Gameday Thread: Royals at O's, 04/12

Game Time: 7:05 | TV: MASN, RTN (KC) | Radio: WHFS

Whenever I need to know anything about the Royals, I go to SBN's Royals Review, which is just a brilliant blog. Like me, the esteemed author of RR.com enjoys the finer things in life, like writing feature articles about Paul Bako.

The O's are batting a hefty .213 this season, second-worst in the majors. Here's some knowledge-dropping: That's got to improve. Brian Roberts has been stomach-turning in the leadoff spot outside of drawing some walks, hitting .139 through the first nine games. He torches Meche for his career (.522, 4 2B, HR, 4 RBI). Tejada has been no prize himself, since it's tough to win when your team's best player is hitting .250 with one extra-base hit. In fact, this team is pretty awful at the plate. The amazing thing is the pitching has mostly been fine and we still suck. How do you like them apples?

Last year, the O's played the Royals in May at Camden Yards and swept the chumps, but that was a Royals team that started Runelvys Hernandez (Red Sox), Mark Redman (Braves) and Denny Bautista (Rockies), so clearly this is a much different outfit. In fact, only Redman is even in the major leagues right now.

I mean, it's easy to make fun of the Royals for overpaying for Gil Meche, but someone had to, and my God, when you've had the disastrous pitching they've had, Gil Meche looks like freaking Roger Clemens. Not that we have any room to talk, necessarily. At least these dudes got over .500 once in the last mother humping decade.

Sometimes I lie awake at night and I think of games like these. Steve Trachsel pitting his wiles against Gil Meche, who may someday be exactly like Steve Trachsel, trying desperately to hang on at age 36. Or Friday's Bedard/Duckworth duel, or Sunday's Greinke/somebody affair. I think about watching 23-year old Alex Gordon flail away with a 2-for-26 start to his big league career, one home run, no walks, and 10 strikeouts. I think, "Wow, this guy was supposed to be so awesome." And then I remember Hank Blalock in 2002 and how awful he was, just up too soon and totally overmatched. And then I think, "Well, gosh, Blalock turned it around." But then I remember that Blalock had two pretty good seasons and now kinda stinks, and that he was definitely not The Next George Brett.

It brings me back to Alex Gordon, because like George Brett, he's a Royal. Is Gordon simply The Next Hank Blalock? Maybe. I feel for the super prospects and the fans who need them to be everything they're supposed to be. What an incredible burden, to have all two or three thousand remaining diehard Royals fans praying that you save their team. I find it hard to identify, as the Orioles haven't had a super prospect in a very, very long time.

I love when we play the Royals. It feels so good to match up with a team that I feel like I understand.

"Lopez would go on to be the Orioles winningest pitcher (60-58) during his five years here."

Are we really THAT bad?  By winningest I hope he means just total wins and not winning pct.  But even that... 12 wins per season... are we really THAT bad?

Is it just me or...
Did anyone else notice that our man Sammy brought in Birkins, primarily a lefty specialist to face 6 consecutive right handed hitters in the 12th?

I know the bullpen was toast, but geez, couldn't he have used Guthrie and just brought up Olsen to start the game if Wright couldn't go and Penn's forearm was troubling him?

Can't we focus on winning the one we're playing?

Subject is too long (max is 50 characters).
"Can't we focus on winning the one we're playing?"

No.  That's why we have to run Gibbons and Huff and Gomez whoever else out there to 1B until Tex comes available.  Don't you know that this team is always a few steps ahead of the rest of the league.  We playing to win the 2011 World Series this year.  Way to go FO!!!

Games
Does anyone remember these two games from the first half of 2005?
The final game of a four game series with Boston at Fenway sometime in May. The Orioles were leading in the ninth, ready to take 3 of 4 from Boston and Ortiz hits a walk-off off of Bj Ryan

Also on the 4th of July at Yankee Stadium Bruce Chen had a horrible start and the Orioles were down big from the beginning. We battled back to take the lead, only to have Steve Kline blow the lead for us.

Maybe the fall didnt happen until weeks after these games, but they are two I feel could have provided big emotional boosts and maybe have prevented the dreadful end to that season.

I'm confident the O's v Rays series will capture the collective imagination of baseball-loving Americans all across this great nation of ours! The subplots are too good to pass up (e.g wiley veteran Aubrey Huff faces down his old team).  And having already blown his wad all over Dice K, I'm thinking Peter Gammons is gonna love this sh*t.

I just think he's the latest
of a long line of hitters who came to the O's AFTER they were shown to be washed up. Sosa, etc. And that whole "Cowboy Up!" b.s. from 2004 was a joke. You're a paid profesional - act like it,

However I like character guys sometimes. It'd be boring if everyone acted like Cal Ripken.

The line we used in college always was...
"Pack yer shit, you're cut."

Back story: Last weekend of '89. Frank Robinson's manager. Makes some totally stupid move as far as who to pitch to and who to walk in teh Saturday game (#161) and hands the division to Toronto.

Somewhere in the game, some O's player didn't deliver a hit when needed, and the cry of "Pack yer shit, you're cut!" was born. And then F-Rob makes his move and hands the game to TOR and the season was over.

If we're going to continue to have so many comments (which is totally rad, by the way, even if we are just tearing our hair out in agony), maybe we could start a new game post on which to comment?

I've seen it done on Athletics Nation, so I know it's subcommittee approved.
