I could see it happen but the Os should be welcoming people like this into their organization. People who care, not robots.

Should be, yes.  But the Angeloses seem to like yes-men (Brady, albeit he is no longer there, and Roch, who seems to be a yes-man).

Just saw this. LOL.  Hacked ten years ago?!

Yeah because that’s what a hacker would do. I’m sure whoever hacked his Twitter 10 years ago had a grudge against Angelos. 
 

This is a great way to end the year. New guy in a senior level position hates his boss (welcome to the club) and the Orioles look like the incompetent boobs they are.

Yup.  Just own it.  Say you were a young and passionate fan back then and it was 12 years ago if you are trying to save face.  No need to make a bold face lie in your first (second?) day on the job.

I  remember when my friend worked for the Orioles and he said he would never last. Butted heads with other Oriole executives and lasted about 9 months and was headed back to Miami. Roch had a nice article about him but when he left nothing. One day he disappeared off the Oriolre website. Most people probably have no idea who he even is or worked here. We see about the new guy

Longtime sports exec John Vidalin has rejoined the Miami Heat after a stint of less than a year as the Baltimore Orioles' chief operating officer for business operations. John Vidalin started with the Orioles in August 2018 and recently left to rejoin the Miami Heat.

    • Let's be honest, Gunnar ain't finishing second either.
    • Yeah, I don't think the Orioles' struggles against NL teams is very meaningful, but I do think the NL is stronger this year.  All the NL division leaders have looked formidable and steady throughout the season.  But also the Padres and Mets have kicked their seasons into another gear and have really impressed over the past couple of months.  Compare them to the Wild Card teams in the AL, and they just appear more formidable on paper.   Also the DBacks are pretty much outhitting everyone right now -- though that's been offset by their not so effective pitching.  
    • For sure he is out of consideration as the MVP favorite to copy Cal.  Of course,  Cal didn't have an Aaron Judge to compete with.  The runner-up in MVP voting in 1983 was a guy named Eddie Murray.  Eddie had more HR, more RBI, a higher slugging and OPS than Cal, but Cal had a higher WAR and batting average (.318 to .303).  I wonder if Eddie is bitter about losing the MVP to Cal?  A case could be made for either one. 
    • Going to lookup splits before/after AS break for 2024, but my gut tells me the O’s faltered against the NL Central division the last two years. Let’s see how October plays out!
    • I've heard folks I trust a lot here report on him as being good but on a gut level those plays bugged me too. I think Holliday is sufficient alone as a 5th infielder as a playoff roster gets configured, and believe in series you get injury replacements if Urias re-rolls the ankle or Gunnar breaks somebody else's arm.    Rivera and Soto are kind of both about that speed. From comments we know Urias, Westburg, Mountcastle the probable return order, but TBD on the Rivera, Soto, Eloy departures.    I think there's some value to Coby Mayo staying around even if he just watches ala '70 Grich "did not play in series".
    • He missed a cycle by inches on one of the doubles.
