Only with posters here at OH.  Hyde isn’t going anywhere.  It is just silly.

I've never called for him to leave. Not even close. Just 1 small criticism about a mistake does not mean running him out of town. Insinuating that, is just jumping to conclusions in a zero sum game mindset.

Man, he keeps this up he may only have thrown like 65 pitches when Hyde pulls him.  🙂

Nobody’s saying the choices were bright and shiny, but go with whoever is the most fresh? I guess by “one short” you mean he’s not gonna send Soto out there and yes, I certainly hope he doesn’t.

Smith threw 20 pitches yesterday. Perez threw none. Cano threw none.

so the question was why didn’t he bring in Perez? 
 Yes, the choices are not good, and Hyde’s Bullpen usage has been really bad all season. 
But Smith was not a good choice.

Oh, who cares, this team is lousy

Bingo. The choice was irresponsible.

Baker was sent down for Povich. 7 guys in pen. Akin went 2 yesterday. 
 

People whine when he throws Soto or Kimbrel no matter when. Cano was done. The guy can’t win.

Ryan Mountcastle has 3 homeruns since June, and an OPS under .700 as well and plays every single day and bats 4th or 5th. I just dont get it. Put him in a platoon with O'Hearn already.

There’s been a lot to dislike about Hyde lately. I’m not saying can the guy, but his feel for games have just been off. The pinch hitting debacle last week, forcing bullpen arms to pitch 3 days in a row, leaving Burnes out there when he clearly didn’t have anything to give, putting immediate trust in Soto, yada yada yada.

I get that this bullpen sucks. But the decision making is so bizarre.

They've been good when they've needed to be because Burnes was awful yesterday and because our bullpen is weak.  Plus the Red Sox right now are as good a hitting team as the O's if not better.  Timing and clutch is mostly an illusion.  

Timing and clutch are  ephemeral but not an illusion in SSS . The Sox have been clutch this series. They likely won’t continue, but that doesn’t do the Orioles much good.

 Hyde has got to learn that he has to do what he can to minimize use of any reliever.     If you get beat stretching a starter having a good outing so be it.   You have to do whatever you can to keep those guys out of the game for as long as possible.  

Last night people were mad he left his ace in so long. He pushed Povich.

      This is some classic pitcher-speak head-in-the-sand nonsense. In fairness, they all do it. "I felt great out there but it just didn't go my way", etc.  Or Cole Irvin after his sudden velocity decrease "I decided to stop focusing on velocity and get back to pitching".  surejan.gif

      Tracking Ex Oriole Thread

      I agree with that, I think he's better than a 50/50 chance.  There's an outside shot at 3,000 hits and 500 homers. He's approaching 60 career rWAR, too and should probably clear 70 rWAR.

      Tracking Ex Oriole Thread

      Manny now has more homers as a Padre (164) than as an Oriole (162).  😢 He had a very rough start to his season, bottoming out at .611 OPS on May 17 and still only at .662 on June 18.   Since then, he’s had a .918 OPS.    I’d put his Hall of Fame chances at better than 50/50.   He’s only 31 (baseball age) and is under contract for 9 more seasons.  He’s going to accumulate some numbers even as he goes through his decline phase.  And hopefully he’s got several very productive seasons left in him before the decline comes.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      By Hallas · Posted

      Even in old-school pre-analytics ball it was well understood that hitting the ball hard and on a line was generally beneficial to your results.  There has never been a time when hitting a blooper was considered a favorable outcome even if it frequently resulted in a hit.  Are these frustrating to fans watching, and opposing teams that are the victims of these outcomes?  Sure.  But these outcomes have pretty much universally been considered luck.  On the other hand expected stats clearly show that hitters with different profiles can (and do) succeed.  Luis Arraez has an expected batting average of .319, 99th percentile, and an expected woba of .334, well above average, despite having one of the worst exit velocities in baseball.  He can do this because he slaps line drives everywhere, and that is reflected in his squared-up rate and his rate of hitting balls in the launch angle sweet spot.   The additional data has clearly (to me) shown that while there is an optimal value for everything, it's not absolute, and you can be a legit MLB player with a decently wide range of batting skills.  Which is something that we already knew from watching baseball over the years.

      Our bullpen is mostly guys picked up cheap from other organizations (Webb, Coulombe, Cano, Perez). Ben talked about how Suarez spent time at the pitching lab. He alone is a major nugget worth 3 wins. Sometimes when your roster is full of guys performing at a high level you have to DFA guys who end up good but overall I don't see the Orioles track record here as a problem. Might even be an asset.
