With a six run lead? No. Especially not since we didn't have anyone warm yet. Oh and the Orioles blew their load with pinch hitters. Now you can just go righty righty in subsequent innings and the Os have to take unfavorable matchups. Q played it right there. Sometimes the worst outcome happens. Oh and we still ended up two runs.

You're wrong up and down about the issue. You have conviction, but are still wrong. Teams don't simply give up on veteran relievers after 7 or 8 bad innings to start a year. [Reply]

I'll agree to disagree. He lobs 90 mph "fastballs" up there. Right in the middle of the plate. [Reply]

No no no, Matheny would never have pitched him. He would throw out the best bullpen guys we have and throw them until they broke down and couldn't pitch ever again after just one season under him. [Reply]
