Imagine if the Orioles could play defense?  This whole game might have been different. 

I think Gunnar and Adley are the best players but they are young and not bringing anything to the team the last month.  A whole month of suck is going to kill you. 

Yeah if the D just makes the plays they should have it is completely different.

The odd thing is both GH and AR just do not seem like the guys we have seen lately.  Wearing the special shoes and the super flamboyant outfits.

They seem like flannel shirts and jeans type of guys.   It is very possible that they have let social media and the hype get to them.

Time to get back to their roots and who they really are.

Adley isnt even as good as Wieters was.  Wieters had an amazing throwing arm and for a big guy was hard to run on.  Adley has not been good at throwing out runners in three years.  So far out of either switch hitting Jesus Wieters has been better.

Rubinstein doing this would concern me far more than the team’s play right now.

I agree. Fans are so fickle. If you fire everyone when they have a bad day, you would've have a team left. All you would have is low level untalented replacements like scabs because you fired all the talent and no one else worth their status wants to work in that type of environment.

    • No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.
    • I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see. 
    • You think Hyde alone makes the decision?
    • Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings
    • It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us. 
    • Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason. 
    • And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
