Odor, Bemboom, and McKenna due.

That certainly seems like a murderer's row to get some insurance runs..

[O's84]

Nice job by Lopez there.  Now can we score some runs to make the 9th easier, please.

And McKenna isn’t available to PH for Hyde. He has no moves he can make. 

[SteveA]

They bring in the lefty and we don't pinch hit Urias for Odor?

Is Urias hurt?

The chances of the that runner on 3rd not scoring is about 1.4%.

Maybe that's a sign, the O's luck is about to change.

[waroriole]

Definitely a great idea to not PH Urias or Hays for the LH Odor.  

[waroriole]

And now McKenna hits instead of Hays. Arrrgggghhhh

With the lead, if you want to keep McKenna in for defense, especially with 2 outs and no one one so scoring is unlikely no matter who bats.... I don't mind that.

But Hays should come in as a defensive replacement for Santander in the bottom of the 9th.

[O's84]

Of course were going to have to do this the hard way.

He should’ve came in last inning for Santander because he had just batted. How Urias or Hays didn’t PH for Odor is beyond me. Is Hyde afraid of Odor?

[Tony-OH]

That's a pitcher McKenna needs to hit if he wants to stay in the major leagues. He's an absolute zero at the plate right now.

yeah, I think the play was to PH Hays for Odor, since they should bring him on as a defensive replacement anyways. McKenna has been totally miscast as a PH multiple times this year, but you definitely want to keep his glove in the game with the lead

What's the odds of a 1-2-3 9th.

[Tony-OH]

I'm not excited about Lopez sitting down, and then having to ramp it back up.
