Law questioned sending him out in the 9th with a four run lead. I question it too. They are managing his innings and giving him extra rest, why have him throw his career high number of pitches?

Bah, letting him get a complete game 1 hitter also has a psychological effect.. he earned it.  Pulling him after 8 wouldn't bestow the same confidence.

Bundy - unbelievable. Deserved a no hitter.

Manny + Schoop. Lock the future up. 

Manny, Schoop, Bundy, Hays, Mullins, Mancini, perhaps Beckham

Davis and Jones hanging around

If Gausman starts pulling his weight... yeah, future wouldn't look too bad.

Extra days rest. They are going to keep doing it. 

My point is how he says Buck ran him into ground last year and this year. If so they how in the hell has he been so good last month? 

I think Buck has been too slow with the hook for Bundy all year. From pitch 101 onward (prior to tonight), batters are hitting .381 with a .409 OBP and .762 SLG in 22 plate appearances. It was a 4-0 game and the pen wasn't gassed. He didn't need to be out there.

That's what I've been saying too, add Santander, Harvey not far behind Perhaps, Long, DJ, RM, Sisco we have a lot of reason for optimism with this core.

But tonight he never labored. Never. I agree earlier in year. I mean not all nights are the same  have to wonder if his grandmothers death played a role as well. 

Law is smart but also a know it all.

I mean he was on tonight. I think pitch count aside Buck pushed him harder in May then tonight. Buck said in postgame he is going to stay on extra rest. He never labored. 

I definitely agree that the times in May were more egregious than tonight, as he was laboring more then. But I would have pulled him after 8 and certainly after the HBP. He is too important to the future to try to reach back for something extra on his 110th+ pitch in a 4-0 game in August.

Did anyone else notice this about Manny's ABs?

Comes up with 2-out and Beckham on 1st. Beckham gets thrown out trying to steal. Manny leads off next inning with a home run.

Next time, comes up with 2 out and Gentry on 1st. Gentry gets thrown out trying to steal. Manny leads off next inning with a home run.

I doubt I've ever seen that before.

I only saw the last inning, but am elated right now.  Did he just have all of his pitches and perfect location all night?  How much did the D help him out?  What an amazing stat-line.  Wish I'd been able to watch it!

Yes, he was dominant.   Very few hard hit balls, that one to Schoop in the shift late in the game might have been the hardest all day.

He didn't rely on the defense much.  A few decent plays, no real spectacular plays.   Beckham made two errors behind him actually.

The single was a bunt back to Bundy that he couldn't handle.

Best pitched game by an Oriole in many years.

We were talking about this on twitter during the game. depending on the count and as long as 2 outs I have no problem with giving Manny essentially 4 AB's. Seemed to work out tonight with 2 HR!

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
