Gameday Thread: O's (5-1) @ Rangers (3-3)

Baltimore Orioles at Texas Rangers, Apr 8, 2008 2:05 PM EDT


Bnltven9_medium Capt

Brian Burres, LH (2007 - 6-8, 5.95/1.70) v. Jason Jennings, RH (0-1, 7.20/1.40)

Game time is 2:05 on MASN. This is the Rangers' home opener, and The Ballpark should be full. I don't remember what it's called now, and I don't care. That's always going to be The Ballpark to me. It's too closely associated with Camden Yards for me to call it something else.

You may remember the Rangers from August 22, 2007, an historic day in Major League Baseball History.

Ph2007082202500_medium

And that was just the first game of a double-header, if you recall.

Jennings is with his third team in as many years, as he's gone from Colorado to Houston via trade and now signed with Texas as a free agent. When he's on, he's a fine pitcher. He struggled in his first start as a member of the American League, losing at Seattle on April 2.

This is Burres' first start of the season. He did throw an inning of mop-up on Opening Day. Burres was useful before the All-Star break (4.27/1.55) but got torched once the league had a read on him afterward, putting up a 7.92 ERA and 1.89 WHIP. That is unforgivably bad. So excuse me if I don't get as excited about Burres as Jim Palmer tends to.

Since I'm on the Extra Innings package on cable, I'll probably have to put up with Josh Lewin and the Texas broadcast. On the plus side, I'll get to see some Dallas-area commercials. Actually, looks like the Texas broadcast is on KDFW down there, and not their FSN. So hooray for MASN, I think!

Bnltven9_medium ORIOLES STARTING LINEUP

  1. Brian Roberts, 2B
  2. Nick Markakis, RF
  3. Kevin Millar, 1B
  4. Aubrey Huff, DH
  5. Luke Scott, LF - .500/.579/.625
  6. Ramon Hernandez, C
  7. Scott Moore, 3B
  8. Adam Jones, CF
  9. Luis Hernandez, SS

Bnltven9_medium RANGERS STARTING LINEUP

  1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
  2. Michael Young, SS
  3. Josh Hamilton, CF - .292/.368/.554 with CIN last season
  4. Milton Bradley, RF
  5. Hank Blalock, 3B
  6. Marlon Byrd, LF
  7. David Murphy, DH
  8. Gerald Laird, C
  9. Ben Broussard, 1B

FUN STATS

  • Burres was a big part of that 30-3 drubbing. A big, big part. Two-thirds of an inning pitched, eight earned. 108 ERA.
  • In 225 career at-bats, Melvin Mora hits .298/.386/.440 against Texas. At The Ballpark (129 AB), he bats a powerless .279/.356/.388 with just one home run.
  • Big-time super superstar Michael Young hits a robust .290/.337/.391 against the Orioles. That's not as big of a dropoff from his overall numbers as most seem to think.
  • Handlebar moustached former Blue Jay Frank Catalanotto hits .286/.377/.402 against the O's. Frankie Cats is one of my favorite players.

Weather

I'm about 3 1/2 hours North of Arlington but the weather there is about the same as here. Storms last night and storms possible throughout the afternoon. This one could get delayed at some point.

I'm in the TEX market but if they don't put it FSN SW (which it isn't) then I don't think I get it. Bummer.

Yeah weather delays!

Since I'm teaching until 3 and don't get home until 3:30, a 90 minute delay would do me just fine.

I remember being up 3-0 on that game.

Before we gave up 30 unanswered.

Man, I had a good feeling about that game, too.

That was a rough game.

I was travelling to Michigan for my grandmother's funeral when I had a molar go apeshit inside my mouth - we're talking abject pain. When I got to Michigan I rushed to a dentist who told me I needed a root canal but there was nobody available to do it at the office till first thing the next morning. So I sat there watching the game in excruciating pain that evening as they got walloped. First thing in the morning was the root canal, followed immediately by the emotional pain of the funeral.

The way I saw it though - if you're going to have that kinda stuff happen, it's better to take it all at once rather than dragging it out.

Gameday is lame

But it has to do for me when we play the White Sox and it's not on my TV.

Get this, I live -- well let me show you a map.

OK, got that, right? I have FSN Detroit, since I live in Michigan, and not CSN Chicago. I have WGN. We have Chicago network affiliates, nothing from Detroit. Nothing from further east than Kalamazoo, in fact.

For YEARS, the blackout restrictions precluded me from seeing games out of Detroit, Chicago, and...Cincinnati?

This year, Detroit and Cincy games come in on EI, but Chicago does not. So apparently, we're officially the Chicago market. Which would seem to me we should have CSN Chicago and not FSN Detroit, or both, but not FSN Detroit and not CSN Chicago.

To be honest, where I live is not really a state. It's an area called Michiana, or Resort Towns for Chicagoans.

But anyway, since WGN doesn't get a LOT of Sox games, I generally don't get to see the O's play the White Sox, which pisses me off. Thankfully, two of the three Cubs games are on WGN, and I might try to just go to the other one if I can get tickets.

another off-topic baseball topic

Jeff Passan, always a genius, show the usual disbelief at the idea of Jeter being a bad shortstop.

How many people can show this before someone in the mainstream media goes, "You know what? Yeah, he is." It's not even like it's hard to see.

Then again, if they all follow the lead of the ESPN Talking Heads, then I'm pretty certain they never actually watch any games.

He was the ace of some legendary pitching staffs. He's devastatingly good-looking. He's very intelligent and well-spoken. And sometimes he's funny when he stops taking himself so seriously.

Since we were talking about the DVD boys Texas had...UT played at OU in Norman over the weekend. A friend of mine was at the game sitting in the OF drinking contraband beers and razzing UT's CF...Danks Jr...or whatever John Dank's brother's name is. Anyway, the dad comes out there and starts cursing at them for ribbing his son and asking if they ever played baseball. My buddy asked, "With a beer gut like that have you ever played any sport?" At which point security had to hold Mr. Danks back and escort him out of the park.

well...

I think the fact that there are more right handed hitters in baseball than lefties and that it may be harder for a lefty to strike out a righty may be the reason for lower K-rates from lefty pitchers. Just a thought.

Give Burres at least a couple more outs

Would be nice if Albers is the only reliever we use.
