There has been a lot of discussion about Orioles GM Mike Elias and manager Brandon Hyde building out 2019’s on-field coaching staff, which has yet to be formally announced by the club. This is because there is a new regime in town and fans are curious to see what type of people are chosen for these coaching positions. Also, we can’t discuss the non-existent signings of actual players.
Either way, we found out on Tuesday that former Rangers pitching coach Doug Brocail was chosen as Roger McDowell’s replacement as pitching coach in Baltimore. Fans may remember him from his playing days, which spanned 15 MLB seasons.
