I'm confused. When can one double-switch or not? Did Hyde have a choice as to where Henderson slots in?

You can double switch whenever make two (or more) defensive changes simultanously.   So we changed P and CF at the same time, and Hyde can then specify which of the two positions they  hit in.   The pitcher was in the 5 spot and Mullins was in the 1 spot, but by making the double substitution he can say the new pitcher goes in the 1 spot and the new CF goes in the 5 spot.

Wtf was that. 

[PHRESH]

Would Mateo's relay have gotten him though? 

[Moose Milligan]

Hays so bad.  SO BAD.

I mean, I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE FOUND OUT.  Thanks for nothing, Hays.  

[O's84]

You know what would have been better? Actually scoring when you have bases loaded none out!

Next time I play the horses, you're coming with me

I like Bautista, but I don't love him.  Can get a little wild sometimes.  It's not always easy.

He's got an incredible arm.

We'll never know for sure.

Yeah... Me too...

Hays defense hasn't been very good this season and advanced fielding metrics back it up. I hope Hays improves next season because his trade value isn't very high right now.

Yeah, this is true.

Seems like he would have had a shot. Big guy running on a ball to LF. Regardless, absolutely no reason for that ball to go to third. 

[LA2]

With a decent throw from Hays, Mateo wd have nailed Alvarez. Jeesh. Let's get out of this inning without another run yielded.

It will be great if Hyde's double-switch helps win the game.
