Great interview tonight. He called out Cowser for throwing Kimbrels ball in the stands at the end of the game and said his players need to be more aware of the situation.

I thought that was weird.  Is it Cowsers job to know that he tied some number? And even if he did, is it common to save a ball because you moved into like 6th place or something? 

Just seemed to me like coming down on a rookie for no reason.

Yeah that sounds rather crappy to me too.

To be fair to Cowser, he should be aware of the game situation…..not the career stats for Kimbrel.  That is someone in the dugouts job.  Also, I find it amusing that managers call young players out for things that they would never call out for veterans.

They could have talked about it to make sure everyone knows to save the ball.

Cowser ended up going out and finding the ball, in the fountain.

I think the whole team is probably aware, and if they weren't they are now.

See! Now it’s a better story for Kimbrel. Great job, kid!

Ok, I guess. I just don't really get it.  I mean if he at the all time record or something, sure. But because he moved into 4th or 5th place or whatever? Gonna throw one of your  young players under the bus like that for that? Not the approach ib would take for sure.

I didn't watch the game but did Hyde really need to take Burnes out in the 6th inning?  I know he gave up the home run, but still, he was pitching well prior to that and the O's bullpen has felt unsteady lately.  Does a starter, even an ace, have to throw a no-hitter to be left in past the 6th inning?

He said it tongue in cheek, but let's all get mad!

Did Burnes really need to nibble around the zone and run his pitch count up?

He was at 98 pitches, he should have taken him out then.

He’s not a good baseball player anymore.

6th starter, at best

Not mad.  I said I thought it was weird. Still do. And it didn't sound tongue in cheek at all to me. He sounded legit mad at Cowser for it.

Like I said I didn't watch the game, but for the moment I have more faith in a moderately struggling  Corbin Burnes with a 4 run lead close to 100 pitches than 3 and 1/3 innings of this bullpen on the road in KC.  I hope Irvin can give us at least 5 tomorrow.
