Weiters looked like carp in that AB.

He was swinging before the pitcher released the ball on the 3-0 pitch, and was fooled badly on the final pitch.

Toronto has thrown beer bottles on the field in 30% of their home playoff games

WTF.

Is TBS delaying this online?

They are just now going to the bottom of the ninth on my broadcast

A lot of our batters usually swing and miss badly on those pitches.

wow

If the Orioles lose, they cannot blame their pitching like all the misinformed keeping doing

The Os pitching has been excellent for the last 2 month

The problem is they are free swinging fools who cannot manufacture any run ever

Either it is a homerun or get shutout

That sucks ass

3 combined walks, one was intentional through 10 innings

pretty much sums up these two fatally flawed and undisciplined one-dimensional offenses

O'Day is murder on righties, but I think Buck knew it was likely going extras so he wanted to take his chances with Brach/O'Day. With who is on deck, we may see O'day another inning.

I just don't know how u go down without your best pitcher. britton has to start that inning

Just lucky that Trumbo hit that line drive out of the park. Other than that, our offense has been non-existent. I really wish that most of these guys would be more selective at what they swing at (Jones, Machado and Davis to name a few) instead of free swinging at anything within five feet of the plate.

This guy is - sadly - absolutely 100% correct.

Holesy shits. So great.

I think you got to trust your big dog relievers to go two innings in the playoffs if you really think they're tier 1 like Brach. If it doesn't work out, you had a matchup advantage with O'Day. Maybe I am being an apologist here, but I don't think Britton is neccessary at that time however unpopular it would be if they lost. Have to think extra innings and Liriano isn't that good. Longer this goes the more O's friendly this game is gonna get.

Baltimore has got to find pesky guys who can get on base in the off-season

Use some of the MATT WIETERS money for a glue guy who can get a walk here and there

They are not worthy of winning anything with this style of play

They never get to full counts

it is swing, swing, swing, swing, swing every time on every single pitch

 

[chillerdab]

2 on, nobody out, is NOT a time to go to the best closer in the game?!?!

I beg to differ.
