vs. BLUE JAYS, 9/23

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Davis swing is about as violent as a badminton player these days.

Bleier (I assume not available), Eades, Hess, both Scotts, Tate -- and Harvey and Wilkerson.

I’d blame Hyde, but what’s he supposed to do with this crew?

Harvey has been shutdown for the year.

Is there an Oriole pitcher other than Means (and, OK, Bundy if you want) who couldn't be inserted for Armstrong in that post?

Tie game.   Jesus this is torture.    Is there nobody else in the bullpen?   Armstrong has NOTHING tonight.   

Why not stick with Kline for two innings? We seem to have an awful lot of one-inning guys, none of whom can close.

Might raise his average.

Ken Giles? Hey, that's not fair, he's a real closer. Why didn't Toronto trade him to a contender back in July?

Can't even go through the lineup once: Castro, Fry, Givens, Kline, and, I presume, Armstrong: 5 pitchers, 5 innings. Only Phillips went two.

Honestly might prefer Wilkerson to the rest.

[Frobby]

C’mon Tate.   If we’re gonna lose, do it quickly.

If Hyde is trying to see a lot of guys pitch in the remaining games, he's doing a good job.

If Hyde is trying to win games, he's doing about the worst job of managing a bullpen that I've ever seen. A plan that has Armstrong as the guy to pitch the ninth in a close game? Come on.

But Armstrong had the 8,9,1 guys. He just sucked.

[Dreadnought]

The Wilkerson factor less important with the expanded rosters and bullpens.  It effectively removes an arm from Hyde's arsenal.  

[Frobby]

Wow, nasty pitch from Tate there for out no. 2.

[Frobby]

Hits a guy.
