That was a one time thing, I got too heated and was way out of line. I admit it was wrong and has no place here.

You and others do it on a daily basis in a subtle way. Big difference.

Wow. For someone who just got drawn back into the board, you have an amazingly strong opinion on the posting habits of different posters and an amazingly strong desire to only discuss those habits.

If you can't take someone disagreeing with you, then why are you even here?

Gee, I didn't realize that we can't both be happy in the short term yet worried about the long term.

Thanks for clearing that up for all of us.

I wasn't clearing that up for everyone, just for me. But thanks for thinking big.

The worry for the long term shouldn't be the use of the pen, but the quality of the start. The pen last year, at least in my humble estimation, was worn out due to starters unable to get to the fifth inning so often, not because they were used to preserve a lead after a quality start.

Do some of you actually have the ability to formulate your own opinions or do you just go through life letting others dictate the way you think and feel?

I mean it is amazing to me that people are getting upset because, on a baseball message board, people are discussing managerial moves...Of course that is going to happen.

So, here is what I suggest...Either go away until the offseason, don't read the threads to begin with or if you are going to comment, let us know why you agree or disagree...Talk about baseball..That's why we are here.

Whats the problem with trembley Pulling him here?

I personally have had no issues with how Dave has handled the pitchers thus far. The Pie decision tonight is the only bone headed decision he has made thus far IMO.

I don't have an issue with people expressing why they have had issue with it though.

See, that's a different story. If the pitcher can't go any more, they can't go any more.

Hopefully this doesn't keep up, though. We really, REALLY need to hope that or else our bullpen will be shot and it won't be good even when we start seeing our young guys come up.

I don't understand. Does winning negate poor managerial decisions? Does criticism of a decision mean no one is enjoying the win? There aren't two black and white sides of this. It's possible to notice fault in a manager's style while also supporting the team and enjoying the ride.

Does Terry Francona or Charlie Manuel make it through a season without fans, media, or even players questioning the calls once in a while? Everyone focusing on the good things while blissfully ignoring the faults causes the complacency needed to breed 10+ years of losing. While I'm definitely not ready to throw in the towel on Trembley, and I even agree with his removal of Hendrickson tonight, he shouldn't be immune from criticism just because we won the game.

I don't know about others in the thread, but I was including my opinions. And I do think it is easy to second guess. That is an opinion.

For me, I had not had time to catch up on the board this week and was surprised with the number of unhappy campers is all. Like I said, it must really be bleak on the boards during a 1-3 or 0-4 run.

Part of the baseball discussion seems like it would include fan reaction to fan reaction i.e., folks that always end up as pro or con on most decisions by the manager or GM.

I didn't see that particular claim anywhere, that DT should be immune to critique. Catching up on a week of posts, I was simply blown away by nearly every move getting some grief in some form or another. Not all by the same people, just a an overall pile of second guessing I hadn't witnessed since my days of being on talk radio.

However, dropping the armchair quarterback shoe out there is only for those it fits.

You know, whenever you two get into a pissing match I'm reminded of a movie quote:

"You and I are very much alike. Archeology is our religion, yet we have both fallen from the pure faith. Our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am but a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like me. To push you out of the light."

"Now you're getting nasty."

Only, I don't know who's who...

I understand your point. And you do have a point. I just get so sick of the bullying BS that I fall into bad habits.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      Yeah both Burnes and Hyde said after the game it's because Burnes is going on regular rest to start the first WC game and so he was shortened up a bit.

      You seem to pine for guys in AAA and then (with one notable exception) judge them very harshly if they don’t perform well instantly in the majors.  This is not the time to start experimenting with Young, and that’s no reflection on him at all IMO.

      I agree with the part about Elias. He needs to operate with a little more humility (regarding his bullpen approach) and pivot in the offense regarding how he puts a pen together. He needs to get away from the arrogant thinking in believing that we are always "the smartest guys in the room" and can fix other teams junk/unwanted parts. That is fine to do some time (regardless of how much you spend). But you can't construct an entire pen made of castoffs and almost no guys with elite/power/strikeout stuff. Yes it worked great with Felix, Perez/Lopez in 22', Cano in 23'. But the problem is that we are in '24. And some of those lightening in the bottle guys have reverted back to what their talent says that they are - mediocre. We have a pen full of decent/league average/mediocre arms. That's not what you really want heading into October.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      Also, since there’s another interesting discussion going on here, I think it’s time for Hyde to have an uncomfortable conversation with Adley. I hate everything I’m about to say, because Adley is my favorite Oriole. But we have to acknowledge where we are.  Over the last few months, the only sensible approach with Adley — other than the IL, which apparently he hasn’t been eligible for — has been to keep penciling him into the lineup almost everyday and hoping he figures it out. He has a track record of consistent lifelong excellence, so it’s felt like just a matter of time before he busts the slump and rights the ship.  But he hasn’t. Adley’s line over the last 3 months, almost half a season now, is so bad that it requires a double check to be sure it’s right: .186 / .274 / .278 / .552. A 61 wRC+. And -0.2 fWAR. He has been a below replacement player for 3 months now. He has been the 3rd-worst qualified hitter in baseball over that span, and the 7th-worst overall qualified player. The “qualified” part does make it a little misleading — most of the guys who’ve been this bad have long since been benched. I think you have to consider McCann, at least in Burnes’s starts. He’s been hitting a bit (114 wRC+ since the ASB), and even if he wasn’t on a bit of a heater, his normal baseline is still better than a .552 OPS. If you do continue to play him full-time, you just can’t treat him like he’s *Adley* anymore. You have to treat him like the bad backup catcher he’s been. He has to hit at the bottom of the order. The very bottom. There’s really no reasoned basis upon which you could want to have him get more ABs than guys like Mullins or Urias right now. And you have to PH for him liberally — whichever of Kjerstad/O’Hearn doesn’t start should be looking at Adley’s slot as their most likely opportunity.  As I said, I love Adley. It’s been brutal watching him. But there are 25 other guys on the team who deserve the best shot to win a ring. And that means you can’t just keep stubbornly handing all the ABs to a guy who is desperately lost, on the blind hope that he’ll suddenly find it.

      I didn’t post it in the game thread no, but I’m also not looking for credit. I thought it was a bad move at the time to remove Burnes in the first place, and choosing Cano at that point after he’d been bombed by those exact hitters, felt odd and off to me. The only real defense I could come up with was who if not Cano?  But taking Burnes out is essentially admitting that winning that night wasnt your top priority anyway, so why not also rest Cano, who you absolutely need in the playoffs and has pitched a lot?  I just didn’t get it in real time, and I still don’t.

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?
