That and Judge was dogging it. If he's running hard on 3-2 he should have scored easily. That's two plays he's dogged it on this game.

My excuse...

Possibly avoiding going all out to try and save his legs.

But also....

I wasn't sure. I thought maybe he wasn't very fast idk.

This describes me during co-ed softball season.

77% of the outs that Kremer recorded (7 out of 9) came via the Strikeout and the Groundout. Other than that he threw lots of pitches, walked too many batters, and didn't eat enough innings.

I made a whole comment and I have to make it again. No you are wrong and that’s why I won’t budge.

A cautious manager would know that Kramer didn’t have it tonight and would start dealing with somebody warming up. Bring in your pen guy after the first walk. Even if Kremer gets out of the inning unscathed, bring him in the next inning. Regardless, He still has to pitch the inning, he would have to pitch the inning regardless. So by leaving Kremer in, you’re not saving the pen. He STILL  Has to throw the inning, the only difference is that instead of one guy on and no outs, it’s three guys on and no out, and then you give up two runs that you didn’t have to give up.

So you save nothing by leaving Kremer in. You make things worse. And it’s impossible that he would have suddenly turn thing around and been fabulous the rest of the game. He was already 85 pitches. ~70 to start the inning. It is far-fetched to suggest that he was suddenly going to be fabulous and make it another two or three innings. Plus Hyde is well aware of his limits and his recent performance.

There is no excuse for making the same mistake two days in a row.

I need to rephrase what I was trying to say. Game 5 of a season when the team is closer to a 100 loss team as opposed to a team that will be competitive is not the time to blow out a BP.

 In order for this team to take any steps forward they will need guys like Kremer to be able to learn how to pitch.

The Orioles have that unusual makeup in their batting order in which they strike out a lot, but they also don't have any power to make up for it.

[Tony-OH]

This is just one of the nights where one of the best in the business has his A+ stuff.

But it could mean the difference between 62 and 63 wins.

62...that's a lofty goal there.

[mrbig1]

Unbelievable.
