One of the doubles was because of the Durham outfielder laziness and Holiday just took advantage. Good heads up play.
The second walk was against their 3rd string catcher who had to pitch.
Well said! Like you, I go back to about 1970 and the # of posts someone has is irrelevant to me. The fact that so many on here think there you know what don't stink keeps me, and I'm sure others from joining in more. I know what I know about this team and I don't feel the need to prove myself. And btw the closest that I've ever lived to Baltimore is the very most western part of Illinois.
To me none of that matters.
Baker was throwing the ball well. Had spin and velocity. Go with that.
Again, goes to show how many managers don't go by feel anymore and instead just go by what the book says.
You will get used to that around here. The people saying you can't say anything about the Os unless you have played baseball for 20 years or been an Os fan for 50 years.
Bottom line is Baker, as mediocre as he is, was actually throwing the ball pretty well. His pitches has spin and velocity and he had just struck out his last batter.
To take him out for a complete and utter scrub? And I say scrub in the best way possible? Was ridiculous.
Hyde was playing text book/by the book baseball instead of actually MANAGING BASEBALL by instinct and feels.
And he got burned for it. And it has not been the first time.
