82 degrees in Durham NC. Nice night to watch on the iPad with the wife and Great Pyrenees pup in the backyard. 

 

So everyone has their own Homer Hose nipple or what? Go Rhino!

 

I see Ben agrees.

I don't care if Tate got one of the two guys out that he faced, that's the kind of Kevin Cash robo-managing that will lose you a clubhouse longterm. 

So disappointed in Hyde. He just showed me he doesn't have any feel for a game, but will follow the robo manager script no matter what.

I'm tired of seeing these s***ty umpires with their expanded strike zones.  It works against the O's because our hitters generally have excellent strike zone judgment that they then get penalized for.   

And is it just me, or does it seem that for some reason our pitchers aren't as good at taking advantage at expanded strike zones?

He's done this several times before and it rubs me wrong too. This time was more justifiable given who was hitting.

Are we watching the end of Tate?  If he loses any more velocity he will be crush time.  How many relievers can get by throwing 89-90 mph?  

Got to hope this off season he gets plenty rest and it livens up again.

It might be the end..or he needs some vitamins. In any case, push is coming to shove soon.

You guys can make all the excuses you want for Hyde. BS frickin' move. You don't pull your starter there. You just don't. I don't like that kind of managing. He just became Kevin Cash. Screw the starter, screw the plate, if the SIGBOT computer says there is a .1% better chance of working out in their favor he makes the move.

If the hitter was in scoring position, maybe. Two out, guy on first, give him a shot.

I learned to eat FF with Mayo in the Army in Germany.  The natives there did it.  Heard it was started in the Netherlands or something.  I still do eat it that way once in a while.  Taught my family to do it.

    • I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?
    • I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?  
    • Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.
    • Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.
    • Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are. 
    • I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.  
    • Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
