Ok so Rick Dempsey
I know we don’t want him, but what is it about him? Is he more old school than DT or JS? Or is it just that he’s so desperate for it. Just curious….I don’t know much about him. I just have a general feeling that I don’t want him as manager. haha

I love this quote about RBI
“Player C may have gotten the RBI, but it could very well be that Player
A drew a walk from the ace pitcher after fouling off numerous pitches. He
then advanced to 2nd on player B’s single to left. Player A might have
then stole third on a double steal, and scored on C’s sacrifice fly (which
would have been a routine out if A & B hadn’t done such a superb job getting
themselves in scoring position). C gets the RBI (and the big contract), but
was really responsible for that run?
An RBI may be the icing on the cake, but it doesn’t tell you who was the
best baker.”

I remember the exact moment I wrote off Dempsey
I think it was 2005, he’s coaching 1st base and supposedly working with the catchers. Javy Lopez has to go on the DL because he had his meat hand hanging out and got a ball hit off it. Then Chief Gil takes one off the hand a couple days later and looks like he might go down too. They ask Dempsey and he says “guys have their habits by the time they get to this level, you can’t change it.”
So you want to be a leader in the ultimate “game of adjustments” and you can’t even get a player to make as simple an adjustment as hiding his meat hand behind his glove or back? Sorry, you shouldn’t be coaching, much less managing in the major leagues — I don’t care how well you played back in the day.
Has there ever been a cooler Oriole than Eddie Murray? I mean, just straight up cool. Like a bad, suave dude. You know what I'm sayin'. COOL. SC 7/24/08
Maybe they should hire Dempsey and just guarantee the #1 pick.
And then just fire his stupid ass the second the season is over.

Somehow. Not sure how, but it would be for your own sanity.
I don’t turn on games now for my own sanity. I just get the feeling these on the field issues are nothing compared to organizational disarray.
Yeah. I don’t mean to be bandwagon, but I flip the game on, and if (when) they’re losing, I turn it right back off.
I feel like I have to turn down my level of interest for the rest of this year, or I risk hating the Orioles next year as a result.
I try to only watch
when Jones, Wieters, or Markakis are hitting or when Matusz or Arrieta are pitching. I’ve taken to turning the game on, pausing it to go do other things, and then fast forwarding through the shit that I don’t care about to watch their ABs/pitches.

Depressing
After a lifetime of following the Os, I took a multi-year hiatus beginning around 2002. During that time, I did not attend a single game or even follow the club in the papers. I mean, how much of Syd Thrift can a man take. Because I am a baseball fan, I came back when AM was hired and PA promised to stay out of his way. Since then, I have been a devoted fan. I must say, however, that this year is very hard to take.
The team is so very bad, and there is no apparent help in the minors. At this point, there is not a single position player in the minors who gets me excited for the future. Where is Bobby Grich when we need him? The lack of talent gives me a feeling of hopelessness. Its not as if there is a raft of good players down on the farm who simply need time to mature. What we have are a group of deeply flawed position prospects whose names are household words on this site: Rowell, Bell, Snyder. On the pitching side, Britton is the only player who gives me hope. I have already mentally consigned Matt Hobgood to the Billy Rowell trash heap of high draft picks whose talent was completely mis-evaluated.
Anyway, I believe that I am back to stay so long as AM or some other competent baseball man is in charge and PA leaves well enough alone. If PA re-asserts himself I will leave forever. BTW, it is simply impossible for me to feel connected to any team other than the Orioles. Its the Os or nothing.

Jason Berken to the Starters mound
Does anyone else feel that with his success in the bullpen, that Jason has earned the right to try starting again. I have my concerns, but I don’t think they outweigh the “Let’s give it a try” thought process. It may fail, but it might work, and the remainder of this season out to be about taking risks on “it might work”

If you're going to do that
you really need to send him down to AAA to build up his arm strength and get him on a routine. You can’t just throw him back into the rotation and expect it to go well.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
He's one of the few pieces on the team thats really working, and i dont want to mess with it
I think we may have found an actually very good reliever in Jason Berken, and as long as he’s happy with the role, I’d rather just check that one part off the list and move on.
Agreed.
I’d even go a step further and say I’m not particularly concerned with whether or not he’s happy with the role.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Well, i'm only concerned how it affects his performance
I’d suspect that he’d have trouble thriving in the bullpen long-term if he still views himself as starter and sees relieving as almost a punishment. On some level you have to enjoy your job to really excel at it.
It could also help
If he’s got a big chip on his shoulder and wants to dominate every single time out so he shows these stupid motherfuckers that he should be starting. That’d be fine with me.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Well, okay
but let’s at least start using him as a valuable reliever. How about that? His average Leverage Index was .7 in June (.49 before that), but he was used only once all month with the Orioles ahead, twice tied, and seven times when we were already losing.
Fire Garret Atkins.
Well yeah, this is of course something i can get behind
Baby steps though, we cant expect this organization to become competent all at the same time.
David Hernandez has been sharp out of the pen
two good relievers baby!!!

I'm too lazy to look it up right now
But I wonder how many times any reliever came in with a lead in June.
Isn't it almost impossible to believe that none of the perfect games this season have been thrown against us? -O'sFan21
I can check this out
I got nothing but time on my hands.
Mata: once
Berken: once
Hernandez: 3 times
Simon: once
Hendrickson: not at all
Albers: not at all
Ohman: 4 times
Bergesen: not at all
Castillo: not at all
So, in total there were ten reliever appearances while the Orioles were winning, and Berken got one of them – the same amount as the immortal Frank Mata. Ohman and Hernandez were the designated “winning relievers” I suppose. All of this only serves to remind me of when Dave Trembley took Berken out after one batter because he couldn’t handle high leverage situations.

The O’s are the worst team in the AL according to Chris Dial’s DRS system.
Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns.
My biggest concern there is RF
-5, really? I mean, nicks still good even if he’s not a plus defender but it takes a lot away from him. And are you really surprised that 1B, 2B, and 3B have a combined -17 and as a team we have a -15?

He has an incredible arm, which is where most of his defensive value comes from
I always thought his range is good but not steller. I dont know for sure, but i have a feeling that the outs that he records throwing people out either arent emphasized or arent included in the formula. The fact that people dont run on him at all is probably even less quantifiable.
yea....thats sorta what i meant
those formulas seem really dependent on range and what happens with BIP hit his way. his range isnt incredible, but his arm is. that just doesnt happen to be a stat that shows up anywhere.

Does he calculate it differently from FanGraphs?

And it looks like the Indians and Angels are worse than us?

Most Birdland Player
I would like to recommend a change in the most Birdland player award. Every game we vote on a player who exemplifies the spirit of birdland. Thus far, birdland embodies a spirited play like a clutch hit, good hustle, etc. But definitions need to change with the times and these are down times. Perhaps, with every loss, the most birdland player needs to be awarded to someone who most exemplifies why the fuck we lost. A botched rundown which leads to a run. That’s birdland. A blown save. That’s birdland. With this change, we could reinvigorate the MBP contest and award the players we love to hate.

I'd approve that.

you all can complain about how “nobody is asking these questions” but the guys asking the questions are smart enough to know that Samuel (and Trembley before him) don’t have a good enough reason for doing what they do.
