I HATED the decision to leave Tate in at the start of the 9th.  They’d already had Lopez warming up.  Just bring him in.  I would hsve guaranteed you that he was going to have to come in mid-inning if

One more thing.  The odds of Gillaspie stranding the ghost runner were definitely not good.  You don’t play for one run in the top of the tenth if you’re bringing him in.

It was a dumb post. I know it was dumb. I’m just having a day today. Sorry.

Can’t fault Hyde for Mountcastle’s defense. With the new extra inning games, our trouble to score, we need Mountcastle’s bat. One run is to be expected. 

Sure you can. Shouldn’t have been in the game at that point. And it doesn’t matter he was up 4th the next inning. The whole idea of a defensive replacement is that to protect a lead you sacrifice offense. Happens all the time.

Sure but it’s always a judgment call as to exactly when you make the switch.

In that close of a game, against that opponent with a collar around the Orioles neck, you do NOT let Mountcastle put a glove on, unless it is a batting glove.  I thought the entire Orioles organization knew that.  Not second guessing, but first smarts.  That is when I went to bed in utter disgust.  Boner after boner this year, but the Orioles were blessed to have won the game.

When you have a one run lead and a bad defensive outfielder late in the game,  that would be the time.

How late is late?    That’s where the judgment comes in.   I’m sure somewhere there’s been a study done about when defensive replacements typically enter a game and the factors that influence that.

It was the 8th, that’s late enough.

Hyde should’ve sent Scott back out there for the 9th. 18 pitches in the 8th. Especially with the lefty Devers being the first hitter up. 
 

It’s too early in the season to be married to roles in the bullpen. At least see how Scott looks then go to Valdez if needed. 

I was also not a fan of Leblanc in a winnable game. He should be pretty much the last option.

I have many times said that a defined a closer role is ridiculous and limiting. Use your guys when you need them

Ok his in game management is more on show. 1st inning binning by your number 3 batter. Dumb. 

I’ve been having to work most of the day so I’ve been unable to follow along, and a whole lot has happened since that month, but yes, how stupid is it to sacrifice bunt at any time, much less in the first inning?

      Fire Tony Mansilino

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      This is an emotional reaction and a terrible one at that. Mansilini is not a problem on this team. And the pop fly with Jackson Holliday on 3rd, he should not have been sent home because the Feilder make a heck of a catch and they instantly threw the ball to the 3rd basemen. If Jackson would have tagged, he would have either gotten gotten himself thrown out at the plate, or been caught in a run down. Tell him to tag up would have been foolish.

      Special K is a reference to Ketamine.  You know, you could have said, Can, I did not know it was a drug reference, I can see why you would be opposed to that.  Instead you accuse me of insinuating that you have a drug habit. Do you think that giving a player the same nickname as a very common street name of a drug is a good idea? But your default reaction to any sort of criticism is to attack the person that has the audacity to question you, well that and to harp on how old you are as if that is relevant information.

      I agree with those moves, but I could also see Elias and Hyde wanting to keep Holliday on the roster for the rest of the season and the playoffs to get some experience since he's going to be a core part of the team for what will hopefully be multiple playoff runs. I'd understand that line of thinking, and would be fine with it. But I do think Holliday should be on the bench the rest of the way in that scenario.  The only move I desperately want to see is Eloy released. He's such a bad player and such an insult to good baseball. I'll be relieved when he's gone.

      I reckon it goes like this: Johnson for Urias Jackson for Westy Eloy for Mounty I think the O’s can’t chance the defensive issues from Holliday at this point. I’m still very high on him, but he got a ton of important experience and knows what to work on in the offseason.

      Even if SEA wins tonight, wouldn't the Orioles clinch tomorrow if they win and SEA loses?
