It really is amazing with the amount of payroll flexibility and having the best player in the universe over the last 4 years that they haven't done better than they have. There has to be some type of huge gap between the coaching staff and the front office.

Makes me feel very lucky that the Orioles have what looks to be a well oiled machine when it comes to communication and respect within the organization.

"He's definitely out," a Major League Baseball source with knowledge of the situation said of Dipoto. Two baseball sources said Dipoto resigned his position Tuesday, although the Angels offered no immediate confirmation. Dipoto did not return a text message seeking comment.

They talked about this during the Os broadcast last night. Surprised how bad it had gotten. I laugh because Pujols apparently told DiPoto that there weren't enough good players on the team. Between that comment and Streets comment they truly have a bunch of "winners" over there.

I worry that something similar could happen in Baltimore. Buck (like Scioscia) seems to wield more influence than most managers. If Duquette leaves before Buck, I think we could end up with a toothless GM that could set the team back.

Possibly, but I think Brady would be about ready to become the GM at that point and I think Brady and Buck seem to work together pretty well. ...from what I can tell with having no real insight whatsoever :)

You got to love it when the highest paid player on a team complains about how there wasn't enough money spent on players.

Do you honestly think Angelos supports Dan over Buck?

I know for a fact that question was asked to Mr. Angelos by perspective GM's. I know what that answer was too.

Wish Mr. Angelos a happy and healthy 86th birthday on July the 4th.
Crasnick tweeted that strife between Dipoto and manager Mike Scioscia had only increased since Rosenthal reported earlier this week that the two again weren’t getting along (after having also had significant disagreements in 2012). Crasnick also indicated that Dipoto approached Angels owner Arte Moreno with an ultimatum that “backfired.”
Rosenthal is one powerful dude.

I think it is a hell of a lot closer than it would be with a new GM that didn't have Dan's pedigree and that wasn't in charge when Buck was winning. This is the main reason I don't want Dan to leave.

      Bullpen 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Who would’ve thought that the bullpen would’ve been this stable in terms of moves since OD?  We’re not seeing the up/down Norfolk shuttle. Vespi was up just because Webb was on Paternity Leave. Heasley and Ramirez have been just because Perez got injured. The early consistency allowed us to take a chance on a live arm like Ramirez because a team like the Mets is locked into a bunch of relievers that are out of options and making guaranteed money. Knock on wood, but I don’t think the bullpen has “cost” us a game. Maybe one of the 50/50 games in Pittsburgh. Everyone hates the small moves, but look at the arms Elias has added via that route since the end of ST 2022. Coloumbe, Webb, Suarez, Ramirez, Krook, and Ort. Building a bullpen isn’t sexy. Unless you sign Robert Stephenson.

      The guy had an intestinal virus or whatever and lost 10 pounds about a month ago.  It’s a non factor. 1. Hays has been really bad but he’s not close to Chris Davis territory. 2. He’s going to get starts once or twice a week as Cowser cools off and to get Mullins and Santander a day off. 3. The Orioles are 12-6 and the offense has been mostly good and that’s been with getting zilch from Holliday.  I’d hardly call them desperate to get Hays bat going against LHP. I handicap Hays getting sent down at 0%.

      No doubt…I think expecting a 600 OPS is realistic early on.  A sub 200 OPS is pretty awful. Now, I don’t really care and i would still send him up there everyday.    Im just pointing out that you mentioned people having too high of expectations but people should have expected more than 1-25 with 14 Ks. The sample is too small for anything to matter but I don’t think expecting like than what he has done is asking for too much.

      Means discusses his timetable to return

      I don't think it's a good idea to trust a team to not screw you over.  I don't think it's a matter of pride, it's a matter of not being a sucker.  He gets paid this year either way and he has no guarantee of getting a contract for next season either way.

      This seems like a strange post for you ...  unless I am mis-reading your post.   You are 100% correct that is my opinion. I never said that he didn't have the right to refuse. I also never said that he should trust the O's. I specificly mentioned that it might cost his FA status. I stated why he likely wouldn't accept it. I also laid out why I thought he should and how it would benefit him.

      Gunnar was a rookie getting his feet wet, Hays is a vet. You don’t hear me calling for Holliday to be sent down.

      Obviously. I’m only saying that Hyde clearly cares about getting Hays ABs. He doesn’t come into the game yesterday otherwise.    I have more faith in O’Hearn vs. the LHP than the current version of Hays and would have preferred O’Hearn to hit in that spot considering we were down a run and he’d be getting another at bat later anyway.
