The second guessing Hyde thread.

Well, that just goes to show Hyde’s incompetence in managing this bullpen. Two days in plenty for a reliever to rest! Give me a break! 

He had one day rest. Threw Thursday. 
 

It’s a long year.

Yeah, sometimes a manager puts a pitcher in, and that pitcher gives it up.  A lot of you guys are acting like it's unforgivable.

People are saying that Hyde got outmaneuvered. Righties had a .649 OPS against Coulombe coming into tonight. He doesn't have the insane numbers that he does against lefties, but it's not like Coulombe against a righty is an automatic hit. 

Danny just made an absolutely awful pitch. When Pillar sees that smiling bird on the opponents' caps he has a whole other level.

Yep.  Sometimes it’s on the players, not the manager.

Every one of you was ready to bash Hyde for using Perez in a 1 run game and he came through.

He went to a pitcher who has been good this year and he blew it. It happens.

This is the worst thread on here outside of every game thread.

Cry me a river!

Thursday

I know, the days probably all blend together when you're retired. 

Yep! I was thinking today was Friday.

Grayson went 3.2 IP Thursday with an 8-1 lead. 
 

If he goes 6 IP, heck 5 IP that’s 4 less outs from the pen. Perhaps changed the entire set up for tonight’s game. 
 

Pen has had an off week and we are 3-2. Baumann wasn’t good Tuesday with a huge lead. It happens.

It’s basically always on the players.  Even if the manager makes a “wrong call”, the players can, you know..perform like they are paid to.

Right, and he had all day today. Does this day not count?!

Its called venting.  It probably very healthy way to blow off tension.  I dont know why people act like spouting off is wrong.  If we cant bitch to fellow Oriole fans on a fansite where can we vent?

I think one of the most important parts of the culture here is that people are expected / encouraged to back up their arguments.
