If he's that good why was he at Norfolk all year?

He wasn't. He got called up after a strong start, but due to a numbers crunch we didn't have any spots to pitch him. And we weren't going to put him above Grayson Rodriguez or Cole Irvin or any of the others. There are only 26 spots on the active roster, and 13 of those can be pitchers.

Just because we have a lot of depth and a congested roster, does not mean he's no good.

A team with Goldscmidt and Arenado and we let Richie Palacios beat us?.

No pressure for the Cardinals. Their highlight this year is to be spoilers.

Well.. let’s charge into the TB series playing like this.  It will work great

He is no good

If not for a Mullins grand slam, the Orioles could be going for their fourth straight L. This is a classic baseball funk, only it was extremely badly-timed.

We can't win with 0 runs and 0 hits.

Baseball God's want Tampa to win.

That's not a real thing...

If Palacios suddenly loves hitting in Oriole Park this much, maybe we should trade for him as a depth piece. Sheesh.

[Dunk35]

Gibson will be done after 5. Starters are taxing this bullpen bad.

If you can't beat'em, join'em.

Actually if it's just a 4 game funk and we come out of it tomorrow, I would say it was extremely WELL timed.

[tntoriole]

Let’s get a daggone stupid run!!! 

[Roy Firestone]

We better wake up or we will find ourselves losing our first place position by the end of the weekend...we just look gassed...and I think Hearn, even with a lefty out there is a player who can ignite us....

[royalstillman]

At least we have Flaherty to look forward to tomorrow.
