Grayson was pushed over 100 with some long AB's. I thought he was taken out at the right time, Tate just didn't get the job done.

I thought Tate was the wrong choice but Grayson had to come out there.

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

A bunch of debatable decisions tonight but the one that stuck out for me was the choice to pull Webb for Perez in the 6th with two outs and a left-handed hitter coming up.  Webb was pitching well and he has an excellent changeup--there's no need to bring in a lefty.   Perez is shaky at best but it would have been better to save him for later in case Soto came up with men on base.

You could have left him in. That said Cano was going to be the guy facing Stanton if men were on base in that spot. The defense almost lost the game.

Pinch hitting for O’Hearn was one of the worst decisions I’ve seen this year. And yes, I know the splits.

Hays has been good lately. To me it was a no brainer move.

I don't normally have an issue with Hyde's calls, but this one even I couldn't ignore. I checked and O'Hearn only has 11 AB vs lefties with, yes, poor numbers, but the one I was most interested in was K's: NONE! You take out one of our best hitters in a 1 run game in the 9th when all we need is some contact and you put in the guy who routinely swings at junk balls? Bad form, Peter, bad form!

The decision to bring in Perez in that situation is even harder to understand considering that Akin was probably not available tonight, so by bringing Perez to face a rookie in an ordinary situation you leave yourself with only Vespi in case there is a situation later on requiring a situational lefty.  

Coulombe's injury is a huge loss for the Orioles--our lefty relief corps is now very weak--but it's what we have for now and Hyde needs to be smart about when to bring in a lefty.

But if you go beyond those 11 ABs, you’ll find that his career K rate against LHPs is nearly 30%. Of the balls he has been able to put into play against lefties, over 70% of them have been either ground balls or infield flyballs. Some of those ground balls might have gotten through for hits — but many of them likely also would have been DPs in that situation.

That’s an awfully high combined rate of bad outcomes. Hard to blame a manager for playing those numbers. 

Anecdotally, I think Hays seems to squeeze the absolute life out of the bat in high-stakes situations, so I was very concerned about throwing him out there in that spot. But I think I still would have done it — the numbers are pretty tough to deny.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
