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

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" ???

    • The Roku broadcast mentioned that GRod wish have multiple 3-4 inning rehab starts and then get one start at the Ml level at the end of the year. I would assume this is info they were told by the team and didn’t make it up but if so, I think it’s possible GRod goes to the pen for the playoffs if he’s not right yet. Remember, he has had mechanical issues coming back from injuries, so shorter stints could be in the cards for him especially if they need high leverage reliever help. We have to see how he looks coming back from the injury but don’t be surprised if that happens, despite the lack of starting rotation depth.
    • Also Not to be overlooked. Cowser is currently 5th in MLB in K%.   
    • At this point it's hoping that Mounty, Westburg, Urias and Kjerstad can come back and provide a jolt.  Maybe Adley can figure out a way to stop looking terrible...but as SG noted and I agree, I don't think he's 100% healthy. Move Mullins up to the 2 spot, drop Adley to 5th or 6th.  Hope Gunnar can stay hot.  That's about it.
    • Possibly, but I want to see if he can make adjustments first. Right now he's being beaten bc of his approach, not so much his tool set. Even though I don't love his LH bat speed, I think he can still have success from that side if he makes adjustments to his attack plan
    • No question. I don’t put anything on Mayo because the playing time is so inconsistent and he has had such few at bats that it’s not really effecting the team. I definitely thought Holliday would be producing better as of now but he’s also 20 and learning.    Before the season started, I consistently talked about how a big part of 2024 was Elias figuring out when to go with the inexperienced guys. It is a delicate balance. You need these guys to develop but you are also trying to win.    I think they have completely screwed up Mayo’s ML development this year. They didn’t play him at first enough, they called him up too late, they went away from him when maybe he was getting comfortable and now they aren’t playing him enough. Holliday is moving to a new position, trying to adjust and he’s just 20.    It’s a really tough situation for all involved but it’s also why I wanted to just go with these guys early and just take your lumps. Look at Milwaukee with Chuorio. His first 200 PA saw him have an OPS just over 600.  Since then, he has just about 300 PA and his OPS in that time frame is over 900.    Now I’m not saying this is what would have happened with Holliday but Chuorio hit that 200 PA mark in mid June. Holliday is still 28 PA from that…so maybe another week or so away from that. Milwaukee is going to the playoffs and they were patient with their 20 y/o star prospect. (Chuorio did start off better from day 1, which helped..struggled after) I really don’t think they have handled these situations as well as they should have and I think it’s hurting the team now.  
    • 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.
