So yesterday they hired Cal Perry and you can read the press release, not that interesting imo 

 

And today people found assorted tweets from him criticizing Peter Angelos such as "Peter Angelos: I loathe you. Retire. Sell. You suck. The Orioles are 1-10. Week two: 1-10. You stole my childhood too. Give Balt. a team!

 

The tweets are from 2009 and 2010 so not very recent, but still seems like an amusing little development I thought I'd share with those who aren't on Twitter very much.

Lol, that’s great. Guess we’ll see how strong Elias’ full autonomy clause in his contract is. That family is absolutely petty enough to try and get this person fired as soon as they find out. Kudos, Cal. I respect that.

If you read the release, Elias isn't in it.  John Angelos announced the hire. 

 

“Today, I am extremely proud to announce that yet another highly sought-after, world-class executive from the entertainment, sports, or media industries has accepted my invitation to join the Orioles, as the Club continues to recruit the most talented, forward-thinking individuals inside or outside of MLB and the media space,” said Orioles Chairman and CEO John Angelos.

I dont think he crossed a line. At least not with John. In some ways you appreciate the passion and love an individual feels towards the club he is about to work for. I dont think its out of the realm of possibility this was discussed. Listen, if you put things on twitter like that and expect them not to be found.

If everyone who blasted someone on Twitter got fired, very few would be working.

Seriously, I have no idea, what this person will be doing, but if it does not entail helping put a better team on the field, I don't care.

At least when the team falls short of what it could have been had they tried this winter, we can go to the O’s Twitter feed for an honest take on it. Assuming Twitter isn’t bankrupt by then.

From the press release:

 

"transformational moment, when there are countless stories to tell, memories to make, and visitors to attract to this community as we expand the Club’s on-field progress"

 

Maybe he can start with a story about how they expanded their on field progress this winter.....LOL

Also curious if the belief is the shift restrictions could help him. Would like to know if his K rate is pretty low.

Ah, to have a short story don't you have to be able to write a few words. Or maybe its a really really short story bound to be a best seller.

 

I can see it now.

Feels a little off to me. 

Maybe there's a skill set to leverage, but he's a broadcast journalist and much of his experience is in the middle east.

 

Now he's a Senior VP.  Maybe a Social Circle hire.

Feels like he should have/could have been a MASN hire not an O's hire, to the extent those are separate. But whatever, no impact on the baseball part of the business.
