Mychal Givens might be the most frustrating player on the Orioles today. His stuff is baffling. But every now and then, with the game on the line, Givens goes out there and lays an egg.
Last Saturday evening, Brandon Hyde called on his closer in the bottom of the ninth to shut the door on the Tigers. The Orioles were clinging to a 4-3 lead against the worst team in the league. Givens blew through the first two Detroit batters on a strikeout and lineout. Only centerfielder Victor Reyes stood between the Orioles and a win.
