Citing game thread reactions to back up the assertion that you're being rational isn't as convincing as you think it is.

Suarez can back up Means and the rest of the bullpen is rested. Maybe you disagree but breathtaking stupidity is over the top.

He has to be the surprise of the season. His issues were always location to me. He was throwing to the middle of the strike zone vertically too much. Hyde made a point to say he was throwing his change up to the knees.

Remember those two left-handed Borus clients that finally got big one year contracts after asking for much more? Let's see who has the best year. Rooting for Irwin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoping he has figured it out.  Sure looked good again. Kept everyone guessing and was spinning that breaking ball nicely.  Not a ton of strike outs but a lot of weak contact and ground balls. I do enjoy how tough these guys are making it to figure out who is staying in the rotation.  And to think there was a good majority on here that thought the Os needed to add another pitcher beyond Burnes. Hope they keep it up. 

The pressure now turns to Means. With the way Irvin is pitching there is absolutely no way that you can remove him from the rotation right now. He has earned his place for a while.

I think this kind of “competition” actually can bring out the best in everyone because guys know they have to bring their best if they want to stay starting.

Plus you need depth due to the high likelihood of injuries. Can never have too much starting pitching.

I believe Means is starting today. Was swapped in for Suarez.

I am still gobsmacked Hyde yanked Irvin for no reason given Means is pitching today. You can't expect him to give you any length just coming off an injury. Breathtaking stupidity unless there was some kind of injury and I haven't heard anything to suggest that.

Seems a little hyperbolic.

Naw man, Hyde's a total f@#!ing idiot and @dystopiais the only one who sees him for the fraud that he truly is. 

Truly competent managers make late-game decisions based on 'what-if' worst-case scenarios for the following day's game in early May of the regular season. 

Complete imbecile, that Hyde.

Haha, yeah we would be 162-0 without him. Not just the best record in AL for past 200 games.

Well we'll see how it plays out in the next two games. If he needs Cano, Coulombe, and Kimbrel again today, they will be unavailable in game 3 and Hyde will have nobody but himself to blame for that.

I do disagree. And everyone hated it in the game thread. What's changed? If Cano or Coulombe imploded this board is going nuts this morning.

Just because the Reds couldn't hit the broad side of the barn yesterday doesn't suddenly make it any less stupid of a decision.

No... the hyperbolic nature of your response really won't be changed one way or the other by needing Cano, Coulombe or Kimbrel in the next couple of days.

It's actually possible to question Hyde's choice without calling it breathtaking stupidity.

Let’s be clear eyed here.  He’s had three consecutive excellent starts.  Before that, he had a 6.75 ERA in three starts.  I hope his command stays this sharp, but I’m not ready to say he’s the surprise of the season.

      Maddening, frustrating, aggravating ...until it isn't.

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      George Harrison was once asked what he missed by becoming a Beatle. He said , dryly, "My central nervous system". That's something close to how I feel following the Orioles. My anxiety and stress in following this team is unlike any other team I've followed in sports.They exasperate ,annoy,and infuriate , and then, in a couple of moments, often like they came out of a fog...they make you want to hug em. Every game, almost like it's scripted, it seems this team does almost nothing out of the gate. They dont work counts. Make a ton of first pitch outs. Fail to move runners, and simply dont hit much. And then they go into a hole when a pretty poor team like the White Sox, puts 3 on the board...and then you're sure the game is over. But out of nowhere comes an amazing,unforseen performance from Dylan Tate to keep the Sox off the board..and then with only 5 outs left in the game...the Orioles crush three home runs and then win a game that seemed lifeless and fated to fail. This whole series has been an uphill struggle. The White Sox, as bad as they are, are making the Orioles work hard for every win. We had a weird interference call that ended a game with the Orioles on the ropes and close to blowing it. Last night a catch by Cowser robbing a HR that would've cut the lead to 1....and then today another frustrating 7 and a third inning...until, like some sort of  fighter nearly counted out, we pick ourselves up and get throw punches and earn a knockout.I know I must annoy so many of you, particularly on the game thread. I admit, I am Mr. Doom and Gloom , and maybe a bunch on the thread unfollow me or ignore me. I get it. I annoy myself sometimes...but boy, when this team wins, I can feel that satisfaction in the pit of my stomach, and that adrenaline rush. I'm not sure this team, with all its problems has enough to win 100 games again. Probably not. But this Oriole team thru May is still very bit as exciting, and entertaining as any in the game. I just hope my central nervous can withstand the roller coaster.

      It was .707 before today. File your complaints directly to ESPN's reporting department. It's up to .740 now for May. I don't think it was an exaggeration at all to say he's cooled off, I'm not shocked you are contentious about it.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      In 2024, pitching deep into games means finishing 6 innings.  No team averages 6 innings a game from their starters.  I think some don't even average 5.  (Someone will tell me one way or the other in about 10 minutes).  This isn't 1970.  No starting pitcher finishes more than a couple of a games a year, max.  Some aces never make it to the 9th inning.

      Soto is a douche bag, no thanks.  Can we bring back Odor for the next Yankees series to punch him in the face.
