8/16 - Red Sox vs. Orioles

[dystopia]

Hyde yanking pitchers for no reason like Eflin yesterday has long ranging implications.

I don’t blame him for this. It’s your ace. It’s the 4th inning. 

Typically I would agree, but Burnes has been total garbage from the get go tonight. Once the game was tied up, he should have had Burnes on a short leash. 

Burnes gave up four runs with two outs. Aces are not suppose to do that.

Hyde is just embarrassing him now by leaving him out there.

Still can't give up the homer. 

Just stick with the change if you’re going to leave him in.

I hated the unintentional intentional walk to Devers. I think that really screwed things up there and put 5 more pitches on Burnes. Made absolutely no sense

This just isn’t true.  They hit good pitches and bad pitches. Give them credit.

Because this is the first time he has ever given up 8?

He clearly had nothing. Should have been pulled especially before the HR

I swear, Hyde has absolutely no feel for the game. 

He's not a game manager. He's likely a good behind-the-scenes baseball man.

Can’t wait to see what they do to Povich tomorrow night lol. Gonna be brutal.

That's why we can't use the entire bullpen tonight.

Credit the Sox. They were ready for Burnes.  Have been on everything. 

A Triple-A team would have been ready with the garbage Burnes was throwing up there. Everything was off the plate or in the middle.

Hyde is also going to give the proven vet the benefit of the doubt. It's just a bad night for Burnes - he was due for it. 

He has a 5.40 ERA since the ASB in 6 starts. He was bad in TB and CLE too.

He was one out away. Threw a hanger. 

He’s been throwing hangers all night. He looked awful against Devers. I don’t understand quick hooks with Eflin and then just leaving a guy in to get shelled like this tonight.

Burnes is going to get paid but I don’t think it’s going to be as much as some would think.

You're a bit too literal. I didn't say every pitch he threw was horrible.

This place. SMH.

Is something wrong with Burnes?  I feel like someone needs to say it.  Hopefully just one game where his control is terribly off.

I hate how averse this team is to issuing IBBs when it's strategically apt to do so.
