Hello, friends.
If you figured that the Orioles were going to get through the playoffs without making any kind of headlines, you were wrong, just like me. MASN’s Roch Kubatko reported on Wednesday night that third base coach Jose Flores and pitching coach Doug Brocail will not be returning to the Orioles in 2021.
Coaches are one of those things where whether they’re truly doing a good job or not is opaque to fans. You can only get a vague feeling based on what certain results are and making your own guess about how responsible the coach is for contributing to that outcome positively or negatively.
