METS August 21…going for a series win with mighty Cole Irvin

[Moshagge3]

At least it was just a solo HR, not two walks and a HR.

Agreed. Fault the GM for having him in thr roster, but what is Hyde really supposed to do here?

Not use an overused reliever in a 6 run game forcing you to use Cano then not be able to use in a close game when things matter? Use Kimbrel yesterday in a blowout.

You can’t win many games scoring 2 runs. Average O/U in Vegas is 8.5-9 runs.

In a tie game that we're now likely to lose? No thanks. Kimbrel is toast and should be DFAed.

Again, you are wrong. Hyde has very few options today and he has to try to get Kimbrel. You can’t sit around and wait for huge leads or deficits to put him in.  That’s horrible.

Hyde has some weird logic. Not comfortable to use him for a full inning in a 4 run game, but comfortable in a tie game late with the middle of the lineup coming up. Make it make sense.

What are his options? He has a 7 man pen with at least one guy out. Good grief. 

[Bleed Orange]

Gotta have more offense than one HBP and a homer. This game is on the hitters.

The lack of other options.

Don’t pitch Perez, Smith, Cano yesterday up by 6.

Sorry, switched view by mistake. That ball was also further inside. It was a pitcher's pitch.

It was a strike.  It wasn't a bad pitch for him to offer at.

Just like high and inside in the zone is a good pitch location to Francisco Alvarez.

Not sure what Hyde is supposed to do.  Cano and Perez are likely out today.  So that leaves Kimbrel or Soto.  

ABK

Anybody but Kimbrel

Who do you want him to pitch? Pen is short and taxed. The blaming of Hyde is over the top. 

Exactly! He doesn't have many options that are available.

You are insufferable

I'll take it.

Wow, for once it wasn't me being quoted. 

[Sports Guy]

The Os have thrown Irvin, Selby and Kimbrel today and held a very good offense to 3 runs….and yet people want to kill Hyde. The insanity and ignorance is over the top.

Cano was up 2.
