Glad to see Buck Britton return. He seems to be a really good manager and evaluator of talent. I would not be surprised if he's not eventually given a shot at a big league job by either the orioles or somebody one day.

I saw Melewski called out George Bell's son on one of the complex staffs.

I didn't have in active memory we've had Felipe Alou's kid on staff forever, but I think that must be him.   

Many Bats who played mostly the 60's - its hard to appreciate how good they were from the baseball card numbers.

1958-1972 - fWAR gives Felipe Alou, Sr. about 40 WAR, and rates him 27th of all MLB Bats

2009-2023 - the 26/27/28 Bats are Nelson Cruz, Ian Kinsler and Xander Bogaerts.

There were a fair number of changes.  In particular, Bowie 2023 manager Kyle Moore appears to have left the organization and every coach from last year’s staff is elsewhere in the organization this year.   Robert Mercado and his entire staff moved up a level from Aberdeen to Bowie. 

As an aside, the O’s just have a ton of coordinators and similar positions now. Each team has a manager and four coaches.  There’s just a ton more personnel in the player development department than there used to be

It’s all about translating the data to a palatable version for the players to absorb/digest.  “Conduits” of information and improvement best practices & efficiencies for every aspect of the game.  Crazy how organizations have completely transformed in the last 5-10 years.  But it makes sense, the players are the biggest assets to the org so an investment in that asset pays dividends.  It’s a lot cheaper than going out and buying the talent at market price.  I

@emmett16 (or anyone) - Since Mike Fast is quoted in the screenshots...  Do you happen to know if Alex Fast (former Pitcher List guy) is related to Mike Fast (for Houston/current Atlanta guy)?  Father/son?  

Not sure.  Tried the google machine but couldn't find anything.  Nothing was mentioned in the book.  It wouldn't suprise me if that was the case, though.

About 6 months back Alex Fast posted on his X he joined MLB Network as Director of Product and Content Strategy.

I got to meet Nick Pollack briefly at First Pitch Arizona, and he even mentioned Alex when Orioles fandom came up, but I wasn't connecting that many dots then.

Evan Drellich spends some pages in Winning Fixes Everything describing some of the Mike Fast-Sig Mejdal differences as the Astros kept pushing the frontier before Mike joined the Braves and Sig followed Elias here.

I think Sig Mejdal and Mike Fast are probably both scientific method oriented enough they can acknowledge different tastes more so than perhaps Alex Bregman and Corey Seager trading I Guess We'll Never Know taunts back and forth as the 2023 AL West and World Series championships got sorted out.

We can use a few BAL-ATL World Series to frustrate the Dodgers and so those wonks can really stress test the results of their processes.

      Where are the pollyannas?

      Hard to argue with a lot of your points. He's had two 1-1 and should have taken Witt over Rutschman and has a poor defensive second baseman with hitting issues with his other one.  He gets one more offseason with bigger pocketbooks. He gets one more year to put up or shutup.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      Baseball is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall all alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. A.

      Offer Anthony Santander 3 year 60 million contract

      Let him walk. That pop up with the bases loaded and no outs sort of encapsulates the entire postseason for us. It was a pathetic effort and we ended up with squat in a clutch situation.  The HRs are cool but he doesn't hit for average and is only getting older. And he sucks in the playoffs. Goodbye.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      Is Brandon Hyde going to pull out the “ we just need to do a better job” boilerplate or is he coming up with another way to say the same thing?    It’s easy to be snarky right now. There’s choking under pressure and there’s whatever the team has done over the last couple months. “Choke” doesn’t begin to cover the gag they threw up the last two nights when the season was on the line. Fans leaving the stadium right now aren’t just disappointed, many of them feel betrayed. Hard to blame them. I wonder if Elias might feel the same way.

      Season in a microcosm

      I just can't comprehend how the 2023 team PLUS Corbin Burnes devolved into this pile of excrement. This may be a .500, non-playoff team next year. I didn't expect any sort of magical run this playoff season, but I didn't think they'd get embarrassed AGAIN on the national stage.

      Better yet, where was Adam Frazier when we needed him most.....oh, wait, in the other dugout.    Bases loaded, no one out....sure could have used that guy that Hangouters had to jettison out of here favor of Jackson Holliday.
