8/06 @ Toronto (Cito still sucks)

[RavensNOsGuy]

This will be the game we all remember when the real collapse started and the season went off the rails. Completely expect to get swept and look just as inept the next 2 games and probably in Tampa too.

I usually do not complain about a manager’s decisions, but my goodness that was bad.  Definitely the worst over-management since Buck’s playoff debacle (which was also against the Blue Jays).

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

I’ve been walking, I read a comment that made me think somebody was joking about hide lifting holiday, but he really did? And that’s not objectively stupid?

He certainly looks overmatched at the plate.  It's going to take him some time to learn to hit. 

Holliday was in much the same situation when he got called up...

Wish the Os were in NY media market tonight.  Hyde would be pilfered for the decisions.  Not managing to win.  Completely bonkers.

What a flipping disaster tonight has been.  Bringing in Soto was dumb, pulling Holliday was questionable, even if it worked in a walk, letting Urias hit and then pulling Cowser are all debatable moves and arguable didn't work.  And we completely squandered bases loaded and no outs and only got one run because the pitcher couldn't find the strike zone.  This loss is squarely on Hyde.

He couldn’t pull Urias. Has no other infielders. Mayo was coming in regardless. So do you hit him for Cowser or not? Slater replaced Cowser.

Cowser and Holliday have been your best hitters lately, and you yank them. And leave in guys with reverse splits (Urias). Cowser isn’t even poor against lefties. Neither is Holliday. What kind of Tony La Russa crap was that? Just old school backwards stuff there.

He is horrible and not ready.

Period.

Hyde literally yanked maybe our 2 hottest hitters for scubs.

 

He HAS TO GO.

[Winter]

all i know is if Mayo isn’t going to play everyday over Urias then he should be in AAA, yes there is zero reason to do to Mayo what they’ve done to Kjerstad all year.

He couldn’t hit for Urias. Who plays the infield? McCann?

And he got sent back down.

i don't think i've ever questioned hyde, but that was clearly an awful series of moves. everyone makes mistakes and that sure was one big mistake.

once again, the Orioles cant even get a SAC FLY cant even get a ball out of the infield...

Mayo not ready and Urias DFA material 

[Pat Kelly]

and now Cionel is in the game?!!  This would have been the Soto spot, trailing by 3 top of the 9th>.

Mayo might not be a great 3B, but if he’s up here for his bat, you don’t leave Urias in there when he’s awful against lefties in an absolutely crucial spot. That’s effectively the ballgame.
