Fire or extend Dan....first order, first day.   I would fire, but am ok with a decision that is made definitively as soon as possible. 

If they make  a decision  on Dan right after the season it would be refreshing but I am not holding my breath.  It could take weeks.   I think his contract may runs through November. Peter often didn't fire managers..  He just let their contracts run out.

Here is mine:  Sign Bobby Dickerson to a personal services contract for 2019.   Position to be determine later.

He will provide some continuity  while the O's figure out who their GM and Manager will be.

Fire Buck, Brady and maybe DD.,

I’d like to think the decision is already made.   Nothing is going to happen between now and the end of the season that would change one’s evaluation of Duquette’s work.     Now, whether they inform Dan or make a decision public is another story.    But there’s no reason to wait to the offseason to begin deciding.

That's easy. "Ryan, you are a third baseman or bust."

I am not sure this fanbase who has had third basemen like Brooks and Cal could stand to see 20+ errors coming out of 3rd base.  

If they stick him there and keep him there, my man Bobby Dickerson better be hitting a ton of grounders to him each day.

    • 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 
    • 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. 
    • 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.   
    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
