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.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By terpoh · Posted

      As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.

      He was all of that yes, but nothing close to Gunner so far or Cal's best year, and you also forgot about Eddie. not to mention Palmer in the 70,s

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      I don't trust Suarez at all.   He seems to lose command quickly.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By milbest77 · Posted

      I think we have to remember that Johnny Angelos hired Elias and the purpose was to cut payroll. Any halfway competent GM could hit on the Adley pick (or Witt if he went that route). I do give him props for the Gunnar and Westy picks, too. But, go back and watch Elias’ introductory press conference. He said the goal was to build an elite pipeline of talent. At no point were the words “win a World Series” ever uttered. Probably no correlation there, but interesting non-choice of words nonetheless. Elias won my admiration forever by getting rid of Chris Davis. Obviously, we still have to pay him, but just getting him out of the building was gigantic IMO.  I also can’t help but wonder if new ownership wants their own guy. I know Rubenstein has publicly said Elias is the guy, but we don’t know what is going on behind the scenes. Not sure if that is good or bad, but there’s the old saying “a new broom sweeps clean.”
