Why didn’t they pinch hit OHearn? Why Frazier?

May hit for Westburg or Mateo?

I fear for the rest of the season we're going to have to expect more or less weak offense against lefties.  Can't see Elias going out and getting a big right handed bat within the next week.  But he can and hopefully will improve the bullpen.

You think in playoffs we get 7 from starter the big boys won’t be available?  And yes, you are right need to add more. 

I'm talking about when a starter comes out in the fifth and sixth innings in the playoffs and having to rely on the likes of Baker to kill a rally. Baker is ok to start an inning clean, but he's terrible with inherited runners.

Orioles I command THEE to get us the go-ahead run...

[Mooreisbetter27]

Gunnar working a walk. So good.

Kimbrel is an all-timer. 

I'd almost forgotten about him. In his Red Sox days, I called him The Crab.

Let's not forget we hit like crap tonight.  We turned that rag arm into Lefty Gomez.

we're lucky to be tied...but if it goes extras we are toast because we have no pen...

Cole Irvin is fresh.  We're probably covered until the 16th inning or so.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Now they’re bringing in OHearn. Okay then.

O'Hearn time

[Pat Kelly]

O'Hearn will need to lead us. 

[baltfan]

Steal!!!

[eddie83]

You can steal on him. 

[Flash- bd]

I would use Irvin in more high leverage situations, honestly. 

Means coming back for September or October would be big in terms of moving one of our starters into high leverage situations or having Means available for them himself.
