:rofl: Anyone notice that the typical MASN matchup commercial (our hitting vs their pitching, or our pitching vs their hitting) showed two Orioles players this time, finally? With no mention of an Astros player except a shot of Hardy going deep against 100 year old Clemens?

Maybe it's because the Astros suck, or maybe it's because MASN got enough criticism about the commercials that they decided to make them 100% Orioles propaganda with no mention of powerful / effective opposing players.

We have 7 ABs with 2 men on tonight, with 1 hit to show for. Terrible situational hitting. Minimizing every opportunity.

Situational Hitting is a myth of a stat. Our team, ANY team, hits their BA when they hit with the fabled RISP. Actually we and every other team hit MUCH better with RISP! The PITCHER is in trouble! NOT the hitter.

If we had only squeezed out another run in two of the many opportunities we've had, it'd be 7-5 and I'd be a lot more optimistic about an O's walk-off or extra-inning win (Davis still available to close).

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
