Impossible to know but Mateo plays back inning may have been different. 
 

Hyde is more aggressive than me bringing infield in especially with nobody out. 

Have you been watching any games all managers  do this

B Squad in the INF tonight.   Good to be able to get a look at this now.   Not a playoff  caliber INF.   Mateo has to be perfect to justify playing.  He’s not.  Ortiz is likely better at 2B than Westburg.  Will need the big bats tonight.

It was an awful throw and a bad decision, to add insult to injury.

Yep..the throw has to be perfect there but he rushed it. Just everything was bad except that he cleanly caught the ball.

This is the type of inning that can happen to anyone but when you don’t miss bats and “pitch to contact”, this happens.

In a tie game in the second inning with 2 runners in scoring position and no outs? Most times teams concede a run there. To be fair Hyde’s calls have worked well this year.

    • Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,
    • I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play. 
    • My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.
    • Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup. 
    • Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.
    • He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.  
    • What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
