If Brady is elevated to the position of president, I'm not sure any of the rest will matter. From what has been written of his  interference with players, he seems to be more of a problem than a solution.

Connolly think Duquette wants to return with Brady here — absolutely ridiculous.

I sure hope not. That would be terrible. That's the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. SOS

 I don’t think much of Brady myself but the level of the hate for him in this thread is unbelievable. Maybe we give him a chance?  J/K 

I don't hate Brady, Buck or DD. I just want them gone from the O's Organization. The team needs to go in a different direction.

Just one question that Brady should be required to answer to the fanbase...”Did you directly recommend to ownership increasing the free agent contract offer for Chris Davis beyond what was being recommended by the GM?”   

It is a simple question.  I believe the answer is yes.   For that reason, alone, he should be fired, much less promoted.  And there are likely many behind the scenes machinations that have contributed to the organization being the disaster it currently is.  

No hate, but my opinion is Brady Anderson would be a completely incompetent chief baseball executive and would set the rebuild of this  organization back considerably beyond what a new GM with a clean mandate could accomplish.  

I am in the Fire them All camp...Dan, Buck, Brady, the directors of scouting, player development, etc.  We need a new structure.   I would keep Brooks...lol.

I think Brady has been most of the problem for Dan. Is Conolly and Brady friends? I see nothing that would lead me to believe Dan wants to continue to work with Anderson.

Is it really?

How do we know what goes on inside the warehouse?

Just because posters post about Brady like is a evil demon, doesn't make it so.

If DD truly wants to return with Brady here, could lead one to believe, that things aren't near as bad as posters want you to believe they are.

Now that Daddy is out of the way, and the GM can go back to running the team.

I think DD is able to land another GM job somewhere in MLB in the next year or two, when there is an opening. He has done enough good over the years, that this shouldnt be an issue.

Roch “reported” this morning that Brady will be with the Orioles next year in the same role or with more power. A Brady-less Orioles does not seem possible. It’s always about the relationship with the Angelos family. 

Makes sense.

What person in any job, wants to come back in a reduced role, anywhere, I dont care if you are flipping burgers at the golden arches, you dont want to go back to trash detail.

      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

      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.

      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.
