    Larry Bird said to let 'em score 2, and then I'll come down and bury their ego with a 3. All is ok.

    Springer was also shaded way the hell into RCF because of reasons...or else he cuts that off and holds the runner at 3rd

    What's that baseball saying: luck is when preparation meets opportunity

    Strike zone is rapidly expanding. That pitch to Machete was 6 inches up and 6 inches outside

    Rays have had a lot of opportunities for luck.

    Snell looks like is pitching a lot better ("stuff"-wise) than last time he pitched ... gonna have to scratch something out and take advantage of the tight zone (hopefully stays tight)
