Guthrie

Jeremy Guthrie has been awesome for the O’s this season. Last night was one of his ‘lesser outings,’ if you could possibly call going 6.1 innings, giving up 7 hits and 2 runs, striking out 6 and walking 1 a lesser outing. Guthrie has been a great great pickup from waivers. If Guthrie would get [...]

Cal on the State of the O’s

Cal spoke today.
A few highlights:
“There’s a lot of frustration, not only on the field or around the Oriole organization. The people around here just want a winner in the worst possible way,” Ripken said today during a teleconference held by TBS. “And the frustration really comes out loud and clear when changes are made.”
On the [...]

Trembley Interview

The O’s website has this interview with Orioles interim Manager Dave Trembley.
MLB.com: How long have you been in love with baseball? Did you have the stereotypical American upbringing?
Trembley: I grew up loving the game and listening to it on the radio, cutting the box scores out of The Sporting News that you bought for a [...]

The search begins anew

The O’s begin the search for a new manager says the Sun:
Those who could receive consideration include three former Orioles: Davey Johnson, who was the last manager to lead the Orioles to a winning record, in 1997; Don Baylor, former Chicago Cubs and Colorado Rockies manager, who currently works for Mid-Atlantic Sports Network; and Rick [...]

A couple O things

From the New Yawk Post
When the Orioles settle their managerial situation after being spurned by Joe Girardi, they will become a more active seller in the trade market. They definitely will try to deal Steve Trachsel and underachieving Jay Gibbons, and might consider moving Miguel Tejada if he is healthy and can still bring a [...]

O’s win again

Without Miggi, the O’s won their 3 straight game and have improved to 3-1 under interim manager Dave Trembley. So far so good, but before Trembley is proclaimed the next Earl Weaver, let’s give him a month. I like what I see from him thus far, but right now he’s still in the honeymoon period. [...]

Closing the book on Girardi

This is my last post on Joe Girardi. Saw this in the Sun and its a good way to close the book on him.

Here’s some good quotes,
“I don’t [care] about Joe Girardi,” reliever Jamie Walker said. “I care about my teammates in here. That’s his choice. The last time I heard [about him], I think [...]

Tejada to the DL, Knott up

The other streak is over. Tejada is on the 15 day DL with a fractured wrist. This means he won’t be catching Cal anytime soon. Hats off to him though, 1,152 games day in and day out is a helluva accomplishment. Here’s the press release. Jon Knott has been called in his place, thank God [...]

It’s official: No Girardi

From the Sun:
“I was flattered that the Orioles called me,” Girardi said. “It’s a great city, a great organization. I have the utmost respect for [president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail]. As a coach and as a player, I always loved going there.”
“I am not going to get into [why he turned it down] a [...]
