[Don Walcott]

Nice job, Martin. Sure looks like we’re gonna need more innings like that tonight.

[snotboogie]

 

Weird lineup coming out of an off day. If it works, it’s great.

I was thinking the same thing.  Ya think Rocco is telling Falvine that he needs utility type players so he can mix and match lineups and give everyone rest?  

[FlauerPauer]

Be great to see Castro jack one here.

[Don Walcott]

Nice AB from Castro. Almost like he’d seen Morton pitch before.

[Diesel]

Buck GIDP. You don't see that often

[bighat]

Wow Bux, unfortunate grounder there. Just about the only way he can get doubled up.

[Don Walcott]

Crap.

[TribeAZ13]

I am getting concerned.  three in the books, and the over 6 runs per game and hitting two dingers per game is being interfered with by the Morton Fisherman.... I expect you guys to drop like 8 before its all said and done lol

Perez's cutter is just straight filth

[Don Walcott]

Perez's cutter is just straight filth

Why did he throw Robertson a fastball when he obviously couldn’t handle the cutter?

He's starting to work super slow, like molasses, his pace has just ground to a halt right now.

[FlauerPauer]

Big time double play here! C'mon, boys!

[TribeAZ13]

alrighty guys, guess I've been blackballed or something based on callingthe gentleman rude.  Headed to watch the Tribe I suppose, but the thread oddly is not as fun chatting solo..ha...good luck with the Rays, they're for real, be a good series here...Cheers, go Twinkies

Looks like they've stopped swinging at the cutter and are just taking the free balls low and inside. At this point he has to pitch to contact.

Needs to start throwing it for strikes.

[bighat]

Perez. They are not swinging at that pitch. STOP WALKING PEOPLE.

[FlauerPauer]

Even bigger double play here!

[FlauerPauer]

Rats.

[Aggies7]

What the H was that by kepler

[bighat]

Absolutely brutal. By golly Perez I'm not thrilled with what you're doing out there right now.

[notoriousgod71]

Dick seems shocked that a guy with a 4.50 career ERA is giving up runs.

[akmanak]

Perez is simply missing the inside corner. Kepler also looked pretty weak on that last play. A lot of game left.

[TribeAZ13]

Austin Meadows is an absolute future superstar...he murdered us last week.  I only have a single team mlb package, so ihave to bounce around my game and yours...the things we do for baseball smh

[snotboogie]

I really want to dislike the Rays because they play in such a horrible ball park and because they changed their names from Devil Rays (because of Jebus or something?)  Doggone it, I just can't though. Over-achieving organization.  

[Aggies7]

They didn’t give kepler an error on that? That’s laughable

[Aggies7]

Kyle Perez nibbling away

[Don Walcott]

Please throw strikes, Martin.

[Aggies7]

Just a brutal inning.

[bighat]

 

Kyle Perez nibbling away

 

He's absolutely looking like Gibson right now. Working at a snail's pace and seems to take more and more time between pitches right now. Getting into full counts, etc.

 

Borderline unwatchable.

[Aggies7]

Haven’t had to get a long relief man up in possibly all season
