Should Urias scored on Mullins single in the fifth? On TV it looked like a hit off the bat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnar probably senses the hit and goes for it. However, you have to be sure because you have a 65% chance of scoring on the next play. Ramon obviously wasn't sure.

Also, the wind knocked that ball down. Mullins has been playing in that park for 6 years. He knows a HR off the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit of a tough read. I wish Urías had read it better, but I wouldn’t say it was a huge screw up, either. A lot of players would have done the same.

You have your ace on the mound dealing against the opposition ace who was looking super sharp as well. Move Ced to 3rd with your best two hitters coming up. Take the 1-0 lead. McCann can certainly bunt. Last season he got a bunt down in a game in Tampa that would have hit him in the face if he would not have made contact with the ball. Unfortunately small ball is not in Hyde's DNA. This team has not been good at producing runs in these situations. Homers are great but so is advancing runners via productive outs and this team stinks at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his lack of speed I believe he would have been out easily on a good throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was egregious to not have McCann attempt to bunt over Mullins after his leadoff double. It was was apparent by that point of the game it was going to be low scoring and it was an opportunity to get on the scoreboard first. Yes McCann has been great recently, but odds are his September hot streak wasn't going to last forever and it was only 34 at bats. If the Orioles offense was humming today then let McCann swing away.

I agree with you, but the guy sitting behind me was adamant that it was a triple to include several loud F-bombs to apparently emphasize how sure he was. Of course, he was one of those guys who spent the entire game pontificating loudly so that we could all admire his vast knowledge of baseball strategy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure everyone in that section left the stadium a better bowler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
