O's make change, Samuel will get turn!

The Baltimore Orioles in simple words are playing terrible in almost all aspects of the game and with that a manager change was only time coming. I first want to say thanks to Dave Trembley for trying to lead the team to victory and that it took a brave man to try to win with this club. But with that being said now its time for Juan Samuel to take over this ship that's sinking and try to bail the wins out so the club won't hit rock bottom.

The Orioles own the worse record in the Major Leagues with a 15-39 record. The have the third fewest runs scored with 180, 6th worse team average with .245, 2nd to worse in team doubles with 77 and 2nd to worse team on base percentage at .307. These are just a few stats to name that were doing terrible in. So with that being said is Trembley the only one to go? Will the Crow follow behind? Those questions will be asked but for now its back to baseball 101 for these birds with an aggressive and fire leading coach Juan Samuel at the helm!

The only thing that can really happen is we get better.

O's can't get it going against Blue Jays!

Dave Trembley has tried it all to get the team going including a lineup that had Miguel Tejada batting cleanup, Ty Wigginton in the third hole and called up Chris Tillman to start. The musical chairs still resulted in the same outcome, another loss in the L column. Tillman who threw 5 2/3 innings allowing two runs pitched good enough to win but with not enough run support followed by two more home-runs allowed by the bullpen it is hard to pick up the win! The Orioles scored on back to back hits off the bat of Julio Lugo and Nick Markakis in the 6th but that would be all. Give a lot of credit to Brett Cecil who threw 8 solid innings with 7 strike-outs before giving way to the closer.

The O's are riding a 4 game losing streak and are on verge of being swept by Toronto on Sunday. They will be looking to Jeremy Guthrie who has won 3 of his last 4 starts to end the streak. Ricky Romero will stand in the way.

O's fall to A's in finale, next up the Blue Jays!

The O's could not hold an early lead and fall to the A's in the final of a 3 game series. The O's were up 5-2 after 7 innings but after the first two batters reached base off of Brad Bergesen the skipper Dave Trembley would turn to the bullpen. The bullpen would not hold the lead as Mark Hendrickson would allow Bergesen's two runners to score plus 3 more to give the A's a 7-5 lead. The O's would fail to score in the final two innings and would lose another series!

The O's will head to Canada to take on AL East Rivals the Toronto Blue Jays tonight! Kevin Millwood will be looking for his first win of the season and will take on Shaun Marcum.

Hendrickson gets start, Hernandez scratched!

David Hernandez who has a 11 game losing streak will not get the chance to snap that today as he was scratched due to a sore shoulder that he has complained about since his last outing. The O's will turn to spot starter/reliever Mark Hendrickson to pick up the win for a series win against the Indians today.

Hendrickson will throw against Jake Westbrook who is rebounding from Tommy John surgery that kept him out of action all of last season.

Simon, Meredith get rocked, O's fall!

Brian Matusz came out and threw his best outing of the season and showed the O's fan what he has. The only thing is he only pitched 7 innings and that meant the bullpen would have to come in and try and wrap it up for him. The problem is the O's bullpen has had trouble closing out games this season and that was also the case Saturday.  The O's lead 2-0 both runs coming on solo home-runs off the bat of Ty Wigginton going in to the 9th. That coming after the O's used 3 pitchers to get through a scoreless 8th inning. The O's turned to Alfredo Simon to close it out but that wasn't the case as he allowed 4 earned runs. Trembley called for Meredith and the same result 4 earned runs and that 2-0 lead was squashed. The O's wouldn't get any in the 9th and fell to the Indians 8-2. Another solid start ruined by a terrible bullpen outing.

O's will now look to win the series sunday afternoon as Mark Hendrickson will pitch against Jake Westbrook.
