Get this (bleeper) out!


Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun reports that many thought it was surprising that Orioles manager Dave Trembley left left-handed specialist pitcher Will Ohman in the game with two outs in the ninth inning with a man on and a right-handed hitter (Adrian Beltre) at the plate in a tie game.

With right-hander, Matt Albers ready in the bullpen, Trembley walked to the mound and instead of yanking Ohman he simply said, "Get this son of a b!@&h out." He then walked back to the dugout.

Ohman then did just that.

Not exactly very "touchy feely" but so what?

Why beat around the bush?

Tell him what you want.

It sounds like clear instructions to me.

It certainly eliminates any misunderstandings.

It worked didn't it?
