I think Brown reminds me more of Jamie from the Progressive commercials.

Times where you’re glad you have Odor against the Jays.

When did decide you wanted to be a jerk to me tonight? About the 3rd inning?

I'm just saying it's obvious to anyone with a any baseball sense that the Blue Jays are a much better team than the Orioles. Look up and down their lineup and compare it to ours. Hell, even their 4-foot-2, 320 pound catcher has the same OPS as Rutschman.

Its ok, they were supposed to be better than us this year and they are. Is this game over, no. With the Orioles offense of late and short bullpen, are they likely to come back, no, not really.

After this game they will be 5 1/2 games back of the final wild card. Time to focus on the young guys.

Geez Tony... not sure I deserve the short fuse for an observation that simply holds a little sarcasm? 

Sheesh... Games are 9 innings long. Do I expect the O's to win tonight based on the way the last few games have gone? No. But stranger things have happened in this glorious game called baseball. I prefer to actually have the O's score one less run than the other team when 27 outs have been recorded.

      Mateo wouldn’t be starting in the playoffs.

      We’re so talented as a team that not only do you have to bring Elite level offense to crack our lineup, but you also have to bring elite level defense.  So far only Kjerstad has been given starters ABs without Elite level defense. He earned it. Multiple demotions.  It’s an uphill battle for Norby. Norby could go onto be Jeff Kent and we could still say “well he wasn’t up to par defensively for us.”

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      I think Hyde makes some bullpen decisions based on feel and gut.   There’s nothing wrong with using the book and your eye test.  First, neither Baker or Akin was a good option so I’m not going to kill him over it and plenty of times I’m wrong and he’s right when I second guess him before the results are in. Having said that, I preferred the pitcher who was warmed up, in the game, just striking a hitter out to Akin, who has spit the bit to LH hitters before and is coming in cold.  Plus, I believe other posters have mentioned “hard facts” such as Crawford’s splits, Akins’ splits, and Akins numbers in these types of situations.

      Yep - now given up runs in 4 of the past 5.  ERA of 5.91.  Don't worry his FIPs a lot better though, 4.94. But for some reason Elias just can't quit this guy.

      Kremer was #37 in FIP last year among qualified starters at 4.51. This season he's at #108 with a 4.54 FIP among starters with more than 50 IP. That suggest he's somewhere between a #3 and #4 league-wide.

      Baker has come up small time and time again.  I'd rather he not be on the team, but he is, so at some point Hyde has to use him.  When you play a lot of close games you eventually have to pitch guys you'd rather not pitch in tight spots.

      I think we should go with Mayo, but the situation would be her Westburg starts at 3B and Mateo at 2B. You pinch hit for Mateo in 3rd or 4th AB then Westburg has to slide over to 2B with Urias/Mayo at 3B? If the playoff game is so close in the late innings(Mateo 3rd/4th AB) that you pinch hit for Mateo, do you want Mayo coming into the game?  Especially considering if it goes to extras with the bunt in play with the runner starting on 2nd.  Urias doesn’t have any options to send down till September. Our only in house option would be to call up Holliday in September and the playoffs. Westburg could stay at 3B and Holliday come in for a pinch hit Mateo at 2B.
