How does Cora navigate the pitching staff thru the test of the game? Is Whitlock available? Usually he requires 2 days of rest. Richards perhaps? Ottavino must be unavailable. Richards and Whitlock should be able to navigate the two innings. I hope we don't dare Davis or Robles - this is so winnable

I think combined 4IP 4H 1ER 6K of Schreiber and Gonsalves count as "fresh air" already...apparently some people never heard of them

Oh my - Lenny is doing the Captain Obvious thing with adages ("if you don't have health, you don't have anything") ( ( ( groan.... ) ) ) Followed by "you're looking for a ground ball here" every time there is a runner on first EDIT: well he got one... He just has nothing to offer. Smart guy, but he has the personality of rock salt. Remember years back Dave Roberts tried his hand at announcing and was similarly as awful at it. It's a balance, too much personality and you sound like a maniac (see Johnny Gomes) and too little and you sound like a robot (see Dave O'Brien). When there is no Remy or Eck in the booth the tv telecast suffers.

Man Motter doing all the things, scoring the winning run, good defense, coming back from 0-2 to walk...

Arauz needs to spend the next 2-3 years in AAA without ever being called up

Must be major adjustment at standing at 1B between AAA and the MLB.

Not feeling good about seeing Robles? Why not Richards? Whitlock not available to potentially close?

Covid seems to have given us a look at what it's like to be TB fan, churning through guys that were picked up on waivers from other teams until someone sticks...

Jorge Mateo had a long, horrible at bat that still ended up with a tie game for Baltimore. Runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out. Hoping for a Yankees loss against the putrid birds.
