I saw a post on Twitter about how mediocre we’ve been ever since the HBP-filled series with the Yankees, and speculated that maybe Hyde lost the clubhouse with how he handled that situation. 
 

It’s Twitter so take it with a grain of salt. But the timeline does check out. Pretty weird how we went from clobbering the Yankees to 2+ months of this crap. 

I would also say the O's have been injury filled since that time as well. Don't get me wrong, they still have been mediocre,  but I don't believe that Hyde "lost" the team.

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

That's my opinion as well, but I never posted because it's such a conspiracy type thing.

I keep thinking back to that robbery of a three run home run by that Rays centerfielder against Gunnar, it totally deflated me and maybe the team as well. 


If that's the case, this team is mentally weak. And this team has been struggling long before that.

I'm not so sure I'd quibble over 302 vs 316. That's a 1.4% difference and over the span of 44 at bats, that doesn't even mean 1 extra hit.

I think in *that circumstance*, however, I really despise hitters going up there hacking on the first pitch when the pitcher is clearly struggling. And O'Hearn didn't have the excuse about facing a lefty. So that should have been O'Hearn's bread/butter.

To me it felt that O'Hearn went up there guessing/assuming he was going to get something middle/middle, and he was very, very wrong. 

I can see the thought of taking pitches in that situation with a pitcher struggling to throw strikes.  We can all debate on O'Hearns ability but he was your cleanup hitter yesterday so the hope is he gets a pitch and does some damage.  

My issue is more with how you are not just hunting a fastball there and making sure you get the bat head out in front instead of getting semi jammed and flaring it to left field.  If you are committed to swinging at that first pitch you have to be looking at a certain spot if you don't get it, you let it go.  You just can't get jammed in that situation.

I don't know if Hyde's lost the clubhouse but I sure would like to be a fly on the wall. Even going back to the Austin Hays trade. I'm curious how that all went down. It seemed like that move took a lot of players by surprise.

There's sort of a malaise with this club and even listening to Hyde during his pressers, he seems worn out.

Wouldn't you be worn out?  The guy has lost half his team to the IL, is running out pitchers and position players he probably never dreamed of ever meeting, let alone having to insert into the lineup, in his worst nightmares.  His team is in a long-term funk.  Sounds stressful as hell to me.  I don't think he's lost the clubhouse but I do think the season has worn on him and on others more than usual.

I thought Elias traded Hays.

It's literally his job to deal with things like that.

At least none of his players have been outed as a pedophile.

Not saying I want him dismissed because right now I'm on the fence. He's had a lot of injuries to deal so this has to be under consideration  but it's crazy how this season has went off the rails. My question is if you guys want to keep him do you suggest he relieves some of his coaches of their duties and for those who want him gone please give me some names that you like.

Losing -> Frustration/The appearance of low energy 

Winning -> Fun/The appearance of high energy

In the absence of actual evidence (player conflicts, direct comments about clubhouse atmosphere, etc), I will always believe the "low energy" complaints are more due to the above than anything related to weak effort, the manager losing the clubhouse, etc.

Was a reference to what the Rays had to deal with last year.

Are you also ignorant of what happens with every other team?

It was kinda a big deal.

Yeah I’m aware of it. I knew what you were referencing. 
 

Still a very low bar to clear.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By milbest77 · Posted

      I have to think something is going on behind the scenes. They look like they have just quit. Hyperbole, I know, but I wonder if there is anxiety over new ownership wanting their own people in the FO? Before you all tear me apart, IT’S JUST AN OBSERVATION!

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Some don’t like this quote from Hyde but this kind of goes back to what the hitting coaches are saying. The coaches (if we are to believe them) are preparing these guys but once they get in the box, things are changing. This is all mental with these guys. It is time for them to relax and start having fun again. They need a players only team meeting and get themselves loosened up.

      I doubt it is normal, though I’m sure that well more than half the pitchers who pitch for any particular team were not drafted by that team.   Teams use so many pitchers these days, and there are so many pitchers who cycle around the league off the waiver wire.

      Couple of things about what Mike said: 1).   Grayson will not start during the regular season.    Time has run out to build him up.   That means Burnes, Eflin. Suarez, Kremer and Povich the rest of the way if they can stay healthy.   Maybe Grayson as an opener or a reliever in the playoffs. Coulombe  as early as Friday.  I am guess either Smith or Kimbrel go. Westy and  Urias  on rehab  in the next few days.   Getting these guys back could be a  big mental boost for the team.  What level of performance they will be able to produce coming off a layoff is another things.      I would think Mayo and Holliday are optioned. Mountcastle is swinging but his wrist is still sore.   Where that goes in anyones guess.   If he comes back Jimenez will not be needed. 2).  When Mike says this has been a winning team for that last two years and he believes they can get back to that,  to me he is not just talking about the team.     He is talking about himself.    This is the first time Mike has experienced things not going the way he planned to this degree.    Quite frankly his looks a little shell shocked.    The pitching having troubles with injuries is reality to him.  Pitchers get hurt.    But his offense going from 5 runs per game in the first half  to almost zero is shocking to him.   He did not see that coming.  Adley, and O'Hearn were supposed to step up when needed.   Instead they took a step back.  None of Holliday, Mayo, or Kjerstad being able to help in the 2nd half was not the way this was planned.    Here is hoping the Westy, Urias and Kjerstad can help real soon.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      This board is smart enough to realize that the grass isn't always greener. The only way I see Hyde on the hot seat is if we miss the playoffs completely, which still feels very unlikely. Even then, I doubt he'd be fired during the offseason, but maybe. But then what? I don't think you give Buck Britton a shot at this roster. He's doing his thing and doing it well at AAA helping to develop guys. Could bring back Buck Showalter or Joe Girrardi, those sound like fun names. Or better yet, I bet everyone here with a torch and a pitchfork has their own little crystal ball with a short list of candidates ready to catch lightning in a bottle.

      The 4-run deficit was surmountable if we had more than one player who can hit the damn ball.   Kimbrel giving up six runs in the 9th may turn out to be a blessing.
