I feel like most of their issues start and end with Cashman.
The Yankees -- and the Mets -- need to draft and develop more like the Dodgers and Braves. I think Cashman did a good job for a long time but they need to get a lot younger and cheaper.

I don't see how Boone is NY's manager next year
Not Boone's fault but you may be right

Why take O'Hearn's bat away from a 3-2 game in the sixth-inning? I don't like that at all.
Agreed

Whaddya expect when Adam Frazier isn't in the lineup?

We have seen this with every pitcher on this team .. starter sailing along then it seems they suddenly lose complete control of the strike zone
I mean pitchers get tired but Kremer hadn't even reached 80 pitches when he started that inning. It's been awhile since I've seen any O's starter lose it so suddenly like that. He's been a little shakier lately but he was great against the Phillies and a bit further back in NY against the Yankees. He just kind of inconsistent.

Is that Mitch Hedburg?

Gotta pull him. He's lost his command.
-
Mets number 9 hitter has a BA of .000 and Kremer walked him. And then the leadoff guy. Hate that kind of stuff. Doubt he stays in much longer.

Unfamiliar lefties so often give the O's trouble.

Except for the one walk off...he hasn't done much all year...I dont get why he plays...id rather get Cowser going at the plate..
McKenna is the better CF and he hits lefties pretty well.

Based on the unusual lineup tonight, I would guess the data analysis was undecided about which way to go, so it looks like they split the difference. O’Hearn is in the lineup but Frazier is not. Also, McKenna and no Cowser.
Yeah good point. If he is a reverse splits kind of starter you'd expect Frazier in there over Westburg, especially as hot as Frazier has been. Guessing there are some other analytics in the decision making too.

Peterson is the Mets starter. He does better against righties than lefties which is the reverse of what you would expect.
Oh gotcha. Well that didn't stop Hyde from putting McCann and McKenna in the lineup. Fingers crossed.

Peterson is a reference splits guy.
Who is Peterson? And what do you mean by reference splits?
-
Just noticed Mateo isn't starting against a lefty pitcher. That's not a good sign for Mateo.

With a force at home?
True, but I wouldn't be suggesting it if it were someone else at the plate. And it would completely catch the Jays off guard.

McKenna just so awful...
McKenna is a platoon hitter at this point. He wouldn't be in there against a strong righty if Cowser had shown anything at all at the plate. Even if it is a squeeze play he maybe should be bunting.

Scherzer gave up 6 hits and 2 walks to the White Sox in his first two innings for the Rangers. Only down 3-1 thanks to a DP and 4 LOB.
I doubt Scherzer was on anyone's radar on this board or on the Orioles. Could be wrong but I think it was more Verlander.
-
DL Hall because this team needs pitching. With the exception of Ortiz, the others just take away at-bats from players who have contributed to this team's winning.
Unless he gets traded in the offseason, Ortiz will have Mateo's job soon enough. I like Mateo and think he deserves at-bats against lefties, but he had been glad with the glove lately. If he keeps that up he will get cut. He might get cut anyway since I'm not sure he's tradeable at his salary.

To this day, I cant believe they traded Gausman for so little....and others traded too...
He was even worse with the Braves than he was in Baltimore. They let him go off waivers. He found his groove in SF.

I've never thought Hyde has had much regard for managing pitchers' psyches. Plenty of people here will tell you tough stuff and that they have to suck it up. Which, okay. But pitchers are fragile, fickle creatures. Most of them don't admit it, but maybe something about Fuji being from Japan frees him from the macho man routine and allows him to be honest about the stresses that pitchers face and how it affects their approach/control.
I realize we only have him for a half season, but if you want this guy to be able to contribute in October, I think you have to build him up. Putting him into these situations could be counterproductive in the long run. I don't think he's a guy who is going to learn from a trial by fire or failing forward.
The problem is there is no long run with this guy. Unless they desire to re-sign him, which right now appears pretty unlikely, he's a rental.

If in 1983 the Orioles had a kid hitting .330 in AAA but they kept hitting a .220 Dauer I would of been furious. The thing about 83 I wouldnt of know anything about the kids in the minors.
Mateo has a .784 OPS against lefties. That's why he's in there.

only care about this year and his ground ball rate in a spot starter, reliever role at zero cost and zero risk.
He's pitched well this year but only in AAA. He hasn't pitched in the majors since last year.

Keuchel opted out i wonder if he would be an option as a lefty out of the pen, with ability to start a game or 2
Have you looked at his numbers the past couple years? He's toast.
-
He started the season pretty slow but not too bad and then had a terrible June and July. He's been OK against lefties though not great. Hopefully some struggling team that's could use a right handed DH type will give him a shot. Hard to believe his skills are completely gone this fast.
