‘The Show’ Episode 68: Orioles Manager Brandon Hyde Talks First Place Success

Who will win the AL MVP? Who will win the NL MVP?

Shohei Ohtani or Corey Seager? Ronald Acuna Jr. or Mookie Betts?

Also, the Orioles have had a remarkable, and somewhat surprising season. The MVP debate and a conversation with Orioles manager Brandon Hyde highlight this week’s episode of “The Show” podcast with Joel Sherman.

‘The Show’ Podcast with Joel Sherman & Jon Heyman:

  • MVP DISCUSSION: Coin flip in the NL between Ronald Acuna and Mookie Betts. Jon is going with Acuna. It’s a toss-up between the two. Will Corey Seager win the AL MVP? Or should Shohei Ohtani win despite missing the final month of the season?
  • NY & MLB MANAGERS: Will Aaron Boone get fired after the season? Does Buck Showalter return to the Mets next season? What managers around the league are on the hot seat?

Brandon Hyde Interview:
Orioles manager

  • ORIOLES SUCCESS: Turning it around from a 100-loss team two years ago to now potentially a 100-win team. Going from 83 wins last year to this. “All the analytical people thought we would get worse.” Took all the projections to heart. It’s a really good club.
  • FELIX BAUTISTA: Threw off a mound two days ago and tomorrow. Keeping fingers crossed he comes back for playoffs, but not sure if it will happen or not.
  • JACKSON HOLLIDAY: Excited about him moving forward. They like the guys they have right now.
  • AARON HICKS: The night Cedric Mullins got hurt, the Yankees DFA’ed Hicks. The timing worked out for them. They thought they needed to take a chance.
  • PLAYOFFS: Don’t see why they can’t go on a run. Have to catch some breaks in the postseason. Anything can happen.
