He doesn't have anyone else to go to. Honestly would have just left Bradish in. If he blows it, he blows it, but the 'pen is shot and Bradish needed to just take one for the team there.

The pen isn't really shot in terms of middle inning guys.  Voth is rested.   But Maton is a lefty and followed by Baddoo who is also a lefty, so he chose this spot for Cionel.   Cionel probably gets Baddoo in the 6th, and then maybe Voth?

Where the pen is shot, is in terms of late games guy.   They probably don't want to use Bautista and Baker for the 4th time in 5 days, especially given some of the high pitch counts Bautista has had.   And Baumann isn't a guy they want to use back to back.   So it's up to Cionel/Akin/Voth/Coulombe to get us to Cano in the 9th.  (And in a close game, most managers tend to try to save one guy just in case of extra innings, and that might be Akin today).

So probably Voth comes on after Baddoo and goes at least an inning, then Coulombe, then Pena.

Bradish folded like a tent....so disappointing..This is why starting  pitching is our weakness...

Its why this off season was such a bummer.   We all knew we needed some starting pitching.   And Elias got us some stuff from the discount racks.

      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.
