Questioning who started games 2 and 3 is pretty lame too. The only real debate on starters before the series was starting Gibson or Kremer in game 3, but most of us realized it didn’t really matter too much. 
 

The pitchers didn’t execute. It’s that simple. The worst decision he made was pitching Baker. That was outrageous. 

And then sticking with him through three walks; the first out wd have allowed Hyde to pull Baker after two walks. It's like Buck sticking with Scherzer through four home runs in the '22 postseason.

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.

I can dream, can't I?  The is a crappy day for me.  I'm at work surrounded by Phillies fans.  My boss came to my office to gloat.  So in my dreams Hicks gets the hit and we win game one.  You are right that there was no guarantee that the hit & run works.  

Pretty safe bet that if he swung the end result wouldn't have been worse than what happened.

I'd say the 2013 team was better than the 2012 team.

It all depends on how you define better.  They had a better run differential.  They didn’t perform as well in close games, partly because the bullpen wasn’t as good.  Next year’s team also will be hard pressed to perform as well in close games as this one did.

Jomboy did a breakdown of the key Game 1 play.    Towards the end he had a montage of only about 10 hit-and-run plays prior to full count he could find on the season, and it didn't look like a single one got the normal good outcome you hope for sometimes.

 

Good breakdown but I'm not super convinced by his "research". Did he really watch 500+ hours of our games to find all the times we sent the runner? I have to think that would be in the 100's of plays. There have definitely been times it has been successful although I can't recall top of head. He also included a bunch of foul balls which aren't really failure cases.

      O's back to a 5 man rotation

      I hope we stick with five SP and deeper bullpen. The pen could use Suarez or Irvin.

      Interesting Article About Scott Boras and Orioles

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      At the end of the day, it's Boras' job to get his players as much money as possible. That has worked out in some cases, and not with others.  Hopefully the "winning" environment here will encourage players like Gunnar and Adley to sign extensions. I'd love to hear that the Orioles signed Henderson to a 10-year contract because he is a franchise guy. Adley is a catcher so that scares me more, but I'd be willing to extend him until he's 31 or 32. Gunnar though is the key and I think the Orioles know this. He's one of the best players in the league, he's fast, athletic, and barring a serious injury, there is no doubt he's going to be one of the best players in the league for a long, long time.

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      Baseball is a funny game sometimes, but you're right, we are going to battle with starters that were not even projected for the opening day rotation. Yet, here we are. Obviously anytime we have a series against the Yankees it's big, but even if we lose 2 of 3, we'd only be 2.5 games back.  The loss of Coulombe is huge and that bothers me more than the starters honestly. Perez, Akin, Baker and Tate filling key roles if Cano or Kimbrel is not available does not make me feel great. Baker threw the ball in his debut back and has been throwing well in AAA for a bit, so maybe he's a little bit of lightning in a bottle that this team needs in the pen.

      Count me in, but the Orioles have never really subscribed to that theory of splitting time like that. They really put an emphasis on everyday players and bench players with everyday players rarely getting days off.

      I agree with this. I just feel like he hasn't been given a fair shot in two seasons up here. I can't see any reason that he can't start 4 games out of 7. Give Hays, Mullins, Santander and Cowser each one day off a week and let him start.

      O's back to a 5 man rotation

      By wildcard · Posted

      This is probably obvious to many but I have not seen it talked about. With Bradish going on the IL and the recall of reliever Vespi they are now in a 5 man rotation.    Burnes, GRod, Irvin, Suarez and Povich.    And an 8 man pen. It was hoped that Kremer would join the rotation but his short 3 2/3 innings in Sunday's start at Norfolk probably means he gets another start in Norfolk on Friday.    If he does well at that point he could join the O's on June 26th.    Until then the O's are likely to continue with a 5 man rotation IMO.   Even if Kremer joins the rotation in June the O's probably go back to a 5 man rotation in July because of the number of off days in July.
