re: Official O's 5 @ rangers 1 thread bot 9

I totally agree with Wash, Ham and Young not needing to be on this team next year. I think Wash has made a number of bad mistakes that have cost us numerous games. Is it me or does it feel like whenever he makes a move to the bullpen, that you just know we are about to give up some runs, especially with men on base. It's because he refuses to go with his hot hand or he takes starters out that have been pitching good games, Just to go to a lefty lefty or righty righty matchup. Koji has been our hottest and beat pitcher over the last month, he'll strike out the side one inning and he's out the next, but Wash refuses to use him earlier in games or for more than one inning! I don't care who is batting and what side they ate batting from, you use the hot hand and let them freaking pitch. Ron's decision making sometimes is just baffling to say the least. When u choke three years straight, u might want to start by looking at the manager and his decision making
