That’s an idiotic post that is blatantly in violation of the board rules. If you want to see dumb, then go look in the mirror. The team has the 29th smallest payroll in MLB and is currently 15 games over .500 in mid June.

Ultimately I think Orioles brass believes pen fatigue comes from pitching longer outings. They avoid back to back to back as well.

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

Way to own it.

Main thing I didn't like was pulling Baker after only two outs and then going to Voth up only three and a man on base. I guess they really, really dislike extending their relievers and Voth was the only other RHP available aside from Baumann. Fortunately he didn't do too much damage and Cionel saved the day.

So, O’Hearn in to first, Urias to third and Adley behind the plate. 
 

Did he not pinch-hit for Mateo there because he will have to pinch-hit for the pitcher later in the game?

Was thinking the same thing.   That would have been a good spot for Frazier.  Two outs and a runner in scoring position.   Still would have had Lester to PH in the pitcher spot later (and McKenna if the pitcher spot came up in extra innings).

On the radio they said McCann may have hurt himself running to f irst ,so he had no choice

Probably will have to bring up a catcher.

Wishing him a speedy recovery and all but that doesn’t excuse why they subbed Mateo in the defensive half of the inning but still let him hit. I realize that they burned the DH when McCann came out of the game but if there was ever a time to pinch-hit for Mateo it would have been right there.

Not disputing hitting for McCann.  My issue is that once you had, and the other moves that followed, Mateo was leaving the game anyway so why have him bat with 2 outs and 2 on.

Jose Godoy is on the taxi squad and is with the team in Chicago.

Jim Palmer said on the post-game show that he felt that Hyde should have pinch-hit for Mateo.

Seemed like a no-brainer there to me especially since Jorge came out of the game anyway

When I saw McKenna in the on deck circle to hit for O'hearn last night, I was disappointed. Hyde loves his right left matchups, no matter the hitter. I would have hit Ortiz there if you are going for that matchup. We still had to use Ortiz anyway, and if we went to extras, we would have burned through only one player instead of two.
