The last hitter of the 6th hit a screaming liner to Davis.    The first hitter in the 7th hit a screaming liner to Martin.   His velocity was down about 2 mph from the start of the 6th.   It was a good time to pull him.    He wasn’t going 9 in any event.  

Gotta disagree, a good time to pull him is after he gives up his first hit.  Pitch count was not high, you can loose a team if you don't believe in your players.

I saw the contact and velocity as well, but it does not matter.  You keep him in until at least the first hit. This is simply not done. Ever. I am sorry, but this broke a cardinal baseball rule. I get the why, but still cannot agree with this move.

I don't recall when off hand but I have seen guys pulled before with intact no hitters.

Here, have a Fangraphs article on the subject:

I agree, wholeheartedly. What a Bush League move.

I said in the game thread that day Hess shouldn't be in the game. Another bad decision.

He had to pitch someone when you loose your opening day starter to injury and need to put him on dL.  Then your starter goes 4 innings and you are having a bullpen game the next game he was going to have to pitch about everyone in the first series to get innings.

It is really difficult for people who have known MLB when it was really MLB to believe the depths to which MLB has sunk.  .  For those who have not known any different, I guess they see nothing wrong with taking a Starter who was cruising on a low pitch count to a no hitter,  out of the game.  I think back when baseball was the sport that set itself apart from any other one, by being tough, real and one to be proud of.  I do not even want to think what would have happened if a Bob Gibson, Bob Feller, Robin Roberts, etc. would have had someone come out to the mound and even suggest that he come out when he was cruising to a no hitter with a comfortable lead.  All for the sake of what, pitch count?  Those guys back then would have told whoever was brave enough to try to take them out in a situation like that to stick it,  and many unprintable words.  Truly shocking.

If they are hurt, if they gave up a ton of walks and clearly laboring in the eighth,  it is not what we have here. One walk? You leave him in.

Check out the link I added.

It is no where near as rare as you seem to think it is.

I'd like to clarify, I'm actually not criticizing Hyde directly, and I don't think people should, because as is being pointed out on Twitter, he likely does not own this decision.

He’s the manager...

Really hate this kind of gatekeeping. When was it “really MLB?” At some point in between greenies and PEDs? Pre-Moneyball? Before the new-fangled home run?

    • Take this comment as being rude. But there is zero and I mean ZERO chance our starting 1st baseman and 4 hitter is traded. 
    • I’ve been intrigued by him since we drafted him. The k rate and ground ball rate is nice. Still a pretty high walk rate (5+ per 9). I wouldn’t mind him getting a look at some point, similar to krook, just to see how his stuff plays. We don’t have a ton of high k guys in the pen. His ability to provide length isn’t a bad thing either. 
    • I’m a bit confused by this post. Rainer is projected to be gone by 12 at the latest. He’s not going to be there at 22, and would be a huge OVERSLOT if he somehow was there. Mentioned in the same sentence as bonemer who was projected as a first round pick at one point but has fallen significantly. He could be an underslot, but the value of going underslot isn’t nearly as high at 22 as it is in the top 10 where you can save significant money.    I also don’t get the connection with Griffen and morlando. Griffen is like Rainer, almost sure fire top 10. Morlando hasn’t really been mocked as a first round pick at all lately. I would be shocked if morlando was not there at 22, but would also be pretty disappointed with him as the pick given there’s a decent chance he’s a lf or 1b only prospect who hasn’t lived up to hitting expectations this year.    that also seems like a real reach for Franco given where he’s ranked and mocked the last few months. If we take a hs outfielder, Slade Caldwell is the one I’d be interested in. Seen a comp or two to Corbin Carrol wi th a little less pop, which wouldn’t be bad to take a shot on and see what our development can do with. 
    • I firmly believe Elias is attempting to build a package around Mountcastle and Kjerstad w/ 2 to 3 lesser valued pieces in exchange for a good starter
    • And here is the coverage map to determine if Fox is airing out game where you live:  https://506sports.com/mlb.php
    • We probably need to consider who we want facing Soto out of the pen. We need a Soto stopper. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id1=soto--003jua&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_source=br&utm_campaign=2023_01_player_innernav_stathead&__hstc=107817757.2f3f33a24b44870ec4a577029c49e44b.1699920000170.1699920000171.1699920000172.1&__hssc=107817757.1.1699920000173&__hsfp=966217318 Those are his career stats versus all pitchers. He tunes mostly everyone up pretty good. Some lefties stand out though. More as SP though. Just something to think about for what it seems is an inevitable playoff showdown.
