justice98 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I would have bet money that they would go at least a week without a win. I did not think they'd be able to score enough runs. Going in, woulda pegged the over/under on runs that series at 7-8. Happ just didnt have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll shed tears that he's not making it down to Camden this week! And it's the "Injured List" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Villar says goodbye baseball to the opposite field. 2-0 Orioles. Then Mancini gets an infield hit. RBI walk by Davis and a wild pitch, 4-0 good guys. Hess on the mound throwing 95 mph heaters. Mullins HBP, moved over on a grounder, Villar singles to center, Mullins goes to third and comes home on a Mancini sac fly. When we got Villar last year I mentioned how he is a pretty good player. I am predicting him to have a big year. Yes, big year. Edited April 1, 2019 by abdcskins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play multiple infield positions, a little pop, can steal bases and hold his own with the glove. I’ll take 9 of him for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I don't like that move by Hyde 😑 He was only on 82 pitches. Kid had a no-hitter going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCSaints_fan Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Hess pulled for some reason in the 7th. And he was only at 82 pitches. Maybe Hyde is slave to the pitch count. Dang Araujo walks Smoak, now Blue Jays homer. 6-2. Edited April 2, 2019 by DCSaints_fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I’m confused as well. Maybe Hyde has marching orders for his pitch count from above? Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'm sort of sick right now. Why Hyde?!?! Once in a lifetime opportunity for Hess. At least we got a double play there. Get this damn W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No old school manager pulls his pitcher in that situation. If you're looking for a bellwether event that the O's in-game strategy has dramatically changed, this is probably it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I don’t think Hess was going deep in spring training. So the workload from 50-60 to 120 is pretty dramatic. I guess that’s where where we are in modern baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The more I think about it the calmer I get. Hess threw 2 innings on Thursday vs. the Yankees. It is the beginning of the season and you don't want to push Hess so much early on. Still, 82 pitches is what gets me. At least let the kid get to 100. I just think a no-no is special and you need to let Hess go for it if he wants it. He clearly did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskin4ever Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 3-1 to start the year. I am hoping these early wins builds confidence with these young guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Three things about Hess getting pulled. 1. It was idiotic to do it when he did. Either take him out before the 7th or let him finish the 7th. No need to go after the no hitter, but the justification to take him out in that moment doesn't make sense. 2. Next time don't use a starter as a reliever in the season opener for more than an inning if it's going to impact their next start. 3. In general Hyde has managed the bullpen poorly. I'll give him a pass but he's made some head-scratching decisions so far. Givens throwing 49 pitches and Bleier closing games are a couple examples aside from today.

Rocky21 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Looks like we're going to be over-relying on our pen this year....like last year...and the year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Nice start... be nice if it stays hot. Speaking of hot,, Adam Jones is cranking out homers in 'zona. Chris Davis on the other hand is on a blistering pace to go 0-fer 2019 Gonna be sore about this for a while i think. ~Bang Edited April 2, 2019 by Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
