Yeah, I think Irvin there was a "now that we're down 2 we're likely to lose, so let's use our lower leverage guys to finish the game" move. 

Really need Givens back to add some depth to the bullpen.

[Malike]

Hays, the unlikely hero.

Who’s left to play third with Ortiz out?  Would’ve rather seen Ortiz get the shot here. 

[O's84]

What is Hays doing?

[Fiver6565]

I guess Vavra to third and Hays to left. Forgot Terrin has played a little bit there. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Hays with an awful at bat there wanted to tie the game in one swing.

[Frobby]

Just a terrible at bat by Hays. 

[Hank Scorpio]

That’s an “I’ve been sitting all day” swing.

[Malike]

Ryan O'Homerun.

[Fiver6565]

Awful AB for Hays there. 

[Spy Fox]

Well, forcing them to bring in Romano for 4 outs today is a small positive that could impact tomorrow.

Hyde managing oddly today.  Let’s keep Vavra in at all costs.  Remove Ortiz who is the better defender and having good at bats.  Hays with a nothing AB, moves to LF, Vavra in at 3B.

Same Sarasota commercial for three straight years.  Kind of tired of it.  Sure the mom is decent (not beautiful but ok) to look at.....but still changing the commercial once a year is advised I would think.

I'm surprised Givens is taking so long to come back. Unlike Tate, he had a spring training.

Me too.  Remember the Sunday before the season when he tries to throw in hopes of being ready for Opening Day, and he just couldn't plant on his knee and left the mound throwing his glove in frustration.

So on about March 25 they THOUGHT he might be ready to pitch but he wasn't.  So I figured that would be a minor setback for a couple weeks.  Here we are 8 weeks later.  Odd.   There's something we don't know.

It's amazing they've won 29 games in spite of Hyde.
