Sunday, September 17 -- climactic battle with Tampa played amidst the raindrops

[Malike]

The good news is we usually play better when Jay is sashaying around his home in the predatory Loan Depot commercial vs. ARod and his gum disease.

I didn't say he's been terrible. I said he's been mediocre. To my memory on average he's been about the same as Gibson lately. Hence who gets the 3rd spot? And for the record I like Kremer. He just gets in too much trouble w the HR ball. Can't afford to give up too many of those in the postseason 

Last 5 starts for Kremer: 3.00 ERA, 3.15 FIP

Last 5 for Gibson: 5.40 ERA, 4.93 FIP

Gibson had three starts in August worse than Kremers worst start. He may not be in the playoffs rotation at all depending on how Means does

I admire the attempt, but it appears that posting evidence doesn't help.  Not that we didn't try

Some people are impervious to facts, nice try, though!

Back to impatient at bats.   Hicks takes great ABs tough to have him out right now.  Santander is flailing and needs a break, Frazier again because I guess he is Hyde’s favorite player? 

[eddie83]

Ump cost him what 8 pitches?

[Morgan423]

That missed strike 3 call only cost Kremer 5 more pitches, but who's counting really?

The Rays broadcast is really good.

The pitcher they are facing has a very low walk rate and a high first strike percentage.

Should the Oriole hitters just start every at bat 0-1?

Gunnar being impatient last night in his first 2 PAs turned in awful results as well.

Makes him throw more pitches that way….

[eddie83]

Diaz didn’t run I assume. 

[Aristotelian]

Either that dude is really slow or he wasn't hustling

[Chavez Ravine]

Let’s not have a pitcher’s duel already down a run. Some runs please.

He didn't appear to be running it out. I doubt he thought it was clanking off the glove, but that's no excuse not to hustle.
