Dave Trembley meets with the media after the O's 5-1 loss to Seattle
Lou Montanez didn't get off the bench tonight despite the Mariners starting left-hander Cliff Lee. Reimold didn't do anything to ease concerns over his play this season.
They're both on extremely shaky ground as the Orioles contemplate making a roster move, one that could come within the next day or two.
Trembley also talked about David Hernandez and how the right-hander got away from his fastball after serving up Ryan Langerhans' home run in the fifth inning.
"I really thought David was on his way to pitching one of his better games," Trembley said. "First four innings, his fastball was outstanding. He was pitching down, and then as soon as the guy hit the home run, he went to his breaking ball and changeup and they added on some runs.
"I know Kranny will talk to him about it. They'll review the game tomorrow. He sure started off dominating with his fastball. He was throwing the fastball by people. Then the home run to Langerhans seemed to change his approach."
Doesn't the catcher shoulder much of that responsibility, since he's calling the game? I don't recall seeing Hernandez shaking him off.
Down on the farm, Triple-A Norfolk's Corey Patterson went 1-for-5 with a double. Josh Bell and Brandon Snyder each had a double and RBI.
Kam Mickolio struck out two in a scoreless inning, lowering his ERA to 7.04. He threw 11 of 13 pitches for strikes.
Double-A Bowie's Chorye Spoone allowed four runs (two earned) and five hits in five innings against Richmond, walking three, striking out four and throwing a wild pitch.
