  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA BB K W-L
Josh Beckett - RH 6 41.1 3.70 0.94 .204 8 42 4-2
Jeremy Guthrie - RH 8 50.0 4.32 1.26 .242 16 32 1-3

Two-game series. They're a lot better than us. Back at home. Beckett's good. Guthrie was good (2.41 ERA) but lucky (1.45 WHIP) in three starts against Boston last year (0-0). Beckett was outstanding (2.28/0.97) in three starts at Camden Yards last season (3-0).

We (.244 AVG) can't (.314 OBP) hit (.383 SLG) at all (.697 team OPS). This could be no fun whatsoever.

Take a look at these lineups. This is a gross mismatch.

Red Sox AB AVG OBP HR RBI
1 Coco Crisp - CF 86 .314 .341 2 10
2 Dustin Pedroia - 2B 171 .304 .342 1 20

8 Jay Payton - LF 71 .225 .257 2 5
9 Guillermo Quiroz - C 31 .194 .306 1 3

Let's go, O's.

Mora's out

Apparently, Mora got hurt and will be out of the line up tonight. D’oh!

Bomb em Birds

We need a quality start from Guthrie!

by floridaoriole on May 13, 2008 6:29 PM EDT   0 recs

A gross missmatch, indeed.

"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."

Paging Norfolk

Please send anyone with bat capable of not embarassing themselves to Baltimore. That is all.

Seriously

There’s no offense going on at the Triple- or Double-A level. And even if there is its from Four-A type guys.

I'm trying to remember....

who is the last masher that we’ve had? Belle? I suppose Sosa was supposed to be one. Anyone else?

by Chanumas on May 13, 2008 6:58 PM EDT   0 recs

Can we please talk about the MDM some more?

Beckettt’s one of my favorite non-O’s pitchers. I hope he gives up 7R, 3IP.

They took 1/3 of an inning to expose Huff as a third baseman.

why is Payton starting

Mora is better much better with the glove. Put Scott in LF, Aubrey at DH (where he belongs, and Melmo at 3rd.

Wolf, wolf, wolf.

was it a t-shirt night or something?

seems like there’s a lot of orange in the stands.

Aubrey..

had better make up for that play with his bat.

DUDE. F this. I'd rather watch the hillbilly primary.

In his own mind, has he ever stopped?

He probably

has Oriole Messiah fantasies on his drive to work from time to time…when the reminiscences of his Boston glory gets a little old.

by Jonny Pops on May 13, 2008 7:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

How is it a saving grace that it's only the 1st inning?

I want this thing to be over already.

the pitch count is ugly

64 pitches for Guts. The O’s really need to start taking some pitches against Beckett.

Just listen to the hum of that Offense!

Nothing quite like runner on first and second with no outs and then having your next two hitters K.
