Ok, well replace Roch with Dan Connolly or Jon Meoli. Good reporters just sleeping on this story. The O's have nixed a VP and that VP is now apparently doing strength/conditioning, and he also happens to be a former player. I feel like that's at least enough to get somebody some clicks, no? And yet. 

Sure, it is a bit surprising that the others aren't saying anything.  Low bar here for reporting.

This reporter is tough on the Orioles but found this quote funny and true.  From September 2018.

They announced the hiring of a chief operating officer — former Miami Heat executive John Vidalin — in July (though he appears to be in the witness protection program, neither seen nor heard).

The Baltimore sports media is soft. The harshest call out on Chris Davis' struggles came from Jim Palmer.

And no one would ever ask Buck pressing questions on his moves because it would limit media access, or Buck would bark at you for daring to question his wisdom.

Buck certainly had them all intimidated.

Maybe it's just me (probably), but I still think it's weird that all offseason Brady was this big storyline that even Roch would talk about and ask Elias about. And he reported on Graham and Rajsich. And now that a VP of the front office has disappeared, it's like, "oh yeah he's not on the website, huh. I think he's doing nutrition?" 

What?

Follow up on the offseason news story man! I think it's weird. 

Nah, it's not weird.  But you just gotta understand where Roch is in the pecking order of things and how he functions.  Maybe one of the guys from the Sun could do some digging but they're mostly a lackluster group, too.  Quite frankly, it's probably a handful of us diehards that are wanting to know what's up with Brady.  Casual fans, fans that keep an eye on where the team is probably don't really care too much...and therefore, it's not getting reported on.

Yeah, I mean true. The casual fan is not trolling the Orioles website caring about this stuff. 

I do expect that if he is ever properly axed, Roch will eventually report on it. 

But it was such a hot question in the offseason by all the reporters, so it's odd that they aren't following up. Or perhaps they just are having trouble getting access, which I would 100% buy.

Good point. It took Ken Rosenthal to shine a spotlight on Brady’s undefined role with the team last year before any local media picked up on it.

But even then, who, outside of Baltimore really cares?  

Definitely nobody, unless it's part of a larger story of dysfunction at the Warehouse, which it was in Ken's case.

He isn't a reporter, he works for the team.

If Brady got demoted that isn't a story he wants to highlight.

I hear Baltimore has a newspaper and TV and radio stations that aren’t owned by the team.   I don’t know why Roch is always the one who is singled out.

Probably because he has more direct interaction with the fans.

No one really, but if Brady is gone now someone in the local media should be asking the question. Instead of OH having to point this out. 

So you're saying the OH cares about stuff on a micro level that no one else really cares about.  Keep in mind, we're not in the clicks (well, Tony is, but the rest of us aren't) business.

      An early look at the 2025 Bullpen

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I wouldn’t call that a “real strength”. Trade Perez and get a better arm to replace him.

      But that RH bat played a position that we had locked down because of the presence of Urias and Westburg. He wasn’t going to come up and play. If you wanted him to be the RH DH, that’s fine but the Os also lost Mounty and Mayo didn’t come up and play well. They decided that having those 4 players was enough depth to use Norby to get pitching. I don’t see that as being wrong at all…no one to predict what would happen after. They had that “position” locked down. Jimenez was just a lottery ticket and really he played a lot more than they probably thought because of all the injuries that occurred.

      An early look at the 2025 Bullpen

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      The 2025 bullpen looks like a real strength. R - Bautista, Cano, Dominguez, Webb L - Coloumbe, Soto, Perez, Akin I like having the 4 lefties with the WALL and that should be enough for the regular season.  It allows us to really matchup and take advantage of our ballpark. That’s a pen with 4 former All Stars. I believe Akin will still have an option since he made it through the season without burning his last one.  He’d be the guy to go down to AAA for a longman/fresh arm when needed. Maybe we get our lightning in a bottle reliever throwing near 100 in McDermott or Morfe later in the year. I don’t think we see much turnover here.  However, I could see Elias electing not to bring back Soto for flexibility reasons, more so than salary reasons.  Could we actually “sell” Soto for something of value?

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

      By eddie83 · Posted

      https://www.masnsports.com/blog/reviewing-orioles-recent-coaching-history-and-thoughts-on-what-s-next From Roch.    An immediate reaction to the current openings is that Triple-A Norfolk manager Buck Britton could be a candidate to fill one of them. They also could seek a bilingual coach now that González and Hernández are gone. Britton’s contract expires at the end of the month and he’s close with the young hitters who passed through Norfolk. He’s also gained the respect of other teams in the majors and could move on, which would leave the Orioles with another task.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      If we don’t resign Burnes then what are we doing as a franchise?  It’s hard to see any difference between Rubenstei and what we had before. A case can be made for not bringing back Santander.  Heck, even Soto, but with our SP injuries, and the way we’ve spent our draft capital, the plan looked to be to always land that big time SP from outside the org.  Well that happened.  Gotta keep him now.

      He called it a solid trade at the time it was made and he’ll die before he admits he was wrong about something.

      There was a need for a RH bat. We used a major league ready RH bat (who was also serviceable in the field) in the trade for Rogers. We added a bad RH bat, who was not able to play defense at all.  Neither Eloy or Rogers were able to keep their spot on the roster, and we had two guys go down that would have opened spots for Norby. So yes, it does have something to do with the Rogers trade.
