PrintSeattle Mariners at Baltimore Orioles, Apr 7, 2008 3:05 PM EDT
Carlos Silva, RH (1-0, 1.29/0.86) v. Daniel Cabrera, RH (0-0, 13.50/2.75)
Game time is 3:05 on MASN2. Has anyone heard why this was moved to 3:05, anyway? I know it's tote bags for old fogies day, but still.
That spring jersey is so slimming on Silva.
I'm going to be sad to see Seattle's inept lineup and woeful bullpen leave town, but I'm also chalking today up to a loss in my head because Cabrera's going to be starting. I know, I know. "One start." Try four years. I'm not saying I'm not going to be watching the game and rooting, rooting, rooting for the home team, but this guy's inconsistency is old hat for me. Also, the enthusiasm that maybe he'll turn it around any day now.
When Silva was in Minnesota, he matched up a few times with Cabrera, and I always like to note just how opposite of a style matchup you're seeing. Cabrera lives and dies on strikeouts, power pitching and hopefully not walking everyone. Silva lives and dies on balls not carrying out of the park, changing speeds, and hopefully not walking anyone, because he gets hit like crazy. When Silva is really, really on, as he was in 2005, he's very good. He walked nine in 188 1/3 that season. Cabrera might walk nine today. Since then his groundball rate has dropped some, he's walking more, and he's not quite as good as he was then. But he was pretty good last year after a hideous 2006, when fly balls did carry out of the park with great frequency.

Hell Yeah!
On another note:
Will the O's ever be three games above .500 again this season? Or four, if we win today against the unimpressive M's. My vote: no.
Millar said we'd win the WS.
Who am I to say he's wrong.

if ever there was a night...
to predict DanCab to have success, would tonight be it?
--it's cold, making it tough to face a power pitcher
--the M's are a relatively free-swingin' bunch
--Carlos Silva stinks
--they're riding the 4 game "no Orioles Magic" streak
not that i AM prediciting DanCab to succeed. just that it seems like the timimg would be right if someone were to make that unenvyable leap.
THIS is Birdland?!?

Greta, you have no faith.
Remember that time I said Brandon Fahey was gonna do something awesome? And he did? Or that time I called the Jay Gibbons home run? That one time? Or, you know, yesterday.
I'm just sayin' stranger things have happened.

Cabrera v. SexTon is a great battle.
Cabrera wins, telling you how cooked SexTon is as a player.
well, i was away a bit there
but sounds like my boy is going to be a piñata today.
hey, still only 1 BB so far, right?
So I guess this begs the question...
...do y'all think D-Cab lasts the whole season in the rotation?
no
Trembley's thoughts on Cabrera late last year told me enough. I don't think he has a lot of faith in him or wants to keep him on a long leash. This is my favorite thing about Diamond Dave.
cabs after 1
2H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 2SO, 2HR, 14.40ERA.
awesome. ugh.
He has pretty bad career numbers vs. Seattle, yes?
Or am I making that up?

carlos silva: 9pitches
danny cabs: THIRTY TWO!!!
THIS is birdland.
sure, it matters for anybody
We don't have great hitting either. But Roberts, Nicky Mark, and Mora verses Hernandez, Jones, and Luis Luis???
is anyone else getting weird random music
in the background of their mlb audio??

There are 2 stations coming through on my mlb feed.
This is trippy. And annoying.

Now they are talking about the Twins
"Baltimore? That's like being hit in the head with a crowbar once a day."
And now my audio is completely gone

Cabrera
1st: 32 pitches
2nd: 10 pitches
3rd: 11 pitches
Can I introduce the idea of giving this guy a couple Four Horsemen shots before he takes the mound in the first inning?
Silva's thrown 22 pitches
Not good if we want to feast on the Mariners bullpen at the end of this game...
"Baltimore? That's like being hit in the head with a crowbar once a day."

Guys, I have a problem
I'm trying to hate Luis! Why does he get the hits? I like that he gets the hits, but I'm supposed to hate him. I'm conflicted!!
Back to reality..
Palmer: "Imagine where the Orioles would be right now without Roberts"
I mean, I like this little winning as much as the next guy, but come on.
BTW MORA!

after the heat King Felix was throwing yesterday
it just took them sometime to get adjusted.
"Daddy, is Hevan like BIRDLAND?"
"No son, Hevan is BIRDLAND."
I wonder how much M's fans are loving that Bedard trade right now....
....after all, wasn't the Wilkerson signing what made Adam Jones expendable?
you can see on their site
that they absolutely hated it.
They felt that they weren't even a win now team, and that losing Jones and Sherril basically meant that even Bedard couldn't bring them to the playoffs.
Bedard sitting out yesterday....
... with a sore ass couldn't have helped matters.
"Baltimore? That's like being hit in the head with a crowbar once a day."
I never actually thought
the deal was unfair.
I was a little disappointed we didn't get one of their top prospect pitchers as well as AJ.
Seemed like a fair deal to me too
Bedard's just fragile is all. He'll come around.
"Baltimore? That's like being hit in the head with a crowbar once a day."
You're kidding, right?
BRAD freakin' WILKERSONJ made A.J. expendable?
BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Who is still in the game. I don't know why. Albers could get in there.
c'mon, man...
he may not be able to throw strikes, get outs or field, but danny cabs is an innings eater!
I think Bradford and Walker are appreciative

"I tell ya, I can't wait to see Brian Burres pitch."
His boner for Burres knows no bounds.
Yeah, Jim. You're the only one.
I can wait just fine, thanks.

eh
There are a lot of organizations where this guy wouldn't be in the major leagues. The fact that he's in the Baltimore rotation says plenty about where we've been.
Burres is shit.
He'll always be shit. Maybe he'd be useful bullpen shit, but he is not an MLB starter.

So I fire up my MLB.com at 12:45 am and Palmer sez
Terry Crowley makes you a better hitter. How 'bout Sam Perlozzo makes you a better reliever? How about Custer needed more Indians? Er, Native Americans. But you get my drift. Makes you wanna turn it off. But the suspense is killing me.

The Boooooo's
ain't about how he plays, bud (not yet at least). It's about him saying some shit that was out of line and unacceptable about the City. Now if you have no pride in Baltimore that's fine - that's on you. But don't rag on people that do.
i have pride in the city.. but sorry that i'm not sensitive like a daffodil
I'm more irked about a guy who criticizes the team and whines about wanting to leave.
he earned those boos
And he knows he has to play out of them. Going fucking 2-for-14 in a series isn't going to get it done over the long haul, either.

Wait, if I actually *take* some antihistamines, maybe it'll even things out.

Had to follow this game on Yahoo gamecast
or whatever it's called, and had to fight to keep myself from having to explain to 10 year old Korean ESL students why it's acceptable to occasionally yell "FUCK YEAH! THAT'S BIRDLAND!" in a way that wouldn't get me fired.

the M's BP really sucks
When we played them last summer, the game would remain tight until late, the O's BP would implode and the M's BP would just dominate us. In fact, I remember staying up late 3 nights in a row only to watch John Parrish or some other sorry reliever give the game away.3 nights in a row. The M's are looking at 78 win season with Bavasi getting fired. Their manager has to be on the hot seat now.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
I was over on LookOut Landing
