vs. RAYS, 5/07

[BohKnowsBmore]

Completely lucked his way out of that.

...? He caught the ball himself on a pitch he threw. That's... like... the opposite of luck.

[Il BuonO]

Fair enough. At least Tommy is throwing his whole kitchen sink.

I just hope he doesn't become cutter happy like when he was a starter.

[notyourbuddy]

Another fluke save for Hunter. Its bringing back so many bad Sherrill, Gregg, JJ memories.

[Catch 8]

Caught it like a cheeseburger.

[weams]

Good gravy does Tommy know how to make things interesting. But, just keep winning.

Jeep Winning.

Im sorry. I don't care that he escaped again. There was NO REASON not to let

Britton finish this game.

This is maddening.

[SteveA]

WTF. I can't watch this guy every night. He blew this game tonight. I don't care if

its his first, He is terrible.

Yeah, it's a darn shame we lost. Oh well, maybe we'll get them tomorrow.

[ExileAngelos]

Hunter is not long for this gig....

[El Gordo]

I've seen enough of Hunter as closer. Is there a good reason why Britton shouldn't get a shot at this?

Maybe because Hunter is 10 out of 11 in saves?

Called it. :boogie:

We should have re-signed FRod. It will be hilarious that we had BOTH of the dominant closers in both leagues, Koji and FRod, but not good enough for us.

[foxfield]

Show of hands: how many people feel comfortable using Hunter as a set-in-stone "closer" during a playoff run?

Match-ups, Buck. Why does very other relief inning besides the 9th warrant match-ups?

Hunter is NOT a closer. Sorry.

Bottom of line up this should be a easy save but with Hunter it wont.

Something really bad is gonna happen right here.

The Orioles need to have a shutdown closer. This nail buiting thing is too damn much. JJ was bad enough but Hunter is really no better. He allows too many base runners.

Yup this is over Hunter sucks

#@$!#@%$$%^

WTF. I can't watch this guy every night. He blew this game tonight. I don't care if

its his first, He is terrible.

I hate when I have those premonitions. I just had a feeling Hunter would blow this game.

It's ok to come out of the hole now boys. Your First Place Baltimore Orioles have won again. Thanks for the confidence!!!!

[weams]

Caught it like a cheeseburger.

Despite all his rage, Grant Balfour doesn't get to pitch against us.

[BohKnowsBmore]

Im sorry. I don't care that he escaped again. There was NO REASON not to let

Britton finish this game.

I don't disagree that Britton should have finished it. But to say "no reason" considering Hunter's past success against righties and the lineup he was slated to face does a disservice to the discussion.

[tntoriole]

Never had a doubt. Lol

Ok, now that we won, I really hope that we make a change here sooner rather than later. He isn't a closer.

He is in the mold of Don Stanhouse.
