Now our mediocre bullpen has to cover 3 innings of a close game.

So does thier’s

Got the out, bit I still hate it.  Give the bullpen a frigging break and let Povich grow.  

That pitch was rolling through the pie hole of the plate screaming “destroy me!”

Is it possible that by taking him out, that increases the chance he could be available out of the pen if needed Wednesday or perhaps even Tuesday?

Could that be part of the thinking?

So Hyde lucks out yanking Povich. 

Does anyone think this bullpen can hold a 2 run lead?

Povich is going to be a stud. Love the kid, he’s a gamer

I don't get why Hyde took Povich out there.  He only gave up two hits and hadn't even thrown 80 pitches.  It's not like the bullpen hasn't seen much action lately.

3rd time thru order and Povich unable to locate changeup and was starting to lose zone with breaking balls, so was essentially becoming fastball only there.

Sure would be nice to get some runs here. Going to need to homer because we know this team will not get a hit with RISP.

Thielbar’s delivery looks just like Coulombe’s.

They didn’t have a choice.

In HydeWorld, it's more important to have the platoon advantage than to get more innings from a starter in there who's pitching really well.

This umpire is awful.

[Yossarian]

Jim continues to guess the mascot after Kevin told him the answer

[LGOrioles]

Looks like their one good offensive performance this week was in fact due to facing a starter with a 6 ERA since the ASB. 

[LGOrioles]

That’s better 

[Moshagge3]

MOOOOO left on left!
