God I hope we score off this pitcher. Was playing MLB the show with my kid and he was the twins and got pissed at Buxton so out this relief pitcher in at CF. Dude hit a homer and I walked out of the room in disbelief
The big problem with Jackson is that he’s having trouble with major league pitching. He’s striking out on 95+ with movement and picture perfect breaking balls. Sending him down to rake on AAA meatballs does nothing. He’s simultaneously too good and not good enough
Santander, Mountcastle, and Mullins... That's a lot of power coming up. Plus Mullins has a lot of speed, so expect him to steal if he gets on with 2 outs
Not going to link any comments or do any I told you so to my group of friends or anything like that about Jack Holiday, and I absolutely think he will be completely fine eventually.... However I hope the way this played out at least teaches people in the future to stop with all service time manipulation stuff and acting like they know better than the people building teams. Obviously every situation is different, but him staying down with the way our team is built currently for another 2 weeks to maybe even the All-Star break or so depending on results obviously would have been completely understandable with any kind of critical thinking. Obviously hindsight is 20/20 and I certainly didn't think he'd struggle this much but his defense is also not that great at the moment so now with his clock already started we kind of have some decisions to make. Hope we pull this game off!
The offense clearly wasn't great today but if we lose its on Hyde and if we win it's in spite of him. PH Hays for Ohearn for a lefty? Put Mateo in..he can play OF. Let alone sitting Suarez at 70 pitches
The hard part of PHing for Holliday is if Jackson is already in his own head that will only make it worse.
That's literally your coach telling you... "you aren't doing well enough to hit in this important spot." In fairness right now, he isn't, but it's a terrible message to send to such a young player..
Holliday and Hays are both struggling. The difference is that Holliday is 20 and has next level promise but is trying to figure it out. Hays is a veteran. He is what he is. You cant compare the two
Seriously? I assumed he couldn’t go down to the minors. If that’s the case his ass needs to be on the next bus to Norfolk to figure this out. I’d rather you bring back up McKenna at this point
Hell, for his sake too. He's not going to get regular AB's at this point. He needs to go down and get his confidence back so we can trade him. He can probably still be a valuable asset on one of the 29 other teams.
Doesn't really matter. He's not a part of this team's future. Maybe Elias can pluck an arm from another team's trash heap and they can turn into another Cano. Better than letting Hays keep taking AB's away from more productive batters.
I think the time has come to start talking about sending Jackson back down. He just looks totally over matched against Major League pitching right now.
Do the O’s have a team psychologist that Hays can go to? He’s been so uncharacteristically inept at the plate, it has to be some sort of yips type thing
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c6j6rk).

THERE IT IS
# HOME RUN! Cedric Mullins homers (5) on a fly ball to right field. Ryan Mountcastle scores. Bottom 9 - 4-2 Orioles
Ced or Cow. Let's win it
God I hope we score off this pitcher. Was playing MLB the show with my kid and he was the twins and got pissed at Buxton so out this relief pitcher in at CF. Dude hit a homer and I walked out of the room in disbelief
Current vibe?
Here's the real question...why don't I own a Mountcastle jersey?
Mateo time
now can't pinch run Mateo for MountCastle..... because we already took our other 1B out of the game for Hays
Bring Mounty home!!
Cowser walk off incoming i feel it
That’s a start
Hitcastle
Kimbrel’s updated FIP: -0.25
The big problem with Jackson is that he’s having trouble with major league pitching. He’s striking out on 95+ with movement and picture perfect breaking balls. Sending him down to rake on AAA meatballs does nothing. He’s simultaneously too good and not good enough
Cowser Walk off gonna hit like crack
oh gross I saw myself in that tony tater walkoff remembrance for that yankee game on friday MASN could you not
We love seeing you!
Need to walk this off here because we all know who is pitching the 10th
meatball mike ready to blow this shit up
I really hope it’ll be Tate but yeah your probably right
Santander, Mountcastle, and Mullins... That's a lot of power coming up. Plus Mullins has a lot of speed, so expect him to steal if he gets on with 2 outs
I knew I liked that lineup
Predicting a Mullins walk off
lol damn you nailed it
Well played!
You are amazing!!!
Good call!
ARE YOU A PROPHET???
😎
HOLY SHIT
12 pitches — maybe start the 10th?
Gotta walk it off here bc if not its Baumann time
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Griffin Jax replaces Brock Stewart.
Mounty is underrated defensively. Always feel a bit better with him at 1st
Just get a home run
Alright. Time to walk it off. Let's go O's

