Yes, disagreeing with Akins usage is valid, but that's a different argument than Hyde making a panic move, "quick hook" etc. I don't think Hyde was reacting to the game situation at all. IMO Akin's extreme splits last year support matching him up although it isn't working out this year. I personally am pretty much done with Akin. I think the matchup role is our last ditch at finding a good use for him. I hope Zimmerman gets a longer look and maybe provides a bulk option that should be Akin's role. -

I agree that's how they are using him, I disagree with that's how they should use him. It's very hard to play favorable matchups for four innings or more of work. That's how you burn out a bullpen. I understand match ups, believe me, I'm a LaRussa bullpen management fan. But LaRussa tended to match up in the 7th or 8th innings before going to a closer. the issue is you can't play matchup in games when the team is up or down 3 or more runs. Close games, sure, sometimes you gotta do what you have to do, but too often Hyde is matching up in the 5th or 6th inning down or up 3 runs and that's why his bullpen is tired pretty often. -

Would love to have him back. I would give them Povich and the other two arms back. Just not Cano. His 97 sinker does it for me too. -
I swear Cobb threw more good pitches in those 7 innings than in his 4 years with the Orioles. -

No disrespect to their greatness. But that was 3/4 eras ago. The game is completely different now. There were little to No analytics used. No obsession with stuff like launch angles and exit velos. The velocity of pitchers was much different and you may typically see 1-3 pitchers per night when those guys played. Now you may see a different pitcher every AB. It’s still the same game, but way different.
