It's beyond team meeting time if he hasn't done one yet.

That worked out well for Toronto a while back when the O's were facing them.

You don't agree? I don't think this is an over reaction. They have been below .500 for a month. They are playing terrible defense. 

I don’t agree.  You’re pressing more than the team is.   You need to get together with about 10-20 other guys on here and decompress.  Maybe a team meeting?   There’s no easy answer.   You keep playing the games and you start playing better.  Or not.   We have the talent.  We know these guys are giving maximum effort.  We’re getting reinforcements.   And maybe Cole Irvin needs to go when we add the next 1-2 pitchers.

Good grief.

Oh it won't end there.  Pretty soon someone on here will suggest that Hyde has "lost the team" and watch the reaction to that nonsense.

Or they are regressing to the mean now 

If they play under .500 for the next two months, I’ll concede that. 
 

Is that what you are suggesting will happen?

Braves just had one a few days ago.

This stretch of bad games is a good test to see what kinds of fans we are.  I see a lot are failing, miserably.  Lol

It's almost like it's the first time some of them have never seen an O's team not do well. I'm old enough to have suffered through decades of it.

Please, I'm fine.

Kinda fun being a voice of reason.

“Yo, Matt!  Let’s hit like we did last year.  Sure thing, bro.  That’s a great idea. I’m glad we had this talk.  Now, if I hit a home run everyone will say it’s because of the team meeting.  Fans and media eat that stuff up.  Cool!”

Dealing with adversity and failure is worth its weight in gold.  In a 162 game season it will happen.  No way around that.  Couple thoughts on the slump. 

1. I expect the team to grow from this 

2. I sure as hell am glad it’s July and not September

Fair enough. I just think it can be helpful to bring everyone together and try to light a fire. 

The defense is unacceptable and that's something that shouldn't slump. The hitting? No idea what the solution is there.

I’m concerned Hyde might be losing the team. Man they are playing horribly and we are starting to see lack of hustle issues.

There is a difference between not doing well and just playing mentally uninspired baseball.

And that is what the Os are doing.  This isn't a slump.  It is a mental collapse.
