It’s been four days since the firing of Brandon Hyde, the Orioles’ first in-season manager change since Dave Trembley was fired after 54 games in 2010. For many, Hyde’s firing was something long-awaited; for others, Hyde is seen as the scapegoat for the failings of Mike Elias and the Baltimore front office. However, most in Birdland understand that this O’s team was not a Brandon Hyde firing away from becoming the team we expect them to be.
It’s worth noting that the last time the O’s parted ways with their manager in-season, they eventually signed Buck Showalter in August.
