Please get the last Firestone in. 3 runs is important with our BP situation.

At least Kimbrel won't blow it

They could keep him in for another inning

It'll be interesting to see who closes. Cano or Dominguez. Now that they're up two, I think it goes back to Seranthony.

Ramon with a triple? I'm thinking the God's have turned back in our favor!

Ben said Ramon had average speed when we all thought he had below-average speed.

Nahhh.... he'll stay in

I just felt like something was going to happen tonight. Just felt it. Hope they can close.

Urias, big big triple and run!!!!!!

Need at least one more. What do you call that thing where you score a runner from third on a fly ball?

So weird that the Astros invested in their bullpen by signing Hader and Elias went on the cheap and got Kimbrel and the Astros bullpen is rock solid while the Orioles is, let's just say, not rock solid.

However, Hader started the year bad. He came around, though. The problem is that Elias thought he had enough and didn’t need anything else. 
relievers are fungible. Last years closer is this years DFA. But Elias didn’t sign anything but lottery tickets. As I mentioned already, I sure hope he changes his strategy, but I also hope he does make a rule 5 pick. After all, there’s nothing wrong with lottery tickets, unless they’re all you do.

Probably whichever the availability algorithm says is most rested?

Would have been an inside the parker for anyone faster

Red Sox are losing 9-2 in the 9th.

Hyde is so weird. In a similar situation he yanked Holliday when he was hitting well and now he leaves him in when he’s hitting poorly. lol

A unicorn.

[slakattack]

Are we SURE that Rivera is on that bench?

A 2 run lead is not safe with this bullpen. And the top of the lineup very soon up.
