There's trouble in Trembley-town.
The O's were shut out for just the second time this season on Thursday night, falling 4-0 to the Yankees.
The Birds collected just three hits (all for singles), another season low.
Brian Matusz was impressive, lasting six innings and allowing three runs off nine hits.
Once again, the invisible offense cost the O's the game.
The Orioles are now 4-18 on the season.
I've been through some rough stretches before, but I've never said, "There's always next year," during the month of April.
Something has to be done.
I like Dave Trembley. I met him once and shook his hand after an extra-inning win two years ago. Nice guy.
But if this season is based on wins and losses, there's no one else to take the blame. The O's are the worst team in all of baseball, and the upcoming schedule leaves little room for any hope or improvement. After nearly losing 100 games last year, this vastly improved team holds the second-worst start in team history.
You can't fire the team...

You can't fire the players, so it always falls on the manager. But Jon, if you bring in a different head coach, does that mean that the players start hitting with runners in scoring position and the errors stop? Remember when Mike Hargrove was the coach, the O's were still bad. He went to championships with the Indians, but all of a sudden, he turns into a bad coach? I don't think so. It's the players in the end, and they give the appearance they don't care. Neither does Angelos.
ReplyDeleteHard to say Mike. I honestly don't know. It just seems as if the team has quit playing for Trembley. I know they say they haven't, but the record tells a different story. I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Rick Dempsey fire up the team!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a day makes, though. Great game on Friday night...
