Game 28 Thread: May 4 @ Rays, 4p

Death Star.

Tropicana Field roof.

Alex Wood (1-2, 4.82) vs. Drew Smyly (1-3, 2.60).

In the spirit of Star Wars Day, we bring you a comparison of two structures. One of these places is the soulless home of an evil empire — and it also holds Trayce Thompson's home run ball from yesterday's game.

That's the GT idea I was going with, but was too slow.

@Mr F: thanks, we're using that vine tomorrow morning (or possibly tonight, depending on the game's outcome)

Steve Sax said...

Top 2, RISP, Grandal up, and he flies out to short to end the inning. Weak sauce.

1-0 TB through 1.5

MR.F said...

No prob, Sax

Steve Sax said...

how did we score that run in T4?

MR.F said...

Apparently twas a Grandal single

Steve Sax said...

i don't know about you guys, but it's really hard for me to see the play-by-play in the new MLB.tv format.

Steve Sax said...

Got it, Grandal singled to score Kendrick, however Grandal was thrown out at second.

1-1 tie, mid-4

Steve Sax said...

TB> Souze, Dickerson, Jennings: combined 0-for-55 last ABS

Steve Sax said...

that's worse than even howie kendrick

Steve Sax said...

and of course, Souza goes yard.

Alex Wood sucks so bad

Steve Sax said...

I have to have mlb.tv playing in one window and mlb gameday playing in another window, just to know what the hell is going on here

Steve Sax said...

coming up on SNLA: Carl Crawford live!

(hope he doesn't break a bone during the in-game interview)

Steve Sax said...

2-1 TB through 4

Steve Sax said...

That TB pitcher is pitching very smyly today.

Steve Sax said...

Alex Wood is bad. but at least he hasn't thrown a lot of pitches

MR.F said...

Thanks for the commentary Sax. I'm at work so only paying passing attention to the game

spank said...

Thank you,Gnomes,for sweaty dirty Daisy.

MR.F said...

Yay we scored on a wild pitch

Steve Sax said...

Grandal, what the fuck? How many RISP are you going to leave?!

2-2

spank said...

Alex Wood Sucks

Steve Sax said...

And, the Alex Wood wheels fall off the wagon in the bottom of the sixth. Three-run Steve Pearce HR makes it 5-2 TB

Steve Sax said...

@Mr F 5:38p: Alex Wood is also only paying passing attention to this game. That's the issue

MR.F said...

Well bummer

Steve Sax said...

8-2 TB but we've got rancho with none out, top 8. Romero is a mess

Steve Sax said...

8-3, Utley gets a bases-loaded walk

Steve Sax said...

We narrow the gap but bring in Hatcher. Oh well

Steve Sax said...

well that was shitty. 8-5 TB, final

WHY NO BASEBALL TODAY
