Walk. FFS. Hall is gonna give up a dinger to Alvarez.

I have that same feeling.

Seriously our bullpen can't take this much stress. What is the plan here?!

[dtk9119]

Gibson wasn't terrible but as usual his pitch count stunk.

This bullpen is fried. Really needed more from Gibson. We might see Flaherty tonight.

Lordy Gibson. You get a play behind you…then you give up a walk.

I'm pretty sure that mound visit was to say don't give him anything to hit. Try and get him to swing outside of the zone.

[Moose Milligan]

Let's go Hall.

They just got a new ballpark approved, but it's a dome. Not retractable, just a dome. WTH?

Not worth a third of a billion in additional construction costs to be able to open the roof for 3 to 5 games a year.  Which is all the Rays are going to get in an average season in Tampa. 

[O's84]

Big out there 

[Mooreisbetter27]

GJ Hall. 

[CynBeth]

Nice getting out of that.

That's the drawback from having a 6 man rotation -- too many starters not enough relievers.  I really don't get it.  One of the current starters should go in the pen, preferably Gibson or Flaherty.

Good job Hall!!!

Hyde said before the game Flaherty has.

Flaherty is in the pen.

[Yossarian]

Who puts together the playoff roster?  Is that just Hyde and  his coaches? Or does Elias have say in that?
