It should be Soto time now followed by Kimbrel.

Why was Hyde a better manager last year than this year?

That was not a high leverage situation. Not even close to one. 

Medium leverage, close to being high.

Managing with expectations now.

Because clutch isn't a repeatable skill.

Down 2 runs in the 6th inning in mid August. It’s not a playoff game.

So you should just give up the game and throw it in the loss column?  It was probably the last chance to "save" the game.  I believe in the O's ability to score 2 or even 3 runs.  If you are talking 5 runs, like now, that takes a major offensive explosion.

Just keep throwing them away and it won’t be.

The Os have had issues with teams that put the ball in play this year.

The defense is a disappointment imo. I think that’s a big part of it.

What are you talking about. If Baker can’t get the bottom of the Nats order out why is he on the team?

If they lose this game I believe that puts them at 5-10 in their last 15 home games. Pathetic. 

[oriolediehard]

7-2 is a loss, good night folks!

[Rbiggs2525]

It was a 4-2 game against a team that traded all their leverage relievers.
