This is a perfect game as far as I'm concerned. The Orioles entertain with a bunch of home runs then lose at the end. If I'm going to watch this bad of a ball club I at least want that number one draft pick next year.

He was of the opinion that his delivery added stress to his hip.

The issue was whether relievers can handle high number of back to back games effectively. O'Day could and it is generally though that sidearmers have greater longevity--I think it was four seasons in a row, improving each year. He eventually suffered injury, but that doesn't wipe out his record.

This is on Fry today. He was terrible. 

He was, but it was clear from the beginning that he was not himself. Why, because he had pitched less than 24 hours before. His velocity was down and slider wasn't moving, yet Hyde doesn't get anyone up until he loads the bases. Rushes Wells in and then it implodes.

Awful, awful pitching management.

I disagree. It’s a 4:05 start not 11 AM. A major league reliever can’t pitch 2 day straight? How many times do relievers pitch a Sunday day game after a night game?

It sucks but how good Ryan is long term is more important than relievers stinking today.

I have been complaining about this as long as he has been our manager. I am no expert, but I can use basic common sense. The only thing more infuriating than what Hyde does with his pitching is the fact that none of the beat writers ever call him on it.

Rarely is the answer. Look it up. Managers tend to stay away from back to back games from their relievers unless they have to and definitely unless they are both night games.

I don’t know that Fry’s issue was a lack of rest.  He threw 14 pitches last night.  Before that, he threw 1 inning on the 16th and 1 inning on the 11th.  If he physically cannot handle going back to back days under those conditions then that’s a problem.

How many times does this team have a chance to win back to back? He isn’t overusing anyone. 
 

He failed today and it makes the manager look bad. Had Mullins hit a 3 run bomb last night with one out instead of 2 maybe he sits down. I know Buck never liked not to bring arms in after getting them warm.

      The on field product has the talent to win and bring out fans now.  I’m not saying not to spend more money.  Your first paragraph I agree with. The new owner assumes all the “debts” leftover. Ultimately it’s their responsibility to repair it.    They screwed up big time with their pricing. If this team rebounds and gets in the DS the excitement will pick up. Only the last week did they have any momentum after months of losing it.

      Erceg vs Seranthony Dominguez

      That’s a very good point, but then you have the question whether you would be willing to give up McDermott plus for erceg, and that’s an easy trade to make. Plus, the athletics need almost everything, they wouldn’t want Hays But we could’ve found something to satisfy them.

      IMO, this mindset ("new chapter") is part of the problem. We can't act like the past and the terrible relationship that the org had with it's customer base does not matter or have a carryover effect. Whether the org calls itself "new" or not IMO is irrelevant. The issue is whether or not it will operate in enough meaningful different ways. If the org wants more of it's market to be engaged it is going to have to raise the bar to championship expectations and invest more in the on-field product. That would be different from the past and would indeed reflect that something is "new".

      All of you guys talking about empty seats and an unengaged fanbase - did you not see the post showing over 41K in attendance, more than in MIL or HOU?  Are those fan bases also unengaged or disinterested? This is much ado about absolutely nothing.

      I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.

      I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.
