Gameday Thread: O's (24-22) @ Rays (27-20)
Baltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays, May 23, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
Rocky Cherry was activated and optioned today. The game is at 7:10 on MASN2, and praise the Gods, I won't have to have the Tampa Bay broadcast, since they're on their W___ down there and not their FSN.
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Jeremy Guthrie - RH | 10 | 63.0 | 3.86 | 1.27 | .244 | 20 | 39 | 2-4 |
![]() |
Matt Garza - RH | 7 | 37.0 | 4.86 | 1.54 | .285 | 16 | 15 | 2-1 |
Matt Garza has been a disappointment. To me. As a big Matt Garza fan. What's with your crappy K-rate, Garza? What's with walking more batters than you strike out? What's the problem, guy? Come on.
Guthrie has been a rock for the rotation again. He can pitch. There's no more even slight surprise, if you ask me, that Guthrie is doing this well. He's for real.
Oh, Rays. It used to be a thing we had. The AL East game no one cared about. But now you're moving on. For "better places." "Greener pastures." You're leaving us behind. That's OK -- it happens. We know this isn't the best place in the world. But somehow, we just thought...nevermind. Forget it.
...we love you...

So, Dempsey's 3 Keys to the Game
All three keys – don’t pitch to Pena.
That actually might no be a bad idea, Rick.
Off-topic: Amber, do us a favor – eat something! Maybe it was just the new hair and makeup, but she looked scary thin on the pre-game. I hope no stupid producer told her to lose 10 pounds or something idiotic like that…

Pretty quiet around here
Musta been an emotional rollercoaster of a week. Confusing, too-Bronx up, Battery down-WTF?
George Sherrill
Good interview with him, he sounds like a normal dude.
I'm quite sure
he’s unsatisfied with his performance as well.

Not unsatisfied enough
to start hitting, it seems.
Sometimes
trying harder doesn’t help.

I know he'll be fine
He’s the only player on the team who’s earned the right to a nice, long slump.
But the reactionary fan in me isn’t going to let him off the hook,
Huff with a standup triple
He just kills this team, I swear.

I think runners may be able to advance a base, like with a balk
but that may be wrong
Nick Markakis: The Actual Greek God of Walks
I believe there are
Umpires have also been instructed to warn a pitcher for his first violation of the 12-second time limit between pitches and to issue a ball for each subsequent violation…..Umpires can warn batters who refuse to return to the box and can call an automatic strike on the batter the second time he refuses.

Looking pretty effortless so far. A couple of loud outs, but he’s looking good.

The real "Pacman" Jones
He eats up ground in CF like the little yellow guy eats dots.
Offense
This team has scored 4 runs in its last 30 innings.
That stinks
I’m still a big Bedard fan, especially when he faces the Yanks.
well...at least he can't GIDP

Seriously, Orioles...
it ain’t still Thursday. Don’t replay that game.

Ah, hell, game's over, TB scored a run
while I was gone. Damn.

Realistically, when can we expect Wieters to be called up?
I’d hate to rush him, but the options we have now good…good and terrible.
Hopefully 2009
This team will stink with or without Wieters, so why rush him?
unless he's allowed to fill 9 slots
leave him down there. maybe give him a few AB’s end of this year. don’t fuck the kid up.

From Roch...
With Aubrey Huff’s standup triple in the second inning, the Orioles need five more hits to reach 75,000 in franchise history.No jokes about it taking three more games.
Uh, Roch? We aren’t joking.

I fully endorse
use of the term, as it is quite appropriate

Orioles are 7 for 33 with the bases juiced this season
Don’t bother doing the math, it’s not good.
I know enough math
to estimate that’s almost .210 or .215
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
All those bases clogged up....
I know I know, easier to get a fielder’s choice, etc…..
I just couldn’t resist.

The worst part about this dogshit game
Trashman starts tomorrow.
orioles pitchers awesome
i wish joe girardi would just run out and argue and kick dirt around… just to inspire our guys to score some runs.
is markakis losing his eye sight by the way? another 2 strike outs today?
Okay. Before this flaccid and impotent offense raises my blood pressure any higher, I will ignore this game for the rest of the evening.
Adios, good luck O’s!
good night Guts.
sorry we didnt get you any run support. Again.
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
Gutsy call by Trembley
Walker got the job done in one pitch.
nicK is
Embarassing himself. He looks like a rookie this year. It looks like he’s lowered his hands for some reason and I don’t remember him ever crouching that much. Or his eyesight is failing. Maybe it’s time he gets dropped in the order or something.
But his OBP is still pretty good.
He’s getting on for the cleanup hitter and moving runners up with walks. We just need the BA and SLG to get back up.

We'll lose 1-0

Sometimes you really have to wonder what the hell these umps are looking at
wasn’t remotely close to being foul…ya have to think there’s some bias here
From tie game to double play
That sucks. When it rains it pours….

in getting out of innings without scoring…
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
What a change of momentum
It goes from being 1-1 with a guy on second one out to inning over down 0-1. At the LEAST second and third with one out.
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
No excuses, though
The O’s let yet another mediocre pitcher off the hook again.
There’s no excuse for not hanging 3-4 runs on Garza, it should never have been close enough to lose on a blown call.
yeah, that's true
But this game should be going tp extra innings if the Rays don’t score here or the 9th and after we don’t score in the top of the 9th.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
I see Jamie Walker, Boy!
getting us into the 9th still 1-0….
which will be the scorfe we lose by.
Pitch a CG shutout tomorrow, Trax. Good luck with that.

