I wonder if Trembley was ever in the military? He seems to carry himself like he was which I believe is an attribute as a leader. Remember Hank Bauer, he was a tough ex-Marine. That is exactly the kind of manager this team needs.

Haven't heard anything about it. He does have a master's degree though, I believe in education. It does seem that he's studied some psychology of motivation type of stuff.

Trembley was a high school teacher and baseball coach, which is as good as being in the military for toughening you up. ;)

In my mind, which may be way off, when Tejada comes back its either Fahey or Hernandez. So...what have you done for me lately? (small sample sizes)

OBP

Hernandez = .345

Fahey = .289

Fielding %

Hernandez = 1.000

Fahey = 1.000

OPS

Hernandez = .703

Fahey = .623

Age

Hernandez = 23

Fahey = 26

Just throwing a few SMALL SAMPLE SIZE numbers out there...dont even know if they mean much. Have a good one.

It was LA. I don't know that it was inner city, though. He taught here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Murphy_High_School which is apparently in a fairly affluent neighborhood now but I don't know what it was like 30 years ago when he was there.

Looks like a catholic school. Not sure that fits my image of "inner city" per se either. Still gives an interesting perspective on him I think. Plus approx 20 years as a Milb Manager. Can't help but like and respect the guy. I guess my only drawback with him (over a Davey Johnson or Girardi) is he might not have a high enough profile to challenge some of the stupid things that managment has done (or might continue to do).

Honestly, he seems less afraid to challenge the status quo than a lot of high profile guys.

Where Sam Perlozzo was like "This is my time, I sure hope I don't screw this up," Dave Trembley is "This is my time, and I'm gonna DO THIS BIATCH. OUTTA MY WAY!"

With the players no doubt. With management I'm not sure. And we've had some stupid management to be concerned about. Not saying he doesn't have the spine. Just saying a higher profile guy (Johnson, Girardi) might have/demand more influence with management over personnel decisions. Again, it would be my only concern about him.

Did you notice the bad defense from Tejada so far tonight?

I mean, he has only robbed Damon and Jeter, made a nice bare handed play and showed his great arm.

He is just awful!

His trademark "shoetop swing" is in great form as well.

      Gunnar/ Adley . Would Gunnar have been a good choice at 1-1?

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Here's a trivia question nobody is going to get unless you have Stathead: Gunnar Henderson is 2nd in modern Orioles history ('54-present) in OPS in a player's first 208 career games. Can you name the other five in the top six? If you need a hint or two, two are active, and none are in the Hall of Fame. Side note: there have only been 62 players who started their career with the Orioles and played at least the next 208 games with the team.

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      By MDK02 · Posted

      Wonder when we’ll see him again. I’m thinking it might be in 2025. If he comes up for expanded rosters, I don’t see him playing. Hopefully he can improve and be ready for his next chance in the show.

      I'm fine with 18" mitts if our guys get them too. What bothers me is no rule and then the mitts get longer and longer. Make it the same size for everyone and I'm good.

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Yep. It'll take him about 1650ish games to get there. Not that I expect Gunnar to continue to post 6.9 WAR per 162, but for now he's almost 2 wins per full season ahead of Harper. Harper is still an interesting case, where he has two actual MVP awards, but only one year where he was a no-doubt MVP. And a lot of seasons with injury or under-performance. Six seasons of less than three wins. More valuable in '15 than in '16-18 combined. 2021 he was certainly good, but arguably not as good as Gunnar's '23. Or 5-6 other NL players from '21.

      I used to have a girlfriend as a teenager who always did this. She kept asking me what color her eyes were. She was testing me to see how much I knew  her whenever she was skeptical why/if I cared about her.
