Pinch hitting Urias for Stowers is one of the most stupid, and most predictable, moves from Hyde ever.  I know, I know, he won manager of the year last year, so he can do no wrong and he walks on water.  But man, in reality he does a bunch of bonehead/knee jerk type stuff, and only seems to trust the analytics he likes, while opposite numbers, like Stowers milb career numbers against lefties, he just ignores.  I really think he's overrated and the Os win more in spite of him, and less because of him.

Love Hyde, and normally support the vast majority of his moves, but this was the worst-managed game of his career. We stole a win somehow, but man oh man.  Insistence on starting McCann (57 OP

Yeah Hyde fault not the 0-14 from the offense with runners in scoring position and being no hit the first 6 innings or so.

We lost this game because four consecutive relievers did poorly.  Not because of letting Mullins hit.

  • Insistence on starting McCann (57 OPS+)
  • Playing Mullins over Hays
  • Not PHing O'Hearn for McCann (who cares if you lose the DH, it's the 8th inning, go for the win)
  • Bunting with 1 out with McCann (and with 2 strikes)
  • Urias for Stowers

Brutal. Everyone has a rough game, including managers, so it's whatever. But wow.

Agree on all of these points.

McCann has to play and his career stats back up playing him mostly vs LHP. I don't see the issue there. He even got a base hit. 

If O'Hearn pinch hits they bring in a lefty and we're screwed. I don't think it was about the DH. I don't have the numbers but McCann is actually a pretty great bunter so I get the thought process there. 

Appears they don't want Hays on the field. Not sure what's up with that but guessing a medical thing more than a Hyde decision.

Urias is the only one I really, really don't get.

I hope Hays is OK to play

  Is he only able to play when weather conditions are perfect.  Pinch hitting Urias for anyone should never happen.  He's pretty much an automatic out.

I'm surprised McCann knew how to bunt.  Amazingly it almost worked.

O'Hearn is not an outfielder.  He's awkward out there and disaster is imminent any time he's in the outfield.  He caught a ball by sort of falling to the side.

I will beat the drum that Hyde is not a good manager until whenever the O's move on from him whenever that day will be. 

 

I don't care if he won manager of the year. Manager of the year always goes to biggest uderdog. Bochy should have gotten it.

Ned Yost won manger of the year once.

Hyde is trying to keep Rutschman fresh so that is why McCann plays.  In a couple of years it will be Bassallo in the McCann slot.  Granted Mullins is struggling but his defense can't be replaced, and Bradfield hopefully can hit enough to make his way up and his D is 80 rated, plus he has Ricky Henderson speed.  This is not a finished product.  We are on pace to win 100+ games.  Enjoy the ride.

Really like Hyde but how he handled that game, particularly at the end, with the offense was awful.  

In some fairness to Hyde, the offense is making his job pretty difficult. But if you lack the confidence in McCann so much that you are bunting with him with 1 out and 2 strikes, you might as well just use O'Hearn and deal with whatever consequences later. One of your best hitters glued to the bench in the biggest spot of the game?

Couldn't agree more. Stowers hit lefties well and finally had an opportunity to bat. Instead Hyde brings in one of our worst hitters. I know Hyde loves his vets but that was idiotic and honestly if I'm Stowers, I'm not too happy right now.

In Hyde's press conference, he said the bunt was off. That was all McCann.

No manager will look good when the entire offense is hacking away at every pitch.  I tend to only ever disagree with Hyde when he's burning through relievers too fast (IMO) but the position player usage today was brutal.

If you're Stowers, you're happy to have two or three weeks in Baltimore again cause this is probably your last go-round here.

      And fouled off a hanging curveball right over the middle of the plate. That was the one to hit.

      Juan Soto - eventual Hall of Famer? Inner Circle?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I was looking at career wRC+ on Fangraphs at 3000 PA the other day, and they have the Negro Leagues guys mixed in.    Soto and Judge near 3500 PA right now have about as many as some of those guys. Judge is running ahead of him by now, but Soto has the October wins over Hader, Kershaw, Cole while postseason Judge is ~200 PA of hitting .210. Absent an upset, this season is probably rolling towards Burnes-Bradish-Grayson competing with Soto-Judge about 30 times if an ALDS goes its 5-game distance. I'm curious to see if Sigbot arranges the big 3 for the first Yankee Stadium visit about 3 weeks out.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Using the pen for 9+ outs a game is wearing them down. We’re protecting the starters. I think we could see Akin optioned as a way to deload him.  Does Elias’ strategy actually make sense if you think about it?  He knew coming into the season how much we were going to use the pen. So spend money on proven guys, or prospects as currency, when we’d just wear them down anyway. I think we planned for this. We’ll load up on “fresh” arms around the deadline.  Fire up the shuttle.  Deload Akin a bit. Who replaces him?  Baker?  I actually like Baker. Krook is looking alright in AAA as well.

      Also can’t fault Hyde because we’re clearly doing the load management thing with our SP and we should be. Heck, only Burnes and Irvin haven’t hit the IL. I always go back to the comment about how Hyde said we were so tired in the playoffs last year and needed that break.  I think the strategy is that the bullpen is replaceable part’s essentially other than the top guys over 162. We’ll see how Elias GMs at the deadline.

      Yeah he probably would have, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have had the opportunity in the 6th. It’s not a fail one time and you’re out sport.

      Is Nevin more valuable to us than Urias right now?  I’d say no, but it’s closer than it was on OD. At least Nevin would have a role. Starter vs LHP.
