If I had to pick a second team to be a fan of, it would probably be the Giants. 

But not today

When I started little league many decades ago, the 1st team I played for was named the Giants so naturally I gained a small affection for the SanFrancisco Giants.

I'm not trying to be all get off of my lawn here but a stolen base up five in the eighth? 

Seems like stat padding.

Considering how we have given up 6-7 run leads like 4-5 times this year, I am perfectly fine with us trying to score more by any way possible.

And would you have been saying that if Mateo had blown out a hamstring?

Gosh shame he got injured like that, but with only a five run lead in the eighth it made sense for him to run.

I came in here because I was about to give Hyde props for keeping Baumann in the game to start the 8th.

What does he do? Walks the first batter and gets yanked. 

Baumann-Hyde= Let's run through the bullpen now with a 5-run lead in the 8th.

Could he not have blown out a hamstring at any point in the game?

Yeah and the Umpire screwed up Baumann's first 2 pitches and called them balls when they were strikes.  And then he yanks him.  He has got to stop giving his pitchers the hook left and right.

I would have let Baumann stay in the game. 

Cano does not seem like he is dominating like he used to. The O's need a third wipeout reliever big time

    • Good, he should cry. His performance the last 3 months including playoffs isnt something that gets forgotten easily. Atleast not for me
    • I wonder if Adley's issues are something health related but not necessarily an injury per se.  IIRC we all found out in the offseason that Ced was suffering from Crohn's in.......2020?  2021? 🤔  After Ced was pretty dreadful offensively all that season (whichever year it was). I mean something like that could potentially be at play with Adley.  Health issue but not an "injury."  Maybe something that was medically revealed after the HBP? IDK, spitballing here.
    • Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?  
    • I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone. 
    • I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that. 
    • I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it. 
    • They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.
