What a stupid thread.  In fact, every thread @Explosivo starts or comments on, is ridiculous.  I imagine they're started to get people to get up in arms over how ridiculous his posts are.  And if that

I’m convinced the only reason Hyde is at the helm is to make the wrong decisions that result in losses. I get we have major holes and gaps in starting pitching, relief pitching and the infield but man

Hyde's not a good manager but the main problem with the team is a lack of talent. 

That is the heart of the problem, no?  Replace Hyde this season with any HoF manager, and what?  We're 18-28 instead of 17-29?

I get we have major holes and gaps in starting pitching, relief pitching and the infield but man does he consistently push the wrong buttons. We have plenty of young arms in the bullpen and yet it seems we only see Plutko. I mean, how many games has he pitched this year? I think he’s a pretty good pitcher but you can’t keep going to the well over and over. It’s like he’s been instructed to make this team tank or something. Again, we aren’t supposed to be good this year or the next and really what would help this team out the most is a top 3 draft pick, but wow does this dude not know how to manage this club. Ok, ok, rant over. I feel better.

The team stinks because they have a lot of players who stink.  Nothing Hyde does or doesn't do has a great effect on that.

Assuming you're trying to score at least a run to tie the game, then statistically, sac bunting a guy to second with no outs and a decent hitter at the plate is a really bad idea.  It's what you do in that situation with a weak hitter up, and no other options to put the bat into the hands of someone better.

Chance to score at least one run:

Man on first, zero outs:  42.36%

Man on second, one out:  40.60%

Also looking at historic data from past games with this situation (visitor batting in 9th, home up by one), you're hurting your win expectancy by giving up the out.

No bunt:  Home wins 75.8% of the time.

With bunt: Home wins 81% of the time.

Thank you.  I was pretty annoyed that Hays decided to bunt there.  

Also although it isn't always accurate, the old adage says play for the tie at home and the lead on the road.  Hays should be swinging away there against the lefty Hand, who is pitching his third straight game.  It really isn't debatable.

Whatever.  Tony La Russa would have this roster battling it out for first place.  That much is obvious.

LOL.  This is true.  Look at all he has gotten out of Yermin! He is even teaching him about the unwritten rules of baseball!

And is it because he’s a bad manager?

He’s lost this team. I don’t think they respect him. I don’t think they respond to them. I don’t think he’s making the young guys better. It would be one thing if there was growth from the young players or if the vets were not making continuous errors. However all this is true

So in two years when this team is good, you want to keep Hyde or not?

Yes..If the team is good in 2 years, that means the young talent is progressing well.

The team plays hard, had good chemistry and the players like and respect him.

A baseball manager has very little influence on winning and losing.  What matters is the intangibles that they bring and Hyde seems to have them.

The Jaguars will win a championship before the Orioles.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      The 13 game plan is guaranteed playoff tickets…….if you purchase them.  Since I assume you went through the team and chose your seat and purchased it with a card, you should get it back.   At least for me, my wife and I thought we were going to be moving 30 minutes away from our house, but instead of an hour from Baltimore, it would be 1 hour 45 minutes, so season tickets of any sort didn’t make sense.  I also figured that we would get hit with 4 pm games mid-week to start, so it all just didn’t make sense.   I am also surprised that my rep didn’t reach out to ask why.  I opted in before as a 29 game holder, in 2014, 15 and 16.  I went back to 29 games this year after two seasons with 13, and I’ve been a Birdland member since 2014.  Oh well.  We may be opting back into 13 next year, or not at all.  We will have to see.  My wife will sometimes get tickets from work, and they were always when we had tickets, so it didn’t make sense to take them.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.

      I have 13 game plan. Last year I was refunded. I hope I am this year.    The Ravens used to keep your money for playoff games not played and people complained. They stopped doing it. It’s pretty unethical in my opinion they keep the money towards next year. You can use that money for something else and make payments when they are due. Instead a business getting handouts from the state keeps your money.    The fact that you didn’t get playoff tickets due to this is alarming. They should wake up and be called out on this. It’s not acceptable.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I didn't watch the Astros or Os press conferences, mainly because I didn't want to look at or hear anything Elias or Hyde said. But I imagine that Houston fans are going to be far more accepting of how things ended than our fans are (or should be). The Astros fan has had a pretty charmed life (cheating stigma aside) since the last time we won a playoff game.

      According to park factors, OPaCy was friendlier overall to righties compared to lefties. This is the second time in three season that has been the case. But it’s way friendlier to lefties in terms of hitting homers.