It must be a pretty bad feeling for a skipper
When you can make all the changes in the world, and they work, and you still use.
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
still lose

If I were the ump I would have called the ball dropped by Mora
just to see if I could get busted for being legally blind
So Diamond Dave got tossed anyway
as he argued Huff’s ball after taking Jamie out.
I’m guessing that was planned. God, I hope he doesn’t buy into this “Fire up the troops!” nonsense. We need hits, not emotion. This ain’t football.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Give the guy a break...that was a criminally bad call...I think the ump has money on this game
degenerate gambler…that’s what we got here
WAT?
3 outs later, including taking the field and the next pitching change, THEN you wanna argue?
Isn’t it a little early/optimistic to bring out the Sheriff?
He planned on getting tossed
No other reason to argue there
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
How many times
have we seen a ball right up the middle against ChadBrad this year?
And that’s it for ChadBrad
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Uh, George?
Throw a ball that Kevbo has a chance to catchh, OK?
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Millar is a pretty big target - how do we keep missing him?
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
Nice catch, Luke
Seeing how far back he was, I can see why he was in no hurry to throw
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
That'll leave a mark
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Now if they would just, you know, HIT!
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I hope Dave is watching in the clubhouse
Because Scott is definitely a better fielder than Payton.
He would’ve nailed Matsui at the plate last night, too.
This is exactly why
I do not value wins and loses in baseball for a pitcher. To an extent they tell a minor story but really, with a guy like Guthrie who gets no run support how can you fault him if he never becomes a 20 game winner.
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
Right
But it is just the fact that a pitchers record is usually considered their biggest or most important stat next to ERA.
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 put up a fight
That’s all I ask. You don’t even have to win this one.
Bullshit
Hit the ball 450 feet and no ump can screw it up.
they do it all the time..calling fair HRs foul...bad umpiring is poison to this game
time for instant replay
Ask A-Rod about that this week...
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I'm already ready to drunk dial him...
Barry….I’m SO sorry…call me back…..We can make it OK, can’t we? Barry? Barry, pick up!
/Still not on the Barry bandwagon
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
If I were DD
I would be threatening the team with that option right now.
You guys want me to bring in Barry Fucking Bonds so we can get some goddamn hits once in a while? Huh? Or do you wanna start hitting the fucking ball

No...
it’s starting to be what we feared it might.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Actually the season is just beginning
The bullshit is over and now we get to see the Baltimore Orioles. This year all we wanted was for the young guys to show promise, not for 32 year olds getting clutch hits. We will hopefully start moving up on the draft board becuase I’d much, much rather see a tanked season with promise from the young guys rather than hanging five or six games around .500.
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
I would want to trade Sherill
If/when we start to really sink under .500 he is going to be useless for us. Trade him quick becuase his value is peaking and hope you can get one good prospect and another decent one with cash on the side.
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
Yes or
....Chris….Ray. He should be back soon. I am not a fan but I would love to get a nice middle infielder or 3B in exchange for Sherill becuae, as I have said before, you can only hide the ball for so long.
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
We'd get a lot more for Shutdown
than for Chris Ray. Trade Sherrill at top value.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
That is what I am saying
Trade Sherrill and use Ray or Johnson as the closer.
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
And I'm agreeing
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Yeah, we shoulda lost 2-1
Woohoo.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
In the last 28 innings
this team has scored 1 run. Thanks for that, Jim Hunter.
Damn.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
15 for 92
.163/.250/.226 if my math is correct.

After the O's scored 12 against the Yankees
And everyone was saying that this would be the run support for the next week, we weren’t kidding.

Hi, I'm Jeremy Guthrie. You may know me as the president of the Shtupped Oriole Starters.
And hi from me too. I’m Brian Burres, a new member—just inducted into SOS yesterday!
Thanks, Brian, we’re glad to have you! OK, kids, today’s Did You Know question for SOS fans is: Has there ever been a pitcher who lost 20 games while racking up 15 quality starts and an ERA below 4? We’ll have the answer for you coming right up…this October.
Rah Rah Rasputin / Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that / Really loved Birds. -- Boney M
We got a new pitching coach
And look what happened.
It’s time for a new batting coach.
I know, I know. You can’t make a silk purse out of Huff’s rear, but…if these guys hit like this prior to this they should never have been promoted to the Major Leagues
What are the chances that Hickox makes a Davidson-like apology?
“I [expletive] it up.”
Never. This was an Orioles-Rays game, so no one cares.
Birdland’s making me sad, y’all.
so, I should be glad...
that I was at PNC Park last night watching the Cubs kick the shit out of the Pirates, instead of at home watching this game?
O Say Does that star spangled...
Eligible for league leads:
L Scott – .257
B Roberts – .257
A Jones – .256
N Markakis – .253
A Huff – .248
M Mora – .244
K Millar – .243
R Hernandez – .209
Not even Luke Scott
Considering that he was in the mix of leading the league in average for the first 20 games or so.
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
The Ravens and O's have the same friggin disease.
It’s a real joy to watch the other half of the team wasted.
