This series has been all about Kwan, Ramirez and the Cleveland BP. They are killers.

Hopefully someone is taking notes and reminds Hyde who we can and can't pitch to when we face them again...

Hyde is the worst. He just accepts this game after game after game. I'm sick of it.

Not sure why anyone is getting on Hyde. It's the 3rd inning. I'd rather he stays around to manage the full game. He's shown frustration with bad strike zones plenty of times this year. He also knows t

Not about reversing the call. The umpire needs to be called out and embarrassed in front of everyone for his incompetence. That’s what Aaron Boone does and it works in his team’s favor. Many Umpires w

He and Mayo are looking like automatic outs in the 7 an 8 spots here.    Weak grounders a high % of the time, Cedric throws in some popups for variety.    Thank goodness we have Holliday at 9 so the opposing pitcher can't coast throught he bottom 3.

I'll bet we see Slater get a start over Mullins vs a righty at least once in Toronto.

Should have traded Mayo before he showed he can't hit MLB pitching.  Now it's too late.  😢

1.127 OPS versus southpaws, but it worked this time.

 

Yeah, pulling Smith there kind of surprised me.   I'd have given him one more batter.

Hyde always errs on the side of changing relievers too soon and using more of them.

But overall a really good job by our relievers in the 6th and 7th.    Off day tomorrow and Cano had a really quick 9th yesterday so I'm sure he's lined up for the 9th.   

R-L-R due inthe 8th so Perez is probably done.   Kimbrel?  Webb?

So we lost Gillispie in the minor league Rule 5 Draft.

We all know about the successes that various teams including the Orioles have had from the major league Rule 5 draft.   But I have to say I'm not familiar with the results of the minor league Rule 5 draft.   Have the Orioles ever gotten anyone via that route that turned out to be good?   Have we ever lost anyone that way who has gone on to have success with the team that took him?

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
