Bullpen Coach Dom Chiti Leaving Orginization

[jabba72]

Hope this doesn't have bad consequences down the road. Like a complete overhaul of the franchise following 2018 (thats supposedly Bucks final year)

[Tx Oriole]

Didn't offer an opinion on the move.

I asked how you can consider it cleaning house when you promote from within.

More like doing some light dusting and breaking out the swiffer.

I wouldn't mind a vom

A complete house cleaning of the organization.

There has been a disconnect between Showalter and Duquette for a long time. They tolerate each other. They work together when needed, but it's not like they are always on the same page.

We need to re-up Buck next off season. He's the best manager in baseball.

I think that's 100% correct. Remember the KRod trade, Show did not want any part of KRod, for whatever reason, imo.

Also DD pissed off Buck when he DFAed Teagarden. Also it is clear until he started hitting Buck was not on board with the Kim signing. What's funny is before they signed DD, there was talk of Buck taking over some of the GM role and he declined.

One could characterize that as a healthy give and take.

Fluid even.

[weams]

I dont buy that. Buck is his long time friend. Buck says, are you interested in the job, before i hire somebody else? And you get that no answer response.

Buck is not a long time friend. I assume the Orioles were interested in an upgrade. Wallace being missing as often as he was last year was difficult.

Was it offered to him? I never heard that except for on talk radio.

Are you sure that would be a bad consequence?

I think that's right. Buck is more loyal to his guys, Dan is more dispassionate. The combination has worked reasonably well for five years, and they'll probably manage to coexist for another two. But I think the edges are fraying a bit.

[baltfan]

Dan deserves sone grief here but Chiti deserves some too. When someone asks you about their pitching coach job and your response is that you know me and I shouldn't have to interview you are out of touch and acting like a teenager.

Lol wat.
