93 is low velocity?

What I mean is we do well against some of the top pitchers with the really good fastballs. Against bums like Rom, we struggle.

Our problem is Rom is pumped to beat the Orioles.  Tonight is his superbowl.

It makes Tampa fans happy!

That's what I call disrespect, sac bunting in the third inning. They are not afraid of this offense.

Fair enough.  And I know that it's encouraged in the game threads.  But it's constant right now, even at times when there's barely anything negative going on, and it's exhausting and anxiety-driving. 

I have a feeling I'm going to have to stop hanging in games threads because of it, which is really sad, because I enjoy celebrating all the good stuff with you guys.

Kevin Brown is trying to jinx us.  Watch the Rays sweep our butts.

Dude has a .400 OPS. I don't call it disrespect.

Gibson lucked out there

Gamecast showing that Nootbar flyout was caught at the wall.

When Rom was with the O's, was he even in the top 5 of pitchers to call up for an emergency start?  It will suck if the Cardinals turn him into the MLB minimum version of Gibson.

Just got in, what happened to Mountcastle?  It reads like he hurt his shoulder fielding.
