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

You don't agree? I don't think this is an over reaction. They have been below .500 for a month. They are playing terrible defense. 

I don’t agree.  You’re pressing more than the team is.   You need to get together with about 10-20 other guys on here and decompress.  Maybe a team meeting?   There’s no easy answer.   You keep playing the games and you start playing better.  Or not.   We have the talent.  We know these guys are giving maximum effort.  We’re getting reinforcements.   And maybe Cole Irvin needs to go when we add the next 1-2 pitchers.

Good grief.

Oh it won't end there.  Pretty soon someone on here will suggest that Hyde has "lost the team" and watch the reaction to that nonsense.

Or they are regressing to the mean now 

If they play under .500 for the next two months, I’ll concede that. 
 

Is that what you are suggesting will happen?

This stretch of bad games is a good test to see what kinds of fans we are.  I see a lot are failing, miserably.  Lol

It's almost like it's the first time some of them have never seen an O's team not do well. I'm old enough to have suffered through decades of it.

Braves just had one a few days ago.

“Yo, Matt!  Let’s hit like we did last year.  Sure thing, bro.  That’s a great idea. I’m glad we had this talk.  Now, if I hit a home run everyone will say it’s because of the team meeting.  Fans and media eat that stuff up.  Cool!”

Dealing with adversity and failure is worth its weight in gold.  In a 162 game season it will happen.  No way around that.  Couple thoughts on the slump. 

1. I expect the team to grow from this 

2. I sure as hell am glad it’s July and not September

Fair enough. I just think it can be helpful to bring everyone together and try to light a fire. 

The defense is unacceptable and that's something that shouldn't slump. The hitting? No idea what the solution is there.

There is a difference between not doing well and just playing mentally uninspired baseball.

And that is what the Os are doing.  This isn't a slump.  It is a mental collapse.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      By ledzepp8 · Posted

      Exactly right. He was literally robbed of a game tying 3 run homerun against, I believe it was the Rays.   For all the swing and miss in Cowser's game, he does make a lot of hard contact without positive results.

      Yep. Henry was supposed to be your closer and answer to collapses like this and then you still don’t use him!   It’s so dumb and so frustrating.

      Here's the lineup going forward, IMHO: Against Righties Gunnar - SS Mullins - CF Santander - RF Kjerstad - DH Cowser - LF Adley - C O'Hearn - 1B Holliday/Soto - 2B Rivera - 3B Against Lefties Slater - LF Gunnar - SS Santander - RF Adley - C Rivera - 1B Kjerstad - DH Cowser - CF Holliday/Soto - 2B Mayo - 3B At this point, you just don't start Eloy. You give him PH opportunities here/there, i.e. when O'Hearn is facing a lefty, for example. And you have to stop starting O'Hearn so much, especially in the field. I get it, Mounty isn't here, but you can give those opportunities to Rivera. When Ramon is back, I think you need to cut bait w/ Eloy, although knowing Elias, he'll probably option Mayo.

      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.
