They can fix him when the O’s are losing not by making the O’s lose.

I get the matchup part in order. I get he threw better lately. 
Not there. Oh well. Ended ok.

I’m gonna have me a Birch Beer to celebrate that DP!

Huge double play ball. Great job by Smith and the defense!

[Roy Firestone]

Could use another couple of runs...

[OriolesMagic83]

Disaster averted.  I still trust Soto less than a wet fart after Taco Bell.

Plus Baker.

Love the guts to go with Soto by Hyder….he’s seeing what he has in the young man.

[Aristotelian]

Why didn't the Sox send Yoshida on that base hit? I thought he would've scored easy. 

[allquixotic]

Okay, I’m a fan of Smith too. He can stay.

Eloy, Slater, Eflin, Dominguez have all been solid.

Eloy has had five hits, they’ve all been on the ground. He hasn’t been solid, he’s been exactly the way he was. Slater is a non-factor, the others have been good so you’re basic point is correct but Eloy is not a positive factor yet.

Unless he’s hurt, there’s zero excuse.

Efflin is a low 90s pitch count guys for most part.  I would have let him start the inning but he probably goes just 1 or 2 hitters.

I’ve been walking and periodically checking the game and I just see that Soto was brought in. Now a lot of people don’t like the fact that I don’t like hide and they don’t like the reasons I give even though the reasons I give are excellent reasons.
However, because I’m not paying attention to the game because I’m walking, I don’t know whether bringing in Soto was a good idea or not does anybody know the reason?

The part of order made sense. The idea of getting him back makes sense. He was better last two times. 
 

I just don’t think up 3 in this spot was worth it.

Soto better be buying Burch dinner tonight.

Don’t forget the Shoo-Fly pie to go with it

I don't think you can compete with two guys in the pen you don't trust, and it's really hard finding spots to use two such guys.
