    Check that...not a bottle of water but a beer can just missed Hyun Soo Kim in LF as he was making the catch
  • mhs95_06
    Some idiot tried to pick that high deep fly to left off by throwing a can of beer at it. Must have come close to hitting it according to the reaction of the LF. I wonder what the call would have been had he hit it, or worse yet just ticked the ball and put out the LF's eye. I hope they can identify the culprit and eject him and ban him for life.

    Batter out from what I understand.
  • Ironman92
    Would be tough to give up a run in the 8th in a win or go home and Britton unused in the pen.
  • Ironman92
    ...and a double play lol

    In Buck we trust
  • Ironman92
    This guy is nasty but if they lose and don't pitch Britton, wow
  • Ironman92
    Crazy. Buck wins again.
  • mhs95_06
    Need to save your closer on the road to pitch the bottom of the inning when you take the lead. Each team has used 5 pitchers, and have 5 left. How many innings will the Jays pitch their closer? Buck made the right decision again to walk Edwin E. to set up the DP and pitch to Joey Bats.
  • Ironman92
    I disagree. Britton is the best pitcher, he should be used in the biggest moment and can go 2 innings.

    You gotta get to the closing chance first...that can't be done if the game is over. Game might go on for a while....going to guys in the bottom portion of your pen over Britton because it's not a save situation?

    I agree with this. No reason to not use Britton

    Now Ubaldo in throwing 90 mph and 26/30 successful SB attempts
  • mhs95_06
    Looks like Ubado doesn't have it! Closer now?
  • Mulva
    Ubaldo is such trash
  • Crimson streak
    That's why you pitch Britton.. stupid

    Use enough pitchers and eventually one won't have it!

    Britton faced 254 batters this year and allowed 1 HR. Pitched 67 innings and gave up 4 ER

    ERA+ 826
    FIP 1.94

    There is no argument for using 6 pitchers AFTER the starter was removed and 1 of them wasn't the best relief pitcher in baseball.
  • mhs95_06
    That is why batting last is such a big advantage. Home field is more valuable in Baseball than any other sport because it is a stategical advantage in addition the the fan support advantage and the ballpark familiarity advantage.
  • Heretic
    Lol, didn't pitch arguably the best closer in baseball this year and lost. Derp.
  • bases_loaded
    That's a fireable offense right?

    There is an argument, maybe not the best argument here, but I thought you trusted Buck! I thought Buck was one batter late getting Tillman out, and should have had Britton in for that last batter.

    I don't believe another manager in baseball gets this Orioles team to the playoffs....but in the last 2 innings of this game he could've used me to help him not overthink things lol.

    yup, wow...Buck screwed up last night, plain and simple--but it's always easy to look at the results and say that--it has to be tough to make a decision that backfires, especially on a big stage like that.
