Wednesday, May 31: Homestand and the month of May end with rubber match vs Guardians

[Alasdaire]

If they brought up DL Hall as a reliever last year when we had several good lefties, you would think they could do the same now that we really only have Coulombe as a playable lefty.

Maybe DL is actively working on something in Norfolk, but even with his control issues, he couldn't be worse than Akin/Perez right now.

I do not understand todays bullpen usage. You have two long guys, so you purposefully have one of them throw only one inning? Then you pull the second in the 4th? Now you have no long relievers left, and 5 innings to cover.

They weren't pitching well.  Maybe Hyde figured, with the day off, that he could just burn most the pen for an inning each?

ADLEY with the hustle

This is Gibson’s fault for saying “we’re one of the juggernauts” or whatever.  He angered the baseball gods.  Been playing like dog business ever since.

I mean, they're 3-3 since then while playing the hottest team (Texas), and a Cleveland team that regardless of the record always plays tough. And while demoting Rodriguez and losing Mullins.

This team is puzzling.  

It’s not that puzzling. They have 2 good relief pitchers and the other 6/7 are not.

Santander baby!

[Mooreisbetter27]

Santander!!!

LOL this game

[Mr-splash]

Adley is pretty fast for a catcher. Once he gets chugging and builds up speed he can pick em up and put em down.

We don’t need a starter for 10 days.  Day of Thursday then Monday.   

They could definitely go without a 5th starter and bring up another BP arm. Someone stayed earlier in the day that they haven't skipped starts yet though.

We got 7 runs off Bieber.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Santander needs to tell Mounty he’s gonna catch him. Maybe that will get Mounty hitting again.

Adley beats out a grounder and AS goes deep. If we could only pitch...

[Hank Scorpio]

Why would anyone ever throw Mountcastle a fastball? 

[SteveA]

This is really incredible.   Bieber has gotten the first two Orioles out every inning, yet we have 7 runs.

With 0 or 1 out we are 0 for 8.

With 2 outs we are 8 for 12 with 2 walks, 3 doubles, and a HR.

Never seen anything like it.
