PrintKansas City Royals at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 1, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Uh ohhhh. Slow death march to .500 and beyond?
7:05 :: MASN :: 76° W 9 MPH (WNW) :: Rain: 30%
Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L Luke Hochevar - RH - #44 13 78.1 4.60 1.51 .271 8 36 48 5-5 Radhames Liz - RH - #62 5 23.2 5.70 1.39 .230 4 13 18 2-0
Liz has really only pitched poorly in one game (6/20 @ MIL). He's also amazingly allowed exactly four hits in every single start. Hochevar had a nice eight-inning outing against the Rockies last time out, but the defending NL champs are 19 games under .500, so big deal.
Royals AB AVG OBP HR RBI 1 Mike Aviles - SS 94 .319 .350 3 15 2 Mark Grudzielanek - 2B 244 .307 .365 2 15 3 Alex Gordon - 3B 308 .260 .345 10 40 4 Jose Guillen - LF 324 .281 .306 13 61 5 Mark Teahen - RF 296 .257 .331 8 27 6 Billy Butler - DH 192 .271 .335 1 18 7 Ross Gload - 1B 190 .263 .305 1 16 8 Miguel Olivo - C 180 .261 .291 9 28 9 Joey Gathright - CF 214 .243 .293 0 15

His ERA is largely a result of that one terrible start. The rest of his starts have been fine, exactly what you could expect from a guy in his position in the best case. His WHIP is good, his K-rate is good. He could stand to cut down the walks, obviously.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I thought Danny was pitching tonight...
but, hey, it’s Rad. Time to rearrange some fantasy line-ups, then.
Goal for Rad: Pitch at least 6 innings
Obviously walking less would help that along. He’s only pitched 6 innings in one of his starts (Pittsburgh). Liz, Olson, and Burres all need to step it up in the innings pitched department.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
Looking forward to it.
Going to the game tonight. Will be excited to see Liz pitch in person.
When he's on, he's something
Went to teh PIT game, and his stuff was good. At least, what I could tell from 200 feet away or so…

Golden opportunity for Liz
The Royals probably have the worst offense in the AL. They are tied for 12th in runs scored despite playing in a hitters park.
They are last in the AL in walks.
They hit RHP even worse than they hit LHP (693 OPS vs RHP, 749 OPS vs LHP).
Their best hitter (DeJesus) is out due to injury. He’s also the Royals best hitter vs RHP (885 OPS).
I’d really like to see Rad dominate here. I hope I didn’t just jinx him.
and they're winning a lot of games right now
So hey.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
And they may continue their winning ways...
Hochevar can be nasty when he’s on.
But that doesn’t mean that Liz shouldn’t shred this lineup.
Great, we can go to extras 1-1 again...

that game against the cubs...
he was really dropping some ridiculous changeups. i think duck and i were talking about one at bat versus derek lee where he threw a 94 mph heater than, like, an 83 mph changeup for the whiff-k. it was pretty sweet.
foghat goes with everything--birdman, 5/16/08
That changeup to Lee was SICK
I mean, 93, 94, 84. Lee had no chance.

im feeling big wins against these freaking royals.
just sayin'
This is interesting.
My 17-year old cat, Normandie, has just told me she’d be happy to play shortstop for the Orioles, in return for a case of catnip and some yarn to play with. Oh, and someone has to buy her a very small glove.
Does anyone have a number for The Warehouse?
17 is pretty old
We’re trying to get younger, zk, younger! Besides, I already got an try out for my cat. They like that she’s a local cat, they think it’ll help with hometown pride. Plus she’s already got orange, black, and white fur. It’s a perfect fit.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
17 is Julio Franco in cat years
But my cat is 15 so I guess there isn’t too much advantage.

How dumb is Dempsey?
His miid-season grades:
Starting Pitchers: C-
Bullpen: A
Offense: A+ (I’m not kidding.)
I can’t even find words to describe how stupid this is. And I thought “I’ll domestically violate him” was as bad as he could get. I was wrong.

Someone not as lazy as me
will kindly post our Runs Scored vs Runs Allowed?
"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
Scored 369 runs, Allowed 373 runs
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
Quick clarification
That was “Second Quarter” grades, not full year. But still.

OK, what the hell look is Amber going for tonight?
Of course she should be judged on her journalistic qualities, but WTF?
"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 okay with it.
But then again, I’m okay with just about any sort of look Amber tries to pull off…
Not down with the hair....
but then again, does it really matter in the long run? ‘Cause as Keyes says…. “In the long run we are all dead.”
"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
Go get 'em boys!
Time to avenge those two sour losses.

