Please!!!
can some one give me a reason why i should keep on watching the orioles. They make it so easy to turn off the game night in and out. The scalp free zone is no more, you have to pay an extra for going down to the game the day of and oh yea we suck!!!!. Way to go Orioles you guys up in the front office know what you are doing. So saying this can some please give me a reason to watch them this weekend?
I can give you yet another reason not (Saturday, at least)
THEY’RE NOT ON TV!

Dempsey
Dempsey should be the manager execpt i think he is crawled way to far up MASN’s a**. Then again you can’t blame really the manager we just need better players period.
You can blame the manager
Dave’s been handed personnel that is far better than 1-9. If he can’t motivate them to put more effort in than I witnessed last night, then he’s not doing his job. It’s fucking embarrassing.
We should get Ripken Jr to come back and coach. Anyone could do better then this. Damn i could coach better then this.

The thing is!!!!!
This group of players have been bred to lose!!! They have a losing mentality. WE NEED a clean up hitter cause I think that would make markakis a lot better. Hell that would make the lineup a lot better.
Dude hell half these players havent played a whole season in the majors. Markakis and Jones werent bred to lose and they dont have that mentality damn u should at least know that bout jones. Yes we do need a cleanup hitter but that might not effect the lineup that much we still need the rest of the Lineup to pick up the slack.

Dude!!!
First of all we have about 5 or 6 players that haven’t played a full season. Bergesen, Berken, Matusz, Hernandez, Craig Tatum, and Weiters. And yea this is jone’s 3rd year and markakis’s 4th. All’s we have done is lose. You can just look at them and they look defeated. That is where we miss Kevin Millar cause he atleast provided excitment in the club house. I totally agree thought that one player in the linuep won’t totally fix the problem but having a power hitter bat behind markakis will probably give markakis the chance to see better pitches. Im just frustrated and i think i have the right to be. I am a die hard oriole fan and i feel like have been cheated in some ways. I feel like good days are ahead but this 1-9 start is a tough pill to swallow.

I'm not overly excited
2 of his three hits were garbage (a blooper on a terrible swing and a fly ball where the OFers shit in their pants) and his other 2 ABs were atrocious.

pie’s shoulder hurts every time he throws the ball
so you can slot him into at least one long DL stint this year too
If it's throwing that hurts
why don’t they just DH him?

I gotta feeling that if they fire Trembley they will probably hire some crappy manager then give the job to an old player. Otherwise Garner comes and our losing season streak continues. Its not the players fault any other manager could possibly be in contention in the beginning of the season with these players. Remember the other year we were in 1st place at the All Star break and we had worse players then we have now.

Bad at baseball. Bad at merchandising?
I went to the website to check the final score. (It was 5-0 when I went to bed, right after Atkins flied out with the bases loaded).
I was kind of impressed that the Orioles scored runs. That’s kind of like a moral victory.
I couldn’t help notice the ad on the website for “Capapalooza” (25% off regularly priced hats).
But why would an Orioles fan buy an Orioles hat with huge “88” on it?
I do own an O’s hat that has a small orange “1988” on the closure strap. I don’t know why it’s there, and I used a pen to turn the last “8” into a “3”.
thats why 25% off

I didnt watch the game (funny how much better i feel today) but,
rocked sounds pretty harsh. 4 runs, 1.6 WHIP? Thats not great by any stretch, but it should be good enough for our offense to stay in the game.
True im being harsh but i think im also thinking bout last year and how many home runs he gave up. Him and Guthrie gave up a damn lot

that was such horseshit.
but pretty much sums up the entire night.
check swing singles and emergency swings all seem to find holes.
anything the birds hit was either at’em or within flashy diving range.

I agree that nothing FUNDAMENTALLY Trembley does is hurting us....
Well almost nothing…. AND I was one of the ones screaming for him to be canned last year for the record. That being said, I truly think they just need a new locker room presence. Clearly the auro stinks and it might be a breath of fresh air to get a new skipper in there. I AGREE THE “Xs AND Os” won’t change much if at all, but these guys don’t appear to be reacting to anything right now. Like they’re all sleepwalking. Jones trotting down to first last night and not running that triple out was insane.
by Wieters Wieners on Apr 16, 2010 9:00 AM EDT reply actions
disagree with fundementals
His lineups are crap. He can’t keep mixing them up EVERY game. He chose one that worked (wieters 4th) and he scraped it the next game. No one is pitching to wieters just like no one was pitching to markakis. His AA “lets give everybody a chance to play” approach is crap. If he is going to try something new it has to be more than 1 game. I do blame him becasue we all know the potential these kids have and he is not putting them in a postion to realize it. That is his fault.
Well that's why I qualified it as "well almost nothing (fundamentally)"
I really liked that lineup as well…. BUUUUUUT “he scrapped it the next game” because Wieters had played the first 7 days straight and needed a day off. And I mean, he does have to keep mixing the lineup up until he finds something that works. The offense and bullpen has been miserable. Who would have EVER DREAMED out starting pitching (Bergeson aside) would be one of the least of our problems this year.
Sheeeeesh, what a nightmare. Im officially on the ledge.
by Wieters Wieners on Apr 16, 2010 9:13 AM EDT up reply actions
i understand the day off
but last night – miggi is back in the 4 spot. no protection and Wieters is pitched around again. Markakis needs to hit in front of Wieters. I guess I look at “fundementals” from a coaching standpoint as understanding his players abilities and putting them in a postion to do well – which he is failing at. The bullpen – agree – crap.
Who exactly would you have "protecting" Wieters?
I don’t think there’s anybody in the lineup that a pitcher wouldn’t rather face than Wieters right now.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
reimold
he is very paintent at the plate, will take a walk and he can hit for power. that gives you three paintent players (slumps aside).
I mean sure when Reimold is hitting well that would be great.
But he’s been fucking terrible so far this year.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
becasue
DT isn’t playing him. thats my point. I think he should be the DH and scott should be benched. im going to lunch – back in 30
I could certainly get on board with that
I just don’t think having him behind Wieters right now will do anything since he’s struggling.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
it should go markakis, wieters, jones..
tejada can hit two and reimold can hit behind jones… but that’s just my opinion..

