Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde (18) talks with General manager Mike Elias (left) during batting practice prior to a game between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Mandatory Credit: James A. Pittman-Imagn Images Underperformance since the middle of last season was the reason Orioles general manager Mike Elias provided Tuesday for firing Brandon Hyde as manager three days earlier.
Making his first public comments since making the move, Elias said the team was starting to run out of time for a turnaround.
Baltimore entered Tuesday’s matchup vs. the Milwaukee Brewers 16 games under .500 (15-31) and in last place in the AL East. They also entered Tuesday on a seven-game losing streak.
“I’m working to fix this as rapidly as I can, and I’m in a position where regardless of how it affects me or my personal situation, I have to make decisions that I judge, in collaboration with my bosses … to be in the best interest of the Baltimore Orioles,” Elias said Tuesday prior to the game in Milwaukee.
Hyde led the Orioles to the American League East title in 2023, winning 101 games in the process. But Baltimore was eliminated from the playoffs early (ALDS), then suffered the same fate in 2024 (AL wild card) and lost ace Corbin Burnes via free agency to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
“This is deeply disappointing to me, and I’m doing everything in my power to correct and improve it,” Elias said.
Baltimore won 192 games the past two seasons but zero playoff games.
Third base coach Tony Mansolino was promoted to replace Hyde, but the results Elias admits he was seeking by making the abrupt change had yet to develop. Baltimore lost its first three games after Hyde was fired by a run differential of minus-11.
Orioles pitchers surrendered a league-worst 72 home runs and ranked ahead of only the Colorado Rockies in team ERA at 5.53 through their first 46 games.
“This is a team that we feel collectively and individually is underperforming its talent level,” he said. “We want something new in order to hopefully restore again to the level that we expect of ourselves.”

Who should stay in the 2025 NBA Draft? Drake Powell, Cedric Coward headline five players who should turn pro
Getty Images The deadline to withdraw from the 2025 NBA Draft is on the horizon. Players who entered their name as early entrants will have until May 28 to stay in the draft or return to school for the 2025-26 college basketball season. While some players are considered more likely than others to keep their name in the draft, nothing is guaranteed. Last month, Texas Tech star JT Toppin didn't even go through the NBA Draft process, and instead returned to school with an NIL package totaling around $4 million, per CBS Sports' Matt Norlander. The two names to watch in the days leading up to the deadline are two of the top players from the transfer portal: Cedric Coward and Yaxel Lendeborg. Coward, a former Washington State star who played in just seven games during the 2024-25 season due […]

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones remains cryptic on future: ‘I don’t know if I wanna call it retired’
Getty Images The Jon Jones championship saga continues. On Wednesday, the UFC heavyweight champion responded to a fan on X with a cryptic message that only fuels doubt over whether Jones will fight again or if he has retired from active competition.When asked on X, "How does it feel to be retired?" Jones was non-committal, but did seem to suggest he may not be viewing himself as an active fighter."I don't know if I wanna call it retired, I feel like I'll always have an ability to pop out and show em," Jones wrote. "I've had many breaks throughout my career, my identity outside of fighting is well intact. I'm genuinely enjoying life, I'm growing in different ways."After a decade of dominating the light heavyweight division, with his only failures coming outside of the cage through failed drug tests and […]

Why the Tush Push, or Brotherly Shove, still belongs in the NFL
Jalen Hurts doesn’t call it the Tush Push.No, he likes to keep it standard: The quarterback sneak. But the only thing standard about the play that involves Hurts getting shoved by a teammate or two in the physical region that defies verbal grace is the consistency with which the Philadelphia Eagles pick up first downs, score touchdowns and confound those who haven’t yet found a way to stop it.AdvertisementThat standard of success is why the NFL’s owners were two votes away from banning the Tush Push on Wednesday. It’s why the Green Bay Packers submitted a proposal that prohibits an offensive player from “pushing, pulling, lifting, or assisting the runner except by individually blocking opponents for him.” It’s why a contingent of NFL teams who appreciated the Packers taking the bullet approved of the proposal for its two cited reasons — “player […]
Richest games in soccer: Europa League final, Championship promotion playoff final, Club World Cup play-in
