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.

Our bullpen is certainly capable of giving up a 5 run lead

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.

Yeah I gotta agree with that.

Sure, it's possible.

Any bullpen could.

The O's had a 98.3% WP before the stolen base.

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.

90% of this guy’s missed calls have gone against us today. Can’t bring on the robo-umps fast enough.

Why did we choose Cano in a blow out? Is Hyde trying to make his arm fall off?

[Tony-OH]

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? 

[Billy F-Face3]

Cano has been way over worked this season.

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

[Billy F-Face3]

They may have got 2 but that was bad defense decision making
