Espinal has only five steals and has been caught three times (now four). Was that a good idea to send him there?
No but it is appreciated

Was it a blown hit and run? I had to attend to business, so maybe I missed something.

Never wise to run into outs down 2 runs.Espinal has only five steals and has been caught three times (now four). Was that a good idea to start him there?
Seems like maybe the O's thought he'd be running. First pitch was a fastball high out of the zone.

Little sad Palmer isn't on the call tonight. Ben touched on it, but I don't think anything pisses Palmer off more than a pitcher not breaking soon enough to cover. I can just hear him going "Whaaat are you doing?". Blue Jays pitcher doing it wouldn't bug him as much, but he'd still knock him hard.

It looked like a straight steal.

Tate is better when he pitches a lot. A clean 8th against the middle of the Jays lineup.
Let’s go Felix….next.

I'd be a lot happier if we could put a few more runs in our pocket.

Welp, here we go. Bottom of the ninth against their 4, 5 and 6 hitters.

I don't know if this is Bautista or Rutschman, but the Jays have no idea what's coming. Sequencing here is totally baffling them.

Pure filth.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

It seems he is more than just a flamethrower. Nice job Felix.

Starting to think Elias was brilliant for trading Lopez. We got a potential top of the rotation SP for a guy with no track record having a great year as closer with an elite closer waiting in the wings. That’s called dealing from your strength.

Deal from your strength in the off-season, not in a playoff race, IMO.Starting to think Elias was brilliant for trading Lopez. We got a potential top of the rotation SP for a guy with no track record having a great year as closer with an elite closer waiting in the wings. That’s called dealing from your strength.
Also seems like a pretty lofty profile for Povich. If he's a potential top of the rotation guy than so is Rom and a couple others. Still dislike the trade.
