Off plate again. 

Yep. Shoulda walked. Ump is bad.

I thought the Jays/Rays were going to extras.  Apparently the double play got challenged and overturned.

Yeah. Clearly safe. They didn’t have to go after hitter. Weaker hitter on deck.

Been a strike all night. Bad one, too.

[ONUOsFan]

Freaking Rays, man. They just won’t die.

Historically its where umps usually miss. Off plate away.

One bad swing after another

All I can see is that the AL is anybody's to win in the playoffs. These teams are all flawed... All of them. Whoever emerges from the AL will be smoked in the WS.

I mean I kind of agree.  Atlanta for sure and LA to a little lesser extent look like the best teams in baseball talent wise, and it really isn't close. 

Atlanta to me looks like a lock to win it all although baseball is kind of like hockey in the sense that if you get hot?  Sometimes lesser talent wins.

Doesn't really happen in the NBA or the NFL.

At least their pen is on fumes.

Hey, listen to Palmer talking about why Cleveland should try to win games. Shocking that an MLB team won't just pack it in. Shocking.

...somehow Hicks shrunk the plate...

Even Atlanta has pitching injuries now.

I am worried about the BP at the end of the game!

I am worried about the bats continuing to fail to produce.

You have to expect the Rays to win at least at a 600 clip the rest of the way.  They are just a good team.

 

O's need to win at that rate as well. 

I don't see TB losing more than two games the rest of the way. Orioles will have to win 4-5 games to win the division. They have to win at least one today or tomorrow, win both against Was, and split with the Red Sox.

True.  But man they are just so loaded.

This is the loss that could eliminate Toronto from the playoffs. Why they pitched to Lowe, one of their top 2 hitters, is beyond understanding.
