PrintBaltimore Orioles at Oakland Athletics, May 6, 2008 10:05 PM EDT
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Brian Burres - LH | 5 (6) | 31.1 | 2.87 | 1.28 | .237 | 13 | 19 | 3-2 |
 |
Justin Duchscherer - RH | 3 | 15.0 | 2.40 | 1.27 | .271 | 3 | 14 | 2-1 |
10:05/07 on MASN2.
Bur-dog has done a hell of a good job so far this season. Hell of a good job. Duchscherer is someone I've always liked because he was a pretty good shutdown reliever that didn't throw gas or anything, just pounded the crap out of the strike zone. He always wanted to start, now he is. And his first three starts this season have gone OK. He's not going to eat a lot of innings up, but he'll probably consistently do his job.
Duchscherer's career line against the Birds is good, but it's sample sized. Eight appearances (one start) and about 15 innings, he's put up a 2.87 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. Burres threw nine innings against Oakland last season and gave up just one earned. Little bit o' luck involved, but whatever.
Oakland is running out an all-righty lineup, but as we saw yesterday, they haven't done a whole lot against lefties. Blez at A's Nation is a little concerned with that. I'd like to trade him problems sometime.

.500: good as gone?
i want to bask in the glory of not being a losing team another day. lets win this one!
oh, and due to mlb.tv giving a free 2 day trial, i’ll actually be watching the game instead of gameday. hoorah!
"Don't worry, the fans don't start booing until July." - Earl Weaver
About last night...
I went to Colliseum last nigh for the annual O’s visit.. I agree with the comments about this being a winnable game we lost on a couple of baserunning mistakes and fielding plays. Eveland pitched a great game though – he was scary.
The thing I didn’t get was why we left Johnson in the game in the 10th to face Thomas and Brown. He was giving up balls and walks at that point and he looked out of it. We didn’t have anyone warming up in the 10th though. Trembly had been bullpen happy in the 7th – 9th but left JJ in to give up a walk and the winning RBI. Brown said after the game that he’d been walked by JJ at the top of the 9th and knew what to look for when he faced JJ again in the 10th. Blam. Game over.
BTW – Olsen is Birdland for me. A huge improvement over Loewen in the rotation.
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
good lord
Anyone happen to be watching the O’s pregame? Rick Dempsey has got to be the biggest imbecile in history. Here is one of his keys for the game:
“Play some good old bay area Billyball. I’m not talking Billy Beane that wants everybody to walk, I’m talking Billy Martin—a little squeeze, a bunt, a hit and run.”
yes, yes he is
He’s like the drunken uncle everyone likes, but no one wants to drive home.
"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
I don't like him
It’s sad, because I love the idea of pre and post game shows, but the fact that Jim Hunter and Rick Dempsey are the hosts makes them unwatchable. After the season ended last year I got an email survey from MASN about every single broadcast personality and their roles and I tore into those two idiots, but I guess it did no good.
CB Bucknor?
Oh good Lord, this is gonna be painful. Because you know that pitch will NOT be a strike in the OAK half of the inning.

The only starter whose name I cringe at so far this season is the Trashman. And Loewen, but I try to pretend he doesn’t exist sometimes.
Trax and Lo-Lo were the 2 I was thinking of...

to think of me staying up late for this game. They want me to get a good night’s sleep so they’re going as fast as they can.
so, from a utility perspective
how many extra minutes of sleep would you give up for an Orioles win tonight?
ok they just had on a Big O tires commercial before the game came back on
that doesnt even sound real

Second time through the order
Can’t be worse than the first time through.
Meanwhile, Sid is throwing low-90's, 80% strikes, mowin' em down 3-0 after 2.
I think we just gave up early on him. Let’s work a trade.

5-0 Rangers in the 3rd. Sid sitting in the dugout watching Bautista suck-- and YANK, out he goes.
There’s something a little demented about doing Sid updates during an O’s game. Maybe I should ask Amber for some pointers. No, that would be a lot demented.

Anita Marks
Yeah, she’s really good…especially throwing a football in centerfield and taking grounders of a fungo (fahey) bat.
MASN Commerical: That ball hit DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP to left = comedy gold
Um, Rangers 10-0 after 2 1/2. Sid, buddy, if you don't win THIS one...
Rah Rah Rasputin / Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that / Really loved Birds. -- Boney M
Well I didn't know about that
I actually know next to nothing about Anita Marks.
I have nothing against women being sexed up or posing in playboy, if they choose, I just hate how women in sports get portrayed that way, as if that’s what makes them worth watching. And maybe that is all that makes Anita worth watching, I don’t know. But if it is, she shouldn’t be on the air.
But what do I know? She’s sassy.
Everything I see and read about her screams out that she's not too bright.
So she has to resort to a mesh shirt to try to get an audience? I’d be content to see her disappear.
Nothing
That I’m sure a few defensive backfields, or outfielding units, or…Marine bases, haven’t seen.
What does it say about the O's?
That I really only watch the innings when they’re in the field because I expect absolutely nothing when they hit…
well this game is moving right along...
"Don't worry, the fans don't start booing until July." - Earl Weaver
Duchscherer hasn't gone more than 5 innings yet this year
Let see what happens when he gets stretched out (I’m guessing 3-up-3-down)
Ha, finally got the O's on MLfrickin'B.com. Good, I was getting a little tired of watching Sid rule the world.

