Yup. If this game doesn’t matter enough to yank Burnes after 69, it doesn’t matter enough to drive 2 important bullpen arms further into the ground. So now they’re not useful for tomorrow or maybe even Saturday, too, on games that still absolutely matter! 

It matters. The playoffs matter more.

I’m assuming there’s no injury with Burnes? Just out after 5 to stay fresh for game 1?

Per radio, this was being talked about in the dugout with Burnes, Hyde and French. It was decided to let Burnes rest the remainder of the game as to be fresh for game 1 of the WC series.

You know what they say. Momentum is only as good as your next game’s starting pitcher…presuming they aren’t yanked early.

Welp my postings are done for this season. The O’s took the season series against these mf

Would you rather have Judge or Ohtani on your team?

[forphase1]

Just walk him every time.  Geez.

Judge.

Ohtani, if he can pitch. If not, Judge. He’s a cheat code.

This hasn't gotten real until Emmanuel Rivera pitches.

One more run and we just might see him. Let Baker finish this out the other relievers need rest and it's not like he's going to be on the playoff roster.

Are you watching on a delay?

Yeah, right before the blow up. See my prior post. Taking game talk to live playoffs at Oriole Park. No more game posts until next year.

But in Hyde's defense -- who should he have brought there in instead?  I guess maybe Baker but in only a one run game in Yankee Stadium he's certainly not ideal either.  A lot of relievers have been used lately.  Elias needs to construct a better bullpen next season and beyond.

If you’re pulling Burnes after 5 anyways to save him, why are you running 2 of your better relievers into the ground? Webb, Akin, and Soto are down. Coulombe may or may not be available. That leaves Baker, Bowman, and Dominguez. Just let Baker go 2 innings (like he pretty much just did anyways). Instead he brought Cano in for the 4th time in 5 games against the pocket in the lineup he just struggled against Tuesday.

Kjerstad and Holliday better get some ABs

He was facing top of order. The pen has been pushed hard. It was the 6th. You don’t ditch Cano because of two nights ago. 
 

Cano threw 50 pitches last 3 times out. Not like he is overly taxed. 

I’m not saying you ditch him. But if you’re limiting your ace, why are you running one of your best relievers into the ground? There wouldn’t be an argument if Burnes wasn’t pulled at only 70 pitches when he was absolutely dealing.

It's over now. To think Soto is one of the most trustworthy bullpen options at this moment.

We need a hot BP option. A bit scary going into next week. Hyde was working the transition, Hope experience plays out.
