I have lots of thoughts today, but responding to general consensus in here specifically, the idea that this is on Hyde is nonsense. Your top bats (Gunnar, Santander, Cowser, Adley, Mountcastle) were a combined like 3-40 in the series! There’s your problem! Hyde wasn’t swinging for them! Hyde wasn’t perfect this season, but he was value added as a manager. O’s pinch hitters were like top 2 or 3 in the league this season. His bullpen decisions were right far more often than wrong. What went wrong with the offense in late June/early July is a more complicated answer than #FireHyde.
