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.

I’d be surprised if Kjerstad plays over OHearn.

You're probably right, but he's been not so good lately. Hoping for a spark from Kjerstad.

I think Hyde defaults to the vet in almost all cases, so I think O'Hearn starts vs. Kjerstad if it's a choice between those two.

I’d be ok with it..just be surprised.

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

O'Hearn crushed the ball in the 9th inning, it took the Great Wall and a nice play by Carter to get him out.

As much as I’m looking forward to Hestons career, I trust Ohearns ABs tomorrow more.

They scored 8 run today.

This loss was on the pitching.

This. They used 8 pitchers, and issued 11 BBs.

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.