it wouldnt matter
wouldnt put us in contention and itd bring more scruitiny to the club. not to mention, we’re trying to get AWAY from signing olg guys past their prime
"Don't worry, the fans don't start booing until July." - Earl Weaver
Yeah but at least we'd have a hitter
who would hit a ball hard once in a while and not do anything retarded.
Well...
1) We aren’t going to the playoffs this year
2) He’s an Ass
3) He’d be a huge distraction, wouldn’t mesh with the locker-room.
4) He can only play DH, and Huff isn’t great, but he’s not the reason we can’t hit worth a damn
5) He’s an Ass
6) He wouldn’t be a good influence on our young players
7) Did I mention he’s an Ass?
Ehh
I think the ass factor has been blown out of proportion. I’d much rather have him than Huff. How would having the best hitter ever be a bad influence on our young players? They might learn how to hit.
Who gives a shit how our locker room meshes when we’re rebuilding and half the guys will be gone in 1-2 years anyway?
Also if he got hot we might get value for him at the trade deadline.
No, nothing about Barry Bonds has been blown out of proportion. He’s an asshole. It’s not often that pro athletes will say, “Goddamn, I’m glad he’s gone,” but that was the Giants this spring. Nobody likes him.

Supposedly
nobody liked Eddie Murray either. Lots of things get blown out of proportion and tons of times people say “goddamn, I’m glad he’s gone.” about pro athletes.
eddie murray wasnt the posterboy for being on the juice
"Don't worry, the fans don't start booing until July." - Earl Weaver
Yes, people do. Other athletes rarely say it. The Giants had players making not-so-subtle statements about it all spring.
Eddie Murray’s also an asshole, let’s be fair about that (there’s a reason he gets fired from every job he lands), but he wasn’t a completely distracting, roided-up liar, either.

Randy Moss for one.
There are always players saying they are better off after their best player (who happens to be a prick) goes to another team.
Happens in all sports.
Randy Moss gets along fine in New England
It’s amazing he didn’t love being in Oakland with a joke of a team.
by Scott Christ on May 6, 2008 11:57 PM EDT up reply actions
Randy Moss was an asshole in Oakland
he was so godawful that they traded him for a 4th round pick. Then he decided to stop being an ass because he was winning and had a HOF QB to throw the ball to him, so he started to behave.
Plus
I’m not saying Cal Ripken is the be all end all or anything, but the man personally vouches for Eddie Murray. So while Murray may be a surly fellow, I can’t think he’s a totally rotten person the way one Mr. Bonds appears to be.
Intoverted athletes
are always considered assholes by the media. After all, they don’t bare their hearts to some journalist, a crime punishable by persecution.
the media didn't like Eddie Murray
He was a bit of a loner, but he didn’t constantly piss off the other members of his team, as far as I know
Ripken says Murray was a great teammate
by Scott Christ on May 6, 2008 11:55 PM EDT up reply actions
See I don't like Huff
but at the least he doesn’t juice up, apologizes when he’s been a jerk, isn’t under investigation for breaking the law, etc…
Bonds may make us win more, but it’d be that dirty kind of winning, where the team wins more, but you like them less.
Locker room chemistry is important for young player development, and a lot of our washed-up players were OK once and do know something about playing, and actually want our younger players to succeed. Bonds cares about racking up stats, but not about racking up wins. My GF is from California, trust me he is big enough of an asshole to drive a truck through.
Trading him is interesting, but not enough to justify putting the bastard on the team.
If we were contending this year, it might be OK to put a jerk on the team to try to get the win, but we aren’t contending.
woof
Look, I agree with you, but this is a ridiculous statement:
Bonds cares about racking up stats, but not about racking up wins.
What possible evidence is there of this? He’s the all-time leader in home runs so he doesn’t care about winning? Would he care more about winning if he stunk?

Actually, since Medvedev’s about 5’4” (shorter than Putin for cryin’ out loud; the next guy will have to be a midget), I guess it’s a small inauguration today. Anyway, he’s All Corporate, All the Time—but that said, he has made some encouraging noises since he was elected (March 2) about rule of law, civil society, etc. But let’s see what actually happens. Anybody can make encouraging noises. Amber can make encouraging noises. Just not when I’m in the room.

I hadn't understood how bad we were.

We are really really really bad.
Meanwhile, the Sidline: 7 IP, 1 ER, 1 W -- and will pick up the win, of course.
Of the 7 H, 3 were in the 7th: two infield singles and a bloop. I’d say Sid is threatening to enter the ranks of Ex-Orioles Who Get Their Acts Together Elsewhere (and Only Elsewhere). It’s a big club.
