Orioles coaches

[Going Underground]

Someone said Howie Clark would not be back next year.Also Brocali would probably be back but not definite. .

In this morning's blog post, Roch said there have been internal discussions about replacing one of the coaches.

I could see Brocail getting replaced.  The pitching was awful, and when he went on record with his frustrations, it seems pretty clear that there's a disconnect there.

If the Orioles are in the market, Lew Ford, the hitting coach for the highly successful Long Island Ducks, might be available. The beloved former Oriole  has served as player-hitting coach and as player-bench coach (not sure how that works) for the Ducks. But the Orioles will have to be a little bit patient: Lew and the Ducks open the Atlantic League Championship Series tonight against the defending champion Sugar Land Skeeters.

Does anyone recall ever seeing so many of our runners thrown out at the plate as this year?

It’s very easy to check this on BB-ref.   The O’s were thrown out at home 15 times this year, which was the AL league average.   To put that into some context, they scored 153 times by scoring from first on a double, from second on a single, or on a sacrifice fly.   

In 2018, they were thrown out at home 17 times.   They scored 157 runs in the ways I mentioned.

Thanks for the info.

No problem.    By the way, Jonathan Villar led the team in scoring from 1st on a double, accomplishing that 8 times, twice that of anyone else on the team.    He scored from 2B on a single 13 times, also tops on the team.    He was thrown out at home zero times.

Wasdin also gone per Dan Connolly. 

Heard that Brocail is 75 % safe but things change.

I would hope they get the best coaches they can. Don’t have to  be former Orioles players.

According to Roch, looks like Wasdin, Clark and Beyeler will be the only coaches who won't return.

The vaunted Sugar Land Skeeter offense, there is no way the Ducks survive that buzzsaw of a lineup.
