Mazzone let go

[Sports Guy]

Maybe. Maybe not. It's hard to assume anything at this point.

I am not assuming....Just passing along what I have been told in regards to Crowley.

And how many times have we gotten info from insiders that, for whatever reason, doesn't pan out? Be careful before saying things like "that's what is going to happen." As you've said countless times yourself, things can change at the last minute.

I have already stated that unless Crowley resigns......

Or unless the Orioles change their mind. You never know-- maybe they'll sit down and actually look at the team's offensive stats since Crowley has been here. We can only hope.

If they don't already know this, they should all be fired.

PITCHING AND DEFENSE!

[Baroquen131]

There's the old quote attributed to Einstein:

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Since we're keeping the same hitting coach, let's hope they at least change the bats. All of our positional starters are 30+, I believe, (w/ exception of Nick) and probably aren't going to get offensively better. And the wonderful mantra of "pitching and defense" isn't going to get this group into the playoffs anytime soon. IMHO, of course.

It looks like the Orioles are going to get their guy...

If I’m you, I’d start looking up Bruce Kranitz’s bio. Get to know him.

Hopefully that is true. It seems the O's were targetting him for awhile and it would be nice if we got our target. Hopefully he turns out to be a good coach and helps our pitchers.

Yes, I believe it is. I just copied and pasted from Roch's blog, so thats on him. He referenced "Bruce Almighty" earlier in the post, so thats probably what crossed him up...
