Damnit we walk the leadoff batter in the 8th and 9th more than any team. Bradford sucks!!!!!!
Bradford are you kidding me, walking a guy after we just took the lead...
about to give the lead back up if he doesn't get JJ in or somebody good.
OK Rshackelford say something positive about Bradford now. Just take your time like Bradford did going to first.
Bradford an Walker to any MLB team for a bag of balls and some pine tar
Hernandez needs to be designated for assignment.
Why is bradford pitching to a lefty????!?!?!
his ERA is a big lie, he gives up way more runs than that, just most of the time they are others. Both him and Walker have been huge dissapointments, we need to unload them ASAP.
What is trembley thinking right now? I don't get it...we are giving this game up right now.

I'm glad I'm not in a foxhole with you guys... the smell of wet diapers, uh, I mean pants, would be overwhelming...

Bradford & Walker blow... yet they're making far more than the rest of the BP combined. Not to mention Baez.

Bradford's ERA is deflated because of his typical mop up, 1 out specialist duties.

Bradford has allowed three non intentional walks in 19 innings. Has nine strikeouts, and a GB/FB ratio of 4.6. He isn't pitching that poorly. The argument that relievers shouldn't make as much money as he and Walker do is a much more salient one.

Like I said, mop up duty. He hasn't done great at all in key situations, well the few key situation's he's been in.

Also, important to leave out the 22 hits and only 9 k's. He's just been bad, no other way to put it. I don't remember seeing him one time this year where it's been a simple "boring" inning, so to speak.

    • It’s a question that can’t be answered definitively.   When will Baumann pitch again?  Maybe today.  Maybe Tuesday.   How many innings will Kremer pitch today?   How many runs ahead or behind will the Orioles be ahead in the 6th inning?   Does Hyde plan to use Suarez as the first reliever if Kremer gets tired or knocked out before completing 6?    I maybe Kremer goes 7 and Akin and Webb are used in the 8th and 9th. It’s a question that can’t be answered.  Probably today but maybe not.
    • Closers, generally come in clean in the ninth...no one on base. Do you really need K's? You need some who throws strikes, keeps the ball in the park IMO. You also need someone who can adjust on the mound if he is having trouble finding the plate. Many of you get all hot for the guy that can throw upper 90's and K's 1+ / inning. Kimbrel makes me nervous Don Stanhouse nervous...at least he had a big K against Elly last night. Oh, when do I want a K pitcher or relief pitcher?? When a guy comes in in a close game, inherited baserunners, runner on third, less than two outs (7-9 innings), good hitters up. Does anyone bring a "Closer" in in the 7th in those situations? Maybe the 8th with one out or two because of the match up. We (baseball) have stereotyped "closers".... IMO, you need a guy with balls, and guys who opponents have trouble barreling up on, have the ability to pitch around difficult hitters. 
    • The ball looked real good coming out of his hand.  It had to be said.  😁
    • He hasn’t, but since he threw 5.2 last Sunday, I wouldn’t have expected to see him until Friday.  My guess is they want to use him for long relief or a low leverage situation for the time being, and one hasn’t arisen the last two nights.  
    • It’s not a dumb question. People should be able to rely on this community for information. Sometimes life happens and you can’t scour X/twitter.
