I believe it was illegal to pinch hit for Eloy the first time through the order. The Earl Weaver Rule. Around 1980-82 time frame, Earl often had a platoon at DH.   Crowley or Dwyer from the

I don't think they're mooing Kimbrel.

If he can't perform because of crying babies then he should be sleeping in a hotel the night before his start at the very least.  He's supposed to be an ace on a team fighting for a pennant and h

That’s exactly how I have felt about Harbaugh for years.   

They both have no feel for the game, inflexible, just no sense for the situation they are faced with.

I get it, they are rewarding him for the crappy teams he had to manage but we keep getting too many examples of this.  I don’t think he’s the guy for the team at this point in time. 

To be fair to Hyde, this team is not the same quality as it was last year. He has had them hanging around despite all the injuries. The Harbaugh comparison may not be fair-fetched (other than Harbaugh actually has a trophy). I think they are good motivators and run a tight ship. But only average XO managers.

It's one bad game against a hot hitting team.  If he's still shaky after tonight then there should be more concern, but still, it's not like top pitchers don't go through some tough stretches as well.  

It's not that he had a bad start, its how he had the bad start. Veteran ace pitchers limit damage. Veteran ace pitchers do not give up 4-runs with two outs an inning AFTER his team fought to get back in the game. 

After giving up the run, he lost his composure and dropped in a cookie for the 3-run homer. 

Veteran Ace pitchers are supposed to control their emotions better.

He has given up 1 run 9 of the 25 starts pretty good if you ask me.  

Pretty good, but not great. His ERA is now over 3. That's approaching middle of the pack for an ace.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What do you mean starting for Slater? He is not a starter. The Ragans matchup makes things interesting because he has reverse splits. I don't know the numbers but they need to start the guys with good numbers vs Ragans and/or LHP changeups, whether they are LH or RH.

      Perhaps. I'm just saying he could stop the Chiefs, the Raiders disaster, and the Cowboys debacle certainly gave me pause.  Last night they certainly looked better, but the first 3 games gave me pause. I think we'll know more after a full season.

      Observations at the end of the regular season....

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      1. If the Orioles had signed Jack Flaherty, Seth Lugo and Chris Sale to bolster our pitching staff last off-season, this place would have gone ballistic, and not in a good way. 2.  The Orioles ended the regular season last year flat as a pancake, and it carried into the offseason.  This year, while under the pressure of trying to keep up with the Yankees, the team struggled mightily to find consistent offense and any overall consistency.  Once that pressure waned with us knowing our destiny, guys seemed to loosen up, and we saw the offense come back.  I thought that might happen.  However, my question is, after laying an egg in the playoffs last year and recent struggles despite the last two series, does the pressure of the postseason put us back in the funk we saw throughout most of August and September? 3.  I've seen a consistent theme in this forum over the past week or two which is this:  "All we have to do is get hot at the right time, like Texas did last year."  While I agree that's true, and want us to be that team this year, isn't that statement kind of an admission that without getting hot, we're not good enough on our own merits to persevere in the tournament?  And before I get crucified for saying that, I'll point to what everyone has witnessed in recent months:  Bad/inconsistent bullpen, inconsistent offense, questions about our starting pitching, defensive lapses and being prone to not showing up offensively.  And please, let's not act like some, or all of these, don't exist.   That all being said, Go O's!!!!!  Let's get hot!!

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good. Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him. I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.

      Would be upsetting to start Slater in any playoff game at this point. Even if you think Mullins/Cowser cant hit LHP (news flash Slater cant either)- keep the defense and the guys who "got you there"

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By terpoh · Posted

      If the point was "Skubal is better" you kind of proved that for them. More innings, more K's, less ER, less Walks, less hits, better W/L. Across the board. Ragans is very very very good- but Skubal is better, and the runaway for AL Cy Young. Either is capable of shutting down an offense- and Ragans did just that earlier this year. But we also roughed up Ragans in the other start. No matter who we face, we're going to find things that make it tough, its the playoffs. Lets keep playing good ball and get payback for 2014.
