PrintTampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles, Sep 16, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
It's Rays vs. Orioles. The fate of WESTERN CIVILIZATION depends on the outcome of these games!
Or not.
This is likely Chris Tillman's last start of the year, so let's all enjoy it. Let's hope he echoes his swee-hee-heet start last week at the storied park with the storied team and that one storied guy who got more hits than any other storied player ever storied. Likewise, let's hope SHJ and the gang keep up their recent offensive successes and rip Andy Sonnanstine even worse than he was ripped last week (8 runs in 2-2/3 Innings).
Go O's!

It’s been a decent game so far.
"Roberts is unconscious!!!!" - Jim Hunter, after Brian Roberts hits his second HR of the night. 9/21/09
yup
lots of pop ups and easy fly balls, but a few ground balls also.
Oh and Wieters threw out Crawford stealing. It was great.
Earl Weaver would’ve kissed Adam Dunn on the mouth in public. - SC 08/11/08
Awesome
He’s starting to look pretty good throwing the ball (though I have no idea if his CS rate has actually improved).
I’d like to see Tillman get some K…
He's at 26% thrown out for the year
I’m pretty sure that’s gone up from how he started – though the league average is like 29%.

I don't remember any Ks
He’s been doing great with the fly ball outs. 9 or something.
Fly ball pitchers have worried me since Ponson, but the wind is coming straight in from center field, which I guess makes it safer.

Yeah but
he was good last year. He’s pitching to contact and he has one of the best defenses behind him
he was really only good in the first half of last year
or that’s what Joe Angel told me. I haven’t looked it up.

Crawford shouts at Burrell in clubhouse
BALTIMORE — Tampa Bay outfielder Carl Crawford angrily shouted at teammate Pat Burrell in the clubhouse before Wednesday night’s game against Baltimore, the latest breakdown in a lost season for the Rays.
It was not clear what caused the dispute shortly before the Rays took the field for pregame stretching.
Crawford, the MVP of this year’s All-Star Game, repeatedly yelled across the clubhouse at the Rays’ designated hitter. Burrell did not respond.

I'm just tired of Gary and Jim trying to find the origin of Tack On Runs
It’s probably just something that a sportswriter for some local paper wrote once, trying to be creative. Then a broadcaster read the paper and stole the line to use in a broadcast.

I think he's perplexed by this umpire's strike call.
It’s pretty subtle and he missed one a minute ago too.

uh oh don’t be hurt, we don’t have any more outfielders.

I turned it on just in time to see him give up the bomb.
But apparently he looked great other than that. Using all his pitches I gather.
the ball was flying through the air as I turned it on

a little weird actually
There were NO fans in left field and it just looked like a fly ball, but it went out. But normally you hear an explosion of cheering and it was crickets.
Felix Pie was adorable though dancing at home plate waiting for him. According to Gary he was imitating the way Matt runs the bases.
