Hyde does deserve credit for the pinch hits etc.  He consistently does that well.  The issue is BP usage and management.  Sometimes you need to know when to adjust based on how pitchers are trending etc.

Bringing Felix in for a fresh inning?

[baltfan]

Gotta bad feeling here.

Teoscar had a walkoff yesterday vs his former team and just did this:
