OMG, we finally tie the game and then walk the leadoff hitter...oh, wait that's the other team doing that.

There wdn't have been a lefty-lefty match-up possible. The Twins wd have stayed with right-handed hitting Miranda against either Irvin or Couldmbe. Kirilov (the lefty) was a pinch-hitter.

That’s fine but Coulombe>Baumann no matter what. 

[Moshagge3]

You have to PH Hays for O'Hearn if he's available, right?

Fairly confident that’s a ball Frazier doesn’t get to. 

I've been seeing that quite a bit in the short time Westburg is here.  Time to trade Frazier for whatever we can get.  It won't be much.

Miranda was the batter due up--he is right-handed and has better stats vs. LHP. They wd not have pinch-hit for him if Irvin had stayed in the game. I wd guess the O's preferred Bauman vs. Kirilov or Miranda over a tiring Irvin vs. Miranda.

Yes, and then Coulombe would still have to get through at least another RHB. I love how everyone in the thread second guesses the decision after Baumann gave up the hit.

Pretty sure everyone here was second guessing the decision before he gave up the hit. People were wondering why not DC from the jump.

That's four or five ineffective appearance in a row for Baumann. He's just not getting outs right now, platoon matchup be damned.

[Moose Milligan]

Of course.

Typical 

[Dunk35]

This is an L. Wasted Irvin's best start all year. 

[SteveA]

Damn

[Moshagge3]

Was he running with the pitch? That wasn't even hit hard.

[dystopia]

GH is not a good baserunner. 

[TopGunnar]

Ryan Ohearn should be getting pinch hit for right now. Idc if it’s a lefty.

[TopGunnar]

What bum we bringing in now? Baker?
