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.

Agree with those saying Santander should have hit. Mateo has proven multiple times he cannot bunt. Just a waste of an out.

I know it's not easy, but a guy with his speed and limited hitting ability should be better at bunting.

If Bautista was only available for one inning tonight, he shouldn’t have pitched the 9th.

You have him pitch the 9th because you might not get a 10th.

The O's blow the game in the 9th and folks would be screaming about him sitting in the bullpen.

Bautista has never came back out for a second inning with the game tied,  He has come back out 3 times if we were leading but Hyde has said on a number of occasions he will only bring him back if they have the lead.  

Interesting. You're right, all the times he has pitched the 9th and 10th have been on the road with us scoring in the top of the 10th. But getting the lead means a walkoff, so that means he's never pitching two at home, right? If that is the case, I'd rather have Baumann in the 9th and Bautista in the 10th. That is our best chance of getting through those two innings without a run, then we play for one in the bottom of the 10th.

And if Baumann blows it in the 9th, Felix wouldn't ever be used.  Pitching the closer in the 9th in a tie game at home, that's standard practice.

We wouldn't have gotten to extra if it wasn't for Mateo starting the rally to tie. 

Come on now, that doesn't negate Mateo being one of the very worst hitters in baseball. He shouldn't be on the roster, and he certainly shouldn't be starting, even in a platoon role.

And?

If the O's don't throw him in the 9th and they give up a run you are complaining about that.

You don't save him for an inning that might not even happen.

No I wouldn’t have been. Using your closer in the bottom of the 9th in a tie game is dumb. 
even if they do their job, you still need to score a run in a clean inning to win.

What % of innings does a team score at least 1 run?

Why did Hyde use Webb for only 3 batters and not let him finish the inning and save Cionel to use instead of Baumann? He could have let GRod pitch one more inning and use Webb for the 8th and Cano for the 9th and Bautista for the 10th.

Because it was a left hand batter, and there is no way G Rod was getting another inning

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.

      This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.

      All I know is that Suárez has earned at least one more start, after today.

      Scherzer still looks like a guy who would be a nice add to our rotation in the second half if the Rangers are sellers.

      Not happening. I don’t disagree, but Kremer will be slotted in the rotation.

      I wouldn’t either but the word here is that he’s going back to rotation . Suarez supposedly the one  to be moved to bullpen . I think they should wait and see if Irvin can rebound . If Irvin can’t match Suarez’s work, then he should be moved to bullpen

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      Yes that’s what I was asking. COC was completely off base in his comment. Judge is a great player, and apparently a nice guy. I have nothing against him, or most Yankees, for that matter, though Gil’s tats are off putting. I am expecting a bit of pro Yankee bias, but that’s ok. Also, home runs is a very glittery stat, and might sway some folks. But it should be Gunnar, at least based on the first 81.
