Can't blame Tremblay for this one

He’s just using the guy that MacPhail bought him. He made a great sub, putting Felix in as a pinch runner. Wieters would not have scored on Cesar’s hit. That was the winning run, in a fair uinverse.
I can no longer say that reliever’s name.
His name is, hopefully, “Gone.”

Felix wouldn't have scored on that hit either

had the catcher hung onto the ball. He was out by a mile.

I dont consider catching a very catchable throw from 2nd having to makea "perfect play"

When it comes down to it, Samuels job is to give the team the best chance to score, be that sending the runner or holding him at 3rd. 99% of the time that is an out. He was done.

That's great

It worked out today (though we lost Wieters because of that move and there was a wild pitch in the 9th he may block, but whatever). I just hate that Juan Samuel sends these guys without having any real idea if it’ll even be close or not. He’s always been that way and we just let him stay there. He’s not good at his job.

I don't know my available 3rd base coaches all that well

Mike Bordick’s been working with the team. He always seemed like a guy with his head in the game and he was a strong fundemental player. The point is you don’t keep dealing with the same failings over and over. If it’s not getting better, change it.

i mean i guess we did force them to make the play

but I think 9 times out of 10 he’s out. The throw literally beat him by 10 feet. And really if the throws had been better it would have beaten him by 15.

sometimes you have to take a chance in a late game with two outs when the next guy up is julio fucking lugo, and your #9 hitter just miraculously came through with a gapper.

I’m really curious to see how Trembley and MacPhail handle this after all the yapping about “winning matters” and “it’s time to get some wins”. I figure their hand is getting forced a lot earlier than they planned.

by drj on Apr 9, 2010 6:53 PM EDT reply actions  

hand, forced

The only sensible option is to give the next save opp to another pitcher. I say JJ, but I haven’t seen anyone pitch yet this year, so I have nothing other than stats and internet hearsay to base this on.

That's the second of the "three games"

But I think all of us knew he’d have at least three crap outings out of 60+ this season. It just hurts because they’ve all been back to back.

He’s not worth what we invested in acquiring him. But he should be a useful arm (I hope) over the course of the season.

Always being so logical and reasonable

Sometimes you just gotta let go and say fuck gonzo he sucks ass, and someone tells you how bad he may feel you tell them right back that if he felt that bad he could give the team a damn refund. The dude has a career ERA of 2.62, and with the money he cost he better not keep this shit up.

Normally i stand behind logic and reason

but I support moving Gonzo off the closer role NOW. I know it’s a small sample blah blah blah. But let him work out his kinks in low leverage situations. He’s pitching horrible now and that’s all that matters.

Well, that's fine...

It appears I'm the first person back from the game.

I said this in the gamethread, but there was some sheer hilarity going on. They said on TV most likely that was a guy streaking, or some term that means something like that’s happening. So here’s how it went down:

a drunk guy jumps the fence, and then, rather then just running around wildly, he then proceeds to hi five people. It was like Cal at 2,131. He just slowly walked around giving people fives. The whole crowd was cheering wildly.

Haha, I was wondering what happened there

The masn guys didn’t specify beyond “intruder on the field,” which contrary to their intentions, only makes me want to know what happened more :)

by zsiv on Apr 9, 2010 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

So now what do you do?

We all understand that taking a guy out of an established role after three innings is overreacting, but there are only so many gutwrenching losses a team and its fans can take at the beginning of a year. In the middle of a season you’d cut him more slack.

So what do you do now? 1) Maybe he’s not healthy. Give the job to someone else for a few chances. 2) Even if he is healthy, say he isn’t, and give the job to someone else for a few chances. This allows Gonzo to save face. 3) Let someone else close for a few chances, and let Gonzo work things out in low stress situations (not that we’ve had any of those so far) 4) Keep him in there.

No obvious solution, I don’t think.

I'm just as mad as everyone else,

But booing and hating Gonzalez isn’t going to help, It can only make things worse. Booing our own players is like sinking down to Yankee fan territory. Obviously the guy knows he’s doing terribly, and he’s getting paid $6 million a year, but it is only the 4th game of the year. How many times have the Yankees had terrible starts only to go on have great seasons? I’m not saying the O’s are going to have a great season, but it’s only the 4th game.

Yeah, Gonzalez did blow almost 3 games, but give him a chance. His pitching is his fault, and his alone, but he’s not the one keeping the entire lineup from hitting in clutch situations so far. He’s not the one who made The Dr. miss that flyball in the 1st inning. He’s not the one keeping our starters from pitching 6 innings.

He was the best FA reliever there was, and I’m happy they signed him. I thought he would go to a big market team, but he WANTED to come here. 304 games, 2.62 ERA, 55 SV in 68 SVO, 132 BB to 333 K, and a .212 OBA.

I think he deserves more than 3 games before anyone gives up on him.

so until i just can’t stand it anymore, i support you mike gonzalez!
