Wow! I would have thought Horst would be the first to go since he hasn't been seen in at least a week.

Many pickoff attempts by Leake to try to keep Granderson close.

I'm going to guess Fisher will go down for Sunday's starting pitcher and then Horst will go down when Chapman is deemed ready. No reason to send down a bullpen arm when you know you are going to have a different starter on Sunday.

2-2 count on Granderson.

Good point. This should mean that Bailey will go this weekend in Baltimore.

Could be Bailey or Dontrelle. I will be there so I am pumped to see either of them over Wood. It would be awesome to be at Dontrelle's first start as a Red. He did dominate over seven innings in his last start with Louisville.

If Bailey is ready, he is the guy. Willis isn't jumping him.

The "ace" in trouble. Granderson singles on the 9th pitch of the at-bat. He's just lucky it's Swisher coming to the plate first and third one out instead of Tex.

I would agree. Bailey went more than 100 pitches last night, so the stamina is probably there.

Called Ball 1 and Called Strike 2 appear to be the exact same pitch on gamecast. This umpire is struggling with his consistency.

Awesome, I should be there too with a couple buddies. I think we are just going to buy the cheapest seats and move down, apparently it is easy to do at Camden. Any idea where you will be sitting?
