Palmer's disdain is always hysterical. He's does disdain so well.

Unless -- when we bring in Bautista this inning, we do a double switch and bring McKenna in for Mullins.  Then they can swap positions and Bautista wouldn't be due until 9 batters into the 8th. A

I was not expecting this offensive outburst tonight. Astros fans have to be asking WTF is up with losing to the Orioles like we do with the Tigers.

Krehbiel had way too long of a leash tonight with a well rested bullpen. Just not good in-game managing by Hyde.

It reminded me of when Buck would leave in a starter an inning too long, when everyone knew it was a time for a new pitcher. 

A pitcher has to get ready.  There was no one even losing up yet.  Perez was trying to get ready but then you have bunch of right handed guys up so he wasn’t going to come in to face Peña.  This is on no one but Krehbal.  He faced 5 batters and got one guy out just a pathetic outing.

He was awful but there was time to get someone up.  Stop acting like like things were moving forward at the speed of light.

There was plenty of time to see he had nothing and was getting hit around left and right.  Hyde then left him in with the bases loaded and the rest is history.  You at least gotta to take him out there.

Takes a bit to get guys warmed up though. He probably did not want to use Perez there and Perez may have not been totally warmed up. The only things surprising is why Akin was not the handcuff for Baumann tonight.

I think if he's being hit around but not like it's instantaneously there can be time for someone to get up and ready.  Plus you can buy a little time with a mound visit.  In any regard, leaving him in there is completely changing the game because you knew he was going to blow it.  

Regardless now, it's a new game right now.  Let's see if we can shut them down and find a way to win.  Go O's!

Seattle loses.

Orioles would only be two games back of the Mariners if they can beat the Astros tonight. Mariners were supposed to have a cake schedule in September and they are falling apart. 

Edit: I've been misled the Mariners game is ongoing and they are tied 5-5 in the sixth inning against the Royals.

I didn't see the inning, but yeah, when you bring in a reliever in the 5th inning, you're expecting him to get through the inning or two, not implode. Sounds like this is more on Krehbiel. 

Yeah he only threw 14 pitches so things imploded in a hurry.  I am sure last thing he wanted to do was use Perez in the 5th inning.

+1, that early in the game you don't want to burn two guys unless you absolutely have to. Pena being a RHB I'm sure was also a factor.

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      By now · Posted

      Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
