I'm surprised they are letting him pitch the 7th, he was at 88 pitches going into the inning, seems a bit dicey to let him continue. Probably will relieve him this inning. 

Just talking about this with a buddy- Hunter Brown seems like he's done a pretty shitty job of finishing games, almost like the anti-JV (JV can smell the barn and gets you there with another gear).  I don't know if the stats hold true but I think this is the case- I remember a couple starts against the A's, the Rockies, now this one.  He seems like an 80 or 90 pitch 6 inning guy to me.  Maybe I've pulled that out of my ass, but I think he ought to be treated as such in the playoffs.

Fuck it, he's getting Machete's nickname now.  I think the Orioles haven't realized Maldonado isn't catching today.  Both guys were out by a mile.

BUT MUH INTANGIBLES!

Not that it has been defensible for a while now, but how does Dusty justify starting Maldy over Diaz after today?

live boy/dead girl

yainer just took one to the wall.  i don't care if he ever catches again (obviously i do) but he needs to be our everyday dh.  we need his bat in this lineup 8 days a week.  a blind man could tell you that.

Singleton continuing his stellar AAAA career... but still gets on base

Shitty strike out on a ball way off the plate

That was...special

But Dusty said he has the same stats as Maldy

Judging by the stats of his last 8 or so games, he's good for about 88-95 pitches or so, then you have to replace him. That's pretty standard for most starters, their arms get tired and lose a bit of control around 90-100.  Inning count shouldn't matter, just gotta know when to pull them. It's a guy feeling thing, but maybe Maldy should make the call since he knows everything about pitchers.

Blum's daughters are going to Arkansas?  Gross

i want him to be justin verlander when he grows up, but if he's a 90 pitch / 6 inning guy right now (allowing ~2er and getting 5-7k) then i'm fucking stoked.  he's our sp4 at best, assuming javier ever pulls it together.  most teams would kill for that profile.

in the playoffs, i'd like him to be a flamethrower who can get 3-6 big outs in the middle/middle-late innings.  i've only been begging for such a piece for half a decade now.

Yordan with the go ahead HR today?

Alt I’ve could’ve hit for the cycle if would have been hustling

Shit, that should have trickled away and tied it

One more walk big boy

Getting to Bautusta a 2nd time in the series was a long shot at best. Baltimore is a good team, so no shame losing to them, but still a shitty loss in a game they could have won. Singleton doing Singleton things to end the game. 

Singleton up with game on the line was not ideal lol

Way too big a situation for singelton 

2/3 vs league’s best is good. Need to sweep the angels this weekend.

yeah not the ideal batter in that situation

Oh absolutely no doubt. 

It’s sad we made singleton our bat we “traded” for instead of actually trading for a MLB DH that can hit. Why would we do that?

So it goes, I guess. One way better hitter than him crashed and burned in the 9th as well.

No, Jake, not you.

You can say that again. I have.

Same old bitches back in the thread after a close loss.   Astros are 7 of last 10 and just took 2 of 3 from the team with the best record in the AL.  Singleton did the same thing in his 9th inning AB as Yordan did and reached base the same number of times as Yordan today.  It's baseball.

Get some perspective, dumbasses.

Yordan also has a history of dropping his  nuts in big games and singleton has a history of not making it so yea not the same thing. But I see your point.

this game wasn't about the 9th.  it was about the 7th and mountcastle hitting that homer.  coming back from 3 down again late was going to be a problem against arguably the best bullpen in the league.

(i know the nyy have the best bullpen era but not sure there's a better tandem of cano and felix back there)

We’re on a good run, heating up. Strong showing in Baltimore. Bring it home and rack up some W’s 

Look man- their guy has given up like 10 runs in 50 innings or something and we’ve got 5 of them in 2 innings against him. Their strength is the back end of the bullpen and we’ve put some doubt in their mind. 
this was a pretty successful series.
