I rarely second guess Hyde, but this was not his best day.  I’d told a friend in the 6th inning we should avoid Kimbrel today.   He’s been overused and now we’re paying the price.  And they should have yanked him for injury when they came to the mound.  Terrible decision to let him continue.

I'd like to know more about the injury before we crucify Hyde. If Kimbrel insisted he was good to go, are you really expecting him to bring in Tate with no warmup? And would the outcome have been different?

Amazing how the pitchforks come out after a bad loss

Just imagine if they lose again, tomorrow. There’ll be people here unironically saying that we need to sell, and fire Hyde and Elias. Worst time of the year here is *any* time we play the Yankees.

Hearing Hyde say "trust the player". Fine, but even after Kimbrel was trash on Friday night too? I'm not buying it and he should have yanked him first mound visit.

If we don't get 7 plus from starters this week a 4 game sweep is very much in play

It’s on Kimbrel to tell him he can’t go. Hyde can’t tell him he is hurt. 

There’s a great Mike Tomlin video about it being the coaches responsibility to determine this. The player is almost always going to tell you they’re fine.

PS it’s ok to hate the Steelers and respect them

Everything you say is diarrhea, you bring nothing to the board but trolling. You are a zero.

The funny this is that weightlifter guy knows who he is. DB thinks he’s bringing value.

If a player can’t run or has a concussion is little different than upper back tightness.  
 

In football you can come out and go back in. This isn’t football.

It's all good. They may allow him to troll all he wants, but I won't see it unless someone quotes him.

I don’t understand your distinction. Kimbrel clearly had an issue, they came out to check on him. He wasn’t right his previous appearance. 
 

The coach has to decide if someone is ok.

In football you can take a player under the blue tent and run a bunch of tests on him. He can always come back in. 
 

In this instance you have to make an instant judgement. He threw one pitch and stayed in. 
 

You are arguing Hyde should have just said you don’t look right and you are out. I don’t think that’s easy.

Can we trade with the A's for some relief pitching??? Hat's off to them for a gritty series. Elias more than Hyde has work to do. The next four games could be ugly.

I was thinking of this on Friday as well. Elias needs to make a move before the Yankees do. Five months of a very shaky back end of the bullpen would be very detrimental to my health!

    • Not that I am in any way full agreement, but this is a classic post.  Doesn't Machado play chess?  Maybe we could get some chess boards in the clubhouse and junk all the legos.  Not all great baseball men are John McGraw bad asses.  Some can be Christy Mathewsons as well, I suppose.  Not that I imagine today's young players much resembling McGraw or Mathewson, but they are the first two contrasting old school types that come to mind.  I will say just based on his postseason alone I'd much rather have Tatis over Machado.
    • Well I refuse to believe that only the O's have no players that want extensions.
    • Customer advocate groups have tried for decades to force the cable companies to allow channel by channel (a la carte) subscriptions, but the cable companies fought this because it would result in far less revenue (than forcing us to pay for a hundred channels we don't watch).  The government refused to intervene, so we've been stuck with the existing business model for all this time.  Streaming is forcing the change because streaming -- for now -- is an a la carte model.   MLB's fear must be this: if the regional sports network cable channel model goes away, will most users pay anywhere close to what these channels made as part of a cable bundle for just one streaming channel where all you watch are Orioles games (or maybe Orioles and Nats games -- whatever the case may be)?  So if you pay $100/month for cable with MASN, you are probably watching at least a few other channels too.  But will you pay $15/month (or whatever the price may be) just to watch the Orioles -- even during the months when there is no baseball?  The existing basic cable model has been quite stable because people tend to watch at least 5 or 6 channels.  They're reluctant to cancel their whole cable package just because baseball season is over -- or they've been too busy to watch many games this season.  But with a single streaming channel of just baseball there is bound to be a far more unstable revenue base.  All the streaming channels are already dealing with this problem.  I think MLB is maybe reluctant to go all in on streaming for this reason.  Perhaps they're looking for new different model that could allow them to bundle individual team channels with Netflix, or Prime, or maybe with your cell phone plan or something else.  This could give them some stability, but it could also be a turn off for the more hardcore fans who just want the Orioles and little else.  It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if MLB, and the Orioles, will prosper or suffer as a result.
    • What if they don’t want to be extended?
    • I don't want the O's to lose much, but I do want there to be a massive streaming deal with Amazon or some other company the O's are left out of.  This blackout nonsense is bullsh!t. 🤬
