PrintTampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles, May 1, 2008 12:35 PM EDT
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Matt Garza - RH | 3 | 13.0 | 7.62 | 1.92 | .321 | 8 | 6 | 0-0 |
 |
Brian Burres - LH | 4 (5) | 25.1 | 2.49 | 1.22 | .233 | 10 | 13 | 3-1 |
Garza still scares the shit out of me. Burres has done a damn good job thus far in 2008. He's starting to grow on me. For reals. I don't say nice things about Brian Burres very often. Take it and love it!

Thanks in advance.

Any diagnosticians out there want to take a guess what’s Loewen’s problem?

I know he's doing well, but...
doesn’t it seem like you have to throw it right into his bat for him to hit it well??
i'm doing gameday
looks reasonable through there.. not sure how it translates to real life though. Last pitch was in the low-k zone though (if accurate).
I'd say the zone is on the smaller side
But not as bad as Olson had.

what happened?
yahoo says that hinske was caught stealing. and yet there he is on second base and there’s one out.
Hinske should've been dead by 4 steps
But Quiroz sailed the ball over Roberts’ head.
hmmm
is it actually scored that way? CS + E-2? i guess that makes sense if it’s that obvious the runner would have been out.
Yeah.. but
according to Led Plantra they took the Error away and scored it a SB.

Burres is so good..
batters injure themselves just swinging at his pitches?
That’s how legends are born.
Burres doesn't strike people out, their bats are too afraid to make contact with any of his pitches.
He’s a lover, not a fighter. But he’s also a fighter, so don’t get any ideas.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
Yeah
When did the essence of Bedard take over Brian Burres? Was there some kind of lefty transference?

About the same as Burres, yes?

hope i'm not talking too soon...
but I’m really impressed with our starting pitchers lately.
Guthrie, Burres, Cabrera, Albers, Olson have been putting up some solid outings.
Now if they could HIT their way out of a paper bag
we’d really have something.

I'm a strong believer that great pitching will take you to the playoffs
Regardless of your offense.
So I guess it’s a matter of how good and consistent our pitching will be.
You know, because I’m wondering if we’re going to win just the wild card or if we’re going to win the division.
You can't win every game 1-0 or 2-1

Words that come to mind when thinking of this offense
Stagnant.
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
Terrible
Worthless
Putrid
Incompetant.

Kind of badass for a little guy.
Yup
Just in time for Jamie Walk’Em to let in the go-ahead run. To be fair, 0 out and men on 2nd and 3rd isn’t a great situation to enter a game…

It didn’t even cross my mind that he’d send Burres back out there.

Thats why you always send out your gassed pitcher in a tie game.

What are the odds the offense can do anything before getting 9 outs?

This lead is insurmountable

You're blaming this on Walker?
That seems a little unfair.
Proof?
A strikeout, a single, and 2 pop-ups (3, actually) against the top of the order.
Are you being serious?
Have you watched him pitch at all? He’s horrible. He’s supposed to be a lefty specialist, but has there been a lefty lefty spot this year that he hasn’t blown? And yes this was further proof since he came in to pitch to lefties and didn’t get them out. I don’t consider that a good outing any way you look at it. He’s terrible.
The guy has had 3 bad outings
And 10+ good ones.
Lefties aren’t going to crush him all year.
I count 5 bad outings including today.
Does 2/3s of an inning with a hit and a walk count as a good outing??? Maybe we have different understandings of what makes a good outing…
3 hrs in 10 innings??? Come on that sucks.
He is just not a very good major league pitcher any more. He has very sub-par stuff (does he even hit 85 any more?) and doesn’t appear particularly difficult for lefties to hit.
It's May 1st
Last year’s AL Cy Young winner has a 7.88 ERA.
It’s way too early to say Walker is done. He’s never been a hard thrower, and his stuff looks the same to me.
Looks like shit to me.
And he’s already given up half the hrs he gave up all of last year in 61 innings. Maybe he’ll straighten it out, but right now he sucks and I don’t want him in clsoe games.
Like I said a few games ago..
Strategic calls to the bullpen rarely work for us. There goes Burres’ quality start.
Well, 0 outs and men on 2nd and 3rd
is not exactly a high-percentage play to get out of with 0 runs scored.

