Gunnar Henderson needs to be hitting higher up in the batting order.

So frustrating when your playoff chances are on fumes and you bring a throw away cast off guy like Reed?  You wait till your either in a big lead or a game where your getting blown out to pitch the Reeds of this world.  NOT one when your one run behind in a must win game!

Hindsight 20/20 on that one, his pitch count wasn’t high. 

But yeah he usually gives more leeway to Lyles because he’s a veteran. Not saying I agree with that but it is what it is. 

The key last night was the HR. Not trying to be Captain Obvious but a Springer single and it’s a tie game.

Wildcard hopes are hanging by a thread and you pull Bradish for Reed. Just terrible managing by Hyde in that situation.

It has not been his best day. 
 

That said you have an elite starter there which we don’t have the thought of yanking him doesn’t even cross your mind.

Bradish set down 8 in a row, and should have been 9 if Aguilar turns his glove the right way.

Chapman (who is red hot) comes to bat and didn’t sniff at any of the offspeed pitches. You certainly aren’t going to give him a fastball in the zone, so he walks…big deal.

2 down and you pull the guy who is rolling along for REED???

Clown show.

Hyde is competent but don't feel he fully buys into - let's make the playoffs or if he does he is not up to the challenge.  It's not a criticism but making sure a team's players are developing/performing vs playing championship caliber baseball are two different things.   Hyde may not be the guy for next season and beyond.  Having said that not sure who is/who is available, hope I'm wromg but not feeling great about him leading this team to the playoffs and beyond for the next few years.

I get your argument.  I’m just saying this club is short.

      I don't doubt his stuff.   I doubt his command.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Language like “…salvage the season” is beginning to appear which is more than a little premature. I share the concern about having enough pitching for the postseason.

      Suarez needs to go the bullpen and he could definitely help there in a long/middle relief role. Suarez's fastball is averaging 95 MPH this year maybe pitching in relief and can add 2 to 3 more MPH when he needs it.

      The trade deadline is a while freaking month from now, plus a few more days. I know it’s hard to believe because this board can’t go thirty minutes without discussing a trade and the Trade Deadline thread was created a long time ago (lol) but come on. Why are you convinced Elias will do nothing? Angelos is gone. There’s no reason to expect he will have to go to Ollie’s Bargain Outlet this time.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I floated this idea the other day.  Going to try a slight different version today. For Crochet,  Kjerstad, Norby, DeLeon For Fedde,  Bradfield, McDermott, Chace 1. Feel free to call them overpays or underpays 2. Do the White Sox say no? I think those are two strong packages or one overall very strong package.  I think the Crochet deal is clearly stronger than the Burnes deal was at the time for a pitcher with more control but durability questions. We still hold onto our top 3.  They can try to manage Crochet’s workload if they/you believe in that.  Bottom line, we strongly upgrade the starting staff.       Burnes, GRod, Crochet, Kremer, Fedde.   You’re back to having depth with Irvin to the pen and Povich to AAA.   You can use Crochet as an opener to manage his innings. We still have chips like Beavers, Willems, Baumeister, Fabian to get rental relievers. Of course, this guts a lot of top and mid level prospects but it keeps Basallo, Holliday, and Mayo here.  With the upcoming draft, and the Latin program showing real progress in the lower minors, I think there’s no doubt we can take the position player hit.  Losing McDermott and DeLeon is tough but if you get two starters from the Sox you have to send some arms back.

      Teams have slumps, with or without injuries.  Add in a beyond belief amount of injuries,  and you have the 2024 Orioles.

      Elias plan is pretty simple and has been executed to near perfection.  Give the team as wide a window as possible to be a playoff participant and build a team capable of winning the whole thing if things break their way.   Based on the last several post seasons the team that hits the most home runs in any given series has won that series.  I think he has accomplished those goals. This organization is setup to have a 3-5 year run as a world series contender.  I have no issue with the plan or even the overall execution and anyone who does is not seeing the bigger picture in my opinion.
