2-1 so far in a really tough 2 week stretch. If we can be 15 games over .500 at the end of next week, we'll be in really good shape. This is by far the toughest part of our schedule.

What? We're 8-6 against the AL East, unless you think Baltimore doesn't count.

He saved the best slider for the last pitch.

He gone! Great series win.

lol Liam just went into his glove for some sticky stuff.

Hey, see! A slider gets him out!

Why is Hendriks back to throwing nothing but fastballs?

Liam and Yaz were adamant on getting him out on a fastball...

That pitch had some crazy late movement.

Gurriel was basically in left center field on that shift.

Pito!

This might be Yoan's worst game in a while.

He's been missing that pitch all year, especially when he's in the 2 strike approach.

Yermin is incapable of hitting a high hanging breaking pitch.

I don't think so and I bet he would be terrible. He doesn't have the lateral quickness to play a position like 2B. His few appearances at 1B this year were horrendous.

I saw who they threw out there last night and wondered why they didn't use those guys on Tuesday.

If Yermin gets to 2 strikes, you run with Tim.

Tim swinging at ball 4...

He squeezed Castro too.

When Codi came up last year, he had great mound presence and used his sinker to overpower guys. Now it looks like his sinker is a pitch-to-contact type of pitch and he's trying to get swings and misses on his change up. I think he's just gotta locate the sinker better. He's leaving it over the plate far too often. It also seems like it's nearly 1 MPH slower than it was last year.

Three at-em balls, but that'll work.

Bellino's zone has shrunk in the last inning.

Steve Stone is that you?

Rally Engel!

Feels like it always comes down to the 8th inning in games like these and we always find a way to fuck up.
