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?

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.

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.
