Don't understand how both Vargas and Castro are looking for walks when all it takes is some sort of contact to get a potential win. At least put the damn ball in play. Can Jack Morris be signed out of the booth for a couple of innings?
That last pitch by Haley missed Castro's target by at least a foot...and now the Rays are leading. He should be the last guy that should see the mound in a close game.
How many times do you see a guy come up 15 feet short on a dive in the outfield and then hit a home run the next half inning? Answer -- when we edit it that way. 3 bad pitches have cost us tonite.
1st inning -- couldn't touch him 2nd inning -- touched him, hit it to people 3rd inning -- touched him, hit it to people, they fumbled with it and we got a guy on base 4th inning -- hit it where they ain't...floodgates open
If I was a pitcher, I'd never throw Sano a fastball and I sure as heck would make sure if I did that it was nowhere near the strike zone and just pepper him (and Buxton too) with off-speed stuff. Sano has gotten better from last year about laying off of much of the breaking stuff but this last week has been a real test for him.
It's a rare night when I get to watch our boys on my big screen rather than a computer screen. And now that I can take a couple of nights off from breathing in a paper bag because of my hockey team, it'll be fun to concentrate on another winning team.
Twins had a season sweep of the O's in 2015 and I punctuated it by sending all my Orioles friends a picture of a set of brooms. They pretty much disowned me after that.
