Good job Alex. May as well just let Bernardino pitch the rest of the game. See how he does the second and third time through the lineup.

If the ALE is decided by 9/26, maybe both the Rays and Orioles rest their guys last week of the season so we can still finish in fourth

What is Cora supposed to do?

He has to get 7 more innings out of Llovera, Schreiber, Weiss and Wink. That's all he has. We've been criticizing the guy all year for playing guys who suck, but if he was to not pitch or play the guys who suck, he wouldn't be able to get through 6 innings.

At some point, the players need to not suck. That's the bottom line. Get the fuck in there and get it done.

The old guy behind home is really interested in viewing the game through his phone for the Urias at bat.

Wow, Yoshida decides to mix things up with a GIDP to the left side of the infield.

The quintessential Bloom pickup: a D+ player for a D- price.
I am pretty confident Bradley Blalock won't turn into anything. (Unless Brewers trade him to Rays, then all bets are off)

This is kind of like finding a penny on the ground. It's just the opportunity cost of not having a clean pants pocket and less weight you can put in the pocket.

Cora's problem is that he never puts in Someone Else. Someone Else is undefeated, he's never even given up a run.
Put in Someone Else!

Looks like we’re going for the all to record for double plays.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we get two in one of these innings.
