Gameday Thread: O's (24-20) @ Yankees (20-25)

Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees, May 21, 2008 7:05 PM EDT


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.

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.

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.

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.

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 reply actions  

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.

For me at least

This was one of those games that you knew they were going to lose before the first pitch was even thrown. Hopefully we come out tommorow at score some runs behind Trax, or is it Burres.

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

Please be Burres

But I think it’s Trax.

It's Burres

Nice hit, Cintron.....

what do you guys think of “Cinty”? Too literal a nickname?

I've been calling him "A.C."

But that reminds me of some SNL skit about the OJ trial.

stupid inning

Melmo goes down with an injury. Sarfate was already up and warming up before the injury. It was a perfect time to pull Olson and put Sarfate in but Dave lets Olson hit Melky and give up a two run single to the metrosexual.

This is the Olson we've seen too much of lately. Way to kill the momentum!

Career 1.83 WHIP. Last 7 (prior to this start) 1.80 WHIP. The guy is as iffy as Trax.

Yuk

I just bought 4 tix for Monday’s game and he’s pitching.

And Prime Games surtax is NOT Birdland! $27 terrace seats are $40 against the Yanks! 4 tix, and $26 in charges. Yuk.

just tuning in.

Some runs on our side of the board would be nice.

Jamie Walker not giving up anymore base hits would be nice too.

Ugh

Just got back from the game. That’s the first time I’ve left a game of my own accord before it was over (I left after the top of the 8th).

I should really just stay away from Yankee Stadium, The last game I went to was the ARod walkoff last year.

This just in: Moscow agog over Brit soccer fans-- which is a nice distraction from THIS piece o' cheet.

Yeah, when you pop open the laptop and find an 8-0 Yerkees win, it’s time to wonder where the 30,000 Brit soccer fans who watched Man U beat Chelsea here last night (in OT/Shootout ,6-5) for the UEFA cup ended up spending the night. Half of them must’ve missed their flights back to Blighty b/c of the overtime and the traffic to the airports.

It was an interesting experiment in any case, what with the Russian government issuing 30,000 instant (no application!) visas to all Brit fans with game tickets. In case anyone’s wondering, you don’t just wander across the Russian border waving a ticket. Welp, 36 hrs ago 30,000 people did, half of them drunk and singing on the way in. Pretty cool!

OK, we can still take this series. Brian: Magic up, dude! Go O’s!

True.... but the bottom line is basically: winning = chemistry

Teams that are winning don’t seem to have bad chemistry.
It’s only teams that aren’t playing well.
