I am so sick and tired of O's managers who can't pull the trigger on starting pitchers. Buck was like this. Tonight Hyde did it again for the I lost count time. Bottom of the 5th it's 0-0, Wojiehowski is starting his third time through the lineup and there is a lead off home run. Hyde in his typical fashion doesn't even have a reliever up, even though the starter is at 90 pitches. The next batter gets a hit and then Castro gets up. We're down 2-0 before we have a reliever even close to being ready.
This may be a rebuilding year, but the combination of Elias/Hyde has this, I've been as Orioles fan since 1963, ready to throw in the towel. Under the Peter Angelos ownership, this proud franchise has suffered an unendurable descent into ineptitude. I do not see Mike Elias/Brandon Hyde showing a path to even a .500 season anytime soon.
