The fumble was on Rosengarten. He let Chris Jones to the outside when Faalele was supposed to be helping him to the inside. Really awful play by Rosengarten.
Except Hyde has done EXACTLY just that - he plays waiver wire nobodies like Rivera and Maton over Coby Mayo. And a trash trade acquisition in Jimenez (who should be on waivers) over Mayo at the DH spot as well. And Hyde played a former waiver wire pickup in O'Hearn over Kjerstad. As if O'Hearn is some sort of established star.
O'Hearn has a .658 OPS over the past 30 days, and a .729 OPS in the 2nd half this season after a .756 in the 2nd half in 2023 - so he's had two straight seasons of significant 2nd half declines.
O'Hearn doesn't deserve to be treated as some sort of established commodity, but Hyde does so to the team's detriment.
Not playing and developing a top 10 hitting prospect in all of baseball in Mayo is irresponsible and egregiously terrible roster management by Elias and Hyde. Especially considering awful players like Rivera and Jimenez are getting playing time over him.
Again, it couldn’t have been said better. Gunnar is in his second year and will more than likely get better at everything he does as a baseball player. Which is something to look forward to.
