Baltimore Sun: Trembley gets his big chance

The clubhouse seems a bit looser these days, even with the Orioles still mired in last place. And especially after Saturday’s loss, when Trembley broke through the silence by insisting that the players turn on the television, get something to eat and talk among themselves like grown men.

“When I was done, a couple guys stood up and said, ‘Hey, Dave, thanks,’ “ Trembley said. “I feel like I’ve got them. I feel like they trust me.”

The gesture caught most players by surprise.

“That’s something I have never had here before,” outfielder/designated hitter Jay Gibbons said. “If you lose, you sit at your locker. It’s like, you don’t deserve music. But it shouldn’t be like that. There are too many games to ride the highs and lows. Everyone out there is trying hard. And that’s refreshing. He’s just so positive. It’s hard to be down, even after a loss.”

Will MacPhail give him a real chance to win the job?
