When you counter Gausman-Berrios with Baumann-Akin .... yeah.

Toronto did the smart thing and employed a bullpen game against a crap Pittsburgh team to have 2 good starters available today. Meanwhile we burn our starters and still can't sweep the A's

JBJr 3 for 3 LMAO this team

So what position player is most likely to close out this game pitching the ninth inning for the Orioles today? 

I’m going with Vavra

That lost yesterday to one of the worst teams in baseball was a VERY bad loss. It made this series that much more important. 

Been saying that constantly on this board for the last 24 hrs

Why not Hays, he throws 106 and hasn't been good with the bat in weeks.

[JR Oriole]

Bradley is an established veteran with a lot of experience in big games for Boston.  He would bat cleanup for us.   Yet he rides Toronto’s bench.

It sure looks to me like Hyde quit on the team today. After Akin, he just watched while the weakest links in the bullpen got hammered.

To me, that’s sending the message that he  doesn’t think they can come back from 4 runs down, so hold off until tomorrow.

Love Kevin and Ben but please stop trying to spin anything about today as a positive

Weeks? Try months, Stowers should be playing over him

Very frustrating to get to this point in the season.. and see guys like Bauman, Hall, Zimmermann as who we have to go to today.. 

 

Really bad timing, bad luck and poor planning … hopefully if they are in this position next season they will have the players on the field who you want out there.

You saw him play for Boston this year?  Lol

Turning into quite a teabagging here. Feels like the 2020 team today.

The rout is on! Maybe we'll be spared by the rain.

Actually the 2020 team was probably better than what we've seen today. This is more like 2018 collapse ville.

Good barometer game