by snakethejake on Apr 16, 2010 11:51 AM EDT up reply actions
i like that as well
at this point i think pitchers would rather face jones than reimold, but eventually jones may be the better option
Eh
I don’t buy into the whole “get used to their role in the lineup.” Regardless of where they hit their job is to get on base.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
understand
but they will learn how pitchers will pitch to them and can then be aggressive or work the count. I think that will help them do their job better. I know its tough now because everyone is in a slump but there needs to be some consistency.
I guess
I don’t know. I think pitchers pitch guys based on the situation and the guys themselves – not where they are in the lineup.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
at the end of the day
this is all moot. No roberts, no pie (confirmed?), and everyone is in a slump. If I knew how to put these guys in a lineup that would produce runs, I would not be sitting at this desk. That’s DT’s job – which he is not doing. So I guess I don’t have to do my job? We’ll see how that works out for me…and him.
At the end of the day...
He has been mixing up the lineups ALOT, and nothing has proven to be successful. The guys are just slumping. You can re-arrange your poo in the toilet however you like, but its still poop.
That being said, FIRE HIM and bring in a fresh face if nothing else to hit the reset button and chance the environment. Its not like he’s really ADDING anything so I dont see what it could hurt.

Bring up Hughes!
Pie is hurt, Hughes is busting his tail AND mashing the ball. He has been playing some outfield and the Orioles need a slugger in the cleanup spot. I don’t see a downside to this, right now. Put Pie on the DL and get his shoulder healed. Play Hughes somewhere (DH, LF, 1B) and bat hit 4th.

The awfulness that is the armpit of America is the reason kids can’t read. I am not sure how it relates but until you prove me wrong – it is what I believe.
I'd be completely fine
with handing over the lower half of NJ to Pennsyltucky. I went to the Phillies game yesterday and wow. There’s just a whole different genetic code down there. I mean, they puke on each other on purpose!

I'd agree to that.
PA would be a much better state minus Philly. Our highway funds wouldn’t be going to subsidize SEPTA, we wouldn’t have a crippling deficit, and businesses would actually consider moving here. I would even take south Jersey to make this happen. Ocean City is nice.

MD could certainly say that about Baltimore…

yes.. truly pathetic
they are worst in the LEAGUE @ 0.159 with RISP!!! 10 hits in 63 ABs with Miggy collecting 4 of them..
or what about RISP w/ 2 outs… the O’s are 1/29 while the league average is 0.250
imagine if… because that’s all we can do
Matt Wieters is lucky to be in f#cking baseball! Oh wait, that’s another guy…

I mean, hell, look at the National League.
No, that joke was too easy. Seriously though, I’m guessing the Orioles aren’t the only team with some subsection of fans that’s always clamoring for some random minor league scrub to get called up and get his chance, and inevitably when he does get called up, he sucks. A few years ago it was people going nuts on Roch’s blog on The Sun wanting to see J.R. House and Jon Knott. I mean honestly… who the hell cares?

Klaw (1:00 PM): Potential RoY, future Cy contender.
magnum rolle (dc): Thoughts on Brian Matusz?
Jayson Stark (1:56 PM): That’s my AL rookie-of-the-year pick. This guy is going to be a big, big winner. It sure wasn’t his fault he didn’t win the other night. He was unhittable for six innings. And there’s going to be a lot more where that came from.

Hmm.....
Millwood, Kevin

Braden, Dallas
(1-0, 2.77)
Hard to tell. O’s are struggling to score runs, but Millwood can pitch deep. That 7.5 is a very good line to set. No sure I’m touching it. Do the A’s win 5-4 or 4-3? The O’s have the 2nd best starter against a guy who hasn’t given up much this year. Hmmm…

Is it me or is Oakland's field setup one of the oddest in baseball?
The pitchers are warming up right beside the basepath. Last night, a ball passed the bullpen catcher and went straight to the wall.
Who are the ad wizards that came up with that one?

This article over at minor league ball was pretty interesting
http://www.minorleagueball.com/2010/4/16/1426589/discussion-question-lineups
random 9 players, against matt garza, in a neutral ballpark. set the batting order.
this needs to be bigger news
this needs to be the biggest news on here. this should actually be front-page.
this is outrageous.
I have not been a vocal angelos critic… I kinda just accepted the fact we had a ridiculous owner. But doing this because he’s scared he would get credit if we were to win right now?
