Wow. I still can't fathom wth DT thought he was doing. Just plain stupid, stupid, stupid :rolleyestf: He just effin' gave the game away. I have no faith in the 9th. How many pitchers will he use this inning?

Still can't get over it. You're supposed to minimize, not increase the chance that the other team will score.

Imagine how Bergy feels.

So many poor deicsions, I'd have given Bergeson one and only ONE base runner. If I brought Berken in, it would have been for the rest of the inning (at least). If I had brought DH in, same thing. I wouldn't have faulted him to much for either Berken or DH, I'm a hard lean to Berken because of DH's inexperience in the pen and guys on base. DH should be used with no inherited runners for awhile. If I brought Hendrickson in and he got in trouble and my only choice of relief was Meredith, I would have left Hendrickson in, but really if up to me I'd have brought in Ohman there. Just sooo bad.

At this point the team has to know that DT is making bad decisions. Is it just me or after every ridiculous pitching change is there a bad hop or a defensive misplay. It's like everybody is more tentative and the baseball gods punish us with a vengence.

Home plate ump's a bum also, squeezing Bergy, disgusting.

It definitely was. That should have been a K. Bergy had every right to be furious and yell at the ump like that after what happened.

Is Schmuck going to finally have the guts to actually analyze DT's managerial skills? Or do we get another piece about how "classy" DT has been through all this?

I never want to hear again that managers have no effect on games. Everyone on this board KNEW DT was doing the wrong things the moment he did them tonight. Sickening.

HEY, DT--Barton's up again, OMG: I was beginning this as a joke, I was going to tell DT, Hey, it's time to bring Castillo in, BUT I WAS JUST JOKING AND JUST THEN DT comes out and brings Castillo in.

Berken's ERA is 1.50 for crissake, he's been trained as a starting pitcher, he's been great against lefties, why why why was he yanked?!! There has to be some other reason beside the lefty-righty thing....

      No hitter through 6.  1 walk,  11 strikeouts but pitch count is around 100.  Will they bring him out for the 7th (Pirates lead 8-0)?

      Means vs. Miller (3-3, 2.66 ERA) ? vs. Castillo (4-5, 3.31 ERA) ? vs. Kirby (4-3, 3.58 ERA) Miller faced the O’s twice last year, allowing 3 runs in 4.1  IP the first time, 2 runs (1 ER) in 5.2 the second time.   Castillo allowed 1 run in 6 IP when we saw him in 2023.  Kirby faced us twice, allowing 3 runs (2 ER) in 6.1 innings the first time, and pitching a complete game, 3 hit shutout the second time, in which he faced only two batters over the minimum.    The O’s haven’t named their starters for Saturday and Sunday.  Irvin and Kremer are our most rested starters, but  Burnes also would be available by Sunday, and there has been talk that Grayson Rodriguez could be activated without a rehab appearance.   The Mariners are averaging 3.82 runs per game, 23rd in MLB, though they’re better on the road at 4.21 runs/game.  They have a 98 OPS+, 17th in MLB.  Their top hitters this year have been Josh Rojas (134 OPS+),  Cal Raleigh (120 OPS+, 10 HR, 24 RBI), Luke Raley (118 OPS+) and Dylan Moore (104 OPS+).  Julio Rodriguez has been quiet so far at 91 OPS+.   Seattle’s bullpen has the 8th best ERA in baseball at 3.27, slightly topped by the Orioles’ 3.23.   Our old friend Austin Voth has been a mainstay for the Mariners, posting a 3.12 ERA and 1.039 WHIP in 17.1 IP.  Andres Muñoz has been an effective closer, posting a 1.47 ERA with 11.8 K/9, saving 7 against 1 blown save.    With the Seattle starters and bullpen and relatively mediocre offense, and the O’s recent offensive slump and strong pitching, this figure as a low-scoring series, but we’ll see.

      Broadcast gun had Paul Skenes at 100 on pitch 100 as he notched his 11th strikeout wrapping up 6 no-hit innings. Pirates bullpen under the gun to continue it if they can.

      This offensive style is not sustainable

      By Hallas · Posted

      O'Hearn's statcast percentile bars are insane.  He's not swinging at balls out of the zone, he's squaring up everything, and he rarely whiffs.  I don't think I've ever seen a guy look this bad through his mid-20s and then flip a switch at 29/30.

      I like the Smashburgers from Baseline Burgers, and also the tacos at Vida Taco Bar.

      No hitter through 5.  1 walk,  10 K's on 81 pitches versus the Cubbies.  Not too shabby.
