Hyde not too pleased with his pitchers last night:

”Broken record. It sucks. It’s not even the big boys, either, which is pretty scary. They have a ton of power that’s not even in their lineup and they’ve hit 11 homers in two nights without (Giancarlo) Stanton and Edwin (Encarnación) and Gleyber (Torres) has got the side issue. So the other guys are hitting homers off our pitchers.

“It just shows you how long we have to go to be a competitive team in the American League East, and to have the pitching to be able to compete. Their guys are just way better than our guys.”

I like Hyde's occasional candor, but I don't think much of him as an in-game manager. Maybe he'll get better with some experience. And I realize that he's hampered by an overtaxed bullpen, a short bench, and a Rule 5 guy and Chris Davis taking up two spots. 

Nonetheless, I don't think the 2019 version of Hyde is a guy you'd want managing a team in a pennant race (if we ever do get there).

What can we even learn about his in-game management this season? There's nothing to manage, everyone is pretty bad.

Yeah this is where I'm at. I do think he has to learn where the players fit better and didn't know just from not being here (example Givens is a set up man). But when I think I don't like his bullpen management...I look at the bullpen and just laugh because there really is no management of this bullpen to improve it the slightest.

Well duh...

But Hyde is the guy who sent Hess out in the 9th inning. I’ve been told that Elias is in charge of the roster, both 25 and 40. So Hyde has the guys he has. But he should be either screaming and shaking fists or on his knees begging for some personell changes.

I don't know how I feel about a manager straight up saying that the players on his team aren't good enough - or that they aren't trying hard enough. Not really a good message to the players you have out there and are hoping to succeed.

I don't think that's an admirable quality, or even telling-it-like-it-is. Everyone knows the Yankees have a better roster than the Orioles. It's just bad clubhouse relations. If there's an issue, do it privately. I see no benefit coming from Hyde's angry outbursts.

I think Hyde would lose a clubhouse of veterans pretty quick if he continued to do his "not enough effort, appreciate the opportunity" stuff publicly.

Honestly, I can’t tell.    I feel like Buck would have gotten more out of our bullpen guys, but who knows?    Hyde doesn’t have a lot of great options out there.

    • I expect to win against the Orioles to win against any and all opponents. We have the better team against anyone and our rotation is not chopped liver. Reds have some good young starting pitching no doubt. But their lineup leaves a lot to be desired.
    • Yeah, not my favorite lineup as Santander is too high based on his performance at this time. don't like McKenna starting, especially at the same time as Urias in also in the lineup.  Just too many holes in this lineup that way, not that Mullins has been tearing it up, but I trust him more than McKenna for sure, even with a lefty out there.   But like last time when I said such a thing, watch us score 8-9 runs.  🙂   
    • Mullins has been struggling and there is a lefty on the mound today.
    • Oh sure, I'm very confident in Elias picking this low as I feel they do a good job of identifying what they like,  and it doesn't have to be just the top guys.  I won't be surprised at all if whomever they take ends up being better than expected for the slot they are picked in the end.   But it's just harder for me to keep up as the guy they draft is very unlikely to be someone I know much about.   When we are picking top 2-5 you really only needed to study 4 to 7 guys or so to be fairly certain you knew about who our guy would be.   Now there are probably 30ish guys who COULD go at number 22.  The top 10 will likely be gone and the guys after #40 or so won't be likely, but anyone in the 11 to 40ish range could be the pick of some fall or rise on our boards.  I'll be watching it closely on draft day,  but until then it's just too speculative to really dive into IMO. I do wonder how much harder it is to prepare for this kind of a draft as an organization.   When you are picking top 5, you can really narrow the focus down on 7-8 guys and really dive in deep to decide your board and who you take if available.  With being in the low 20s, you need to research many,  many more guys but probably not in nearly the depth you did while picking higher. 
    • There was a fair amount. A lot of posts said Burnes was just a replacement for Bradish who was destined for TJS, that we needed to sign Montgomery, and when we didn’t there was quite a bit of frustration. I also wanted Montgomery, but we seem to be doing just fine without him. 
    • It's no secret that Anthony Santander and Cedric Mullins are off to slow starts, one having a batting average of .206 and OPS of .665, the other with BA of .200 and OPS of .668. But if you think the Orioles are the only team with highly-regarded outfielders having their troubles, I give you the Rays and Randy Arozarena. Arozarena has batted twice so far today, striking out with two runners on base each time.  He is batting .138 with an OPS of .484.
