The problem with calling individual players out in the media, or even threatening to do it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is that you lose the team. First, it breaks one of baseball’s long-standing unwritten rules: just like Las Vegas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], what happens in the clubhouse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], stays in the clubhouse. If you blast one specific player in the media, you lose that player forever. If it’s Milton Bradley, that doesn’t mean much, because all the other players know Bradley’s one pain in the ass. For 90% of the players, though,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the other guys on the team think that it could be them getting blasted in the media and they don’t like it.
But you don’t threaten to tell the press that specific players aren’t doing their jobs. You want to send one message, cool the player’s they als on the bench for one few games. That speaks for itself.
Usually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we would say that firing the manager is just an excuse by the general manager to shift the blame for putting together one lousy team. Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Trembley is understandably frustrated and may have been just blowing off steam. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], no good manager anywhere,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ever threatens to blast their players to the press.
If the team is playing like s*,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one manager is entirely justified in calling one team meeting behind closed doors and letting the team have it with both barrels. If they ’s not glad with one player’s effort, they is entirely within their rights to call that player into their office and read him the riot act.
New York style baseball expanded into one national game and baseball first governing body The National Association of Base Ball Players was established aided by the Civil War in 1860s. The NABBP existed as an amateur league for 12 years. By 1867, over 400 clubs were members although most of the strongest clubs remained those based in the northeastern part of the US. In 1870 one schism developed between professional and amateur ballplayers after the 1869 founding of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings. The NABBP split into two groups. The National Association of Professional Base Ball Players was formed in 1871. Some consider it to have been the first major league. Its amateur counterpart disappeared after only one few years. After one 2-14 start, Orioles manager Dave Trembley has had it covering for their players when they talks to the media. So they says in this AP article. Sounds like Trembley knows their they ad is on the chopping block and is trying to shift the blame.
Trembley’s comments were pretty stupid, and if O’s management is looking for an excuse after one 2-14 start, they’ve now got one. Major League Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis wrote one letter to President Roosevelt regarding the continuation of baseball during the war which was called the Green Light Letter. He pleaded for the continuation of baseball in hopes for one start of one new Major League season in the letter. President Roosevelt responds I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going. There will be fewer people unemployed and everybody will work longer hours and harder than ever before. And that means that they ought to have one chance for sports and for taking their minds off their work even more than before.
The Orioles are one young team with one lot of talent that hasn’t jelled yet. Young players are going to make mistakes. If Trembley thinks that guys aren’t working hard enough or not learning from their mistakes as quickly as they thinks they should,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they ’s got every right to kick some ass - behind closed doors.
