i really did not like hydes tone in the postgame press conference. he seemed like a guy who has never been here before, because he hasn't . he was so down about the loss it could set the wrong tone for a young team. you lose game 1, i get it,not ideal but its a best of 5 series and we have saw the O's come back in series before. come out, tell the media its one game ,don't look defeated and reassure your young team the series is far from over.

he is cussing in the dugout about gunnar getting caught stealing in game 1,this is not the nfl one and done.

lets hope they come out today and even it up,if not go to texas and win 2

If we lose this series it is likely going to be because the offense doesn’t wake up.  I don’t understand anyone that would think it’s because the team is mentally weak or overwhelmed by the pressure.  This team has proven over and over again that it is unbowed by pressure.

Right. You don't get to be a MLB player in the first place if you don't handle pressure well. Most of what people consider "choking" is probably just natural variance over small sample sizes

Hyde was not the only one that was cussing about that play.

He literally sounded like he always does in his press conferences. Not sure what exactly you're getting at...

This was a 3-2 loss, and I can understand the emotion during a game thread, but good lord, it's baseball. Every team left is a great baseball team. Every team can beat any team on any given day. 

They're going to be ok. 

Yep. And all of the top teams (aside from the Astros) lost the first game in the series. I doubt Braves or Dodgers fans think the sky is falling.

Oh I guarantee you there are Dodgers and Braves fans that think the sky is falling after what happened to them last year.

The sky isn’t falling, but you only get to lose twice in a five game seties if you want to win.  So, the O’s need to play better today.

ok.... lose twice in a five game series.  If anyone else writes that I move on understanding we all mistakes, when Frobby does I actually have to Google whether arithmetic changed... I mean, who knows, so many other things have. :)

I meant what I said.  If we want to win the series, we can’t lose more than twice.  

By the way, every playoff series the O’s ever won, they lost either 0 or 1 game.

Gotta wonder about Kershaw though. His postseason struggles are not a small sample size at this point.

    • I too was *this* pissed off yesterday. I'm sympathetic. But the reality of the situation is that Kansas City played out of their minds defensively and baseball happened.  Now, this was a microcosm of the second half of the season and that's just a fact. They dealt with injuries, just like every team does... they just didn't deal with them very effectively. I'm not sure if casting blame upon the hitting coaches or Hyde really holds any water for me. But I understand the desire for a scapegoat. It was REALLY hard to watch batter after batter trying to hit a 13 run home run on pitches that weren't really all that close to the strike zone. They were way out of their lanes and it was patently obvious that panic was setting in. I felt like it was a basketball game and Hyde needed to call a timeout or something. Like they needed to be snapped out of it or something, maybe by something drastic like, oh, putting Jackson Holliday in there for an at bat in an important spot.  They hit a lot of balls at guys, they swung at bunch of BS repeatedly. I saw it from Mountcastle, Santander, Henderson, Cowser (embarrassingly so), McCann during game 1, Rutschman too.  The only thing I could maybe blame Hyde for is not successfully alleviating the panic. Baseball's different though... I'm just a slapdick fan, I have no idea what the realities of his job are. But that lineup needed to find a way to relax and the further the game went the more they freaked out. It was the opposite of a loose dugout. It was fear, panic and foreboding doom. Is it even possible to snap that group out of it? I dunno. The veterans were the ones (other than Mullins) that were pressing the most. I think I would have found a way to get Holliday or Kjerstad some meaningful at bats. Yeah, maybe that's Monday morning quarterbacking. Maybe they would have reacted the same way the rest of them did.  They couldn't have been worse...  
    • Ok I’m changing this a little. Don’t know O’Hearn is worth the 8 mil.. Maybe we can replace. I’m actually pretty juiced at the potential of this and all of these guys are overdue for regular ABs together.    CF Mullins 3B Westburg C Adley SS Gunnar LF Cowser DH O’hearn/Mayo 1B Mountcastle  RF Kjerstad 2B Holliday Util: Mayo (regular DH platoon, spot starts in the field, Mateo (speed/defense)  
    • Honestly, they need to fix the right field wall too.  It is too ridiculous and screws with the right-handed hitters.  Move it in 10 feet and lower it a bit.
    • I said it before, and I'll say it again. This Royals team is entirely a function of their starting pitching (Ragans, Lugo, Wacha, Singer) and their recent BP arm pickups/conversions (Erceg, Bubic, Lynch, etc.). Their offense is basically Witt, Pasq, and Perez. I was pretty confident that the O's could shut them down going into this series, and they did. They only scored 3 runs. And none of their run scoring hits were all that amazing...if at all. The issue, of course, was the offense. Was that because of the pitching? Personally I thought Ragans looked hittable. He pitched better than Lugo, but the O's came up tiny in RISP situations. Same as yesterday. Ragans and Lugo mostly pitched out of the zone, and the O's just were aggressive. So, in this regard, give the credit to the Royals scouts and analytics teams. They knew exactly how to pitch to Santander: up, up, up. They knew exactly how to pitch to Cowser: low changeups. They knew exactly how to pitch to everybody not named Cedric Mullins. This Royals club is half decent, and if this O's club was the 2023 team, they shellack them. Alas, here we are. Think the Yankees are going to railroad these guys if they aren't rusty. 
    • He was developed according to the Orioles'  development plan.
    • Ryan Mountcastle avoiding getting hit in his dick with a pitch while trying to hold up his swing was infuriating.  
    • For the most part, no. The biggest thing a manager does is the culture they set and what they do off the field.  By all accounts, the players like Hyde, the culture is good and the team is happy with him. Now, if there is something there that we don’t know about, by all means make the change. However,  if every report is true, I see no reason to make a change. That’s making a change just to make a change. I would rather focus on the on field than assume some ceremonial change at manager is going to matter. Its been studied and we have talked about it a lot but in game strategy is so similar that its really only a game or two in terms of “manager WAR”.
