We are discussing an obvious stupid decision on a board with people that just relish in disagreement. 

Guy I know posted on FB the other day “I went over to the OH the other day looking for insight...and well learned my lesson there, I don’t know what I was thinking”

Our combined no hitter was unique because Milacki couldn’t go more than 4-5 ever. This is not that. And even if it was...you let him finish because it doesn’t matter to us, but it matters a hell of a lot to David Hess.

Sometimes there aren’t 2 sides to an issue...one side must argue alone for their jollies.

What a bunch of bull hockey.   I just hate it when people can’t accept that there are two sides to an issue because of their own feelings.   Don’t insult me by telling me I’m arguing just to argue.   The manager, Jim Palmer, Rick Dempsey and lots of posters agree with our side of this argument.   If you want to argue the other side, go ahead, but don’t tell me why I’m making the opposite argument.    I’m doing it because that’s what I believe, for the reasons I gave.

I've always thought that a guy making a start after a no-hitter almost always has a poor outing.  

I have no idea, but that would be significant because why?.

From a human perspective, how about the fact that it's game 4 and both Elias and Hyde are new at their jobs and are going to err on the side of caution? And, they are in charge.

Probably Elias more than Hyde is behind this decision, but I won't pretend I have any insight into how they're managing things.  I just assume something like that come from the top.  In any case, Elias was hired for a certain approach and expertise, which I think is what we're seeing here, and he should be judged over a few years of making thousands of decisions, and not just pulling Hess.  It still triggers my Mother's Day Massacre PTSD.

Doesn't make sense to have both Alberto and Jackson on the team.  Pick one of them and send the other packing.

Jackson has much higher upside. Alberto is a better shortstop. THis team is going nowhere. they can write new rules.

Me either. And I do agree. Chris Ray.

They must like Alberto to some extent. 

I think they are rolling the dice trying to keep Araujo. Once he goes then another arm with length can come on board. 

I still think oddest decision Hyde has made all year was using Hess 2 innings on Thursday. It made no sense.

It wouldn't be.  Not everything needs to have significance.

I think he is trying to say that to throw a no hitter is so much stress on your arm you have a dead arm.  Never mind that guys used to throw complete games regularly.

So, if the team is as bad as pretty much everyone in baseball has predicted them to be,  you're going to blame it on this,  rather than having the worst roster in all of MLB?  Quite the limb you're going out there on. 

Geez. I'll bet there are quite a few players that were shocked about Hess getting pulled. Will it affect the Orioles final record? Maybe, but most likely not. But it might affect the players in the clubhouse. I love how comments around here get overblown. I have my opinion and you have yours. Let's leave it at that.

Can't give anymore rep, but....yeah, you've got enough already

in fact very few things do. Chance and fortune have much more to do with outcomes or futures.
