Hyde was saying before the deadline, right after the Marlins series, that the hitting had been struggling, and asked the press if they thought the answer was to get younger? At the time Holliday and Mayo weren’t up. I believe Norby was the temp injury fill in for Mateo.
Being forced to play Holliday/Mayo in ride or die situations this year has really killed us.
A couple of things…
1. It’s tough to break in a lot of rookies/2nd year players all at once.
2. Hindsight 20/20, the rash of pitching injuries forced Elias to buy a 2nd SP and we should’ve kept Norby as insurance. Hindsight 20/20, Holliday was the #1 overall prospect and in AAA. Mayo was having the best AAA season offensively anyone could’ve dreamed of.
Overall, offensively we’re just a year or two away.
Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time.
