6-2 gotta be close to game over.

Well, considering most games last 9 innings, I'd say you're probably right

This is the kind of game that can trigger losing streaks.. messages sent to guys like Watkins, individuals put in different roles and not doing well

 

Hooefully not but I much would rather have gone full bore playoff mode this weekend in Tampa than tryout mode.

Nice hit Rutsch. I hope to be seeing him doing that live in Billtown next weekend...got a tix!

There was a clear message sent to the team this guy by management. And that was winning the game today wasn't the biggest priority.

Some of you really need to chill the f out.

Has Elias ever said or done anything to make you think that winning one regular season game in particular was his biggest priority?

Can you imagine how some of these guys would not handle a playoff game?

Yeah? Which player or coach let you in on that?

No kidding. Elias is looking at the whole picture, the entire health of this franchise, this year and beyond. Hell, Hall might have come in and pitched a gem.

Imagine telling an O's fan last year, or even May of this year, that in August people would get on their computer and type, "I can't believe the Orioles would punt a big game by not allowing Spenser Watkins to take his turn in the rotation."

Yep it is kind of mind blowing.   But we are here now in a race at least for a while and we are getting greedy.  We want to win.  Its nerve wracking.

Nice play by Hays

What if I told you Hall had to take his lumps at some point and I’d rather it be in mid August than the end of August.

Odor with the hit and the steal to keep things alive in the 8th! HA!
