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.

Baseball:  When you hear that your pitcher feels bad because he was throwing up and it's good news.  Let's hope!

You make an investment in trading for the guy and you want the manager to say screw it after 2 games?

 

Do you get why they brought him in? 

Do you get why it was a bad decision?  The results speak for themselves.  What I want the manager to do is realize the guy has already sucked the first two games, so let's not bring him into key situations until he earns that right in some low key situations.  Let him have some mop up time or low leverage situations to right himself.  Kinda what we are doing with Kimbrel now.  Maybe it was a bad trade, sure not looking good.  But the way Hyde is using him looks ever worse.

Smith has now given up a run, so I would imagine he’s not happy with Soto either. But I stand by what I said. Bringing Soto on was stupid.
Taking Suarez out was stupid. He only had 73 pitches wasn’t tired wasn’t fatigue wasn’t showing any change in performance.
Taking Smith out was stupid he had thrown. I think eight pitches and had gotten two outs. So three stupid pitching moves in one inning.

The 6th inning with 2 outs man on 1st is not a high leverage situation.  It won’t show up on any statistics as one even if you keep saying it is.  

1-0, runner on, 6th inning, 2 out is closer to high leverage than low leverage. And Soto is a control mess. Not exactly a recipe for success.

He had a 1.42 era in 22 appearances before his last game in Philly. What don’t you get? 
 

 

It’s 2 freaking games. His resume is not 2 games.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
