I went back through.  You are more correct than I thought.  It isn’t prior to being sent down bad, but definitely not good.  

Luckily some of them were outs, but's flirting with disaster.

He's not old enough to have seen A-Rod or Griffey.

The gray hair fools me at times.

I think too much rest.

Team really misses Santander vs lefties. 

[Malike]

Springer bailed him out.

[Moose Milligan]

If G rod can get through 6 without allowing more damage this isn’t gonna be so bad. I mean there are going to be the posters here who think this is a terrible start because he doesn’t look like a Cy Young contender but those people are a bit silly.

Our heavy right handed lineup leaves a lot to be desired.

The fact that he can throw his secondaries for strikes now goes a long way.  Worst command since he has been back though.

Pretty good result against a talented offensive club when he doesn't have his best stuff

Jorge gets us started!   Don't know if Kikuchi/Jansen is a good combo to run on, but at least make them think about it.

[Moose Milligan]

Ok Mateo steal 2nd. 

[baltfan]

Orioles really should go all in on Yamamoto.  I can’t think of the last Japanese pitcher that wasn’t worth their initial contract.  Not saying he will choose the Orioles, but they should try. 

[SteveA]

Rockies just toying with us, taking a lead in the top of the 6th in St Petersburg.   Just getting our hopes up before the inevitable Ray win.

[Chavez Ravine]

I may be nutty, but Mateo has seemed better at the plate lately.

[Moose Milligan]

Back to back innings getting the first two on. LFG.
