You would think him trying to fight Chris Davis would have counted for more in O's fans' eyes.

IF Hyde fails once talent comes on board, the likelyhood that they go to a minor league manager with no ML experience is almost nil.  Unless the only criteria for the job is lack of money.

Some guy named Earl says hello.

That is true...but different game today.  I don't really feel any different today....other than Hyde looks pretty good with his first crack at talent.  But also...Elias has proven to be very disciplined and I could see him want a manager he can mold in regards to data....someone like Earl would be great.

Could I question some of his lineup decisions?  Sure.  But the clubhouse seems tight knit and fully behind him, and his bullpen decisions have panned out all year.  Honestly I’d give him a solid A for how he’s managed this team, regardless of whether he plays Odor too often or bats him too high in the lineup.

Britton has a keen baseball mind and he’s managed many of the guys in the system currently up out at AAA. One of my best friends coached him and Zack. Players like him, as many here say the Orioles like Hyde. Here’s the thing, though, likability isn’t always a determining factor in a manager getting the most potential out of his players. But no one questions his baseball acumen. In used to think Cash was good until I watched him mismanage the Rays in game seven of the World Series. The Dodgers thank you, sir. 

Heck, look at Roberts of the Dodgers. I can’t remember a guy doing less with more than he’s done with the Dodgers. I’d rather a guy who can motivate his players without being their “friend”. Think Billy Martin or again, Earl….Palmer knows, of course and not everyone is Jim Palmer and Earl Weaver, but it worked. Sparky Anderson. I guess Lasorda, although, he made many questionable decisions in big games to be considered on a par with those three in my mind, but his overall temperament wasn’t always conducive to a touchy fly clubhouse, if you get my meaning.
 

Bochy was good, don’t remember much about his clubhouse persona. Buck changed the culture in Baltimore when he became manager and it started by letting everyone know what was expected of them. I still think he was the right guy at the right time and then, he wasn’t.

It is probably correct, though, to say it’s a different game today. Players are paid much more today and thereby managers are expendable. Do the bidding of ownership and/or the GM or we’ll find someone who will. Hey, it’s business.

If you were Elias would you pay him any more for winning the award?

The value is in the work, not the accolades. 

Spoken like a guy about to be looking for a new managing gig. 

Seriously, couldn’t agree more. Girardi, Cash….there are too many more to list who have won awards and been overhyped.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
