      Roughly.  They could win 92.  They could win 88.  The exact number wasn't my point. They won't fire Hyde because the team won 88 games instead of 90.

      Hitting coach death watch

      They do have some things to answer for. I do not think Hyde is in trouble, but the hitters have regressed with swing decisions in an effort to be more aggressive. The power numbers are up, on base is down. Strikeouts are skyrocketing. Perhaps that is on each player, or perhaps their philosophy is flawed. To me, the real question is, is it the coaches, or is this aggression coming from Sig, Mike and Eve?

      GAME RECAP
    • ShoelesJoe
      Umpire Scorecard Thread

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      From last night's game Yankees vs Red Sox. #1 impactful call that was clearly strike one instead called ball two, giving Aaron Judge a 2-0 count with the bases loaded instead of a 1-1 count. What's the difference between 1-1 and 2-0 counts? Judge's 2-0 count OPS jumps over 500 points compared to when the count is 1-1.  Also, 20% of Tumpane's called strikes last night were outside the strike zone, which is ghastly. To put it in perspective the umpire was ten times more likely to call a ball a strike, than to call a strike a ball. And yet in the biggest AB of the game he calls an obvious strike a ball? One of only two missed strikes out of the 161 calls he made all game? Given those numbers I'd love for somebody with a training in statistical analysis to determine what are the odds that the worst, most impactful call of the game, would occur A) in the biggest at bat of the night, and B) go in the Yankees favor. My guess is those odds are so low as to eliminate random human error by the umpire. As crazy as it sounds I do believe there's something going on wrt umpires favoring the Yankees this year. The only question in my mind is whether its a conscious or subconscious choice by the umpires.

      Three hits for Samuel Basallo adjusting to AAA on a night tempting one to turn the seriousness knob on the joke that "you haven't been Raysian until you use someone in the postseason and send them to AAA the next spring" from 0% to 1%. There's still 2+ weeks of baseball before Festivus and I'm not sure if Ryan O'Hearn or a third of the lineup is better than Samuel Basallo today.

      O’s look done

      It is what it is. Some say fire Hyde - hell fire everybody it isn't giong to change. Earl couldn't win with this team. Heck he'd have a stroke with the umpiring. Injuries happen but this year has been special in a very negative way. Just suppose we entered September with a rotation of Burnes, Eflin, Bradish, GRod, Kramer/Suarez. That's not even counting Means or Wells. I have no idea why Adley has fallen off the cliff or Cowser and Holliday look lost. Even Gunnar had a spell. 2024 has turned into a disaster on both sides of the ball that will carry into next season. Elias will have to replan more than pitching. Watching this team, I feel like I'm almost back in the "tank years." Yet we will probably make the playoffs. If we do more than that, Hyde ought to be Manager of The Year for Life. And yet this team - this game can turn on a dime. I'm waiting - I'm hoping - but I'm not holding my breath.

      Managerial Candidates

      It’s impossible to say who the best candidates would be without going through the full process. It’s not like speculating on who our center fielder should be where we can more directly observe skills and job performance. The long list would likely include the following: Terry Francona, former Guardians manager Buck Britton, Norfolk Tides manager Skip Schumaker, Marlins manager Gabe Kapler, Marlins assistant GM Rodney Linares, Rays bench coach Ryan Flaherty, Cubs bench coach George Lombard, Tigers bench coach DeMarlo Hale, Blue Jays associate manager Brad Ausmus, Yankees bench coach Mark DeRosa, MLB Network analyst and former WBC manager Rickie Weeks Jr., Brewers associate manager  Caleb Cotham, Phillies pitching coach Will Venable, Rangers associate manager Bobby Dickerson, Phillies infield coach Matt Tuiasosopo, Braves third base coach Clayton McCullough, Dodgers first base coach David Ross, former Cubs manager Don Kelly, Pirates bench coach Mark Hallberg, Giants third base coach Craig Albernaz, Guardians bench coach Kai Correa, Guardians infield coordinator Mark Budzinski, Blue Jays first baseman coach Fredi González, Orioles bench coach Ramón Vázquez, Red Sox bench coach Mike Napoli, Red Sox first base coach
