7/4 vs Seattle Mariners

[LookitsPuck]

We’ve been saying all season that Akin isn’t a leverage pitcher. Hyde refuses to acknowledge it.

[Three Run Homer]

At least Akin hurt his own ERA, not just Baker's.

Utter garbage pile of poo. Bring Vespi back. Inexcusable against this offense 

[Dunk35]

Hey Mike Elias! Our bullpen sucks!!

RCF, but close enough.

Hyde plays this lefty/lefty nonsense and he’s constantly wrong with Akin with runners on. It doesn’t matter. He’s so bad.

 

Sometimes I hate the way Hyde manages!

We need 2-3 new bullpen arms if we want a chance to win in the playoffs. The current pen ain’t it

A walk would’ve been better. That was awful. 

Yup, a run and they're still in it.

[Dibbs31]

Gotta win games when your ace has good stuff. Offense as much to blame as the bullpen

[Bird Lady]

Time for some roster shuffling on Monday.

Baker loaded the bases.

[allquixotic]

Hope we don't see any more Akin after today.

[RavensNOsGuy]

What a pathetic loss this should have been a sweep. 

[Dunk35]

Keegan Akin gotta go. That was just awful pitch execution. 

[O's84]

Mateo's error hurt.  Probably get out of that without damage and a lower pitch count for Burnes.

[OnlyOneOriole]

Horrible pitching change.  I said this to my friends watching with me.

Baker loaded the bases but the hits and walks were nothing.  He was dealing.  His ball was moving. He had bad breaks and had just struck out his last batter. 

Bringing in Akin is a kiss of death.  He is horrible.   Let me repeat.....HORRIBLE. 

Moves like this make me think our manager is not the answer to get us to the promised land.

He took out a guy who had spin and revs for an oompa loompa who can't pitch.
