Hyde's insistent of keeping Lopez in until he gets hammered borders on criminal.

I get that Lopez was pitching well, and want to build his confidence and show we can trust him in the 5th and 6th innings.  But we can't.  He's shown time and time again he needs pulled once the 3rd time through the order starts.  Maybe if we had a decent bullpen that wasn't constantly taxed so heavily we could pull him when he needs pulled.  It all just sucks right now.

Do you trust Scott to come in and throw strikes with two men on already?  

I don't trust a single pitcher in that bullpen outside of Valdez, but I trust all of them more than Lopez pitching the 3rd time through the order.

It is obvious that winning is not the priority.  Just filling the team with a warm body seems to be all we are doing until the kids arrive from the minors.  But it is painful to sit through

73% sv pct needs to go up for me to trust even Valdez.

That's 73% lifetime as an Oriole. It's 67% this year so it's even worse.

Runners in scoring position:   0 for 4 today.   3 for 28 in the series.

Well, that went south. I wasn’t monitoring the game so I don’t know how much if any warning Lopez gave that he was done, but he obviously got through the 6th.

Pyrrhic victory, though.

Now, why is it that when I complain about Hyde’s pitching practices, I get pilloried, but you get laureled and lauded.

Must be the suit coat.

But yes, you are correct.

Man that is horrible. No exclamation point, just period.

[Philip]

Scott with a clean inning.

Hes a box of chocolates. What’s he going to be today?

The lineup is pretty awful right now.

If you focused on Hyde sticking with Lopez time and time again you would be correct. I think we can all agree on that. 

[Philip]

Well, I guess Scott was milk chocolate today.... not that it matters in the scheme of things.

[SteveA]

Couple good bullpen innings today.
