No. Bautista isn’t as good as we’d all like to believe.

What a joke. If you think he’s max steroids Gagne, then no, he’s not as good as you think. 

First run allowed in a month, and instantly he’s getting bagged on.

I know it's customary to bring in the defensive replacement for the 9th but how often is the defensive play going to matter vs needing Santander's bat later? Especially when one swing can tie it?

Baumann to pitch the 10th. Drink…

[OriolesMagic83]

Thank God our pitching is good and doesn't need help or I would be concerned.

Let’s hope we don’t get that far. I can’t argue with decision.

They sit heater. Middle middle. Split isn’t consistent enough. 
 

He can win with it but not locating it there. 

Misses his spots consistently. Can’t hit a target.

Just reposting this from earlier in the game.  Should never have had just a 1 run lead.

Would make for an interesting post game interview in a different market.

[Moshagge3]

Mateo in his ideal role.

Really don't want to see Baumann in the 10th. Sure hope we can walk this off. No blunders Mateo please

Never said he’s max steroids Gagne, but I was bagging on another poster who anointed him as the best closer in the sport earlier today. 
 

He’s not.

Ideally this wouldn’t have been necessary. Grass was wet in the outfield and Mullins is your DH.
 

In a perfect world, Hicks shifts to RF and Santander is your DH.

What is he doing !

DFA Mateo 

[eddie83]

That was worst by far. 

[O's84]

LOL.
