Overview

  • Tony Mansolino, previously the Orioles' third base coach, has been named interim manager following Brandon Hyde's firing after a 15-28 start to the season.
  • The Orioles are on a six-game losing streak, having lost their first two games under Mansolino's leadership, and now face the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field.
  • Mansolino, who has no prior Major League managerial experience, prepared for his new role by studying game strategies and lineups on the flight to Milwaukee, helping him overcome initial anxiety.
  • He reflects on personal connections to Milwaukee, including his father Doug Mansolino's involvement in a 1993 on-field brawl while coaching for the Chicago White Sox against the Brewers.
  • Doug Mansolino later joined Brewers manager Phil Garner's coaching staff, building a professional relationship despite their earlier confrontation.
