I think if the O’s hadn’t scored the two insurance runs in the bottom of the 8th, Hyde might have kept Givens in.    I’m sure he was thinking that the odds of winning a game when you’re up 4 in the 9th are very high, and this way he could save Givens if he needed him again today in a more high leveraged situation.    I’m fine with that logic, but I wasn’t that crazy about using Bleier there since the Yankees lineup is almost entirely right handed     I didn’t enjoy almost blowing that game, but bottom line is we won and Givens is now available today if we need him    

 

And Bleier got the rust off. And Mike Wright thinks he is Thor.

Nice thread!

I've been impressed by Sucre's mannerisms behind the plate. I like how he works with his pitchers. The winks, the glove points after a nice pitch, just a lot of leadership and energy back there.

I've got to admit....a silver lining thread on a W day doesn't make as much sense.  Haha

- One swing away from a win

- Crowd was terrific before the game started

- Game wasn't nationally televised

.... Hold on.  Wait.  I'm doing this wrong.
