Another reactionary thread from Roy. It is the same situation that everyone complained about in the wildcard series where Britton wasn’t brought in to hold the tie. Yes, Kimbrel has been spotty and struggled last night but it wasn’t a terrible decision to bring him in. Hindsight is 20/20. Cano would have been my option but all well. The team just needs to get their shit together as a whole. It is a team game and sometimes one guy messes up, it is just more impactful when it is a pitcher and when it is a closer. -
Only reason the Orioles are still in first place is because the Yankees have imploded as well. The Orioles have been playing very bad baseball for more than a month. How likely is it that they will turn it around? That's what people are asking. Elias is clearly concerned, as he is working the phones hard. -

You were getting Kimbrel in the 9th or 10th. -

49 pitches in 2 nights is very heavy usage for a guy like Kimbrel. Kimbrel with his repeated collapses earlier in the year sent the strong message that he can't be trusted with heavy usage. I guess he's ok w/ back to back appearances if they are quick appearances, but Hyde should have known that he was asking for an explosion by having Kimbrel pitch the day after he threw 28 pitches. Why not use Cano who only threw 6 pitches yesterday? -
He batted Mullins for Norby, who is doing better at the plate, just for match-up purposes. He brought Kimbrel in a hihg-leverage situation after throwing 29 pitches the night before. So at least two times.

It does amaze me when there is adversity people want to fire people. The Orioles are still in first place. Agree if they don’t make the playoffs then there is legitimate arguments for changes. The players have to execute as well. Gunnar is a great player and to me is feeling the pressure and has made some youthful mistakes. I don’t think you can blame the manger for that. Kjersted just totally missed a ball he should have caught. The critics here universally want to jettison the veteran players like Hayes (gone), Urias, and Mateo for the younger top prospects in the minors. Norby, Kjersted, and Mayo. Well they may trade away Mountcastle and bring Mayo up but do you think the first base defense will get better? That is a lot of youth. Careful what you wish for.
