Eh not really excellent... 4ER in 6.1 innings isn't good at all... He looked good but he the Ortiz homer, and this last inning really hurt him. His stuff did look good, and he deserved better, but these last 2 runs were self inflicted and in the end he gave up 4 runs in 6.1 innings which is pretty bad. That lead off walk REALLY hurts. Hopefully he continues pitching well.

Against a good lineup, with a bit of questionable defense behind him... I consider that a pretty solid outing for any guy who isn't expected to be a #1 or #2 pitcher.

Davis's .350+ OBP has been better than mediocre.

Edit - make that .375 coming into today.

Yeah but he's slugging like .386. IIRC Roch said coming into this game he was 5 for his last 33. He hit that one liner today but other than that he's been pretty non existent and striking out way too often lately.

It would of been interesting to see if we would of turned two on the Napoli play in the first but we will never know.

After Wieters, we have our 7-8-9 hitters coming up.

They've been big lately.

Yep they have. Hopefully they got another one in them today.

It's unlikely with Uehara coming into the game, but I would never quit on the Orioles with only a 2-run deficit.

I was down on him coming into the season. He did look really good today but I just can't describe an outing where he gave up 4ER in 6.1 innings as excellent. I do hope he continues to pitch the same way he has the last 2 starts though.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      I have to think something is going on behind the scenes. They look like they have just quit. Hyperbole, I know, but I wonder if there is anxiety over new ownership wanting their own people in the FO? Before you all tear me apart, IT’S JUST AN OBSERVATION!

      Some don’t like this quote from Hyde but this kind of goes back to what the hitting coaches are saying. The coaches (if we are to believe them) are preparing these guys but once they get in the box, things are changing. This is all mental with these guys. It is time for them to relax and start having fun again. They need a players only team meeting and get themselves loosened up.

      I doubt it is normal, though I’m sure that well more than half the pitchers who pitch for any particular team were not drafted by that team.   Teams use so many pitchers these days, and there are so many pitchers who cycle around the league off the waiver wire.

      Couple of things about what Mike said: 1).   Grayson will not start during the regular season.    Time has run out to build him up.   That means Burnes, Eflin. Suarez, Kremer and Povich the rest of the way if they can stay healthy.   Maybe Grayson as an opener or a reliever in the playoffs. Coulombe  as early as Friday.  I am guess either Smith or Kimbrel go. Westy and  Urias  on rehab  in the next few days.   Getting these guys back could be a  big mental boost for the team.  What level of performance they will be able to produce coming off a layoff is another things.      I would think Mayo and Holliday are optioned. Mountcastle is swinging but his wrist is still sore.   Where that goes in anyones guess.   If he comes back Jimenez will not be needed. 2).  When Mike says this has been a winning team for that last two years and he believes they can get back to that,  to me he is not just talking about the team.     He is talking about himself.    This is the first time Mike has experienced things not going the way he planned to this degree.    Quite frankly his looks a little shell shocked.    The pitching having troubles with injuries is reality to him.  Pitchers get hurt.    But his offense going from 5 runs per game in the first half  to almost zero is shocking to him.   He did not see that coming.  Adley, and O'Hearn were supposed to step up when needed.   Instead they took a step back.  None of Holliday, Mayo, or Kjerstad being able to help in the 2nd half was not the way this was planned.    Here is hoping the Westy, Urias and Kjerstad can help real soon.

      This board is smart enough to realize that the grass isn't always greener. The only way I see Hyde on the hot seat is if we miss the playoffs completely, which still feels very unlikely. Even then, I doubt he'd be fired during the offseason, but maybe. But then what? I don't think you give Buck Britton a shot at this roster. He's doing his thing and doing it well at AAA helping to develop guys. Could bring back Buck Showalter or Joe Girrardi, those sound like fun names. Or better yet, I bet everyone here with a torch and a pitchfork has their own little crystal ball with a short list of candidates ready to catch lightning in a bottle.

      The 4-run deficit was surmountable if we had more than one player who can hit the damn ball.   Kimbrel giving up six runs in the 9th may turn out to be a blessing.
