Saturday 6/8 Orioles @ Tampa Bay

[Greg Pappas]

Nice job Kyle!

Bradish looked pretty good to me...that seeing eye infield single was nothing...

[2022Beach]

BIG out!

So BRob is talking about positioning in the infield and it occurs to me, Norby is being guided by Gunnar, to refine DP teamwork - and yet, Gunnar is still learning himself.

Here's an update from yesterday's Field of Schemes about the Rays' progress in getting a new stadium. They've only had about ten years to try to get this right:

• The folks at No Home Run in Tampa Bay have commissioned a poll on the Rays stadium plans, and say it shows that while 51% of voters supported them initially, that figure fell to 38% after respondents heard “key financial details.” This turns out to be: that Rays owner Stu Sternberg would get stadium land at a price that appears to be below market value, that he wouldn’t pay property taxes, that the city would be on the hook for $494 million (including interest) while Sternberg would keep all revenues from the stadium including non-baseball revenue, and that he would not share profits on the sale of the team with the city, all of which are undeniably accurate — all polls are hot garbage, it’s true, but this one seems as legit as any.

It was smart of Diaz not to slide. It is what people are doing now.  It screws up the throw and is intentional. 

I was wondering why Roberts was calling it bad baserunning.

[Roy Firestone]

work another walk

[accinfo]

It was an out but it was still a good at bat.  

[Yossarian]

Did he call Harry Affeldt Jihad Asher?

[Roy Firestone]

keep the long at bats...

[SteveA]

Stowers got down the line pretty quick.   Suprisingly so.

Yep

[Malike]

Norby broke his ankles on that sword.

[O's84]

No runs, but they are driving the pitch count.  Keep this up and we'll get to him eventually.
