My Solution To Our Pitching Woes

[brianod]

Chen had a great career with us, left for free agency and made a ton of money. All the time, speaking English with an interpreter by his side. Obviously, the less you speak the language, the less our systems pitching coaches and philosophy can hurt you. So, I propose we keep the same staff but only employ pitchers that can't understand them. It's a proven formula! I know I"ll get slammed for this, but sometimes you have to think outside the box...

Thats a little too far outside the box. Which is what the Orioles are already known for. They just need to copy an organization that knows what they are doing.

I disagree! There are more non-english speaking countries in the world then English speaking countries. I think I'm on to something.

Wouldn't it be simpler to hire pitching coaches who speak only obscure languages?

Just so they don't get four years in prison for doing so.

This is a controlled experiment, I'm trying to keep as many of the variables the same as I possibly can...

Can we contract the Cubs to show the Orioles what they're doing wrong?

Or do a Kafkaesque elimination of the position completely!

That's a difficult question. Since this is my experiment, I would allow the contact but only if the guy on the other end doesn't speak English.
