20 runs scored by the Astros is looking inevitable at this point. 

O's have allowed 11 and we still have half a game left, come on O's, you can do it! (I doubt it happens, but it would be funny).

Missing by a foot was good for Pennington as I recall.

Pennington had a way of gripping the ball I hated! Looked like he had 4 knuckles on the ball, not his fingertips. I HATED watching him pitch!

I think it’s time for a poll: “During the 2019 season, you checked out in game number which?”

 I think for me it’s today. I’m certainly going to continue to watch, because I love baseball, and bad baseball in August is much better than no baseball at all in December. 

But I don’t care anymore. Mancini is bad, fine. Brooks is terrible, so what? Peterson is still here, big deal. Davis explodes and he’s in the lineup the next day, because, it’s ok, hey it doesn’t matter. Bad playing, bad baserunning, bad fielding, and the same bad guys are in the lineup the next day, and it’s OK.Nothing matters. It’s OK we lose we lose big, Mike doesn’t care, neither do I.

God Bless Hyde.

I ain't checking out! I'll be here for the 2 live games I get to watch each week and for EVERY MASN 11:30 replay!

 

 

Now whether I last 9 innings each game is another story...

If we don't bring Wilkerson in until the 9th, they could get 20. If we bring him in sooner, we'll hold them under 20.

Why would you waste Wilkerson's arm in a game in which we have no chance to win ???

This is mop-up time, for the lesser pitchers on the roster.

I remember the 30 to 3 game, I was a Rangers Fan at the time and I remember that I didn’t enjoy the game, I thought it was embarrassing and shameful that Ron Washington refused to pull his regulars. Afterwards he made some kind of crappy comment about you play tough the whole time or some bull like that. The Astros must be laughing at the Orioles, but I’m pretty sure they also feel a little bit of petty.

That’s not good. Nine runs in three innings. Wow!

Least stress on Stevie's arm. Davis hits 90. Stevie hits 76...

 Oh I’m here for every single game, unless I am working or something significant it’s going on, but I’m doing my best not to be emotionally invested. The decisions are so bad, the play is so bad, the players are so bad, that if you care too much you’re going to go mad.

      Agreed, they were trying to preserve Burnes there. The division still hadn't been clinched, so try to win the game but within the rest management plan for your ace. Hopefully the fact they used Cano means there aren't any major concerns about his rest, but now you have to wonder.

      Yeah both Burnes and Hyde said after the game it's because Burnes is going on regular rest to start the first WC game and so he was shortened up a bit.

      You seem to pine for guys in AAA and then (with one notable exception) judge them very harshly if they don’t perform well instantly in the majors.  This is not the time to start experimenting with Young, and that’s no reflection on him at all IMO.

      I agree with the part about Elias. He needs to operate with a little more humility (regarding his bullpen approach) and pivot in the offense regarding how he puts a pen together. He needs to get away from the arrogant thinking in believing that we are always "the smartest guys in the room" and can fix other teams junk/unwanted parts. That is fine to do some time (regardless of how much you spend). But you can't construct an entire pen made of castoffs and almost no guys with elite/power/strikeout stuff. Yes it worked great with Felix, Perez/Lopez in 22', Cano in 23'. But the problem is that we are in '24. And some of those lightening in the bottle guys have reverted back to what their talent says that they are - mediocre. We have a pen full of decent/league average/mediocre arms. That's not what you really want heading into October.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      Also, since there’s another interesting discussion going on here, I think it’s time for Hyde to have an uncomfortable conversation with Adley. I hate everything I’m about to say, because Adley is my favorite Oriole. But we have to acknowledge where we are.  Over the last few months, the only sensible approach with Adley — other than the IL, which apparently he hasn’t been eligible for — has been to keep penciling him into the lineup almost everyday and hoping he figures it out. He has a track record of consistent lifelong excellence, so it’s felt like just a matter of time before he busts the slump and rights the ship.  But he hasn’t. Adley’s line over the last 3 months, almost half a season now, is so bad that it requires a double check to be sure it’s right: .186 / .274 / .278 / .552. A 61 wRC+. And -0.2 fWAR. He has been a below replacement player for 3 months now. He has been the 3rd-worst qualified hitter in baseball over that span, and the 7th-worst overall qualified player. The “qualified” part does make it a little misleading — most of the guys who’ve been this bad have long since been benched. I think you have to consider McCann, at least in Burnes’s starts. He’s been hitting a bit (114 wRC+ since the ASB), and even if he wasn’t on a bit of a heater, his normal baseline is still better than a .552 OPS. If you do continue to play him full-time, you just can’t treat him like he’s *Adley* anymore. You have to treat him like the bad backup catcher he’s been. He has to hit at the bottom of the order. The very bottom. There’s really no reasoned basis upon which you could want to have him get more ABs than guys like Mullins or Urias right now. And you have to PH for him liberally — whichever of Kjerstad/O’Hearn doesn’t start should be looking at Adley’s slot as their most likely opportunity.  As I said, I love Adley. It’s been brutal watching him. But there are 25 other guys on the team who deserve the best shot to win a ring. And that means you can’t just keep stubbornly handing all the ABs to a guy who is desperately lost, on the blind hope that he’ll suddenly find it.

      I didn’t post it in the game thread no, but I’m also not looking for credit. I thought it was a bad move at the time to remove Burnes in the first place, and choosing Cano at that point after he’d been bombed by those exact hitters, felt odd and off to me. The only real defense I could come up with was who if not Cano?  But taking Burnes out is essentially admitting that winning that night wasnt your top priority anyway, so why not also rest Cano, who you absolutely need in the playoffs and has pitched a lot?  I just didn’t get it in real time, and I still don’t.

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?
