Trembley: Lineup changes
Given
that the Orioles have scored just 20 runs in their first seven games, the
lowest in the American League and the second lowest in baseball, it’s not a
stretch to say a lineup shakeup might be effective.
“Yeah,
I probably should do something,” manager Dave
Trembley said following Monday’s fourth straight loss. “You lose your leadoff hitter [in Brian Roberts]. That just isn’t the
greatest news in the world, when that happens. Then you’ve got probably eight
other guys trying to make up for his loss. Guys are human. Yeah, I may do
something, maybe just to show a different look. Show a different look
that might get us started. You definitely have to consider something like that.
“
“But
[Felix] Pie does a very nice job in
the leadoff role tonight. We are just not getting hits when we need them and
our scoring opportunities have been limited.”
Pie
went 2-for-3 with a leadoff homer and was the only Orioles hitter to post a
multi-hit inning.
