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.

i wish we would play more small ball. my biggest knock on trembley, besides his horrible timing of when to leave a starting pitcher in vs going to the bullpen, is that he doesnt try and generate runs.

last season, Os would be down by a run or two, man on 1st, 1 out. call a freakin hit or run or something to move that man up to scoring position. instead, we dont do anything and our guy would hit into a double play.

trembley did try a hit and run a few games ago with tejada at the plate and guys on 1st and 2nd. the result? sharp hit to 3rd baseman who steps on 3rd forforce out then throws to 2nd for a double play.

the Os need to play small ball and stop trying to play powerball like the sox and yanks.
