Hyde couldn't pinch hit for McCann?

Would be disrespectful.

 

Of course I don't understand why you would have a guy that put up a 55 OPS+ last year at DH in the first place.

Mateo needs to run run run

McKenna could not have possibly played that worsens. He is complete garbage.  It is infuriating that he is still on this team.  He has no place in this organization anywhere

Mateo needs to swipe a couple bags here. 

whoops didn’t mean to quote

Steal.

I just cannot believe how Tampa is playing. If the Orioles lose, they'll be 5.5 back!? Lol

Yeah, I might have gone with Santander there.

Hinch followed Ed Rod with another lefty, I'm sure we would have had Vavra or O'Hearn if he had brought in a righty.

So are you saying if the Orioles were winning 4-1, you would not use Bautista today for the ninth? 

It is more important for him to pitch with runners on in my opinion to "save" the game than to get a statistical save in a three run game. 

I was advocating as far back as when Jim Johnson was the closer to only use the "designated closer" in save situations of 1-2 runs.  Would limit their saves and lower their arbitration price.  Any guy in the bullpen should be able to nail down a 3 run save.

He hit a HR last night. Maybe some day he'll hit another one.

McKenna didn't play it well, but the throw was decent enough and it was in time to get the runner. Adley moved out of position to make the play at the plate.

Because he didn’t play it well he had to rush, didn’t get a good grip, and his throw tailed. 

[Beysbol]

Well, at least we didn't get a perfect game thrown against us.

Even with the HR his OPS+ is even lower this season (53)
