He's calling a good game and the ump is calling about 65% of balls as strikes to help him out.

Pretty sure the umpire is from the "Eric Gregg School of Plate Work."

Rays tie it up

Tied up in TB

[O's84]

We need to get to Blach at the end of his pitch count.  Get a few guys on setting up for their terrible bullpen.

Torres could have had that.

Sometimes you gotta tip the cap. Blach is pitching probably his best game of his life. Hitting the black, taking advantage of this umpires low and wide zone, just an amazing outing for him. 

Sucks for us, but Blach is just on his A+ game today.

I would say he’s on his B+ game and the ump is grading on a curve.

I think this whole series we have looked lethargic adopt mediocre pitchers until it gets late..and they go to their pen...its just not a good trend to have...

Also, too many anxious ABs today vs. Cy Blach throwing to a 24” strike zone.

Rays just tied Yankees 4-4...

In the words of Buck, Hyde dry humps his relievers too often.  Had Fuji up and now he is down again.

He's still killing the Orioles years later.

Blach has been leaving mistakes in the middle at all. Give the man some credit.

I didn’t see it but hitter before had an infield hit. Two hits back to back under 65mph.

The bullpen called and said the cop in the bullpen just went yard off Fuji.

Not trying to take anything from Blach, but this atrocious umpire has set the tone all day. 

Once any of our hitters have reached two strikes, they're already out, because all Blach has to do is toss one into some spot 3 or 4 inches off the plate, and we K whether or not we swing at it.
