What kind of a leader fires his manager and then Hydes for three days?

/

The Baltimore Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday morning via a press release with quotes from David Rubenstein and Mike Elias. The owner and general manager then hid for three days while every player on the roster got asked about it on Preakness day. We think that’s lousy leadership. Luke Jones and Nestor react to Elias’ tardy comments on Tuesday in Milwaukee and more last-place Orioles losing after the Hyde firing. A shameful week and season in Birdland.

Holding everyone with Orioles accountable for this disaster

There will be no place for Brandon Hyde to hide if this continues. Sure, he didn’t buy the groceries (or the pitching) but the manager is usually the first one to go when a promising baseball team disappoints like the in-progress collapse of the 2025 Baltimore Orioles. Or, maybe it’s just a hitting coach or two? But in-season firings certainly feel immigrant after another Birds’ sweep in Minnesota where the bats remained painfully silent.
