Sunday, April 23: Orioles try to sweep Tigers out of Baltimore

I want Hyde asked point blank in the post game why Baumann was taken out.

Why did Baumann only pitch one inning?

Good Q since Baumann was being groomed to be a middle reliever I thought.

Hyde trying his hardest to find the Oriole reliever who'll finally give up the first run of the game.

Feels like it, doesn't it? Baumann had such an easy inning, I still don't get why he didn't let him go 2. If the strategy is to keep the score 0-0 by the time Rodriguez leaves the game, you're going to need to have someone in the bullpen for extra innings.

LOL at that strike call to Hays.  This has to be the worst home plate umpire I have seen in years.

[maybenxtyr]

Why would he burn through relievers in a game like this?

Looks like the O's bats are giving EROD the perfect game. 

[Moose Milligan]

If we had signed E-Rod like I wanted this past offseason, this wouldn’t be happening.

It's hard not to when everything (including balls) are called strikes.

At least Mountcastle made him throw more than 3 pitches this time...lol

[Bahama O's Fan]

We just need to bring up some guys from Norfolk just to shake things up in the hopes of getting the offense going.

There we go.   

Now EdRod is at 89 pitches, Hinch will probably have a pretty quick hook if we can keep this inning going.

At any rate, he ain't going 9.
