Brandon Hyde on O's playoff elimination

[@richardeicholtz4868]

The Zobrist comment was a cry for help. They need a couple bonafide vets in the lineup.

[@ScreaminAtScarecrows]

We need a couple of bad boys on this team.

[@wecandobetter9821]

I totally agree. Sometimes players need somebody in their faces to shake them up. It’s obviously not coming from the management

[@cr00785]

You REALLY need mics for the reporters questions.

[@rq2757]

It's a problem for both O's and Ravens pressers. It can't be that hard to pass a mic around.

[@cr00785]

Hyde for at least the next 3 years. I think the hitting coaches will both be replaced.

[@mikebusch6557]

This guy does what the computer tells him to do, no heart no feeling for the game no feeling for the locker room, please fire him today

[@guitarwok]

Whole lotta future managers here in the comments. It's very impressive

[@johnw5027]

Hyde had like 130 different lineups in 162 games. No way you can get consistency or define player roles like that. It is all about a consistent lineup and putting your best 9 on the field every night.

[@Narniak69]

And of course his favorite go-to move was using the DH slot on his All-Star catcher so that he could make sure to get his backup catcher in the lineup!

[@grantpack71]

And thats what he did. Stop blaming Hyde for everything. Sometimes its the players too, or we were just outplayed

[@trashasaurus]

​@Narniak69 Adley's defense isn't as good as McCaan's though. Without his bat Adley is actually kind of a below average Catcher.

[@alwaysreal2553]

I really hope Elias fires Hyde and brings in someone to take our O's to the next level. He has been here long enough for us to see he chokes in close games. Easy to manage when you have a 5 run lead but when the game is close,Hyde has cost this team at least 10 wins

[@LBlucher13]

Win or lose, a 3-game playoff after a 162-game season is just plain stupid. It's like instead of the person who finishes first in a running marathon being declared the winner, all of the top 8 finishers move to the deciding race- a 50-yard dash. Makes no sense. Even the great 1927 NY Yankees lost two in a row to the lowly Washington Senators...twice!

[@geneoney]

You can't make every playoff series a best 4 out of 7 unless you want the world series to take place in mid November.

[@idontknow-qo7fp]

@@geneoney ....the regular season is tooooooooo long.

[@LBlucher13]

@@geneoney Obviously not, but if you are going to have 3-game playoffs then there really is no point in a 162-game season. More playoffs means more revenue and this is all about money. I think it's ridiculous for average teams to make the post-season after a 162-game season. But, if you go that route, shorten the regular season to 100-120 games.

[@Narniak69]

Hey Hyde, here's a free tip on lineup construction, since you're obvious not competent enough to do it yourself. This thing called the DH, that is a great place to slot in your various different LH or RH options, especially some of the young guys that you don't yet trust in the field. You know what about the WORST possible use of the DH could be? Using it on your starting All-Star switch-hitting catcher so that you can get your weak-hitting backup catcher in the lineup.

[@Narniak69]

And I like McCann, he's a fantastic BACKUP catcher, and could be a serviceable starter if you didn't already have a starting All-Star catcher. The amount of Rutschman at DH and McCann starting at catcher lineups that Hyde used this season is beyond absurd. I don't have the exact number, but it had to be over 60 games.

[@grantpack71]

LMAO like you could do better okay buddy

HYDE is still our guy!!! We love you Hyde, you made some hard excellent decisions throughout the year

[@alwaysreal2553]

Speak for yourself dude. Hyde should be fired now. He's not a playoff manager and any fool could have turned this team around with the talent we collected. He did his job but now we need someone who knows small ball especially come playoff time

[@Oviegoat8]

Tf we don’t lol

[@PaulYoung-m7o]

How does Elias have confidence with Hyde? Sorry, but, Hyde needs to go!

[@grantpack71]

Because he helped bring us from 100+ losses to over 100 wins. He also helped the Cubs and win the WS

[@alexrambo8790]

What is going on with his head? I hope hes healthy.

[@YungNoDussy]

This analytical garbage will be the end of the team. Analytics are great, but not the end all. There HAS to be some sort of gut feeling /eye test combined with the data. Platooning every single time at every single opportunity is embarrassing and shows they legit dont care or make actual decisions. Why do we even have a manager if they just "trust the analytics" might as well have an AI manager back there

[@elniño20501]

Incompetent unserious numbers approach. Still trying to wrap my head around starting Chris owings over Mateo early in the 2022 season and then missing the playoffs by 3 games. Or when he put Jacob Webb in the day after he gave up a homerun to the rangers in ALDS game 1 only to choke again the day after with the bases loaded. Get this guy and Elias out. The drafting is done we need a new regime

[@Shawn-bj3xf]
