Every move Hyde made in this and yesterday's games backfired!!!!!

It’s hard to make good pitching changes when no one is pitching well.  Who should he use to cover 4 innings last night and 5 or 6 tonight?  A lot of guys are on fumes and it showing.

Steal so no DP

Wow….

[Moshagge3]

Wacky game. Is there some Mateo Magic?

There was still no need to send down Irvin.

He brought up Vespi for that move, had him up for one day, didn't use him, then sent him down for (Baker?).

Who pitched in one game and then went down for Baumann.

Irvin should never have gone down.

100%. Just a mind-bogglingly bad and short sighted move.

I agree with that but thing is we still would have games like this. Irvin can’t pitch all the time. He went from 6 to 5 man rotation and has 9 man pen. 
 

I mean when we had a 6 man rotation and 7 man pen the staff was in better shape.

This entire game is really on Kremer who has just nothing left in the tank when we needed him most...

True.  At this time of the year starters need to step on the throats of guys.  They should be running on addrenaline.  

[Chavez Ravine]

There we go. The dreaded catcher’s interference!

ALW has been a train wreck lately. 

Yep, all 3 of them have struggled worse in September than the Orioles have.

But you'll still find people on here who will say we have no chance to beat one of those teams in the postseason because of our September struggles.

[baltfan]

I hate not sending Mateo.

Don’t worry. He can’t be in playoff pen. 

I’m a TEENCY but worried!!!

[allquixotic]

Heyyyy, Gurgi's mom! Your favorite player is looking to steal a base here.

My only issue is he's trying to use so many platoon advantages he's burning his bullpen out. He needs to start letting guys pitch multiple innings again.
