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

Dude, I've played, coached, watched, analyzed baseball all my life and have been an Orioles fan since around 1970. My opinion is that Baker and Akin should not be used in high-leverage situations, per

They have won 1 series against a non CHW  or COL team since 8/1. If Seattle loses tonight, they will not have won a series against a team above .500 since 6/18-6/20 in NY. Almost 3 months.

Bad bullpen management tonight aside, the real problem is that Hyde hasn’t been able to wake his team up from whatever the hell is going on in that clubhouse, and that’s on him. A lot of the depth has been sapped with the injuries, but this goes far beyond that. 

Sure but that stretch also included three 4 game splits against CLE, BOS and HOU so it isn’t like there have been no quality wins.

O’Neil is batting .317 / .432 / .733 vs LH pitchers this season. There is no way in hell you let him bat against Akin in the 10th inning with a base open. Even if the intentional walk puts the go ahead run at 2nd you cannot let him swing the bat. 
 

No Way.

No How.

Not in this lifetime. 
 

The fact that Hyde let Akin pitch to O’Neil in extra innings in the middle of a pennant race is a borderline firing offense. It’s an Ubaldo over Britton level of incompetence.

The same people crying and complaining now are the ones that were clamoring the first two months when we were winning to bring up the young guys and we will be even better and Elias was dumb for not doing it.  Now they are up and the continue to cost us games and we are blaming the manager.  

They’ve been a .500 team for 3 months. That’s been with or without the young guys, with Burnes pitching well or horribly, with Gunnar hitting well or slumping, with or without Rodriguez and Westburg, with or without the TDL acquisitions. It hasn’t mattered who’s healthy, who’s hitting/pitching well, or even who is on the roster the last 3 months.

They’ve played well below their talent level regardless of who is injured and that’s a reflection of the manager.

Not me. I wanted to explore trades for anybody. I even suggested a Basallo for Miller swap. I still want to trade Kjersted, and would be happy to trade anyone.

And i blame Hyde for not using his pieces well. His usage may be forced on him by the Overlords, but if not, it’s all on him.

He said he didn’t walk him because he was worried about Refsnyder pinch hitting next even though he hadn’t been used as a PH against Perez.

Off day tomorrow, you have your Tier A arms in Perez, Cano, Dominguez. Offense sputtering, so you know it’s probably going to go into extras. And you…take out Cano after he only threw 2 pitches? And then think Akin in extra innings (high leverage, runner on) is a good idea?

It’s one thing if it was the 12th or 13th and you’re out of options. But come on.

Also, once the Holliday error happened, you just can’t let Akin pitch to O’Neill who clobbers lefties. Yoshida is terrible against them. It was a no brainer. 

I really don’t understand Hyde’s logic. Yeah, too many defensive miscues tonight and once again piss poor hitting with RISP. But Hyde isn’t helping with these other decisions.

And after a while, pointing out various reasons why the team loses, such as weak defense or benig short-handed in the pen, even though legit, begin to sound like a tired excuse. Problems like the infield flubbing easy plays or having the wrong relievers on the mound in crucial situations--seems solvable, not something wildly, mysteriously beyond one's control.

You dont walk the winning run to second. Holliday mucked it, it's not on Hyde.

      In Grich’s case, I think his OBP skills weren’t appreciated at the time.  He was a .266 lifetime hitter in an era when that was maybe 10 points above average, but his .371 OBP was more like 45-50 points above average.  But OBP just wasn’t very valued at the time.

      We don’t have a current combo that is ideal. You have to go with the best possible grouping you have.

      Yep, we're in agreement on the 70 rWAR threshold.  A championship would help Manny's cause, though I'm not sure if that's in the cards for him in the near future.  He needs a big moment on a big stage, too....as silly as that sounds, I do believe it matters in the eyes of some voters. Not to derail, but Whitaker is a guy that belongs in the HoF, too.  I'm not sure why Grich never got serious consideration.

      I’ve always felt that 70 rWAR was the line between having to justify why someone shouldn’t be in the HOF versus justifying why they should.  In other words, if you’re over 70, there needs to be a reason for you NOT to be in.  There are 70 position players over 70 WAR, and the only ones not in are Bonds, Pujols (not yet eligible), Trout (not yet eligible), Rose, Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Raffy Palmeiro, Bobby Grich, and Carlos Beltran.  Really, only Dahlen, Whitaker and Grich have no obvious reason why they’re not in.  And I wouldn’t bet against Beltran getting in eventually.  He’s gotten  46% and 57% of the ballots his first two tries.

      Recency bias: "Is a common distorting effect within systems of performance appraisal. It refers to the appraiser assessing employee performance, not on work undertaken across the full performance management cycle, but only on recent events or activities that can be readily recalled. Recency bias can be countered by keeping a record of appraisee performance over the full period of work that is being appraised." https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100407676

      You're right, I shouldn't assume he's a hole. More of an unknown (11 career AB). Still, an outfield of Slater, one unknown, and one hole isn't exactly ideal. I think Mountcastle 1B/Santander RF is pretty clearly preferable to Santander 1B/Kjerstad RF vs LHP when you include defense.

      I forget which game it was (Fri or Sat) but he also pulled a ball foul down the LF line that nearly snuck inside the pole. So he was close to having 2 HRs in the series
