Is Fox right that Burnes is the winning pitcher? I thought Tampa tied it up after he left the game. 

No, he is not the winning pitcher.

Burch Smith is, even though he allowed the tie run to score.

They did tie up. Burch should get win. Those two announcers were wrong quite a few times tonight.

I loved this TV crew tonight. They were great! Going back to the usual dreck will be even more difficult. John Smoltz is great

I thought they sucked.  They were better last week.

The Orioles have the best record in baseball, the best broadcast teams with Kevin Brown/Palmer/Big Ben McDonald, the best GM in Mike Elias, and the best manager with Brandon Hyde.

I thought they were terrible, I'll take any combo of the Orioles announcers over Fox.

    • A good manager would have instructed him to bunt Well not for nothing, but I would like 100 dollars for every time a Good Manager did not bunt with first and second with nobody out. Now if the SF pitcher was LH, I would be onboard. If they were down by 1, maybe. Why would you not let Mullins hit there?
    • Putting aside the issue of “not counting” stats that don’t fit the argument, I’m curious who he would have had hit there. What were the other options? Eloy Jimenez (1 for his last 23) Coby Mayo (3 for 37 with 21 Ks as a pro) Jackson Holliday (0 for last 22 vs LHPs  with 12 Ks) Livan Soto (~.600 career AAA OPS vs LHPs)   Not saying Slater was some slam dunk pick, but I honestly don’t really even understand how folks can criticize Hyde for those types of decisions anymore. Every lever he has available to pull is clearly marked *WRONG* in flashing red lights. 
    • Is it really the injuries?  
    • People born in 1984 are 40 now and have never seen the O’s get past the ALCS
    • Really tired of the losing, but even more tired of the team not playing the game the right way. Giants losing by a run get men on 1st and 2nd no outs, and their next guy lays down a nice bunt. Kremer slips fielding the roller and next thing you know they got bases loaded no outs, and a couple minutes later three runs have crossed the plate. We have the same situation in the 7th inning and our best bunt guy up to bat, and what does Hyde do? He has Mullins (0-3 at that point w/o hitting the ball out of the infield) swing away. WTF. Mullins strikes out, and our runners are eventually stranded.    At the very least Mullins should shown bunt. He didn’t. A good manager would have instructed him to bunt. Hyde didn’t. His team lost the game, and more importantly his team deserved to lose. That’s what really pisses me off. 
    • Rivera and Soto should be playing over Holliday and Mayo until Westburg and Urias return. It's what Buck would have done in 2014.
    • Many of us aren’t all that young anymore…
