  1. Just now, allquixotic said:

    We may still lose, but not in regulation. Finding a decent pitcher out of the pen is going to be even harder in extras. We should either score 2+ runs in the 10th inning or just roll over and lose in bot 10 instead of dragging this out. IMO.

    Agree unless Hyde is trying to send Elias a message - he may be. 

  2. Next 28 games are all about winning the division vs getting in the playoffs.   If the Os “only” make the playoffs and Tampa wins the AL East are you disappointed, concerned, neutral (not really expected) or happy (need that edge/chip from lower expectations)?
     

  3. Three questions/issues.  1) Can the high leverage /late inning outs obtained by Felix be replaced /obtained by others?  2) Can the starters pitch deeper to shorten the reliance on the BP? 3) Does the injury hurt the O's confidence, chemistry?   

    Players are close and it seems the "loss" of FB  feels more like a huge blow (which it is) but they have and can overcome this.   Also he has been built up into the "Mountain" late inning dramatics at home.  He is not Mariano Rivera. 

    Felix does not and should not define this team.  Other players need to step up, injuries are part of sports - Trent Dilfer and Joe Flacco are SB QB's - anything can happen.   Dealing with and overcoming this will define the 2023 season/players on the team. 

    Where is the Animal House speech - Hyder needs to play in the locker room.
