Angels fired pitching coach Doug White, who should be no stranger to the O's brain trust. 

From MLBTR:

Quote

 

Prior to joining the Angels, White served as the bullpen coach for the Astros, though he only served one season in that role as well. He’d previously spent time as a minor league pitching coach and minor league pitching coordinator in the Houston system in addition to a half-decade’s worth of experience as a minor league coach with the Cardinals.

White was one of several members of the Astros’ 2018 field staff to be hired by other organizations, as other organizations looked to build out their coaching staffs with key members of one of the game’s most progressive and successful teams.

 

Could he end up somewhere in the O's organization?

I'd say his history would indicate that current Orioles management would know if they wanted him or not.

That was a good interview.  Seems like too long of a sentence. Sig shouldnt have used the same password.  They should have implemented password change requirements.  Hopefully Orioles are using MFA.

2019 marks first season as Angels pitching coach after working in the Houston Astros organization for the previous six years...Promoted to Houston's bullpen coach in 2018 which followed two seasons (2016-17) as the organization's Minor League Pitching Coordinator...In 2018, the Houston relief core paced the Majors in WHIP (1.06), runs allowed (175 R...56 fewer then any other team in the Majors), opponents batting average against (.214) and K/BB (4.28) and finished second in SO/9 (10.56)...Served as the organization's roving pitching instructor in 2014-15...Joined the Astros organization in 2013 as pitching coach for Single-A Tri-City...Prior to time with Astros, spent five seasons (2008-12) as a minor league pitching coach in the St. Louis Cardinals organization...During the 2009-12 campaigns, was the pitching coach for St. Louis' Rookie Level Johnson City, winning back-to-back Appalachian League Championship titles in 2010 and 2011     http://m.mlb.com/hou/roster/coach/534449/doug-white

“I think he’s very good,” Ausmus said. “He’s definitely learning the in-game stuff just because he hasn’t done it as much. But the pitchers’ practice plan, the development [part], he really excels at. He’s got a ton of passion in what he does and toward the players he’s teaching.”     https://www.latimes.com/sports/angels/story/2019-09-22/angels-pitching-coach-doug-white-analytics-lauded

Maria Torres of the L.A. Times tweets that “numerous” pitchers had trouble adjusting to White’s ideas, including younger arms like Jaime Barria and Jose Suarez.

3:00pm: The Angels have fired pitching coach Doug White, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN (via Twitter). His dimissal comes one day after the team announced that Brad Ausmus would not return as manager in 2020. Like Ausmus, White’s tenure with the Angels will last just one season.     https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/10/angels-fire-pitching-coach-doug-white.html

White, who was Strom’s bullpen coach with the Astros last season before leaving for the Angels, is from the same mold as Johnson – fluent in the new language of pitching and facile with Trackman, which provides ball-tracking data, and Edgetronic and Rapsodo, which offer advanced camera and radar technology.

They are the outsiders turned insiders. The sons of Brent Strom.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.

      This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.

      All I know is that Suárez has earned at least one more start, after today.

      Scherzer still looks like a guy who would be a nice add to our rotation in the second half if the Rangers are sellers.

      Not happening. I don’t disagree, but Kremer will be slotted in the rotation.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      I wouldn’t either but the word here is that he’s going back to rotation . Suarez supposedly the one  to be moved to bullpen . I think they should wait and see if Irvin can rebound . If Irvin can’t match Suarez’s work, then he should be moved to bullpen

      Yes that’s what I was asking. COC was completely off base in his comment. Judge is a great player, and apparently a nice guy. I have nothing against him, or most Yankees, for that matter, though Gil’s tats are off putting. I am expecting a bit of pro Yankee bias, but that’s ok. Also, home runs is a very glittery stat, and might sway some folks. But it should be Gunnar, at least based on the first 81.
