4/6 - at Pittsburgh

Ha did anyone catch the kid behind home plate that basically melted after that strike out. Can't blame him.

If the O's win this game, Couombe deserves the win & the save.

[Fiver6565]

LOL how can you not love this team

Does Danny become the Ghost Runner?

Why not try to lock a win down a win with Coulombe?  Baumann would never be a choice on a high leverage situation.  I thought the best plan is always to get the win today and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

This. Or even pitch Cano knowing he won't be available tomorrow. Get the series win today and it's not so bad if you lose tomorrow. I'm hoping the team learned it's lesson and we never see Baumann trying to close out a one run game in extra innings again.

Baumann was lights out in extras last year but I don’t ever have lot of confidence in him he did the job almost everytime.

I have rarely seen such poor bullpen handling by Hyde.

Yes it is 7 games into the season and we saw what happened when we overused him last year.  

Which is why it is just nuts they haven’t gone and traded for another big BP arm

Santa bring us a W!

[Fiver6565]

For all of you questioning Bauman being in there, have you forgotten how many times he pitched top 10th and other extra innings last year?  It’s how he vultured all those wins. Perfectly reasonable call, it just didn’t work out.

Ghost runner is just plain dumb, too, I hate this at the big league level, this is like little league rules.

Could not agree more.

Relax

[Fiver6565]

Westburg has had the (relatively) big bat today. I think he gets another big hit this inning.

Unfortunately, he can only bring us a lead. The pitching will have to win it.
