we don't deserve that win

was that out?

even if we win this in the bottom of the 9th, i'm going to feel bad about this game.

this is honestly a really bad game for Hyde. pretty inexcusable.

he's safe

that's a very stupid rule, Varsho should be on third (they called it right, i'm saying the rule is dumb).

Springer should have tagged up there

Our entire outfield stinks right now. Need a shake up.

We have gotten at least 2 extremely favorable strike/no-strike calls

big zone inside

yup, and in his contract year, not good for him

Westy will be able to get on base and get some more steals too... unless he just hits HRs every at bat

Nasty strike 3 to Varsho, love it

I can't wait for Kevin Brown to announce twice a week for the foreseeable future, "And the Orioles have extended their regular season streak of not being swept in OVER 2 YEARS in series that don't include a rainout!!!"

Everything except Kimbrel.

Kimbrel is toast… let’s trade for Miller lol

The clear choice by the numbers is to attempt the steal. There is obviously an emotional letdown when it doesn't work but decisions should not be made on emotions.

McCann?

Yeah definitely agreed it is subjective, and I wouldn't be mad about Suarez getting the game ball from yesterday. Just saying if it were me, I would reward the "above and beyond" performance of Mateo over the "expected" (in my mind) performance of Suarez.

I see where you're coming from, but my expectation is always a competent pitching start. If he has thrown 7 scoreless then I would be on board with you but I agree with OP that Mateo's sequence was more influential on the outcome.

Can’t wait for robot umps

Agree 100%, one reason we have AAA is for this kind of situation (usually with younger players but... he has an option).

i really hope he gets the win

Trade Hays now

Agree 100%, in the past I have not liked some of the 'automatic' lefty/righty matchup decisions, and was impressed at the restraint in this game. Also Cora screwed up by allowing McGuire to get ejected (I'm assuming he didn't tell everyone to be careful after he used up his bench players in the 7th)... seems like something Hyde would have been on top of.