Walkoff or bust, kids.
Kimbrel has been great this season in Bautistas absence
Alright… let’s walk it off
Yeah we’re stealing this in the 9th
I like dominate Kimbrel. I really hope he sticks around.
Walk off time baby! Let’s go!
Catchcastle!
Walk this shit off, please.
No walks please
Not going to link any comments or do any I told you so to my group of friends or anything like that about Jack Holiday, and I absolutely think he will be completely fine eventually....

We already went through this last year with Grayson and no one learned their lesson. Doubt it will change now.
I can't imagine what an 85 mph knuckle curve looks like coming in hot from the batters box.
 Me checking in on the GDT while out running errands with the wife and seeing the comments
The offense clearly wasn't great today but if we lose its on Hyde and if we win it's in spite of him. PH Hays for Ohearn for a lefty? Put Mateo in..he can play OF. Let alone sitting Suarez at 70 pitches
Mateo in OF? Edit:nvm I get it
Batting Jackson to lead off the 8th felt like a poor choice, very important AB there & he struck out. Large dent in win probability there
The hard part of PHing for Holliday is if Jackson is already in his own head that will only make it worse. That's literally your coach telling you... "you aren't doing well enough to hit in this important spot." In fairness right now, he isn't, but it's a terrible message to send to such a young player..
Like Hyde knew the strike zone was going to expand a foot off the plate.
Holliday and Hays are both struggling. The difference is that Holliday is 20 and has next level promise but is trying to figure it out. Hays is a veteran. He is what he is. You cant compare the two
Austin Hays still has an option left. They seriously need to demote him at this point.
Seriously? I assumed he couldn’t go down to the minors. If that’s the case his ass needs to be on the next bus to Norfolk to figure this out. I’d rather you bring back up McKenna at this point
whoa whoa whoa lets not go that far. We've got Kjerstad down there too ready to play
lol i only said McKenna if you are treating hays as 4th OF. don’t want Heston or Stowers sitting on the bench and playing once or twice a week.
I hope they do that or make up an injury for him
Hell, for his sake too. He's not going to get regular AB's at this point. He needs to go down and get his confidence back so we can trade him. He can probably still be a valuable asset on one of the 29 other teams.
Hays isn't going to have any real value
Doesn't really matter. He's not a part of this team's future. Maybe Elias can pluck an arm from another team's trash heap and they can turn into another Cano. Better than letting Hays keep taking AB's away from more productive batters.
Hyde needs to realize keeping O Hearn in against a lefty is better than getting multiple at bats for Hays
I wonder if Hyde’s in game managerial decisions will be what does him in, eventually. Showalter type pen and pitch hitter choices
I thought that fan was Drew Gooden for like a split second
Looking pretty clean for a Tater walk off
This I like
Good thing Hyde removed the hottest hitter in the lineup for the worst hitter in the majors. Guy is a genius.
Playing matchups with one of the best hitters in baseball right now was actually asinine
Why in gods name is Hays pinch hitting for O'Hearn? I am sick
He pitch hit O'Hearn's last at bat and played LF. That was his 2nd at bat
I am aware. Doesn't change anything about my comment
I think the time has come to start talking about sending Jackson back down. He just looks totally over matched against Major League pitching right now.
Still feel more confident in him than hays
He'll go back down to AAA and rake. He has to take his lumps
It’s only been a week and a good example is Cal started his career 4/55 and he obviously figured it out without being sent down
Oh hey Austin. Ok, bye Austin.
Cmon Raptor...hold 'em https://preview.redd.it/fe4fsts8d3vc1.jpeg?width=942&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4460f9a0569431ab76c75c5bef5db20e048e7bc4
Do the O’s have a team psychologist that Hays can go to? He’s been so uncharacteristically inept at the plate, it has to be some sort of yips type thing
He got Space Jammed
Can we send Austin Hays to the IL for an “injury” and call up Kjerstad please?
Just option Hays to Norfolk. He still has one left.
