Buck was the guy who left his starters in too long. I haven't seen that much from Hyde this year, but the fact that a reliever isn't on the mound right now is Hyde's fault if we get scored upon any more.

I blame this guy:

Respect to Milone. 5 IP, and all he gave up was a solo dinger to a guy who looks like he could do that against any pitcher in baseball right now.

I won't expect him to go 6, but would be delighted if they try it, with a guy warming in the pen just in case.

Ok, why didn’t our runners try to take home on that wild pitch/passed ball?

 

it bounced away and the catcher didn’t go after it.

I was wondering that too.  It clearly was a passed ball or wild pitch, if the ball went out of play the movement to the one base would get a second base, right?  I am guessing the pitcher or third basemen grabbed it off camera?  I am work and have the sound off, so idea what the announcers said.

That wasn't the toughest play but Shaw is a GOOD 3Bman!

[scOtt]

C'mon Chris! Shut these guys up.

Last night Hyde goes to Scott a batter late when he needed a K and today let’s Milone face their hottest hitter for 3rd time. 

Oh well.  

[scOtt]

Weak. Is why I added the smilie above.

[allquixotic]

Davis hit a ball out of the infield!

Unsurprisingly, it was a Can_of_corn (or as some OH members say, CORN).

Contact by Davis!

Every throw chest high strike. And a cannon when he needs it.

No.  One base from where you were at the time of the pitch.  Whether the runner was running or not, a pitch that goes out of play is one base from where you started.  Rule.

"Quality Start" by Milone - exactly the media's definition of it; 6 IP, 3 ER.

With the way they're hacking at the ball right now, I'm not expecting us to tie it up.

With the fact he is using Eshelman here I wonder how many arms aren’t available. This isn’t really a spot I would use Eshelman.

Rio recovers and throws him out.

Eshelman could pitch 2 innings. Save some arms.

Yeah but he is more of a long man/Sp not a guy you usually pitch in a one run game in the 7th.
