The Official Baltimore Orioles Thread of Hope and Change (Yes We Can!)

I was always under the impression that a manager generally affects between 7 and 10 games a year. I can't imagine what was going on with Trembly and Samuel that would make this team under perform that much. That has to be a bit embarrassing.

Man, and I thought I was an optometrist.

I appreciate the OP's attempt at humor.

Nice to see the title edited. I'll be out there tonight! I'm really starting to worry about Matusz's smarts, though. His worst pitch is his fastball, shakes off Wieters with the bases loaded on Saturday so he can throw a 90 mph fastball for a grand slam. His change-up would have tied the guy up in knots.

He shouldn't do this. This is a major problem with young pitchers, they should shake at most twice a game.

Alfredo Simon is officially fired.

2 out walk-off bunt. Yeeeaaah! (agreed about Simon).

Gabino has got to Gabingo. This bullpen is quite bad, also I still don't like Jason Berken. But Koji as the closer seems to be a good idea.
