Baltimore @ New York


Capt Capt

  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA BB K W-L
Garrett Olson - LH 4 23.1 3.47 1.37 .278 7 18 3-0
Darrell Rasner - RH 2 12.0 3.00 0.83 .209 1 5 2-0

The Yankee fans are hemming and hawing and whining about "The Captain" getting plunked and pulled. My favorite line so far is that Cabrera shouldn't be pitching inside with a big lead, because we all know that if you get a lead you should give up trying to win. Just throw meatballs, guys.

I think it's entirely possible that some real good bad blood is a-brewin'. Fine by me.

Last night I was remembering

last year when the Orioles were kicking the shit out of the Yankees so the Yankees decided to be babies and hit Markakis and Tejada, then in the next game Bedard promptly retired the first two Yankees and then nailed Jeter with his first pitch. One of my proudest Bedard moments.

Moral? Beat the crap out of the Yankees, be prepared for bush league tactics.

Yanks are terrible against lefties

Only Jeter, ARod, and Molina hit LHP better than RHP.

Oh, god!

Jose Molina! Fear him! :P

I really hope I get to see part of this game.

I also hope Garrett Olson keeps his big boy pants on tonight.

Hopefully, we get the same start tonight

so by the time I’m back from another softball loss, this game will already be in hand for the O’s.

GO O’S!

Another thought

Rasner’s a part of the Baby Brigade with Hughes and Kennedy, right? And they’re all on pitch counts, right? 2 starts, 12.0 IP, means 6.0 a start. That means 1/3 of the game is almost guaranteed to be in the MFY’s bullpen.

I like out odds.

Not really

Rasner is more of an organizational guy than a prospect.

More Jon Leicester than Jon Lester.

by dkdc on May 21, 2008 4:57 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

My bad

Still, his IP so far (small sample size, I know), leads me to believe we’ll be into the MFY bullpen sometime in the 7th.

Jeter is in the lineup

Much boohoo about nothing:

http://yankees.lhblogs.com/

I can’t see how LaTroy doesn’t get suspended, but MLB usually “reviews videotape” for a few days.

by dkdc on May 21, 2008 4:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

honestly

I hate Jeter, but I’m glad he wasn’t hurt.
It does make the Yankees look like total tools trying to justify anything LaTroy did however.
Jim Rome absolutely rips the MFY apart today, calling LaTroy “stupid” and “bush-league”

Don't think I've ever said this before but...

...I’m kind of pissed I missed Jim Rome today.

Jamie Walker, Boy!

and a few others in the bullpen would be willing to settle the score and take the days, I’m quite sure.

for Jaime Walker, Boy! settling scores but he doesn’t exactly bring the heat. I think I’d rather have Sarfate step up and settle a score.

Hope they can ride last night's momemtum

Rasner is a new look. Hopefully the O’s don’t come out befuddled. Olson is also still a question mark. It’s not like he’s been like Daniel Cabrera or something. The last couple Olson outings have been an adventure.

If there is any bad blood, I’d expect it to emanate from “tough guy” Joe Girardi. I don’t think Trembley is stupid enough to get caught up in it because (1) Jeter’s pluning was unintentional, and (2) it sure seems more his style to just say the best way to respond is to kick their ass. Let Captain Queeg in the other dugout stew away. I have to figure he and Cashman are not having a swell time of it.

by drj on May 21, 2008 4:58 PM EDT   0 recs

That's where Trembley is valuable

Joe Cool is over there, seething, worrying about “protecting his guys” and bullshit “codes.”

Diamond Dave is trying to figure out how to actually win the game.

Yankees win 6-3

I just don’t see the O’s pulling this one out. They hit a few kind of hard balls in the top half but I don’t think it is gonna work out tonight.

This is just the type of game that you lose

The other team was embarassed last night, it is raining, the O’s are on the road, a young pitcher is on the mound. Those are all sweeping generalizations but pretty much sum it up.

Do you like The Bigs?

Mario Kart (fun!) is the only game we’ve bought so far. I’m still wasting most of my time on Wii Sports baseball and golf.

I just think a better baseball game will be fun. I also would like to at least rent “Manhunt 2” which requires you to make realistic stabbing motions with the Wii controller.
