The reality is that we don’t have a good option. We just have to pick the best of the mediocre options we have and I think Gibson is the guy to pick based on his experience.

Sure. 
Hall/Wells are first guys from pen for me after whoever starts. 
 

Although it didn’t matter today, scoring 1st would help.

My predicted lineup for Tues

Gunnar SS

Adley C

Santander RF

Mountcastle 1B

Hicks CF - Ced has to sit with such poor ABs

Hays LF

Frazier 2B

Westburg 3B - Could be Mateo after today, but not so good against RHP

Kjerstad DH

Gibson

The last 3 spots in the order are interchangeable.

The Orioles entire purpose now should be winning Game 3. All hands on deck. Starters should be available in the bullpen. There's nothing to "save" for a Game 4, because there's no Game 4 at this moment. I hope Hyde realizes that.

LOL.  I'm sure Hyde understands the definition of an elimination game.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is still feeling the effects of his injuries. Even though Eovaldi is pitching, I agree that someone else needs to play CF on Tuesday instead of Mullins.

In his last AB I saw him clutching his side and wincing, I think he is playing through something right now, maybe aggravated something on that dive for the double in the second.

I was at the game yesterday and you have to give credit to the offense for scrapping for 6 more runs after being down 9-2 after 3 innings. That's complexly demoralizing yet they didn't go through the motions.

I'm think you go with Gibson in game three then Kremer game 4.

Rutschman and Mullins have really been zeros in the first two games and obviously the moment was just too big for Grayson. 

Hopefully a veteran like Gibson can calm things down.

Hyde’s played the splits all here I don’t think it’s going to change tomorrow except Hicks in CF. I imagine O’hearn over Mounty at first and Kjerstad will DH. With Mateo swinging a hot stick I think he’ll get the start at short and I imagine Frazer gets the start over Westburg.

    • Maybe Hall would be better off if we had done that.  He sure seemed to make a lot more progress as a reliever than he did the last 2-3 years in the minors.   I’m all for seeing what McDermott can do in the bullpen.   Still doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be interested in adding Brecht as well.   That’s not saying he’d even be ready to contribute this year but maybe. I think Sale, Crochet, and others prove that you can fast track as a reliever and still go back to starting.   Anyway, I think I’ll just leave it at agree to disagree.  I’m looking for elite talent at #22 even if the guy profiles as a reliever.   I’ll take that over a Billy Amick type.
    • Everything about Adley's throwing has taken a hit this year.  His pop time used to be top tier and he's degraded to around league average.  That's on top of his propensity to throw the ball to Narnia.   Some of the throwing issues I'd excuse because no one is throwing runners out at a good clip anymore (the base size and pickoff rules really made meaningful changes there) but he's not really a plus guy with the run game anymore.  He's still elite at blocking the plate and framing so that's good.   Wieters had a pretty steep drop-off through his mid-20s defensively as well.  It's hard to be Ivan Rodriguez and be an elite thrower from the backstop for like 15 years straight. 
    • Watching this kid at OK State kinda hurts. Starting shortstop for a top 10 program as a Freshman. He’s gives off some toolsy vibes.
    • Self edit - I was filtered on contract value not aav. There’s 5 or 6 relievers in the top 50 aav per year. But that’s still nothing, since it shows even back end #2 starters make more than all but the elite closers.  as far as Brecht, I’d have him going up the minors as a starter just like baumeister  I want our minor leagues and FO looking to maximize long term value of our pipeline. If we need a closer or setup man for this year, I’d rather deal norby or someone to acquire it. hell, we kind of already have Brecht at home  his name is chayce McDermott. I’d rather bring him up down the stretch this year than start a first round picks clock and waste a chance to develop him as a starter. If we valued immediate bullpen help over developing starters, hall would’ve been a full time reliever 2 years ago rather than toiling away in Norfolk trying to get him command sorted.   
    • Of course Holliday as well. Anyways Mayo, Basallo no. As for Kjerstad?, depends on how Stowers does with his chance and what their going to with Mountcastle and to a lesser extent O'Hearn.
    • If I get Brecht I’m getting him in the ML bullpen ASAP and pulling the Chris Sale/Garrett Crochet move later on if it’s warranted.
    • Only thing that runs Mateo of 2B is injury or Holliday.
