Gunnar seems to have had a rough go of it lately.

1 for 13 with a infield hit since the big HR.

Who cares. We have a 5 run lead and Mullins cant hit anything lately. And Mckenna hit a HR earlier and stinger to LF. 

You asked why. I'm just telling you why.

It would be so awesome to get 3 more shutout innings from the bullpen and hold the Yankees to 2 runs or less in 4 straight games.

[DirtyBird]

Kimbrel should have to pitch today regardless of the lead.

How did the MFY steal Verdugo from the Red Sox?   He is an Oriole killer!!

RS traded him for three pitching prospects. He had issues with his teammates and manager in Boston.

I guess Coloumbe-Cano-Kimbrel is the plan.

Maybe, but if the lead stays 5 or expands maybe we try to get by with lesser guys in the 8th/9th?

Cionel probably pitches.

Any word on the additional tests that they were going to run on Grayson?

[Emory Eagle]

Yankees have more hairless freaks than the Harkonnens.

In the game day 3D. i wish they would make Keegan Akin a little fatter. He just looks meaner!

Well, there is a difference of opinion between you and the Orioles.

They believe in managing based on getting guys in against guys they are statistically more likely to hit.  

You obviously believe in playing guys that are hot for extremely brief periods of time.

So you are probably not going to like a lot of the decisions they make.

[Billy F-Face3]

Brandon Hyde uses alot of bullets just warming a reliever up and sitting him down too much. Buck was always against that.

[spiritof66]

Drill him.

Just kidding. Maybe.

[Tony-OH]

Nice play by Gunnar there!

Is Cano warming? (I'm not watching). I was gonna guess Kimbrel might get some low leverage work to see how he feels.
