so, buck...

really dig him using the number johnny oates used. showalter claims to be a johnny oates disciple and if he gave the o’s a run like johnny oates did, i think i’d chalk that up as a success.

Buck

I am really excited about this team. I think having Buck around will instantly instill confidence in the players knowing they have a manager that can put their talents and abilities in a position to succeed. Contracts, FO hissy fits, upsetting the golden boy, etc. aside, the man knows how to put his players in a position to succeed. For me that was my biggest gripe about DT. And for that, I am excited. And like he said, at this point we only look forward. Now, pass me more of that kool-aid, please.

Line by Connolly in Orioles Insider

that makes me sad.

I know many of you aren’t buying the company line, the same one that hinted this season would be more about wins and losses than development. It looks like, right now, 2010 has been about neither.

I took the "right now" to indicate

it’s possible we’ll see a change with the new manager.

This season has been the worst season I’ve ever watched for exactly what Connolly said. This season has been about nothing but the ineptitude of the Orioles.

I just saw at the Sun website that the Orioles will open on the road against Tampa again next year.

And it will be on Friday, April 1st. It’ll be weird to open on a Friday. I heard they were going to try and open the season earlier to avoid postseason games being played in November.

We’ll play that weekend series and then come back home to play Detroit on Monday the 4th.

I don't know what the deal was

I was just sitting in my car, but I could barely hear him. It was weird.

Samuel

Why is he not going back to being the 3B coach?

Librarians are hiding something

by dfa on Aug 3, 2010 3:28 PM EDT reply actions  

Because he doesn't want to

He was offered the gig for the rest of the season, and declined.

He has not been doing well in AAA this time around.

I hope he’s working on something rather than just pitching to win, but even if he is, the lines don’t look pretty.

As much as they've mindfucked him...

You’re surprised? Really?!?! They may have already destroyed this kid… Bergy, matusz and arrietta get 10 ft leashes, he got 1 inch..

In other words, the same lineup as before

I wonder if it was Buck who first suggested batting Nick 2nd.

If this is the lineup we see for most of the rest of the season, I'm OK with that.

Some development from the 5-8 hitters would be even better.

Do you CC opened in two windows/tabs? I do that sometimes and it messes with the new comments.
