I think we should lure Cito Gaston out of retirement and keep him on one year deals only until the team show signs of no longer being absolutely terrible, then fire him immediately. 

I think we should make him a really nice offer, call him to a press conference where he's going to sign his papers right in front of everyone and then just be like "SIKE!" and run out of the room.

You have one you'd like in Baltimore. I want someone better than Buck. Goes along with a rebuild. That doesn't have his so called boys. That's not wedded to CD. Maybe there isn't one. 

All managers have their boys.  We're cherrypicking traits we'd like a manager to have because we know what we have with the current guy and we know what bugs us about him.

I'll refrain to my original post here.  Gotta have the horses.  Hargrove had em in Cleveland, didn't have em here.  Did Hargrove just all of a sudden lose his managing skills?

Good point, and Ive said it many times over the years here, change for change sake its always the best.

But, they had others too, besides Hargrove, and Hargrove didnt win either, when he went elsewhere.

If you dont change the way the Organization is run, it impedes the rest of the franchise.

It worked for 5 years, when Peter kept his hands out, maybe now, with the boys in charge, it can get back to that,.

I want BJ Surhoff if he is intersted.  There is a guy that has an intensity that has been lacking for a while.

As far as I know, Surhoff hasn't coached or managed at any level since he retired other than appearing a few times as a spring training instructor.

If I thought the team next year had any shot at contenting that would be a valid point.

Whomever they hire is just going to get fired in three years.

      2024 Week 6: Ravens vs Commanders

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
