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

I figured he had at least a year.  Hopefully they don’t rush him.  That hasn’t worked out too well.   Maybe it will time out well 

He by no means put up dominate numbers in AA/AAA this year. Didn't even clear 20 homers.

Don't get me wrong, I think he is a very good prospect. But so was Adley. We have had better prospects recently than Basallo.

Yeah. Make someone else beat you.  

Also, Hyde is the manager. So what that Burnes wants to face him? Of course he does, he’s an elite starting pitcher, they want to do it all. Hyde needs to have the level head and put him on first. They have ONE GUY! that you really need to worry about and they let him win. It’s insane.

This team was built with Adley, Gunnar, and Holliday being the cornerstones of this team.  Gunnar has held up his end of the bargain though he still presses to much at times but that happens with age.  Holliday doesn’t look ready yet which is why he hasn’t played much down the stretch when we are healthy but he is still 20 years old so not extremely worried about him yet.  Adley for whatever reason has fallen off the earth the second half either from injury, mechanics, or whatever else he might be dealing with.  No matter what it is we need at least 2 hopefully all 3 to be the superstars we expect long term.

I thought that at first, but you can still PR Holliday, then move Kjerstad to RF and Santander to 1st (Westburg at 3B). Sure it’s not a great defensive lineup, but it gives you a chance.

I was listening on radio and not familiar with Erceg’s delivery, but a steal of 2nd could have been the ticket, hard to get 2 hits against him.

What baserunning instincts has Holliday shown this year?  Yes he is fast in terms of sprint speed, but there have been several occasions of questionable baserunning by him this season. Also, let’s not forget (I think was game1) in last year playoffs, Gunnar got caught stealing late in game (unclear if was straight steal or hit/run).

He couldn't because he needed both O'Hearn (1B) and Holliday (for Kjerstad) for defense.

Couldn’t he put Kjerstad in right field, Santander at first, Holliday at 2nd, and Westburg at third?  If we get to Dominguez spot, pinch hit Austin Slater who would be replaced by next pitcher if game is extended.  We will have emptied our bench  and forced to hit our pitchers if we got back to 9 spot in extras, but you worry about that when you get there.

This would have been less complicated if we didn’t put ourselves in the position of losing our DH.

If Adley is so bad at controlling the running game that he isn't the starting catcher and he hit .207 post ASB, why is he even in the game at all? McCann has been a much better catcher and hitter than Adley post ASB.

 

Yes and you would ge to lose youre DH in what 3rd inning. That Hyde what an idoit.

Well he’s 4/4 in steals this year and has a +75% success rate in the minors. But regardless, do you prefer O’Hearn there running? Is that your point?

Yes, he could have done all that. So I suppose the question is whether O'Hearn's speed is more likely to cost us the game than the defensive downgrade at at least two positions. As it turned out, O'Hearn's speed was irrelevant, which is the most likely outcome. I think with a slower runner or more options left on the bench it would be a better play but O'Hearn has above average sprint speed.

Honestly, yes. Holliday has been too deer-in-headlights and underwhelming as a rookie to trust him to make good decisions in high leverage situations.  I wish that wasn’t the case, but that’s the evidence so far.

Why would you have to trust him to make the decisions? Did they get rid of the base coaches for the playoffs?

Trust him to get a good jump, trust him not to get picked off, trust him to not get doubled up on a liner, etc. More to being a good baserunner than speed. Doubly so for a struggling 20 year old player.

      Will Gunnar, Adley and company ever win a single playoff game in an Os uniform? It’s become a valid question. Nothing leads me to believe that they will.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Norby is RH. What we needed were LH bats against Ragan's reverse splits.  Norby's .732 is lower than Urias's .745. I don't see any reason to think his bat would have been the difference, and Urias was excellent in the field today.

      They were saving him for when the thought he was needed most with lefties up they probably pull it so going 1st to 3rd in Camden Yards isn’t usually a smart move with right fielders so close.   If it was to pinch run or possibly have to hit.  They were two spots away from getting to the pitcher spot where you would want a lefty to face Ercg.  As I have said lefties up you like to leave the hole between first and second unless you know it is an easy steal.  If he tries to steal and gets thrown out people are mad you made an out on the base paths and didn’t give the hitters a chance.  It all risk reward.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yeah after a rough stretch there Burnes has certainly turned things around. Depending what they do in the off season this rotation is going to be a mess with no Burnes, Bradish and with GRod always breaking down and then add this non clutch hitting offense in there to boot and I say Elias has his work cut out for him  big time to get this team back to the playoffs.. I know in my mind I'm a what have you done for me lately guy and this second half is what will stick in my mind not 2023 or the first half.

      or at DH, since apparently we don't have someone who can hit to play DH

      You have left handed batters so you don’t steal to leave open the hole.  They also are not gonna hut a fly ball you can tag up on to right field in Camden Yards.  O’Hearn is a decent runner that has very good baseball instincts it isn’t like it was Jiminez he is pinch running for.
