Francouer throws out Granderson with a rifle arm !!!

Too bad, Granderson.

That was a perfect throw. (Thanks for turning me on to this game. I was hungry for more baseball after the last two days of conquest!)

HA HA. Sure. :) You can always count on ONFNY (Oriole Nerd From New York) to dig up some baseball, whether it's hating on the Yankees and the Red Sox, or scouting our AAA-Tides. :o

Johnny Gomes, who made a game-saving catch in the bottom of the 10th inning, just hit a home run in the top of the 12 to give the Athletics the lead over his former team, 4-3.

I'm watching. I'm just young enough to not hate the A's since I was born in '75 so I root for them in the west. Definitely against the east.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      I think there's something else beyond the injuries,  but a person would have to be naive to think this lineup wouldn't be drastically different with even 2 of the RH hitters on that list.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      Also, our Bad Manager had Mullins bunt with men on 1st and 2nd and nobody out precisely…two games ago, on Sunday in Detroit. Fouled off the first two, then flied out rather meekly to center field (advancing the runners anyway on nice tag-ups by Soto and Henderson). But then Santander popped up and Kjerstad hit a weak tapper back to the pitcher, so we went empty. Gave up an out with one of our hottest hitters — just to set up two dudes who couldn’t come through. I didn’t see Hyde getting too much praise as a Good Manager for doing that on Sunday. If he’d gone right back to the same strategy that failed a couple days ago in the exact same situation, then we’d be telling him “job well done” this time? Only if it worked, I’d wager…

      Different era obviously, but Rochester AAA manager Earl Weaver replaced O's skipper Hank Bauer in '68, just a year and a half after Bauer won the World Series.

      A good manager would have instructed him to bunt Well not for nothing, but I would like 100 dollars for every time a Good Manager did not bunt with first and second with nobody out. Now if the SF pitcher was LH, I would be onboard. If they were down by 1, maybe. Why would you not let Mullins hit there?

      Putting aside the issue of “not counting” stats that don’t fit the argument, I’m curious who he would have had hit there. What were the other options? Eloy Jimenez (1 for his last 23) Coby Mayo (3 for 37 with 21 Ks as a pro) Jackson Holliday (0 for last 22 vs LHPs  with 12 Ks) Livan Soto (~.600 career AAA OPS vs LHPs)   Not saying Slater was some slam dunk pick, but I honestly don’t really even understand how folks can criticize Hyde for those types of decisions anymore. Every lever he has available to pull is clearly marked *WRONG* in flashing red lights.

      Is it really the injuries?

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      People born in 1984 are 40 now and have never seen the O’s get past the ALCS
