Fry should not have even started that inning. Down 6, that's the perfect time to give Sceroler a clean inning. Fry sucked and put him in a bind, but why are using a pitcher that you would pull for Judge that early in the game already down by 6? 

 

My guess is he was trying to get Fry back on track, but I say Fry is broke and needs to be cut. Otherwise I fully agree the kid should have started that inning.

He had 3 innings to get thru. Fry for one and the kid for 2 was probably plan. How does he know Fry will stink ? He hasn’t pitched. Needs work.  
 

Armstrong used

No way Valdez, Scott, Plutko 

Wells went yesterday. 
 

Leaves start of 6th Fry, Tate, Sceroler and LeBlanc are options. Go back to Wells? 
 

I think Armstrong was put in rough spot. I’ll agree there. 

[eddie83]

Finish this inning clean. 

[eddie83]

Tiring. 

[eddie83]

What a night. 

[Il BuonO]

Well done, kid.

As was the case on Saturday when the semi-finals Final Four was being played, the Orioles game is more important than the NCAA title game today ...... because I said so.

He should of let the kid start the inning when they were down 6. Let him start a clean inning, but to bring him in with bases loaded against Aaron Judge is just an awful decision no matter how it turned out. I actually lost respect for Hyde's understanding of the game for allowing that to happen. Sure, he got out of it because Judge was a guessing idiot for some reason, but no way a Rule 5 pick should make his debut in that situation. Just crazy.

It’s obvious that our manager thought that Armstrong, even as weak and worn out as he would be after just welcoming a baby into the world, was less risky than the rule five guy.

The real problem was that he should’ve pulled Lopez at the first sign of trouble.

Remember he knows Lopez his limits, he knows the signs that he’s getting tired,, he pulled him too late

I get why Sceroler was next, but he should have never have even been in that situation in the first place with any kind of foresight. LeBlanc is out there as well and could have been used if Sceroler sucked. Either way, you don't start with a vet and assume if he sucks you bring the kid into a mess in his major league debut.

It was was terribling managing. The more I see of Hyde the more I'm starting to think he struggles with having a good feel for the "what ifs". The manager's job is to put his players int eh best position to succeed. Vet managers don't do that to their rookies.

It worked out, but that’s about the only thing anyone can say regarding the move. Truly, a horrible decision....

Hmm, there's a strange Odor at Yankee Stadium.

That is the number one possibility.
