Very interesting situation that just went unnoticed. Andrew Jones has to catch a ball on the track and starts screaming at Cano to come out and get the cutoff. Apparently Cano decided it would use too much energy to go out and take the cutoff. Tons of talent with a ten cent head.

First baseman should have had that ball. No need to stay that close to the bag with the bases loaded. At the very least he should have been able to knock it down and keep it to one rbi.

He had just robbed the Orioles of doubles twice today by staying tight to the base (both times holding a runner), including Markakis. I am sure he shaded a bit towards the bag because of that. There's something to be said about guarding the double down the line in that situation too.

We were SOOOO close to a sweep it's enough to make anyone massively frustrated.

Yeah but we don't know what would have happened if we had won yesterday. It's kind of like pondering after a guy gets thrown out trying to advance to the next base and then the guy after hits a homer. Not that I share the sentiment. I think I would have had a heart attack if we swept them and on the road no less.

      Fire Tony Mansilino

      This is an emotional reaction and a terrible one at that. Mansilini is not a problem on this team. And the pop fly with Jackson Holliday on 3rd, he should not have been sent home because the Feilder make a heck of a catch and they instantly threw the ball to the 3rd basemen. If Jackson would have tagged, he would have either gotten gotten himself thrown out at the plate, or been caught in a run down. Tell him to tag up would have been foolish.

      So I guess you won’t be watching, right?

      Special K is a reference to Ketamine.  You know, you could have said, Can, I did not know it was a drug reference, I can see why you would be opposed to that.  Instead you accuse me of insinuating that you have a drug habit. Do you think that giving a player the same nickname as a very common street name of a drug is a good idea? But your default reaction to any sort of criticism is to attack the person that has the audacity to question you, well that and to harp on how old you are as if that is relevant information.

      I agree with those moves, but I could also see Elias and Hyde wanting to keep Holliday on the roster for the rest of the season and the playoffs to get some experience since he's going to be a core part of the team for what will hopefully be multiple playoff runs. I'd understand that line of thinking, and would be fine with it. But I do think Holliday should be on the bench the rest of the way in that scenario.  The only move I desperately want to see is Eloy released. He's such a bad player and such an insult to good baseball. I'll be relieved when he's gone.

      I reckon it goes like this: Johnson for Urias Jackson for Westy Eloy for Mounty I think the O’s can’t chance the defensive issues from Holliday at this point. I’m still very high on him, but he got a ton of important experience and knows what to work on in the offseason.

      Even if SEA wins tonight, wouldn't the Orioles clinch tomorrow if they win and SEA loses?
