Gameday Thread: Tigers @ Orioles

Detroit Tigers at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 19, 2008 7:05 PM EDT



Next Game

Detroit Tigers
@ Baltimore Orioles

Saturday, Jul 19, 2008, 7:05 PM EDT
Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Nate Robertson vs Daniel Cabrera

Clear. Winds blowing out to center field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 90.

 

Complete Coverage >





Let's all hope Good Danny shows up. Come on Danny, zknower has faith in you! Why Melvin Mora is batting third is beyond me. Probably his playoff experience combined with the off the top of the foul pole HR made it impossible to leave him in the 7 hole.

I'm heading out to the game in just a few minutes so any mods who want to gussy up this game thread have at it.

Let's Go O's!

Palmer: "Well, everything starts over." Somebody's got to go out and talk to him. 6-0. Started over?

Thanks for waiting til we're down

6-0 to go talk to Danny, Ramon. It’s not like Danny’s a little fragile or anything.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

I go to Walmart to get some milk and paint supplies. I walk in at just before 1st pitch. I come out at 7:23, and my radio says

DET 6 BAL 0

What the hell did Danny do? Hit the first 2 and allow a HR, then walk the next 2 an another HR?

I really suspect we saw Danny's peak with his run earlier this season

We’ve been waiting years to see the guy develop a second pitch.

Yeah, I’m down on him, but I’m not even buying into him being a decent inning eater.

all fastballs, all the time isn’t working any more? It was a nice 5 weeks while it lasted, Danny…

Tremblay should yank Danny

when he’s one strike shy of completing 5 innings. So he doesn’t stand any chance of getting the win in this game.
He does not deserve this win.
But god DAMN, go Melmo. What has happened to Melmo in since the All Star game? Is he on steroids. He has never hit this well, even when he was good, like, four years ago.

I had a feeling

he was gonna crush one. 3DG had just said something about the dude’s numbers against lefties, and when Luke took that swing, there was no doubt. Gary was yelling “BALL GAME” as soon as it came off his bat.

Roch said it went 420. It looked like it hit about 1/3 of the way onto Eutaw. And for everyone who’s stood out there and looked back to home plate, you know: Damn. That ball was crushed.
