See if you have good players and make dumb decisions it still works out for you.  Pitching to Mancini was stupid but it worked.

Mostly it is about what team is the most talented.

Can't even make contact to drive in the run from third. Ugh

Here’s an idea: if the pen is bad, bring up guys from the minors. Plutko isn’t having anyone’s baby, he can go to DFA heaven, and so can Armstrong, Lakins, and anyone else who is lousy. If the minors guys are lousy too, well, at least you find out now.

Plutko has been great as a reliever .183 average against him as reliever and .539 ops.  You think there is someone that is better then that in the minors?

Philbert has a short memory and lives in the moment.

Grab some pine!

Kiermaier is an all time Oriole killer, I believe.

Does anyone else think Kiermaier looks like Markakis?

Maybe not.  I just looked at the stats.  I dunno why I felt that way, though.

He's made a ton of great defensive plays against us over the years.

I have no problem with him at all. My point was that, IF HES BAD THATS ALL THE MORE REASON TO LET HIM START A CLEAN INNING.

If he’s good, let him start a clean inning.

Heres an idea: don’t let your tiring starter start an inning.

There's that.

[Moose Milligan]

Man, I thought we were going to get this one.

(Sigh)

Sad face emoji.

That's true.  Him and Pillar.  Pillar's tuned us up to an .845 OPS though.

He's done a tremendous job this year coming in with men on base.
