I do think they should consider someone that goes by Buck as their next manger.

The brother of the closer who the other Buck didn't put in the WC game... ties in nicely.

Hmm... come to think of it that you wrote manger by accident..... What's famous with that?  Ah yeah, Jesus in the manger.  And Buck coached the Switch Hitting Jesus....

Okay okay... I'll stop now. :D

The only fact here is that you have no idea what Elias was thinking when he hired Hyde.

Hyde isn't perfect, but I do believe he's the perfect manager for this club.  The Orioles have done right by him in letting him steer the ship from being a dumpster fire to a team that should be winni

Hey, no James McCann slander! These Orioles aren't going to go 14-42 but I think Hyde would run Sarasota next spring even if they did.     Elias with Sig's help makes his big decisions carefully,

Thought Hyde coached a good game even though I believe the lineup card is discussed with analytics. One thing that doesn’t make sense is he doesn’t stand up for his team in terms of the strike zone. Last night was the third consecutive game Cleveland had a better zone than us. After Perez throws 3 strikes to Kwan in 4 pitches and the count being 3-1 he should have gone out.

Managers can make a difference....look at the Guardians first year manager Vogt.

He has taken a team that was sub .500 last year and as a first year coach has them playing with the best record in baseball.  Fundamentally sound baseball.  Night and day compared to how the Os are playing.

I go back to Buck or Davey Johnson or all the way back to Earl.    Managers make a difference. 

Hyde is not it. 

In November of 1983 were you saying Joe Altobelli was a better manager than Earl Weaver?   Weaver hadn’t won a WS since 1970 and didn’t make the playoffs in 80-82 and Altobelli wins EVERYTHING in his first year.   Now that’s managing!

Gone out and got tossed?   Do you think ML umps get intimidated by managers and and start giving close calls to that team?

Managers make a difference off the field. On the field, there is very little difference.

If you don’t think Hyde has made an off the field difference, you are a fool.

Some of the takes on Hyde are just absolutely moronic IMO. The Orioles are still bottom third in payroll and started last season next-to-last. The Orioles routinely field at team with four or even five players in the lineup in their first or second year in the ML. Their bullpen is mainly a collection of "Who?" players. The O's mix-and-match against opponents like crazy. The number of moving parts on the roster is pretty wild. Hyde has held a team together who blows a lot of leads, has had to come from behind so many times the past two years, etc. Hyde has objectively done a great job with a bunch of youngsters, a lot of "Who?" players, and a bunch of role-playing vets.  The number of correct calls Hyde makes is pretty amazing IMO.

When your team's star players (Henderson & Rutschman) continuously have egregious strikes called on them- someone needs to stand up for them.  Does it change the result? No. But at least umpires know that the O's are going to just lay down and take it. 

Furthermore- it's the principle. Hyde needs to show a pulse.

You think the umps care if they "lay down and take it" or if they run out on the field and get themselves ejected?

You think a pitch gets thrown and the ump goes, "I'd call that a strike but I'll get yelled at, better call it a ball."?

It could change the result of future games if your manager habitually shows up the umpires. I am fine with Hyde getting thrown out once in a while but I would take Hyde over Boone all day, any day

Much more likely the opposite.

So what's the solution? Just sit and dugout and say "oh well. it is what it is" ???

      Take one for the team Adley

      By ScGO's · Posted

      Its usually not, but in this case it is. If a ball is on the outside edge or top of the zone, Adley needs to look to drive it, bc the result right now is typically 0-1.  Those pitches can be hit for HRs or XBH if you're timed up and in this case, looking for it. Mike Trout talked about this indepth a few years ago. They pitch him differently every year. Analytics and data show holes in your swing or approach and the only way to beat it is to adjust. If Adley is looking for that first pitch location at the top of the zone, and cheats his set up to get to it more easily, he could get hot quick. Same with the outside strike: if you look for 1st pitch CB on the outside half of the strike zone and you get it, it can be absolutely barreled. Just gotta guess right, and in this case, there seems to be a lot of patterns and evidence that if Adley was commmitted to swinging at it and studying the analytics, he could guess right. But patterns show that if anything comes in with spin or near the edges, Adley don't bite on 1st pitch; however, again, typically 0-1 Looking for certain pitches on the edge to swing at early in counts is not a recipe for success if the scouting reports aren't recommending thats the way to attack you. Reports show Adley rarely swings 1st pitch as it is. He's not adjusting. Once he starts barreling 1st pitched edge strikes (even some balls), they will have to learn to pitch him differently.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By ScGO's · Posted

      JD Davis is at Norfolk; Garrett Cooper is on the 7 Day DL down there.  Davis has been terrible, Cooper was good until he got hurt; any chance he comes back?  Terrin Vavra is back in the fold. Niko Goodrum and Daniel Johnson are having good AAA seasons. Big shrug of the shoulders with that group but its not all that differentiated from the back of the lineup & bench right now; why not start cycling some AAAA guys through over the next couple weeks to see if you can catch lightening in a bottle?  Make some statements sending a few guys to the bench and potentially DFAing Jiminez, Slater, Soto, or Maton. Keep peeling them off until you get Mounty, Westburg, Kjerstad, and Urias back. If one of these AAAA guys performs, ride the wave until its over, then move on to the next guy or cut him when you get an IL guy back.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      These are some good points. The loss of Mountcastle and Urias has really hurt us of late, especially since Holliday is not producing and the Orioles choose to trade Norby and Stowers for Rogers. Both of them would look better in the lineup than Maton, Rivera or Slater, or Jimenez. We already knew losing Westburg was going to hurt as well, but we thought Mayo would produce if called up, and he's struggled as bad as Holliday.  The fact that Holliday and Mayo together have been pretty much zeroes makes me question the Orioles hitting development too. I mean, we expect young players to struggle a bit in the beginning, but together they have gone 5-for-64 (.078) with 34 strike outs in there first 11 games of their careers. How is that even possible?  I mean, the Orioles could have batted pitchers and probably gotten better results.  Since going on that tear when he hit 5 home runs in 10 games when he came back up, Holliday has slashed a pitiful .180/.229/.247/.476 with 31Ks in 96 PAs. That's an absolute zero at the plate.  Over that same span, Adley Rutschman has slashed .180/.258/.231/.489 in 89 PAs. That's a blackhole too. How about that big bopper Elias got at the All-Star break. Jimenez is  slashing .177/.239/.274/.513 in 67 PAs over that span. There's your 3rd blackhole. How about Ryan O'Hearn? Well he's in his annual disappearance act in the second half slashing .212/.268/.303/.571 in 71 PAs. 4th blackhole.  So since August 11th, the Orioles have a lineup full of blackholes and have some how managed to go 12-13, which I guess is a good thing considering the way they've hit. Gunnar and Santander to a lesser extent have been carrying this team and one or two of these blackholes need to start producing again.

      Usually a trip to Boston is a good prescription for an ailing offense. To take advantage of Fenway Park you have to hit it out of the infield, though.

      At this point if you told me they went 9-9 and finished 91-71 I'd be more than satisfied. Probably wouldnt be good enough for the division though unless 2 or 3 of the wins were against NYY. Hard to see them beating any decent team in a series though right now.

      Yeah I had the thought of moving Mullins back up recently as well. Mainly just to get Adley out of that spot though.

      Yesterday was certainly a hate-watch.  Then I got in the truck and hate-listened while doing errands. I'd like to see some guys come off the IL and get back to playing normal but the clock is ticking and I'm afraid that's too much to ask for.  I'd like to believe that the team can go on a run but as you said that's blind faith.
