Dave Trembley has got to go!
4 Runs in the 9th! why didnt he get the bullpen going? Is he stupid or what? Im Watched the game on Rays TV network. Dave Trembley is another peabrain like Joe Altobelli was.We Could had won it in the 9th. John Gibbons would not allow McCroy pitch in the 9th. He would simply put Sherill in and let him have his first win.Troy Percival is one of the best bullpen closers in the game and the O's score 3 off him! So Peter please Fire Dave Trembley! Good things happen when you fire a loser. The Ravens did!!! Steve Biscotti fired that sore idiot loser Brian Billick and the Ravens almost went to the Super Bowl last year! So Mr Angelos please do the right thing,,,Fire Dave Trembley ,,Donald Trump would!

"Good things happen when you fire a loser"

May i remind you The Ravens almost went to the Superbowl. You think Billick would allow Flacco QB for the Ravens? Hell no his main man would be Troy Smith. Dave Trembley is just like Brian Billick. Brian Billick says "" I know Quarterbacks"" Sure he does,,Just like He let Trent Dilfer go after he won the Superbowl and he wanted that Elvis QB! And He let Derrick Anderson get away from the Pratice Squad and he became a Starter for the Cleveland Browns. And Trembley claims he knows about the game. Sure he does,,,Just like he let McCroy pitch 4 runs in the 9th and we come back lose by 2!! So hes got to go!!!

May I remind you
that the Ravens already had one of the best defenses in the league and a pretty solid O-line, not to mention a good running game made great with the likes of Ray Rice and Le’ron McClain. Oh yea, there’s also the fact that that happened in the NFL, a league made for parity, and the O’s play in the MLB, a league where the gaps between teams are huge and long running. There really aren’t many similarities between the O’s and the Ravens. Gibbons would NOT make the 09 O’s winners.

The Ravens going 5-11 in 2007
was thanks to injuries, a tough schedule and alotta bad breaks i.e. Phil Dawson hitting the upright and making a kick.

Billick, Trembley, and Reality
Not that I care for the Ravens, but I love how the Ravens “almost went to the Super Bowl” (translation: didn’t go to the Super Bowl) after firing the coach that led them to a Super Bowl victory, and this is seen as an improvement.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Harbaugh is some kind of colossal failure, but neither is he Vince Lombardi resurrected. As far as whether Billick would start a rookie QB, it seems to me he did that very thing with Kyle Boller back when.
Anyone who is out for blood based on a game in May with a team that’s rebuilding needs to take a deep breath, calm down, and be patient.
And appealing to Peter Angelos…that’s rich. As if he’s keen on appealing to the fans.

Point of order...
…the only reason Flacco started in ‘08 was because Boller and Smith were unable to play. It wasn’t some shrewdly brilliant move by Harbaugh. Boller was out for the year, Smith was seriously sick & wasn’t even at playing weight.
You could have put a monkey at coach & he’d have been forced to make the same move.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
Remember Casey Bramlet?
The emergency QB they brought into camp for one week because he knew Cameron’s offense? He played sorta OK and the talk radio caller brain trust was breathing fire when we cut him. Oh, fun memories.

Because there was no one else out there.
When you have a starter go 2 innings the night before, your bullpen gets a wee bit taxed, but of course, let’s just throw Sherrill, Johnson, and Baez out there everyday until their arms fall off.
Perhaps you should take some time and become a Reds fan, I hear Dusty Baker enjoys letting his pitchers arms get to the point of uselessness.

Absolutely right
After the collapse of ‘07 the squawk radio yammerheads up here were howling for Willie Randolph’s head all day, every day. And, eh, someone remind me again how Sep. ’08 worked out for Manuel.
Of course if you kiss the right asses and put up with “if you could be any kind of tree…” questions instead of insisting that they stick to, well, baseball, you can get away with murder. Torre excelled at this, which is why he was considered John McGraw, Casey Stengal & Walter Alston all rolled into one. Even though he applied the “Bradbury Doctrine” to all relievers not named Rivera – “burn them to ashes and then burn the ashes.”
You can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever.

When there are no players that can get the job done…
MacPhail needs to go make something happen before Dave can take the blame
The bats would’ve stunk had the game been close anyways… that’s just how it works

You have to admit though, last night was a little rediculous. Trembly left McCroy in there to dry, and pretty much gave up on the game in the 9th. You can’t leave a guy in there after he gives up 3 walks and a past ball to 3 out of 4 batters, you just can’t. Another thing that pissed me off was his decision to take Uehera out of the game Sunday after 6. Takes him out and our bullpen gets shelled in the 7th. I just think his managing has been very questionable as of late. How hurt in Adam Jones by the way?

have you seen koji pitch after the 6th? not pretty.

not relevant
koji was dealin’. you can’t base everything on numbers. on a certain day, a pitcher may well be comfortable enough to pitch a complete game even though their last three games have been crap. you don’t manage solely by statistics, it’s moronic.
that said, my understanding is that koji himself admitted he was tired.

