Former MLB catcher Curt Casali was a guest on Glenn Clark Radio Tuesday.

Among the topics he discussed were:
-Why he was immediately impressed by new Orioles manager Craig Albernaz when they were both catchers in Rays Spring Training
-The quality of human that the man he knows as “Alby” is within the game
-What impact Albernaz can have specifically on Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo
-Can Albernaz demand respect and accountability on Day 1 despite not having previous MLB managerial experience?
-How will he work with (and maybe push back on when needed) Mike Elias and the front office?
