He didn’t have McCann bunt in the 3rd inning yesterday. Didn’t PH for him in the 5th. Admitted that he let Burnes make the choice to pitch to Witt yesterday (which scored the game winning run). 

Then today, he doesn’t PH for Cowser in with the bases loaded against a LHP. He has his best reliever throw 0.2 IP and then brings in Perez (who had a 4.50+ ERA on the season and a 9 ERA in September) in the biggest shutdown inning of the season. 

More than just those decisions, something is severely messed up in that clubhouse based on how they have performed in pressure situations. He can’t make them hit, but he also let their mindset/pressure handling completely snowball. That’s his clubhouse and they were completely lost the last 3 months and in this series. He’s also 0-5 in the playoffs. Results matter at the end of the day and he hasn’t won a single playoff game in 2 years and just got swept at home by an 86 win team. That’s not good enough whether you want to admit it or not.

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 weren’t loaded.  Going into that season they weren’t being picked to win their division. 

They had deGrom, Scherzer, Bassitt, man. 

Their offense had Alonso, McNeil, Lindor, Marte, Nimmo, and Canha.

Their bullpen had Diaz and Ottavino as their 1-2.

They were loaded!

Was pretty good for a year. 

I'm not advocating for Hyde but the problem seems deeper than him. It took a lot of losing to accumulate this talent,  but there's been a shortcoming of putting the finishing touches on it. I'd hate to see this team go down the same road as Toronto.

Hyde is about to speak. I bet he is his usual self and doesn’t call out this team and say they have to hit better.  Next year play all the young guys.  Get a veteran that can lead and knows how to hit.  Enough of this garbage. Mounty needs to go.  Get rid of Urias.  Mateo can stay.

I am not even saying it’s fair to completely blame this on Hyde, but they need a change.  He is too passive.

Everyone better get the delusion that Hyde will get fired out of their heads. Can’t wait for the offseason of “we’re getting guys back next year!” And “orioles interested in…insert free agent” only to watch them lowball like always. 
 

But, hey, we’re a great REGULAR season team at least!!

Yeah, at the end of the season that looked great. Going into the season plenty picked them to finish 3rd.

I can’t believe he didn’t PH Mountcastle in the 8th. His bullpen usage was fine today and I can’t critique culture or whatever, but that was a no brainer to me.

I can’t believe he let Cowser bat in the bases loaded inning.  What is this man thinking????   Then he subs for him later.   Too late pal.

One thing I hate to break to everyone is Rubinstein is going to be an incredible disappointment.  I don’t think he will spend that much more and will spend less as a percentage of the top clubs than Angelos did in the 2014-2017 era.

I don't like a lot of Hyde's decisions but I don't have a problem with anything he did this series. Ramon Urias getting a bad read and not scoring from 2nd yesterday on a single. Cowser swinging on a would-be RBI HBP. Jordan Westburg throwing to the wrong base. None of these are on Hyde. We could use Bobby Dickerson back though to teach some fundamentals.

I think he'll spend but I think he'll ramp it up over time and not have a blowout off-season like the mets with what's his name did

      Option decisions …

      By e16bball · Posted

      The splits for the second half definitely do kinda look like that on the surface, but it was more an issue of one awful slump, rather than an overall second half swoon, especially in 2023. In 2023, he really just had a terrible week or so, which unfortunately happened to be the last week of the season. He went 0 for his last 23, dropping his OPS from .855 to .801 in the process. Prior to that dreadful week, he’d posted an .846 OPS in the second half. This past season, of course, it was almost a whole terrible month — starting right around the day Mountcastle went out. From 8/18 to 9/15, he put up a .411 OPS over the span of 80 PAs. Absolutely awful. But sandwiched around that malaise were two good second half stints, with a combined .926 OPS in 130 second half PAs before and after that tailspin.    Anyhow, I don’t think there’s any way they decline that option. The guy is a quality hitter, so even if they do want to move on — which I don’t think they will — he’d have value to somebody at that relatively low price. Especially if they were willing to eat a few bucks to sweeten the return. If they somehow get a bona fide starting RF from outside the organization, then I think maybe they move him. You don’t want him blocking Kjerstad again, but at present, I think it’s reasonable to imagine that they could both find 400-500 PAs.

      Im not sure what the deal is with Holliday-to-CF truthers, but he was above average by OAA, average by UZR, and slightly below by DRS at 2B, so it feels like we should give him the opportunity to improve there rather than move him to a position he hasn't really played in his career.

      Perez seems like an easy re-up to me. You need arms, they're not all going to be perfect. He's got some strengths.

      They did guarantee his arbitration years but they didn’t add any years to their control.

      Tis' the season for over the top, which should end around Opening Day... Sign Bregman, move Westburg back to 2B.  Lose O'Hearn and make Kjerstad the LH platoon at 1B along with Mountcastle.  Holliday quickly transitions to CF (because if Merrill can do it, naturally so can Holliday) and Mullins is in RF along with a RHB 1-year FA stopgap while Mayo learns RF in Norfolk.  Henderson, Rutschman, Cowser no change. If someone brings up the subject of defense, kindly look the other way.
