It looks like, after another mediocre start and some questionable calls, that Sam Perlozzo may be on the chopping block soon. While the Orioles haven’t been horrible and they had a decent start in April, things have fallen off and at 20-23, they find themselves 9 1/2 games back of Boston. Even being in second place doesn’t mean much and some of those losses, like last Sundays against Boston, are Perlozzo’s fault.
Which brings up the question of what happens to Leo Mazzone. Does he walk too because of his tight relationship with Sam Perlozzo, or do you give him the manager job. The Orioles are middle of the pack in ERA but that’s better then year’s past when they’ve been closer to the bottom. Of course the pitching staff is also dead last in walks allowed too. So maybe he never got his magic done in Baltimore and it’s time to cut the losses.
I’m of the opinion that they should give Davey Johnson the job again. He’s more sabermetrically inclined and he’s gotten done in the past.
