This is a game thread, so I know this is an impossible request, but does anyone have a remotely logical theory as to why removing Irvin made sense?

We will have to wait for the post game press conference to find out. Any theory is just taking a wild guess.

Barmer with the walk

Kjerstad on base 3 times. He is definitely earning more ABs.

That third strike to Steer was right down the middle, begging to be hit into the seats.

Thank the baseball gods that Steer was looking for something else, and don't let Irvin pitch any more tonight.

Manny just hit a bomb.   Little Stuey Fairchild wasn't there to rob it.

[OriolesMagic83]

Couple more runs here would be nice!

Suarez will pitch a bunch of innings if Means has a short outing.

 

Yeah but if you have a late inning lead Hyde will have burned Cano for no reason, so he might be less effective or unavailable in game 3 now.

This bonehead move has long-range implications. Hyde just took a gun and shot himself in the nuts.

[Moose Milligan]

McKenna! Someone was telling me that Hyde lost confidence in McKenna all of a sudden the other day. I guess that’s over now.

Why did they take Jamie Irvin out with 72 pitches?

Uli2001, meet Brandon Hyde. I don't think there's any other way to explain it.

[Roy Firestone]

we must have 6 pop ups in the infield or in foul territory tonight..

Jury's still out on that. Even if the 'pen holds this one, Hyde could end up screwing himself tomorrow if Means has a short outing. 

I'm done with Hyde. Unfortunately though I don't see any other potential manager doing anything differently. 

It's the new unwritten rule in baseball. If the manager hasn't come out of the dugout by the eight inning, he gets pied in the face.

[Aristotelian]

Why not Cowser there? Is Urias not available for defense?

[Moose Milligan]

Would like to see Gunnar do some damage off Barmer.