He's been a reliever for 2 years
Hasn’t thrown over 85 IP in 2 years?
Matt Wieters took batting practice this morning. There were no survivors.
obviously
but my point wasnt that because he’s sucked after the 6th before, that you dont ever pitch him more than 6. just that keeping him in wasnt necessarily going to give positive results. Then everyone would be saying “Trembley sucks! Koji is crap after 6 and he kept him in! Waaa!” All i’m saying is don’t assume the decision was wrong just because the bullpen didn’t hold up its end of the bargain.
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
I agree with that, but why change something when there’s nothing wrong with it. Back in the day Earl Weaver would have never taken a guy out if he was pitching that well.
by easternshore oriole on May 14, 2009 11:12 AM EDT reply actions
Earl Weaver never had a pitcher
who was:
A: a 1-inning reliever the past two years
AND
B: used to a longer rest between starts
AND
C: showing a history of running badly out of gas around 85 pitches
and if he had a pitcher with all three of those things Earl might very well take him out, because in spite of what so many people seem to think Earl played the damn percentages and that’s what made him such a good manager.

Or maybe we should keep him around until he actually has a good ball club that knows how to play baseball. Once the players are in order, perhaps then we can micromanage the manager and second guess his every decision.

But John Gibbons would make em play harder and turn this ballclub around.Remember how Billy Martin did it on the A`s back in early 80s? A`s drew only 5,000 a game before Billyball came. And Fans didnt like Charley Finley. And when he hired Billy Martin he turned the A`s around. He make Pitchers work hard,,Rookies work hard and he didnt want to heard any excuses. I remember Ricky Henderson got yelled at by Billy Martin boy did he start to steal bases. Billy Martin is the guy who can light a fire in your eyes and then you really play hard.Now just imagine John Gibbons is O’s manager and during those workouts he tells them lets ,,Do it again!!! Were be here all day until you get it right. And Imagine John Gibbons making O’s players sweat to death in spring training and will do long workouts. By the time the players get though all of this theyre be real angry and start to play angry and then youll start winning. The A’s players didnt like Billy,,The Yanks didnt like Billy. The Jays didnt like John Gibbons and the O’s will hate him too and but theyre start winning. John Gibbons is like a marine drill sergent. Just go and ask those soldiers how they feel about the Drill Sergent theyre tell you they hate his guts. And get this,,,The Blast Players one time didnt like Kenny Cooper. Back in 1984 Blast were on a 10 game losing streak,, Kenny didnt like losing a bit. So one day he took em out to Federal Hill and do those excerizes and the players got angry cause they did an extreme hard workout. Chris Thomas on channel 11 showed this,,He said the next game will be good trust me!! And the Blast won 10-4 over pittsbugh that night.So Tough coaches can turn a team around just like Mike Ditka did to the Bears And Billy Martin did to the A`s.

But John Gibbons said he wants to Manage again. And when Peter fires Dave then he’ll give Mr Gibbons a call. John Gibbons is a bullpen coach for the Royals. you really think he wants to remain a Bullpen coach? Look what happened Ravens coach Rex Ryan. He was under contract. Now he went to the NY Jets as an Head Coach. And the samething can happen to John Gibbons. He can take that Managers job when a new club wants him reguardless what kind of a contract has has right now. If Rex Ryan can leave while still under contract so can John Gibbons.

In the NFL, I think you have to let your under-contract assistants interview for a job that would be a promotion. (For example, linebackers coach to defensive coordinator), but for a lateral move, you have the option to give them permission. Could be wrong about that.
I don’t know the rules for MLB, but wasn’t John Gibbons kind of a douchebag, anyway?
If Dave gets fired, probably one of the current coaches takes over for the rest of the year. I’d like to see Chris Hoiles get an interview, but since he’s got no experience at all in MLB-affiliated ball, he probably wouldn’t. At least Chris Hoiles is cool.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
he's a bench coach, not a bullpen coach.
facts. they are your friends.
Oh, and by all means, let’s put THIS guy in charge of our team:
On May 28, 2005, Gibbons chastised former Toronto starter Dave Bush in the dugout after the right-hander showed his displeasure on the mound about being removed from a game. The next day Bush was sent to the minor leagues. After the season, Bush was traded to the Brewers, where the former 2nd round draft pick doubled the number of wins he had achieved in either season as a Blue Jay.
