Yes!  Way to keep it under control.  HBP on a 1-2 count was pretty bad, but Flaherty escapes without allowing a run.

Is that Sidney Ponson as your avatar? Unexpected!

How Mateo is hitting .216 is baffling to me.

Flaherty was unscathed from a very good team.

He walked off the mound mouthing "I ain't no punk bitch".

The next time he and Ben are together and Gunnar does something good and Ben says "Show them who you are kid!" and Kevin says I'll tell you who he is, ROOKIE OF THE  YEAR!! I'm sending hate mail.

It is my mission to convert everyone on this board.

Need a new pitcher for the 8th to give Cano the 9th.  Flaherty is sweating it. Don't push him too hard or Stros will hit off him.

Hopefully the lead is big enough that we don't need to use Cano for a 3rd consecutive day, which we haven't done all year.

Flaherty another inning, then maybe Webb in the 9th, and we can have Cano available tomorrow.

Boy no one thinks Gunnar can hit lefties.

These aren’t even playoff games yet. I’m going to need some major doobie to get through the playoffs!

In some ways, a pennant race is more stressful than the playoffs itself. At least this year. If the O's win the #1 seed, last to first, I consider the rest to be gravy, this year.

It was my reverse jinx which worked.

Flaherty is capable to do 3 innings!

[Malike]

Ball 4 is strike 2.

[baltfan]

Whenever Gunnar tries to take for a walk they call a strike. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Yep shoulda been a walk.
