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,

So does Hyde get credit for good pinch hitting decision yesterday and starting Jiménez vs a righty today?  I’m just curious if he only gets blame or if some shred of credit goes to him?

 

No no no. The cool thing now is to complain that we don't get calls because he doesn't yell at the umps enough.

I wasn’t aware Francona was planning on returning to baseball. This would have definitely been a move where it felt like a manager could have taken the O’s to that “next level”.

Yeah, I saw that this morning. And I was instantly depressed that we still have Hyde and now the Reds have Francona.  The Reds had the advantage of time to make this decision. But even if the timing had worked out where we could have made a move like this, I don't think postseason experience and success is something this organization values.

Will note that Stephen Vogt will be a MOY finalist, at minimum, for taking the same roster that retired Francona and doing 16.5 games better, with a division championship and a bye.

Will also note that NL MOY finalists will include Mendoza and Schildt, both of whom will get there on the back of taking over high-money, high-talent rosters that failed under the sort of managers many seem to be seeking.

Will also also note that the lesson to take from the Warriors replacing Mark Jackson with Steve Kerr probably isn’t the benefit of a hard-nosed disciplinarian who eschews the modern style for old-school tactics.

      2025 Starting Lineup

      By Gatoriole · Posted

      I'm surprised this topic has not been created. My apologies if I missed it. What do you see the team rolling out there next April and why? Here's what I have: 😄 Adley/McCann? 1B: Mountcastle/Urias/Mayo 2B: Holliday/Mateo SS: Gunnar 3B: Westburg LF: Cowser CF: Mullins RF: Kjerstad DH: O'Hearn? I'm seeing a lot of discussion about changing the team and hitting approach, but I think a lot of these guys are locked in. By Position: Catcher- Adley will be back (and hopefully back to his former self). We'll get a back up. Could be McCann. 1B- This may be the most likely place we could make a change. I think it's less likely than probably most think. But if we want to change up our offense, it may mean moving on from Mountcastle and I think that will depend on what we can get back for him. I think the plan would be to put Mayo there long term. Urias could be a placeholder until Mayo is ready (if he isn't at the beginning of the season). After the way 2024 played out with injuries, I think Urias will be back (rather than trade him or non-tender).  2B- I think this is Holliday's spot. But we will also bring Mateo back as utility and in case Holliday falters. They could also platoon some here. SS- Gunnar 3B- Westburg can play elsewhere in the infield, but will start somewhere. Where he plays depends more on who else starts. LF- Like Westburg, Cowser will start. It's a question of CF or LF. CF- I think we bring back Mullins. I don't see us signing or trading for a replacement who can fill the defensive void Mullins would leave. With our big left field, it makes it hard to move Cowser to CF and bring in a bat in LF. RF- I don't think Santander will be back. Kjerstad probably makes the most sense as a replacement. Mayo has been discussed as an option in RF, but I don't think he has played there yet in the minors. Seems like he's ticketed for 1B if 3B doesn't work out. If we're looking to change up the hitting, we could sign someone to play here.  DH- There is some crossover with RF here, but this is another spot where we could bring someone in. I could see us bringing back O'Hearn on his option too. I believe the above would leave one roster spot, which would need to be dedicated to a RH 4th OF, who ideally can play all 3 spots in the OF. I guess we could get a corner and just move Cowser over when Mullins needs a day off, but he needs to be someone we are comfortable playing in our big LF at least. This is probably a role player who may not make a big difference, but would be pretty important if we have three starting outfielders who all hit left handed (and potentially O'Hearn as primary DH who is also left handed). I write all of this because it's fun to consider, but also because I think it will be hard to significantly change our hitting externally. Our target spots are really only 1B, RF, DH. And I'd say we probably need someone who can hit right-handed (in our big park).

      Is Holliday the most important player in 2025?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      Here's an update on Jackson tweaking or possibly eliminating the leg kick. I hope Kjerstad takes notice.

      I actually meant to specify that in my post, as it’s a very important point. Difficult to talk an aging RH hitter into moving from the Crawford boxes to Walltimore.  I hate that wall. I really hope they take a strong look at moving it back in to some extent. I think it’s hurt us more than it’s helped. It was one thing to try to move away from being a total bandbox, but…it feels like an overcorrection when your players are having to change their entire approach to try to adjust for the outfield dimensions.

      Improving perfomance of players at Major League level

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I would argue the biggest part of the Orioles success is their player development for hitters.  Gunnar Adley Westburg Cowser  Have more possibilities with other young players. The lack of clutch in October os a reality until they change it but those players put this team in position to be in postseason.

      I can absolutely understand that.  The wall is almost as stupid as that awful hotel eyesore in left field.

      Bregman has said that he is not interested in Baltimore because of the wall. Thats going to be a common theme among RH hitting free agents

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By theobird · Posted

      Povich will be in our rotation next year, book it. Kid came on strong down the stretch, he vastly improved his command and his stuff plays. Get used to seeing Povich, he’s gonna be a mainstay for years to come
