I don’t think you put a guy with control issues in a 1 run game with a runner on. At least not until you’ve built some trust up with the guy. Soto wasn’t an elite arm that was traded for. 

It's not that he has control issues.  He's not walking guys.  Maybe it's command issues, but for whatever reason he's getting hit hard.  The coaches will need to work with him, but I agree he should not someone the O's turn to in close game right now.  Bring Irvin back up and use him as the lefty in the bullpen until Coulombe gets back.  Soto should probably be the mop up guy until further notice.  But this is really Elias' fault, not really Hyde's.

[LookitsPuck]

Hyde is really on something. Why on Earth would PH for Holliday? Is he trying to lose?

[MDK02]

Hyde is really making some questionable calls today. You gotta let Holliday in here.

So they trade for someone so after 2 games you weigh that more than his entire career and season? 

Sure looks like in this case they should have, no?  Since coming to the Os he's been terrible.  Let him get his feet underneath him in some low leverage or blowout situations, build his trust and/or confidence up.  Argue all you want, results show it was a poor decision.

I cant believe the lift Holliday...dont care about lefty, righty stuff..its silly

Yeah now I'm agreeing with you here, unless Slater has amazing stats here or something.

John Schneider doing his best Brandon Hyde impression 

????

I thought the major criticism of Hyde was that he made too many pitching changes?

He’s walking guys, too. It’s control and command.

So his entire career is his Orioles performance and not prior. 
 

ok. I’ll move on.

Brilliant if it works.

[Sports Guy]

Holliday looks very comfortable vs lefties.  Really bad decision.

[Pat Kelly]

Hyde is losing it.  So sorry no confidence in him as a big game manager.   

[Roy Firestone]

id take a walk here...

Pretty unbelievable. 

[OriolesMagic83]

Hyde brought Soto in for a leverage situation, runner on 1st, 1 run lead.  At least bring in someone like Webb w 1/2 a chance of success.
