With Orioles’ ‘studs exposed,’ coach Tim Cossins appreciates fans’ criticisms: ‘If people aren’t talking about it, we’re going backwards’

Amid his third season as major league field coordinator and catching coordinator on manager Brandon Hyde’s staff, Cossins said Friday that he understands fans’ frustrations with himself, pitching coach Chris Holt, hitting coach Don Long and Hyde for how the catchers, pitchers, hitters have played as the team (46-94) marches toward a third straight full season of 100 or more losses.