Although the way Gary butcher’s everyone’s name I’m surprised he’s making an effort.

The decision to make the giveaway shirts orange this year was a great one. They were white last year and didn’t really stand out.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones

but a little wild.
He’s a sinkerballer. I think. Dude can pitch. He should be a good one.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Yeah
He was the number 1 pick in 2006. He played college ball at Tenn.

Does anyone know a website
Where they give you total offensive production by a position? They don’t seem to have it on baseball-reference though they do have defense by position.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
I don't think I can use that
It’s telling me I have to have a premium account to use the sortable stats feature. And I don’t really understand that table. Under POS which I assume is position it has 1-12? Anyhow, that’s position by league it seems, I was hoping to break it down by teams. Thanks though.

you know
I have no issue with Buck thinking that starting pitching is the way you win in Major League Baseball, but his insistence that it’s essentially all you need is a little dumb. Plus, bringing up Tampa Bay is goofy. They can hit, for one thing, and for another thing, they dominate at home. They have the fourth-worst staff ERA in the AL on the road.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
why not
I’d hit Jones to get to Fahey, too.

Can we sign him for like a 20-year contract?
let's wait for him to get good first
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Let's not get crazy after .5 a season
Make it 15. I mean, he IS 22, so he’d be 37 at the end of that rather than 42.
"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 staying at 7%
"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, that was more Jones and silly fielding...
than Fahey. Still, 7% is not bad off one hit.
That's just off teh stuff I've ALREDY said
Doesn’t prevent me from saying stuff in the future at all. :)
"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
OK, Fahey, you now suck only 93% of the time.
And an assist on the absolutely clueless defense by KC – no help from his infielders. Nice.
"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
being neutral here
It’s too bad Aviles didn’t know Jones had taken off around the corner, ‘cause his throw home was a dart.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
He would have been out by quite a bit, you're right
So thank God they didn’t communicate.

Ramon Hernandez, if you get on base this inning, i’ll take back 5% of everything I’ve ever said about you.
I'll go with 7%
and now Ramon sucks only 93% of what he did.

Adam Loewen has very good stuff
And I don’t know how some people think otherwise.
He gets great late movement on his fastball and he throws hard enough for a lefty. His breaking stuff is just nasty.
Too bad he has zero command.
Yeah, and my daughter's fast, too
and can’t hit the strike zone from 20 feet away. Fast and movement don’t do a hell of a lot of good without hitting the strike zone, at least occassionaly.

Agree completely
But the guy gets a raw deal around here and some people claim that he has no talent.
A shitty team like the Orioles should give a 24-yo with that kind of stuff (and just 500 innings of professional experience) lots and lots and lots of chances.
They have
and they do. And that would explain a lot about the last 10 years here.

Sar-farty is sort of Parrish-y
He pitches to every batter in every situation like it’s game seven of the World Series, 4-3 on the scoreboard, bases loaded, two out, and a 3-2 count.

The O's marketing crew is CRAFTY.

They have Jim Palmer doing these MASN commercials now? I really thought he was above that.

Well, all his fingers and toes are still attached
and he appeared in a game the O’s won, so under that criteria, yeah, he had a good game.

He did have a good INNING
it was just the second one, not the first, that he appeared in.

what did you see?
the infield hit was his fault and the walk was bad, but otherwise i think he looked better than what i’ve seen.

my eyes may have deceived me, I was on the phone and watching
during the second inning Loewen pitched, and I was never that much of a Loewen fan to begin with, where he was saved by that double play, which didn’t look like an easy DP
Yerkees still 2-2, top 9. Oh, and Sid sitting on the Yerkees bench looks like
a post-game buffet waiting to happen.

OK, can't find the new Orioles Magic video
Anyone got a link? MASN’s search engine didn’t help at all, neither did YouTube or AltaVista or GoogleVideo.

Orioles Magic
Anyone else been to a game and seen the O’s Magic video at the end of the games with Millar lipsynching the words? That was hysterical. He’s our mascot now, too!
OH yeah
And I should add, this is the first time I’ve been to a game where everyone was on their feet in the stands, going NUTS. People were cheering for Sherrill like it’s nobody’s business to get that last out, and he took KC down swingin’. What a game!
i was at that game...
against the stros a couple weeks back on the porch by eutaw street when melmo smacked that game winning double off the wall almost right in front if us. it was the first win i’ve seen this year and the frist time i’ve seen the orioles magic vid at OPACY…makes the experience all the more amusing.
