Why is Webb making his second appearance while Flaherty sits?  I would think this  game was the perfect fit for a veteran calming influence.  

Oh well,  too late now.  

Flaherty has been our worst pitcher.

This was still a very successful season, something to build on.

They were not going to win the series this year, realistically. And second place is the same as last place.

There's really no guarantees next year. I'm expecting Boston and New York to improve.

Annnnd I’m done. 
 

Literally every decision that Hyde has made in these two games have cost them but the not attempting to acquire reliable arms (and then leaving reliable arms off of the playoff roster) is on Elias.

 

They had a great season but they’re far overmatched here.

Well guys, it looks like it's over.  Why Baker was in the game to begin with I'll never know.  The guy is a dumpster fire and should not be near a Major League mound until he proves he can get AAA hitters out.

Not letting Webb off the hook either, but a solo wouldn't have killed us.

I would love to just be able to enjoy playoff baseball.

Bochy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hyde. 3 WS titles vs nothing. Nuff said. Would’ve very much preferred Tampa.

It’s 3rd inning. He is a starter.

No Flaherty or Wells?  Weird. 

Saving them, in the tradition of Oriole managers in the post-season this century.

It seems as if everyone in the BP is a cast off from elsewhere.  You eventually reap what you sow.

You sure do. Moneyball is a fraud, especially in the postseason.

What an embarrassment!

Going to need Flaherty to come up big today.

Yes we need  Flaherty so we can recount how Elias weakened the team at the deadline, while the Rangers added  the guy who is going to get them multiple playoff wins

[kaj21206]

I really don't understand how the hell Baker was even on the roster.    Why Flaherty wasn't in the game makes no sense.  He hasn't been great, but he's at least a major league pitcher.

This is on John Angelos, Mike Elias, and Sig Mejdal for failing to get reliable relievers at the trade deadline.

You all know it’s bad when this dudes down in the dumps. He was calling us chicken littles like 15 minutes ago.
