BUCK MARTINEZ: "Pearce got to the ball early, the wind blew it back, and the out was recorded. Hence, Encarnacion was robbed of a chance for an extra swing of the bat."

Today is one of those days in which everything seems to be going the Orioles' way. ;)

Seriously. If not for the Os ridiculous luck, the Blue Jays would probably be leading by a bajillion runs.

How generous to make a donation for every Orioles walk...they probably thought about making a donation for every time an Oriole pitcher threw a no-hitter too, but thought they ought to go with something that doesn't happen quite as often to avoid it getting too expensive...

I'm just disappointed that it's only $50 per walk. That's nothing, even over the course of a season.

I remember when they did it for saves. I believe that was back in the Chris Ray days.

      The great news is no one running the Orioles cares what you or I think should be scrutinized or not.  I choose to be happy with the winning results and happy we have the Reigning Manager and Executive of the Year.   You can continue to take shots at Hyde and Elias all you want.  You will be on ignore from me going forward.

      Super scary.  A 17y/o in Gainesville FL lost his life last December from being hit with a swing. A teammate was swinging inside a batting cage and the bat caught him.  I think folks that have been around the game a lot have seen and heard of similar situations and understand the gravity.  I heard it on the radio and my heart sunk.  I really hope Mateo is OK and it doesn’t turn out to be serious.

      Mounty has gotten more patient, but he doesn't seem like the kind of hitter that changes his approach much depending on the situation.  But it's hard to question anyone's approach the day after hitting two homers.

      His xSLG is 70 points higher than it actually is, his OBP is still .330, and Fangraphs has him as the 2nd most valuable OF’er defensively in the MLB.  Unlike Mullins, his expected stats are still strong and show that he’s just been hitting into bad luck.

      Kind of a poor reason, because in making it, you’re suggesting that as long as we are winning, no decision needs to be scrutinized, which is obviously not true. And it also ignores defending Hyde’s decision to leave Tate in.  I don’t mind letting Tate start the inning, because he started the inning at only 8 pitches. But I do mind not yanking him immediately after letting the first guy on.  in twelve pitches he gave up single single double. I do not remember whether Coloumbe was warmed up at the beginning of the end or didn’t get up until after the start of the inning, but he should have been ready. If he wasn’t, that’s another mistake, even in foresight. The very least you have to do is have your next reliever ready, especially if you know you’re going to use him anyway. Only once has Tate gone more than one inning and only once did he throw more than 16 pitches.   Hydes use of the bullpen is frequently questionable not just after the fact but before the fact.  I appreciate the fact he didn’t want to use Vieira, and having him isn’t Hyde’s choice, as far as we know. But he still should have gone to Coloumbe sooner.  It’s really difficult to point to a single thing that causes a lost game, but this is arguably one of them. hopefully tomorrow we will have fresh shiny faces in the pen because we’re going to need them.
