Wow that's a lot of deep dive detail. Thanks
I know you didn't ask for it, so sorry to you or anyone else if there was some mansplaining there. I know a lot of people here aren't exactly amateurs at sportsball talk.

I had nothing else to do sitting on an exercise bike than to type as train of thought left the station.

No worries or apologies, m8. Good info. I don't pay nearly that level of attention to those things.

God damned Orioles. f***ing offense cannot do DICK.

Gonna be 10th straight post season loss. 5 under Hyde. Mostly all we’re home games!!!

He’s gonna get fired. And maybe he should.

FAKKK…..!!!

Yeah this stinks. Reeks of those Caps teams that could light up the regular season then fell to shit when it mattered.

Plate discipline/approach is trash.

Was at the O's game. Yeah, it was a tough loss. I actually thought it would be their pitching that failed them, not their hitting. But in their defense too, the KC starters they faced are damn good. Ragans is likely in the top 3 for the Cy Young this year, and Lugo throws like 9 different pitches. By Fangraphs WAR, they were the 2nd and 3rd best pitchers in the AL this year.

Witt is a superstar, and as much as I love Adley, I said in 2019 and I'll say again now, the O's should have drafted Witt.

I don't think Hyde should be fired.

Whys it gotta be to the f***ing Royals ... I hate those f***s
I laugh because I was actually at the game with two guys from KC (wearing Royals jerseys) and a common theme from other Orioles fans was essentially "how can anyone hate the Royals or KC, they're one of the most inoffensive teams/cities in the country, they just sort of exist".

Of course those comments were also followed with 'except the Chiefs, hate those guys.'

I've been wavering on Hyde. I've come to the conclusion that their regular season batting successes indicate the problem isn't hitting coaches or probably even the manager himself, it's likely something for the sports psychologists.

You don't bring in a new manager to maybe make the playoffs again and then somehow magically get them to hit in the postseason the way they did for most of the regular season. That's something separate.
