If the Os don't score next inning,  you make Soto finish this game. 

[tntoriole]

Unbelievable he loses the entire game with 2 outs .. 29 pitches .. 1 out

Soto makes Fuji look like Cy Young.

But sitting there while he implodes?!? Inexcusable 

He had to face 3 hitters. It was 3-1 after the HR. You want him to use another arm to get up right away?

Philly sending us their trash. What prospect did we send them?

Could have just kept Burch Smith in the game instead of constantly burning through bullpen arms.

Here’s my thing: Soto is the blame for blowing this, but Hyde didn’t set the team up for success. Immediately trusting Soto in high leverage situations and close games when he hasn’t proven it to you and has actually shown the opposite is nuts to me. It’s bad managing. Burch was pitching well. Leave him in.

Hyde is an absolute moron. I hope most people on OH start coming around to what I've been saying for years. He's a terrible manager.

He isn't horrible.  Just no person for where we need to go.

I have that feeling that at the end of the season, we are going to remember this game as when things went south

Actually, I wasn’t agreeing with you, I was just refraining from arguing, but I’m happy to argue if you’d like, as we are down five to one, and there was no reason to pull Suarez and I don’t know why Smith was pulled unless it was one of Hyde’s beloved matchups.

Have you bothered to look at his pitch counts lately?  

Should have left Burch in.

Why is he on the team? Why acquire him? 
 

After this debacle he will be in low leverage spots. Hyde wasn’t going to bail on him right out of the gate.

Why did Elias trade for Soto if he can’t pitch? 

Whim?
