The O's have been better under Mansolino because their team ERA is over a full run better since he took over. (Thanks, Trevor Rogers.) Do you give Mansolino credit for that? I don't. Also, maybe the biggest issue the O's must solve is why their offense is league avg going back to the 2024 AS Break

I'm pretty firmly in the "no" camp, but this is a nice discussion. In general, I think an MLB manager's effect is overrated. Still, it seems like the O's could benefit with someone with more experience. They have to do better than Mansolino

look, i get that the frequent fan complaining can be annoying (and i'm mostly content with the O's moves so far), but maybe a team that's supposed to be in its competitive window but 1) isn't winning this season and 2) hasn't won a single playoff game under this regime deserves some second-guessing
