The Silver Lining Report: Game 24/162 (O's lose 12-2)

[interloper]

Good morning! 

• David Hess: A far cry from his last outing, so that's a big positive as far as I'm concerned. This is more like the guy we expect him to be as a 5th starter, and that's normally fine if the game doesn't get away from us.
   
• Trey Mancini: 2-4 with an RBI double to deep RCF. OPS is 1.048. He has to slow down at some point... right? Nice catch in RF foul ground.
   
• Pedro Severino: Another bomb! His third in as many games. .883 OPS in a tiny sample. 
   
• Gabriel Ynoa: Welcome back to the bigs, Ynoa. He threw a scoreless inning, which, in this game, is definitely worthy of mention.
   
• Jesus Sucre: Speaking of scoreless innings... I mean the guy was perfect out there! 65 mph!
   
• Position players pitching: Is pretty fun, don't @ me. Obviously it's not ideal but at least it's been interesting. Hyde isn't too proud to punt for the sake of bullpen health. 
   
• Hanser Alberto: Bunt base hit!
   
• Stevie Wilkerson: Didn't get a hit, but certainly saw a LOT of work in LF in this one, and handled himself well. Welcome back to the bigs.

Surely the next game will be better.

I'll have what you're having.  

Hess looked good for the first little bit.  I kinda like him.

4 runs in 5 innings is over a 7 ERA. I don't think that's good enough even for a 5th starter.

It is for the 2019 Orioles.

Of course. As far as I'm concerned, you're good enough for the 2019 Orioles.

When tonight’s game is 18-3, I’ll know who to blame.

I would accept a position on the field.  I would love to take a turn as the guy doing walk up music.

All of us will get a chance to pitch out of the bully by season’s end. Hmm, this could be worked into a promotion by the Orioles marketing department.

That should read bullpen.

Hey hipster, you gotta play what the players wanna hear, not whatever tofu-eating jam band you want.

Yeah!  I like it - like the "26th Ma - er - Person" or the guy at TX A&M who kicks off or whatever.  Make it happen!

So the BP is healthy - (sic) sliver lining?  Hyder says we don't need no help tonight.  I'm thinking that Stevie might see some action on the bump!  Nice recap!

I see that Tayler Grover is back up with Bowie.  He can set some speed records when he arrives!

I hope Grover never takes a comebacker near his mouth area.

Instead of "kids run the bases" we could have "kids pitch the 9th".  It would get rid of the pesky situation where the team has to pitch 9 innings for home games.  Make them like the road games where they only pitch 8.
