What grade do you give Hyde on his usage of pitchers so far this year?

[Snutchy]

I’m interested in knowing if anyones opinion has changed this year.

So far it's working, but I think Sig has much more to do with how the pitching decisions are handled. Whatever it is I hope for the first time in 6+ years the Orioles have a respectable pitching staff.

Pitching much better than this lineups and who he pinch hits for and where he plays people. Those are horrible.

Yes, it would be nice if this good pitching turned out not to be a mirage.   Even though we’re only 4-8 and haven’t hit at all, we’ve been in almost every game.  It sure beats those nights from the last few years where the game was basically over after 2-3 innings.

He doesn't decide any of that stuff

Yea I agree.  I mean, he has so much talent to choose from that he keeps making the wrong decisions!

On top of that, offense is down across the league and everyone not named Santander is ice cold.

[NelsonCruuuuuz]

I wonder how much of it is the catchers.

You would think with the universal DH that hitting would be up slightly. Runs and homers are down but we shall see what happens when the weather gets warmer.

Yeah, MLB won't let this go on for long.  They'll release a batch of rabbit balls they've got stored somewhere, I suspect.

Exactly it is what they did last time.

They have a limited number of tricks in their bag.

Yeah, but they're good tricks.  High powered offense brings out the casual fan.
