vs. ROYALS, 7/24

[UMDTerrapins]

I join this O's game.....already in progress. Doesn't look like I missed much.

[Brooks The Great]

Buck does this time and time again with Chen. Buck is a poor bullpen manager. Consistently bringing in relievers too late.

[calmunderfire]

Solid performance from Chen. Now it's time for the bullpen to do the same.

[bpilktree]

I did not like the location of the pitch but I guess they were trying to fool him and bust him in.

Chen over Hosmer was the right choice though his OPS vs lefties and righties is 140 point difference.

[BohKnowsBmore]

Ugh. Are you kidding me... Buck one batter too late as usual. Chen was gassed.

You realize a huge percentage of pulls are by the very nature of the action one pitch too late.

[Jonesy10]

And the trolling resumes....

I don't think it's trolling if most people are saying it...

[Norfolk orioles]

O'Day is money.

[tntoriole]

Os are gonna lose this one now. So daggone stupid it makes me just want to punch the wall. And not one member of the chicken media will confront Buck about why he lets a totally rested bullpen sit out there in the eighth inning and loses the lead.

[calmunderfire]

And the trolling resumes....

Maybe he believes what he is saying? Ever thought of that?

[RussellStSports]

O'day showing us what he can do when he is as fresh as he is.

[BohKnowsBmore]

Buck's insistence on guys pitching deep is as obsessive as his TTTP.:angryfire:

Oh my god, you're kidding right? All we heard early in thread on was that it was pathetic that our guys couldn't go deep in games.

Edit - year, not thread

[UMDTerrapins]

I'm a DOD freak.

[bpilktree]

We have to win this game. If we lose a 4 game series to this pathetic lineup then that would truly be pathetic

Yet we just took all 3 vs a Rangers team that has a good lineup.

[O's84]

we should NOT have left Chen in after the hit...Its not second guessing..its FIRST guessing...

I agree completely. I can get behind leaving him in until someone gets on, but leaving him in after that is an awful decision. To rub insult to injury, O'Day gets 2 quick outs.

[MDK02]

We need to find a way to win this.

PS; Garza pitching a gem against the Yanks.
