[Looks around] … So, what’d I miss?
What a weird feeling. Today’s game, second in a marks the first game since Sept. 29, 2018, that the Orioles will take the field without Brandon Hyde as their manager. It’s a stunning reversal for a man who won Manager of the Year in 2023, but given the on-field play this season, perhaps not unexpected. The roster is flawed, but the clubhouse morale has also been terrible, and Hyde seemed to have no answers. At least he got to enjoy that 101-win season in 2023. Wish him well.
Now, to win a ballgame?
