep.  

I just looked him up.  15 homers against us, doesn't have double digits against any other team.

His career OPS is .705.  Against us, it's .877, and it's in more plate appearances than any other team he's gone up against except the Yankees.

I'm convinced that if a team wanted to beat us in a short series, they'd cut two of their outfielders, sign Kiermaier and Pillar and they'd sweep us without much of a hassle.

Pillar used to kill us in CF too. I remember thinking Ben Zobrist was a real nemesis.

Yeah that's who I thought you were having bad memories of!

Almost had a stroke when we played Atlanta earlier this year and I didn't realize he was playing for them.

[baltfan]

Maybe need to try Irvin with runners on. He seems to throw strikes at least.

Yes, him.  **** that guy, too.

Don't forget Encarnacion and Bautista. I haven't.
