Honestly I don't ask for much:    -- be accurate and correct (she was)    -- pronounce the players names right (she did)    -- don't be bland/boring/sleep inducing like Melanie Newman i

I'd hate to rush someone.  I think they should have to publicly announce at all the various levels and earn their way to the majors.

Article in the Athletic implies that the tweets the Orioles didn't like we're in relation to other sports teams, sometimes sarcastic.   During the Ravens playoff loss to Buffalo he said it was "sickening".  He joked about Brett Gardner doing sage ago the Orioles "for the past 75 years".  All pretty mild stuff, but I guess the Orioles felt it was unprofessional as a rep of the organization and counselled him and he kept on doing it

So why not let him go before the season started?

No idea.  The Gardner tweet came on the road trip just before the home opener so maybe it was a last straw?  Technically he was sort of  fired "before the season" since his job is only at home games and he was fired a few hours before he was to take the mic for the home opener.

Something happened or was brought to someones attention that isn't in public cyberspace that we don't know about or probably never no about.  

That’s what I think.   You don’t fire a guy an hour or two before the home opener based on tweets that are months/weeks/days old.

The Orioles calling someone unprofessional is hilarious.

      I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him.

      I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks.

      You could cut and paste this write up for about every team in the organization.

      It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.

      I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
