| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Jeremy Guthrie - RH | 6 | 37.1 | 4.34 | 1.34 | .264 | 11 | 20 | 0-3 |

Jered Weaver - RH | 6 | 36.1 | 4.21 | 1.38 | .277 | 11 | 24 | 2-3 |
Game time is 10:05 on MASN2.
Here we go. Heeeere we go. No home games until May 13. Three at Anaheim, three at Oakland, four at Kansas City, and then we come home to...the Red Sox. This could get ugly.
Guthrie deserves a record better than he's got, much as he did last year. This is probably about what we can expect of Guthrie, and there's nothing wrong with that. If the team would hit for him, he'd be winning some ballgames. He's doing his job.
Jered Weaver is better than Jeff but he's really nothing special. He's a fine mid-rotation guy on a good team, which is exactly what he's supposed to be for the Angels.
I bet we see Cormier tonight. Dave likes to throw these schmucks right into the fire.

Millar
Kevbo looks like he’s been dropped to sixth in the order. L. Scott gets another day off

Runs for Guthrie!
Because right now I expect him to get his first win during interleague where he pitches a complete game shutout and hits a HR.

Nice job, Nick

Those fake rocks over the center field wall look totally cheesy.

even if he isn’t particularly in favor of it

Melvin with the bunt and it WORKS. Nice.
Now that means he’ll keep bunting all over the damn place.
No he doesn’t, Buck. His timing sucks. Sun shines on a dog’s ass once in a while.

Millar to Guthrie??
Does Gary actually watch the game? Does he do shots between innings? WTF?

Just got back from the Wizards game
At least this Orioles game will disillusion me enough to get through the pain of realizing that none of the teams that I support have a fighting chance of contending any time soon.
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
just got back from a snoop dogg concert
trhilled to see that the Os are doign well
Good to see Millar is batting Sixth
I guess Trembley feels OK changing things around now that it’s May.
oh jesus
if anything bad happened to Jones’ wrist I’ll shit.

NIce Catch
But I hope he never dives wrist-first like that again.
AJ has to learn the basics of baseball
Just throw that ball to first, rarely ever will the umpire call that a hit if you make a snap throw.

Crap
Yet another run flushed down the drain due to shitty baserunning.
It is a calculated risk
The O’s need to steal bags because the offense cannot produce runs itself. The only gripe that I have is sending a runner ahead of Huff, he doesn’t hit singles, he either makes an out or pounds the ball, no reason to take the bat out of his hand.

Mora's not a good basestealer
And I don’t like stealing with 0 outs in a close game.
Roberts is the only one who should be running in that situation.
On the other hand, I didn’t realize how bad Mathis was last year at catching baserunners: just 8 out of 48.
Yeah Mathis isn't good for one
And the O’s were sending runners alllll over the place tonight and mustered a total of 4 runs, and I would venture to say that this is a good night for the offense.

He gave up a tapper up the middle
A ground ball through the hole because Melvin was protecting the line, and a routine ground ball to third that Melvin went home on. He didn’t allow any balls past the infield, including the last two fly balls which barely reached the fringes of the outfield. Besides, he never gets a routine 1 2 3 inning if you watch him pitch.

Hooooly shit
Man Double D Diamond Dave looks like a genius right now.

wow
i was shitting my pants with that one, took me forever to get the game running on mlbtv. sherril was killing me
awesome game
I just got back from the game. It was the first time I saw an O’s game in person in awhile. I sat three rows down from the left field line. I was pretty close to Jay Patyon. I felt heckling Jay with, “Where the hell is Luke” jeers, but I refrained in the spirit of O’s magic. I was sweating bullets at the end but l was happy to see Generous G pull it out. Can’t wait until tomorrow. Hopefully I can get some autographs.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
were you wearing
an orange BP O’s jersey? sitting with/near a woman in a black sleeveless shirt?
Improving the ballclub: Not one of Peter Angelos' concerns.-SC Wed Jan 30, 2008
Nope,
I wasn’t wearing any O’s gear for Friday’s game since I came straight from work. Do you live in Southern CA? If so, we should meet up for the next Angels series.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
haha
Brian Burres = In the Top 15 pitchers of the AL right now
Is this true?
Fro the Sun:
Jeremy Guthrie won for the first time in 16 starts.
REALLY?
"If you're a fantasy baseball player, don't pick anybody from the Orioles. ... Nobody is going to pop your eyes out. But if you're in the American League East, bring your lunch, because you're going to need it." - Kevin Millar
More...
So with a two-run lead and the pitcher’s first win since July 27 of last year in the hands of the Orioles bullpen, Guthrie ducked in the training room last night and asked that the televisions in the room be turned off. He then offered a simple instruction.“Let me know when the game is over, when there is three outs,” Guthrie said.
I had no idea it had been that long since he won a game. Wow.
"If you're a fantasy baseball player, don't pick anybody from the Orioles. ... Nobody is going to pop your eyes out. But if you're in the American League East, bring your lunch, because you're going to need it." - Kevin Millar
Even more....
Guthrie, who had been winless in 15 consecutive outings despite allowing three earned runs or less in 11 of them…
And you never heard him bitch once. Now THAT’S a gamer!

More important information from that game:
“I wasn’t nervous,” Mora said. “I was upset because the Rally Monkey, every time, comes in the ninth inning. I don’t like that Rally Monkey. I don’t know why he doesn’t sleep some days.”
Sherrill is getting to be like Stanhouse
Earl Weaver called Stanhouse “Full Pack,” because that’s how many cigarettes Earl would smoke when his reliever came in the shut it down in the ninth. (Weaver used to smoke in the tunnel under the dugout out of sight of cameras).
Imagine how many cigarettes he’d smoke with Sherrill.
A win is a win.
But there is absolutely no margin for error with this team.
