Fire Hyde and brink up Britton.  Britton wins championships.  Hyde makes up silly nicknames for the guys.  

Eh.. I'm one of Hyde's biggest critics but this is more about the players. Hyde has no choice but to play the crap he's given

He called up Holliday before Westburg was hurt. How did he not show confidence in him?

Not trying to single anyone out - I mean all the golden children in the general sense, and the TBD if they need a Frobby character to teach them how to win, or whatever it was back before '66.

The odd thing is this team is not fundamentally strong.  That’s coaching. 

Fully what, a quarter of this team has been added to the roster in the last week? Not exactly much time to coach them.

Also, how much "coaching" do you think happens in-season? These guys are playing/on the road literally every single day. Do you think they're devoting a bunch of time to practicing rundowns?

Scott Barlow looks like he has a self-employed lawn service business Florida.

We are Clevelands toys.  They are crapping down our throats.  

Everyone is a damn rookie and none of them make plays.  Jackson screwed that play up.  

Guardians are going to be an extremely tough out in the playoffs with this bullpen. The only way to beat them is to get the jump on their starting rotation because it's game over once the game is handed to their relievers.

Giving up 18 runs (and counting) in 2 games with some of the worst pitching and defense we’ve seen all year will do it.

You forgot the hitting

Mayo’s looking around like “and they think MY defense is bad?”

Yeah Jackson at the age of 20 is absolutely horrible on defense.  He can get lots better.  Ripken was horrible with the errors his first couple years.  But dealing with it from ALL the rookies is frustrating.  None of our kids is any good at defense.

It's easy to forget.

Mountcastle walking back to the dugout looking stupid. A tradition like no other. 

[Yossarian]

The good news is, Mountcastle is back to swinging at stuff 2 feet out of the zone

I miss Westburg. I even miss Mateo

I miss them and Hays and Means and Wells and Bradish. After this game, even Cole Irvin.

Did I read it right?  Did 2 people score on a sac fly?

Mountcastle cut off Cedrics throw -- as he should have because the guy from 3rd was clearly going to score.   They got the guy between 1st and 2nd in a rundown and somehow the guy deked his way around Holliday to get back to first and then Holliday gunned a throw home to try to get the next guy at the plate and he was just safe.   Basically Holliday screwed up.

This made me laugh out loud
