Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles, Apr 29, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Jason Hammel - RH | 4 | 25.0 | 4.32 | 1.24 | .240 | 8 | 15 | 2-1 |
 |
Garrett Olson - LH (2007 Stats) | 7 | 32.1 | 7.79 | 2.16 | .326 | 28 | 28 | 1-3 |
THE BATTLE FOR FIRST PLACE BEGINS! 7:05 on MASN2. BE THERE.
Garrett Olson is up from Norfolk to make today's start with Adam Loewen on the DL, and I'm pretty OK with that. I don't want Loewen to be on the DL, but I will say that I think Olson at this point is probably a better pitcher. Which doesn't mean he'll be any good. He was rocked pretty hard last season when he got called up, but his strikeout rate was encouraging if nothing else. And really, there was nothing else.
Olson was dominating at Norfolk (1.85/1.36, 25 K in five starts), so hopefully he'll just come in and throw strikes and not be overwhelmed by what is sure to be a rollicking crowd at the Yard tonight. This three-game series with Tampa Bay is the last time the O's will play at home until May 13.
Hammel is a big guy (6'6", 220) and went to Treasure Valley Community College, and the fine numbers he's putting up this season are the first time he's done so in the majors. He was socked around much like Olson was last season in both 2006 (7.77/1.86) and 2007 (6.14/1.65). He's always done well at Triple-A, but so have a lot of guys. He's not a big strikeout pitcher despite his size and decent stuff.
Note below that the D-Rays are pretty strong 3-through-8 tonight. Hinske has raked when he's been in this year, and they're hitting him eighth while Iwamura and Crawford fail to get on for Upton, Pena, Longoria and lefty-killer Gomes.
| Rays | AB | AVG | OBP | HR | RBI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Akinori Iwamura - 2B | 98 | .214 | .291 | 1 | 5 |
| 2 | Carl Crawford - LF | 110 | .300 | .310 | 2 | 13 |
| 3 | BJ Upton - CF | 90 | .289 | .383 | 2 | 18 |
| 4 | Carlos Pena - 1B | 80 | .200 | .340 | 6 | 13 |
| 5 | Evan Longoria - 3B | 48 | .271 | .379 | 3 | 10 |
| 6 | Jonny Gomes - DH | 49 | .265 | .373 | 2 | 8 |
| 7 | Dioner Navarro - C | 27 | .370 | .414 | 0 | 4 |
| 8 | Eric Hinske - RF | 68 | .294 | .377 | 5 | 13 |
| 9 | Jason Bartlett - SS | 82 | .207 | .244 | 0 | 6 |
| Orioles | AB | AVG | OBP | HR | RBI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brian Roberts - 2B | 101 | .267 | .348 | 3 | 12 |
| 2 | Melvin Mora - 3B | 102 | .245 | .294 | 3 | 12 |
| 3 | Nick Markakis - RF | 89 | .292 | .438 | 4 | 10 |
| 4 | Kevin Millar - 1B | 96 | .219 | .283 | 4 | 11 |
| 5 | Aubrey Huff - DH | 90 | .244 | .327 | 4 | 17 |
| 6 | Luke Scott - LF | 81 | .309 | .391 | 1 | 8 |
| 7 | Adam Jones - CF | 89 | .258 | .302 | 1 | 8 |

The toughest division in baseball
Is on the line. These games have big implications for September too.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

one thing to be said...
maybe olson can put it together? johnson putting together the slightest semblance of a decent outing was a revelation in comparison to what he had shown previously, but his string of solid performances has been a nice story thus far.

Whatever, I bet you’re not nearly as nervous as Olson.

Hey all
Good to see Olson back up and pitching…seems like he coulda been in the rotation to start the year. Hopefully this signals the end of Steve Trachsel?

No, and they're doing a bone scan, too
Nothing released until he sees Dr. James Andrews, who did the surgery.
This ain’t gonna be good news, people, unless you don’t want to see Adam pitch for the O’s again.

Roch Says
Adam Loewen is undergoing a bone scan, so the Orioles don’t have any updates on his condition. They’ll gather the results of the bone scan, CT scan and MRI and consult with Dr. James Andrews, who performed the surgery on Loewen.We do know this much: Loewen won’t be ready after his 15 days are up.
He’ll be gone for a while, if not the season.

We still need a permanent replacement for Loewen, who will be more than 15 days.

2) Danny Cabs
3) Trax
4) Burres
5) Olson?

