Friday 6/14 vs Philadelphia

I’m not a fan of Akin, but boy was he nails tonight. Hats off to him.

[Gurgi]

Gunnar might be a keeper.  Not sure but he might be.

[Spy Fox]

I know it’s the heart of the order, but I might prefer using Cano here and saving the higher K pitcher for the ghost runner situation. 

Though Kimbrel just got 2 outs on 2 pitches while I was typing that so maybe he even goes back out. 

[Aristotelian]

How do you get a pitch clock violation on the first pitch?

[baltfan]

Helluva hit by Bohm

It's pretty standard to bring in your closer in the top of the 9th in a tied home game.   You'll never have a save situation.

And they had RLRR due.

 

I'd rather have a strikeout pitcher for the 10th. Robot managing isn't always the smart thing to do.

[LookitsPuck]

Really gotta go knuckle curve 0-2 on Bohm.

It would be pretty deflating if the Phillies scored here.

Phillies ain't scoring jack! We are going to win this game!

[eddie83]

Throw him out. 

[SteveA]

Gotta hand it to the plate ump, he has been consistent.

[justD]

Dont do it

[Morgan423]

Hit didn't hurt.  Let's walk these guys off the field. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

At least this umpire is consistent with the outside strike.

[O's84]

Let's walk this off, no extras.

[spleen1015]

It's a strike on Gameday.
