Trembley to be fired today?

[Frobby]

At this point, it will be a mercy killing. I feel very badly for DT but this situation has become untenable.

[NewMarketSean]

I think they will and should, he was a good soldier in the terrible dog poop he was given.

I agree, DT is an asset and his MiL record as a manager speaks for itself. But when you sever ties with someone like this, it's not a good idea to keep them around. DT has a lot of class and probably would decline a demotion as he should, but I'll be shocked if the O's don't try to keep him around.

Interesting to see who else leaves. I still think they annouce this tomorrow. All the press is up in NY and usually you do it in the Warehouse. But this is the O's so they will mess this up ,too.

Have you ever broken up with someone but continued to see them on the weekends? I haven't, but I imagine it's pretty horrible.

Also, if Samuel is the new manager, didn't he say some players on the Orioles didn't belong in the majors or something along those lines last year?

Not sure how I feel about that. I think it was in reference to Pie.

We shall see if it is Samuel. So then we have five months of guess who the next manager will be.

[VAB2110]

Congrats to Dave. He made some good money for a few years and he doesn't have to watch this mess anymore. Go do something fun, man. You deserve it.

I was thinking that if I was DT that I would strongly consider resigning after today's game—just to end this speculation and take the high road. Oh well, best of luck, DT.

And give up a million dollars?

[FR500]

Finally, "something"! An interim manager makes the best sense... just get through this awful season and then maybe, just maybe, they'll announce a new kick-butt manager early in the off season so he can get a whole new staff in place EARLY. My condolences to Juan.

He also threw Roberts under the bus last year when Roberts made a blunder, not knowing there was less than two outs. Didn't think it was the coaches responsibility to tell him that. Not much choice as manager, hope it is truly interim.

Yeah, there is that small issue

[El Gordo]

They should wait until Monday. And not make Samuel interim manager until he can explain why he sent Tejada last night down 7 runs.:rolleyestf:

[Going Underground]

Schmuck also mentions Samuel.

Replacing DT with Samuel and keeping the rest of the coaching staff in place is one of the few things the front office could do that would be worse than the status quo.

If you must have an interim manager, go with Komminsk or Gary Allenson, not your idiot third base coach who forgets how many outs there are and gets runners thrown out by 10 feet.

Better yet, just clean house. Starting with Crowley.

Hopefully they don't keep him after this year. The O's might do a little better since they can't do much worse. I don't want to hear at the end of the season that Samuel got the team on the right track and knows the players.