Because
When you are driving down the highway, you see a sign for Chick-Filet, you thing “Oh, I could use a milkshake” so you get off at the exit and drive for a mile. And then when you get there its closed, because you forgot that its Sunday and Chick-Filet is closed.
Thats happened to me on multiple occasions and its total bullshit.

sounds to me...
like you should remember they’re closed on Sunday. It’s not their fault you can’t remember… It’s not like they just started the practice or pick and choose which Sunday’s they’re closed.

that’s different, those only come once a year
it’s OK if the dude who owns Chick Fil A is a super christian, but by closing all franchises on Sundays, it just feels like he’s trying to prove a point, and I find it offputting

Not to beat it to death, but I would think closing EVERY sunday would be less annoying than closing on holidays that come once a year. It would be easier to remember than, say, Columbus Day-which my bank closes on.

I worked at CFA for four years in high school/college
The founder of Chick Fil A believes it hypocritical to take Sunday as his day of rest while making his employees work. It’s a wonderful company to work for and they treat their employees well.
Plenty of businesses that are open on weekends take another day off, such as Monday. CFA chooses Sunday because of the value system of the owner, who gives a shit?
Although I totally get the jonesing for CFA on Sunday, because it happens to me all the time.
Its a church-state issue
They shouldn’t be allowed to advertise on federal highway signs if they are going to deny me my right to a milkshake on account of teh Jesus. Either that or they should go out and cover up that portion of the sign on Sundays. What they should not do is lure me off the turnpike with a false siren song, because that burns extra gas and causes global warming.

well...
that’s only because his team gave him the lead… if not, I’m sure he would have been given the chance to go back out there and get HIMSELF a win, no matter what kind of fat pitches he was throwing up there.

I don't like where this is heading
Lose 2 of 3 at home, THEN do a 10-game West Coast trip? Meh.

y'know
If I could never see Rick Dempsey bumpkin chuckle and lick tortilla chips out of his goober moustache again, that’d be fantastic.
That would require
you never watching a O’s game on TV again.

We are all safer on the streets
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
Torres seeing the ball well
Hit incoming

I'm just gonna use that Fahey line
Whenever anyone talks negatively about a shortstop

What an absolutely pathetic offensive effort.
Would you rather have the Giants offense or the Orioles???
I think teh Gians' pitchers
could hit better than Kevin Millar these days.

I'm no metallurgist, but....
....spending the majority of my day in a cringe-inducing meeting and coming to my desk to see the O’s losing like this fucking sucks.
It’s familiar, but it still sucks.
You should become a metallurgist...
... less meetings, more fire.

I'm not sure why he was BROUGHT UP
He has a good arm but he still has serious command problems. Do they not notice these things?
April is over. It's time for losing now.
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."
It IS a rebuilding year...

One good thing about Camden Yards being so empty
is that you can really hear the hecklers. They are giving it to Carlos pretty good right now.
I hate 4-2 games
feeling like an impossibly lost cause

That actually was impressive to get out of that
only down 4-2

Speaking of metalurgy
McCrory has my permission to sink like an anvil back to Norfolk. Whatever happens in the bottom of the 9th the bottom line is the O’s offense has sucked the past few games. Millar has to be replaced.
Greyhound leaves at 5
he could be there by midnight.
Just sayin’.

In a world where Garrett Olson and Brian Burres are for real
I’m beginning to think anything’s possible. Except for the fact that the O’s will actually score runs. That won’t happen.

Yeah
But I mean, can he shut it down in the 8th? Set it up for Sherill? That’s one thing that’s needed.
Bats, yes, that would be very helpful. Also, Markakis needs to get out of his slump.
I thought this guy was trash last year
.. let’s just say I’m pleasantly surprised.
offense definitely sucks
when markakis isn’t hitting, we can’t do much
thoughts from the stands...
mustard won. crowd was BEAT. there was a decent amont of folks there. sort of surprised trembley didn’t put in hernandez or scott to ph. mccrory looked terrible. when he was on target, he seemed almost unhittable, but when he was off, the ball was basically uncatchable.
burres looked quite good and was hard done by the result. johnson is lookng real good, too. mora and millar look so clueless at the plate, it’s sad.
ronnie's a dillweed.