Don't see why Olson'd get
sent back down. Seems like he probably got the boost he needed pitching well at AAA, so the O’s should plug him in and see what they’ve got.
Trax, hopefully for y’all, will hurt himself and be replaced by…Liz? Maybe?

Howell was one of the seemingly endless failed Royals pitching prospects under the Baird administration. He went to Tampa for Joey Gathright. Always had goo minor league numbers, but not enough of a fastball to set up his very good curve.

no matter how good a teacher is at a public school (and I’m sure you’re great), there are always kids who are there so they can drop out or don’t really care about anything but scraping by so they’ll have a high school diploma. Then, you have the fact that public school social…um…settings really aren’t good for young people from I can see. I don’t mean the classes themselves, I mean the whole let’s-start-boozing-in-middle-so-we-can-be-popular-in-high-school dynamic. Maybe that’s not it at the school you teach, but at my school there were some smart kids who screwed up (to various degrees) because they would rather get sucked into acting like a sheep than become a well-rounded person…high school is a tough time for people who don’t have a good idea of who they are, and the thing is most of them don’t.

One Bourbon
is probably my favorite.
“Now by this time I’m plenty high,
you know when your mouth a-getting dry you’re plenty high
Looked down the bar I say to my bartender
I said “Look man, come down here”, he got down there
So what you want this time?
I said “Look man, a-what time is it?”
He said “The clock on the wall say three o’clock
Last call for alcohol, so what you need?”
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No I ain’t seen my baby since a nigh’ and a week,
gotta get drunk man till I can’t even speak
Gonna get high man listen to me,
one drink ain’t enough Jack you better make it three
I wanna get drunk I’m gonna make it real clear,
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer”

I also saw George Jones (talk about some serious drinking songs…mainly because they’re all based on his real life) last year. Not too bad, but the voice is going. Hell, I can’t believe he’s still alive.

Not sure...
...the same way I’m not sure about how he went head on into a bridge abutment. All those guys were crazy. Waylon used to have a $1500/day cocaine + amphetamine addiction back in the day when $1500 was a shitload of money.
I’m also convinced that Willie has somehow cured/petrified his organs and may never die (kinda like Keith Richards).

but “Outlaw” was an awesome song to come out of his NYC drug raid/recording session. James Hetfield of Metallica did a version.
Ever chedcked out “I’ve Always Been Crazy”? Tribute compilation with a bunch of groups doing Waylon songs. Some are quite good, including John Mellancamp.

That song is great.
Lonesome On’ry and Mean is my favorite.
I saw Travis Tritt a couple years back – he makes a point to play a couple Waylon songs in most of his live shows – and he played I’ve Always Been Crazy. He actually did a duet with Waylon on this song on one of Waylon’s last live albums “Never Say Die”...or as my friend refers to it “Still Aint Dead Yet”. Tritt is one of the few current people that still have some ties to the old guys. Hank Jr. is going a little bit crazy with all this Kid Rock/Uncle Cracker/etc. bullshit. His live shows are a grease fire anymore.

and give him a WWF New Challengers era nickname (Razor Ramon, Adam Bomb, etc.)
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Then we could call him Furious George.

y'know
Those walk totals (like Cabrera’s last night) are exactly the thing that gets bitched about when they start biting the pitcher in the balls. I mean yeah he got away with it tonight, but most times you don’t.

That's true but
the strike zone was pretty tight tonight, and I thought Olson was very close on most of them. Hopefully with a more liberal strike zone it’s not much of a problem.

What the hell is Dave Johnson talking about on the radio
“Blah blah Olsen got the win and he deserves it but he’s the same pitcher, look at those five walks, I don’t see anything different blah blah”
Why so angry, dude.

Let's see.
Last year he nibbled his way to walks and the inevitable implosion (getting hit hard when he had to throw the ball over). At least he got out of jams yesterday. I don’t know if he’s really making strides, but that’s what we have to root for. I’d rather find out than watch Trax pitch.

p.s. Way OT: I would like to change my vote on SC vs. ZK re DC's last start:
I thought the matter should be adjudicated by a famously impartial judge: Sid. But since then I have read the testimony of an even more impartial judge—so let’s leave the decision to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the self-designated loon who apparently gets to choose our president. With luck he will also decide the tricky Russia-Georgia-Abkhazia thing and make the first key economic decisions for incoming President Medvedev.
Aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh…..
On the bright side, it’s Cy Burres again tonight! Who could’ve imagined that the phrases “bright side” and “Cy Burres” would ever appear in the same sentence?
Go O’s!
