Gameday Thread: O's (14-11) @ White Sox (14-10)

Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox, Apr 28, 2008 2:05 PM EDT


T6odjquu_medium Uy7gfjxn_medium

  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA BB K W-L
Daniel Cabrera - RH 5 30.2 4.40 1.34 .229 14 19 2-0
Javier Vazquez - RH 5 30.2 4.40 1.37 .268 9 30 3-2

Game time is 2:05 on MASN. I'm really looking forward to this series ending, since I've been able to see one game in my apartment and the other ones I've had to go watch at bars, which I generally hate doing. I have managed to find a couple other O's fans around here, but they're not the sharpest bulbs in the crayon drawer, let's say that.

If Cabrera keeps up his recent success, Z is going to moidalize me in the Cabrera Bowl. And I'm cool with that. I am still skeptical, but he's just been a totally different guy the last couple of outings.

There's also this nugget to ponder: Cabrera stinks at Camden Yards, with a 6.75 ERA, 1.75 WHIP, and 11-to-10 BB-to-K ratio. On the road, he's 1.84/0.89 and 3-to-9.

Cabrera and Vazquez are having eerily similar seasons so far, with Vazquez walking less and striking out more and giving up more hits, and Cabrera doing the opposite of that, all leading to identical innings pitched in identical starts and identical ERAs with a 0.03 difference in WHIP.

Cabrera

I’m trying to decide between:

A) Cabrera will implode this start, crushing Orioles fans’ dreams yet again.

B) Cabrera will pitch quite well today and for several more starts, making the inevitable implosion all the more painful.

I’m leaning towards B.

by dkdc on Apr 28, 2008 12:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Cabrera will impolde this start

Why? Because I’m starting him on my fantasy team.

by Baltimo on Apr 28, 2008 3:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

I can't stand Hunter

but I enjoy Buck. I think a lot of that might be from listening to him on XM radio, where I find him quite knowledgeable. Maybe broadcasting just isn’t his bag. Doesn’t he also do the TBS Sunday game? I haven’t heard him on there yet.

by Stacey on Apr 28, 2008 3:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

No I agree I like Buck too

He used to manage and was a catcher, he just has a ton of experience around baseball. I find Hunter O.K. for the first half of the summer, but somehow he is still optimistic early September which becomes fairly annoying as the few of us that are left don’t have a thread of optimism left anyways.

by Baltimo on Apr 28, 2008 3:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Buck being a manager and a catcher doesn’t make him less of a goober. Joe Morgan is the greatest second baseman to ever play the game, in my estimation, but he’s King Goober.

To entertain you during this rain delay...

...here’s a story about our favorite ex-Yankee stud and complete family values guy, Roger Rocket. The man was shagging a 15 year old girl!

NEW YORK — Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and the pitcher was a Boston Red Sox ace, the Daily News reported.

Clemens’ lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed a long-term relationship but told the newspaper it was not sexual.

“He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her,” Hardin said. “He’s considered her a close family friend. ... He has never had a sexual relationship with her.”

McCready’s lawyer, Lee Ofman, said he did not have any comment on the Daily News story.

Clemens was 28 and a married father of two when he first met McCready, the newspaper reported.

i would think this one is in my column

when he needed to, Danny was able to bear down and get DPs and whatnot to help him out. The ump’s strike zone was small (see top of thread) and it was raining the entire game.

My boy Danny delivered a 2-1 game to the bullpen in the middle of the sixth on a night when he did not have his best stuff. This is exactly the game that he lost last year but is winning this year.

No date on resumption

Aww

I really wanted to watch now.

I just checked in

Crazy things I just learned:

-The game is still going even though it had a 2:00 something scheduled start.

-Looking at Cabs’ hits and runs you’d think his K:BB ratio would be reversed.

-Sherrill blew the save pitching against a righty. (okay, not so crazy)

-In the true outcomes department, Jim Thome had 6 PAs, including 3 BBs and 2 Ks

-Diamond Dave must have had some fancy managing pinch hitting Payton for Quiroz and then Razor for Luis.

When will we finish this one?

No date announced yet

since the O’s are not supposed to go back to CWS this season. Although the O’s do play the Cubs in Chicago, iirc. So the league might really screw them over and make them do some half-assed 12:00 start to resume the game on a day of a 7:05 start against the Cubs rather than make them make it up before a game when CWS comes to Baltimore.

I will bet on Monday, June 23, if they choose to do it at Chicago

1. Both teams are off that day.
2. The White Sox will still be in Chicago following a series with the Cubs.
3. The Orioles play in Milwaukee before that and are staying in Chicago to play the Cubs the 24th-26th.
4. The White Sox that day/night leave for Los Angeles to play the Dodgers on the 24th.

This whole thing is really screwy. All things considered, they might be screwing with travel arrangements for one inning of baseball, you know? Plus getting people in the park for what could amount to one inning of baseball.

Or they could just do it in Baltimore in August since both teams are probably well out of the playoff race by then and even if not who really gives a shit. Let the White Sox keep the last at-bat and play ball.

The whole thing is very stupid. The game should’ve been called off well before it was, and by that point, you have to damn the torpedoes and let them finish, and hope no one gets hurt.

Damn

I knew that wasn’t the first or second time the O’s have come back against Jenks. Was just looking it up, we’ve owned him, 2 losses, 10.90 era, .419 average as a team (higher now), 8 save opportunties against the O’s, 4 blown saves, everybody else but the Indians he’s been pretty automatic.
dammit, we should have won the game then.
