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 have won 1 series against a non CHW  or COL team since 8/1. If Seattle loses tonight, they will not have won a series against a team above .500 since 6/18-6/20 in NY. Almost 3 months.

Bad bullpen management tonight aside, the real problem is that Hyde hasn’t been able to wake his team up from whatever the hell is going on in that clubhouse, and that’s on him. A lot of the depth has been sapped with the injuries, but this goes far beyond that. 

Sure but that stretch also included three 4 game splits against CLE, BOS and HOU so it isn’t like there have been no quality wins.

O’Neil is batting .317 / .432 / .733 vs LH pitchers this season. There is no way in hell you let him bat against Akin in the 10th inning with a base open. Even if the intentional walk puts the go ahead run at 2nd you cannot let him swing the bat. 
 

No Way.

No How.

Not in this lifetime. 
 

The fact that Hyde let Akin pitch to O’Neil in extra innings in the middle of a pennant race is a borderline firing offense. It’s an Ubaldo over Britton level of incompetence.

The same people crying and complaining now are the ones that were clamoring the first two months when we were winning to bring up the young guys and we will be even better and Elias was dumb for not doing it.  Now they are up and the continue to cost us games and we are blaming the manager.  

They’ve been a .500 team for 3 months. That’s been with or without the young guys, with Burnes pitching well or horribly, with Gunnar hitting well or slumping, with or without Rodriguez and Westburg, with or without the TDL acquisitions. It hasn’t mattered who’s healthy, who’s hitting/pitching well, or even who is on the roster the last 3 months.

They’ve played well below their talent level regardless of who is injured and that’s a reflection of the manager.

Not me. I wanted to explore trades for anybody. I even suggested a Basallo for Miller swap. I still want to trade Kjersted, and would be happy to trade anyone.

And i blame Hyde for not using his pieces well. His usage may be forced on him by the Overlords, but if not, it’s all on him.

He said he didn’t walk him because he was worried about Refsnyder pinch hitting next even though he hadn’t been used as a PH against Perez.

Off day tomorrow, you have your Tier A arms in Perez, Cano, Dominguez. Offense sputtering, so you know it’s probably going to go into extras. And you…take out Cano after he only threw 2 pitches? And then think Akin in extra innings (high leverage, runner on) is a good idea?

It’s one thing if it was the 12th or 13th and you’re out of options. But come on.

Also, once the Holliday error happened, you just can’t let Akin pitch to O’Neill who clobbers lefties. Yoshida is terrible against them. It was a no brainer. 

I really don’t understand Hyde’s logic. Yeah, too many defensive miscues tonight and once again piss poor hitting with RISP. But Hyde isn’t helping with these other decisions.

And after a while, pointing out various reasons why the team loses, such as weak defense or benig short-handed in the pen, even though legit, begin to sound like a tired excuse. Problems like the infield flubbing easy plays or having the wrong relievers on the mound in crucial situations--seems solvable, not something wildly, mysteriously beyond one's control.

If Refsnyder pinch hits you bring in a righty to face him.  At that point Akin would have faced three hitters, right?

You dont walk the winning run to second. Holliday mucked it, it's not on Hyde.

Despite what Kevin Brown said, I assumed Refsnyder didn’t PH because we would have gone to Cano.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      What's the excuse for the hitting, are you serious? Cowser strikes out all the time, he's not a polished product. Holliday is an automatic out.   Mayo is an automatic out. If you're doing the math, that's about 9 outs a game right there between those three. O'Hearn is a platoon guy, he's playing more than he should. Tony's prone to hellacious slumps that are on the other end of the spectrum from his amazing hot streaks. Slater's decent against lefties, not much else. Adley's not great this year. Jimenez is a joke. So as it stands right now, you've got two guys in the everyday lineup that look like competent hitters in Gunnar and Mullins. And you ask what's the excuse for the hitting?  Half these guys aren't ready, the others aren't great players and/or can go on extended cold streaks like Tony. What, you thought a stern talking-to was going to make Cowser stop striking out?

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      To get to 88 wins this is what teams have to do September record so far () Orioles 4-7 (6-8) Royals 6-4 but we hold tiebreaker (7-9) Twins 8-3 but we will hold tiebreaker with 1 win vs them , or if they lose 1 game vs Guardians, or we win 1 vs Yanks.  (7-9) Tigers 9-1 if we are tied most likely they will hold tiebreaker.  (10-5)   Mariners are eliminated as we hold tiebreaker.   All 3 of those have to happen for us not to make it.  Tigers play Royals tonight so 1 of those teams will get a loss.   As bad as we have been we haven’t lost 1 game in September vs the Royals or Twins.

      I hope so. But it’s not a guarantee and other people can have a differing of opinion. I wish we weren’t here. But we are where we are.

      No one has to be a fall guy. That’s Carolina Panthers stuff…that’s how you get a poor org. They just need to be better and do more in the offseason.

      What’s the excuse for the hitting?  Hyde said after the Marlins series in Miami that this team has been talked to about giving ABs away with a lead.  So it’s obvious that Hyde can’t get through to them. I like Hyde. But you can’t change the players. So you gotta change the guy giving them the message. The message from the manager ain’t working.  Also, it’s never really the manager’s fault. Someone just has to be the fall guy. That’s how life works.

      I don’t think they want to make the playoffs at this point. They’d rather get to their vacation spots and golf trips.
