Around SBN: Terry Collins, David Wright, And The Mets/Brewers Kerfuffle

Gameday Thread: O's at Devil Rays, 04/16

206480_10150226708710923_747385922_9037192_4017321_n_tiny by Scott Christ on in Gamethreads

Game Time: 7:10 | TV: MASN2, WXPX (TB) | Radio: WHFS
Adam Loewen, LH James Shields, RH (1-0, 1.80) (1-0, 4.61) 2B B Roberts DH R Baldelli 3B M Mora SS B Zobrist RF N Markakis LF C Crawford SS M Tejada 1B T Wigginton 1B A Huff RF D Young LF J Gibbons C D Navarro DH K Millar CF E Dukes CF F Bynum 3B B Harris C P Bako 2B B Upton

The O's smoked the Rays last year, winning 13 of their 19 meetings. James Shields pitched 12 innings in two starts (one of them his major league debut) against the Birds with a 5.25 ERA, getting two no-decisions.

I think I like Shields, really. He's 25 and was drafted in the 16th round of the 2000 draft. He didn't embarrass himself at all in 21 starts last year, and his K numbers this season are really good. Of the 11 hits he's given up, three have been homers. But overall batters are hitting just .212 against him.

Loewen has bothered me for his first two starts. They haven't been bad, but five innings is a problem.

But I don't want to complain about the starting pitchers. Outside of Boston, we have the best starting rotation in the AL East. Go figure?

Current New York Yankees rotation: Andy Pettitte, Kei Igawa, Darrell Rasner, Sean Henn? $200 million, folks. Suck it, New York.

I really hate Tropicana Field. The only thing I like is the catwalk, when they hit dongs off the catwalk, off the catwalk, yeah, when they hit big dongs off the catwalk.

D Rays have been hitting
They are young and have been hitting. If they had more pitching they would be a fun team to root for (esp. if they were in a different division). I wouldn't be taking them too lightly. A few numbers from this young season.

team   AVG  OBP  SLG  ERA   WHIP
D'Rays 279  337  478  6.20  1.54
O's    248  327  383  3.73  1.33

They do throw two lefties this series. That's always a concern for the O's. It's Trachsel-Fossum on Tues., and while Fossum is no great shakes, he does throw the ball with his left hand. Bedard-Kazmir follow on Wed. Who feels confident going into that game?

I sure hope Loewen has it all together today and the bats show up. The O's need to take these first two.

at least they don't have that wacky hill ....
I kinda like the hill with the flag pole. I think every ball park should have some sort of obsticle or something.

by BENNYBIRDMAN on Apr 16, 2007 10:15 AM EDT up reply actions  

WAckiness
This thing about wacky field dimensions is that the older fields that have them do so because that's the way the land was.

Fenway is built on a rectangluar city block. So they have no left field and 4 miles of right field.

If a stadium back in the day had a hill in the outfield, it's because the ground they built the stadium on had a hill there when they built the place.

You can't set out to design quirks like that and have them be meaningful or cool. When you set out to create a 'quirk' it's no longer a quirk. It's a well thought out design. And then it's not cool anymore.

Right, the Warehouse was there and they built around it. They didn't build the warehouse just to look pretty. It was already there.

I was just talking about how much I miss liking Bobby Abreu.  ...it's a sad day.  He used to be one of my favorite players, and now...well...I have to skip you in my fantasy draft because you're playing for "the enemy".

Not only that, but it's hard not to like Matsui...and Cabrera, to a lesser extent.  OH GOD!  I'M SO CONFLICTED!

Career 117 OPS+
doesn't sound streaky to me. Compared to Jay Payton's 98, Millar has to be in the lineup everyday.

Plus the only streak I found with Millar running really bad last season was from July 29-August 9 where he went 7 games without a hit in a 0 for 20 slump. Other than that there wasn't more than a 3 game period where Millar went 0-fer.

I'm on the Millar bandwagon now! :-)

by the doppleganger on Apr 16, 2007 7:38 PM EDT reply actions  

please
Freddie Bynum's entire major league career is slack cut from an unimpressive minor league career. Why cut him slack? He's not good. He's never been good. He shouldn't be on this team, and he certainly should not be starting in center field. A bad player is a bad player no matter how few times they've seen a pitcher. He sucks. He's bad. He's always been bad. I'm tired of having bad players. A guy with a career .709 OPS in the minors is not going to become a good big league player.

Ground rule
Actually, the Rays announcers finally figured out that the call was right. When it hits that ring, what matters is where the ball lands. Since it landed in foul territory, it's foul.

"Mess with me, you're messing with the whole trailer park." - Jamie Walker

Kind of...
My interpretation of what the announcers said is that if it hits the first ring, the ball is fair if it lands fair and foul if it lands foul. But the ball is dead once it hits the ground. AND...if a player catches it before it hits the ground, it's an out. Yeah, that's a pretty clear rule.

re:
I thought it was supposed to be where it hits the thing, and it was fair. That thing has a foul pole and it hit inside of it.

Foul pole/flag thing
The announcers claim that the flag is there because if the ball hits and it STAYS up there, then the flag tells you if it's fair or foul.

when you give up a 2 run homer to freddie bynum...

snow
I live in upsate NY - we're at 14 inches of snow and  it's still coming down pretty bad.

I'm jealous of the Tampa Bay weather...at least until it gets to 300 degrees in August.

White Mtns are the best

I have switched over to the HFS radio feed and the Salvo Auto Parts ad just made this whole night worthwhile.
