I don’t think he’s pushing them too hard but they are clearly pressing or in their heads right now. There are a lot of things he doesn’t have control over (RISP hitting, SP/BP issues, etc.) and you’re right that it’s a young team and hopefully just a learning curve, but things seem to be snowballing. It’s not easy and probably not fair, but he controls the clubhouse and needs to calm things down for his team. 

This guy kept players centered through 110 loss seasons, I don't think it's a personality issue or an inability to make guys comfortable. He's not throwing anyone under the bus, they are playing like trash right now and he can't put a glove on or go hit for them, they need to do better and maybe he should bring Anthony Robbins in for a pep talk to turn the team around, but I doubt that works. They are grown men who need to figure their stuff out.

Hard to blame Hyde when Elias won’t provide him the players he needs.

I don’t really think he is doing anything wrong but if he can’t get his team out of their own heads, that usually falls on the manager/coach, whether it’s fair or not. I’m not saying he needs to be fired, just that he probably needs to do something to help his guys snap out of it right now.

What about in the  last month

It’s a 162 game season.  
 

In the last 2 years they have the best record in MLB. 
 

I don’t put a ton of stock in one month.  I expect them to return to the mean.

“probably not fair”.   Well, you got that part right.

You weren't including the defense and hitting issues?

Roster configuration is odd. There’s not really a RH bat. But, there’s a guy in Norfolk who could help out if the GM would stop trying to play service time games and believe the owner who says he’ll spend. 
 

Now, Hyde definitely has some bullpen management problems and an over deference to veterans, but I think the bigger problem is the complacency from Elias. Never made an effort to add pitching this off-season.

I mean it’s not but that’s the reality of pro sports. Again, not calling for him to be fired. He shouldn’t be. But the status quo also isn’t working right now.

Ok.   You’re not happy and you want him to make everything better.   Me too.   But it’s pro sports.  It doesn’t work that way.  Ask the Dodgers, Yankees, and Braves managers.

Or they are regressing to the mean now

    • I was thinking the same thing regarding the short possessions. The lack of 4th quarter offense had played a big part in these late game collapses.  This team investing in a RB like Henry makes no sense with how the coaches run this offense. That money would've been much better spent on someone who would've kept Faaele on the sideline.
    • Yeah. I mean analytics obviously is huge in baseball these days. Still people like myself who have been watching the 0's since the early 1960's still are entitled to view and comment on things from the eye and between the ears test.  I don't get upset when people speak about deep stats and numbers... Moose saying opinions are obnoxious because people comment about  things from an old perspective is not only kind of dismissive, it's kind of rude too. We all have opinions.  
    • And think of how many quick offensive possessions we have too. That leads to a tired defense. They ran Henry once in the 4thQ yesterday. They didn’t target Zay after he caught his TD pass. They used 12 personnel less than last week and barely used play action, despite the fact that Crosby was all over them.    No game plan. No thought on how to do anything. Made Henry a priority and then you don’t know how to use him. Just stupidity all around.
    • The Orioles like to try and give this award to someone considered a prospect so McDermott and Povich can't be ruled out despite their partial seasons there. Brandon Young should definitely be in the running though.
    • It's going to be an extremely anticlimactic and somewhat undeserved champagne celebration when the O's eventually clinch what we have to assume will be the wild card. Like, it's hard to imagine a party of any kind right now. They will do it though, and that's fine. It'll just feel weird from the fan perspective. 
    • Here something else to consider. Do the Orioles have a lot of players who have a tendency to hit the ball to the same parts of the field? Seems to me that the other team's advanced scouts do a good job of positioning their fielders against the Orioles more often than not. Now maybe it's just bad luck. Or maybe, teams have figured out how to pitch and defend against the Orioles hitters?  I'm not saying they do or not, but I do know this team has been absolutely pathetic hitting with RISP late;ly and having productive at bats. Seems the Orioles hitting philosophy is hit the ball as hard as possible at all times and let "luck" decide the results.  
    • It's a good thing Irvin only cost the Orioles this guy: I was pretty skeptical of Hernaiz being anything more than a utility guy and had no issues with moving him for a guy who could potentially help in the rotation. This problem with Irvin is he went from this guy in 2023: to this guy in 2024: Don't worry though, we could lose Irvin because we have this guy in AAA who we gave up Norby and Stowers for:
