Plus it should be known that the Orioles dont have a true power hitter nor are they trying to generate runs by stealing bases and playing small ball.
Fair points. But Adam Jones is struggling big time, so is Markakis. Jones CANNOT lay off the low and away pitch, and is just getting used. He could be a power hitter. He certainly has 30-35 HR potential. Getting utility guys like Pie to hit well is great and all, but we need our stars to shine if we want to go anywhere. Trembley is awful though.

The guys apparently had a players only meeting before the game last night. Millwood called for it. Glad to see that worked.
