Trembley

[Hank Scorpio]

This is in regard to his general demeanor.

When he first assumed control of the team and for a long time afterwards, he was a take charge, no BS type of guy.

After watching this discussion about his meeting with the players last Friday, I'm a little concerned that he's becoming a little too "Perlozzo-ey" in that he's becoming more of a shoulder to cry on than a manager.

That bothers me, and it leads me to believe that there might be some players that he's trying to win over a bit.

Has anyone else noticed a little softening in his pressers? It certainly seems to me that there has been a distinct change over the course of the last 3 or 4 weeks.

Yea I agree. I don't like the attitude this team has carried the past month or so. Well, probably the past 11 years but you get what I mean. They are never accused of hustling or resembling anything like the Twins. Roberts should be benched right away when he doesn't run out a ground ball but that doesn't happen. The O's veterans have given up playing already this year.

I'd like our coach to have some real balls. DT seems to be very laid back lately. We're not the team you need to be laid back with!

I could not agree more, and was thinking the same exact thing watching his post game press conference. We LOST this game, moreso than the L in the Loss Column will imply, and Trembley was almost making excuses. I don't want Ozzie Guillen, but come on, show some flare.

One thing is for sure, I never see any fire from him in regards to calls from umpires.

[Hank Scorpio]

He just seems like a less take charge guy to me lately, and that reminds me A LOT of Perlozzo once he started losing the clubhouse.

Once you're trying to win players over, you're in hot water IMO.

I'm not sure that's what he's trying to do, but this change in attitude certainly isn't a good sign.

He won't last the season IMO...

Performances like tonight after an off-day no less are unacceptable and you can bet MacPhail is starting to take notice.

It's not the on field performance that is of concern to me really, just his demeanor in regards to his interaction with the players.

I haven't heard much criticism from him lately.

[LookitsPuck]

If it means anything, Hank, and I'm not saying anything again regarding "definites" since people get in a fizzy over things I say, but from what I've heard, a lot of players really haven't taken to Trembley. And this goes back to last season as well as in the off season. Now some of it has changed due to new faces in the club house (and a lot of old removed), but you can bet it's the case still. Hell, even elsid had some things to say about it.

I'm curious as to how you determine this. Is this from his attitude in his pressers, or what you observe on TV when they show shots of the dugout. I haven't been watching the games lately. Was there a shot of someone crying on his shoulder?

[threedaysrest]

Might DT have some idea about his contract status that has facilitated this change in demeanor?

If DT is dismissed, who replaces him? Few people want to try to answer this question.

Watch the discussion with Roch that I posted.

That's the gist.

[jets4ever]

It seems almost certain that we will have a new manager next season. Who that will be is anybody's guess?

[Hank Scorpio]

I am in no way advocating the dismissal of Trembley, by the way.

That is not the intent of this thread.

It could just simply be that he's an in-house criticizer, and maintains a different face for the rest of us. There really is no point sharing particularly negative viewpoints on players with the media.
