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

[Mooreisbetter27]

So they hit a bouncer to the catcher and two chops to the pitcher and scored. Cano was really good and will get the loss if we don’t score

[Moose Milligan]

That sucks. Two Baltimore chops and there’s nothing we could do. 

[Just Regular]

This half inning a good example why Gunnar Adley 1-2 can be helpful....let's hope they can make something of it.

Against Shawn Armstrong.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Does he swing away… we will see shortly.

[eddie83]

Say it now. Not after fact .  Should he bunt ?

[Morgan423]

Play for the tie.  Bunt the runner over, it gains ~ 5% to score in the inning.  IMO, let's see what Hyder does.

[eddie83]

No bunt shown. 

[eddie83]

Stay back.  Don’t pull off.

We get a guy on second too. With 0 out, man on second we have a 38% chance of losing, 35% chance of scoring one, and 12% chance of a walkoff.

I don’t think I’d bunt with Gunnar and ADLEY up next.

Can’t bunt now. Put it in play. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Ugh. Just nasty. It’s crazy to me how good Armstrong has become in TB. 

[Winter]

Just a bad AB... awful 

[eddie83]

Terrible at bat. Brutal. Swinging from his heels. 

[Just Regular]

Might have been better off letting Cano try to bunt if that was going to be the play.
