Monday 6/3 @ Toronto

[dystopia]

Don't like pulling Grayson with the gassed bullpen, but that's Brandon Hyde for ya. 

Cano is being used like a rented mule.

[oriolediehard]

GRod would have got out of the inning.  Hyde has too much confidence in our bullpen.

1) Me neither.   We've been spoiled and expect greatness.   And bullpen greatness has been what got us in the playoffs pretty much every time we've made it in this millenium.

2) We clearly need another back end arm.   I think that's one of the few things on this board that EVERYBODY agrees on.

Correct on #2. 
 

In regard to #1, I just think it runs hot and cold. Sometimes the unit looks great, other times it looks average. 

[Gurgi]

Wish we had peak Jim Johnson.  Peak Britton and peak O'day.  We would be unstoppable.

Grayson is really a TOR starter, isn’t he? If not, why not?

Command.

GRod gets it done! He sidestepped some seemingly fat pitches along the way, but still.

We're probably getting blown out against a better hitting team, he left a lot of stuff in really hittable spots.

How will we get through the game without the great Vieira?

With a bullpen that's actually, fully staffed. 

[Just Regular]

I am 43.8% sure on game 4 of 30 Sigbot was just gathering data tonight how a MLB lineup performs in the aggregate against a large percentage of grooved Grayson Rodriguez fastballs.

[O's84]

No damage, but I'm not liking all these fly balls from Cano.

[justD]

Cool commercial for Corona with Pedro Pascal.

I prefer Diego Luna any day. 

[oriolediehard]

Thanks Cano!

[Malike]

Cano almost with his patented allow a run in a leverage situation.

[WillyM]

Ray Miller used to say, "If I can get 20 outs from my starting pitcher, I can manage a bullpen."

20 outs is exactly what GRod gave Hyde tonight.

Compared to Urias? Seems like a wash at minimum to me.

When you have a lead you take defense over offense

Thanks I always thought it was sand.  Rubber pellets is weird but must be doing something helpful.
