Game Thread: AL Wildcard Game: O's @ Jays

[Fountain City Blues]

Toronto is coming after O'Day with the bench it looks like. Carrera is hardly threatening even though O'Day is really a Roogy at this point. Smoak maybe is a threat however.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

352 wOBA to lefties
282 to righties for O'Day

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

Well, one reason Camden Yards wasn't full when Adam Jones got upset (late September), is b/c pretty much everybody who follows the O's knows they aren't built to win the series. They need pitchers who can eat up innings, and they need on base percentage. They've needed those all year.

Man I was trying to go to bed early and this game decides to go extras lol

oday bails buck out

How?

It was a fine decision. Brach wasn't overworked. It's tough risking O'Day or Britton with a game that could keep going.

Brach has been solid against those big boppers. Bautista owns O'Day. O'Day owns the bottom
Of their order.

Buck has made two pitching changes for instant Dps. I think he's pushed the right buttons

I would've much rather they had used the money they signed Davis with and used it on Cespedes when they had the chance. That way we would've had Trumbo at first all season Pedro would've gotten more at bats being the full time DH. Davis has hurt the offense as much as helped. With Mancini ready to come up, I wouldn't hesitate to trade Davis this offseason.

 

[chillerdab]

Nobody is going to take that contract

its great move because it worked. I couldn't go down with the best reliever in the bigs sitting in the bullpen

Durn, I gotta pee/go to bed guys!!! Come on...

I don't mind the Davis strikeouts as much, because he does hit 35-45 homeruns, and walks a lot.

He is the only guy who walks at all. Plus, he is a powerhitting cleanup guy. You expect that from them.

Jones and Schoop are the one who piss me off the most with freeswinging nonsense.

Adam Jones is a leadoff hitter who is deathly allergic to WALKS and STOLEN BASES.

Probably not unless there's a lot of money relief.

You're on the road. Use Britton against 3 power righties can still hit one mistake. He played the numbers

I've been annoyed at Jones for years since it looks like he's trying out for the PGA tour with some of the stuff he swings at. I was hoping that he'd have gotten better at pitch selection by this point but it looks like he's not ever going to change his approach.

Reimold is fucking terrible

Os can't hit

I just don't see why Reimold's sorry ass holds a roster spot

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Would've much rather have seen Stubbs instead of Reimold there. Reimold, Flaherty and Joseph should remain on the bench at all times.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Reimold is a little better defender. Buck wanted his big arm now that smallball can win it for Toronto.

Kim has a weak arm and cannot cover any ground.

But, that was a pathetic pinch hit regardless.

brittons gotta be hurt
