Garrett Olson has pitched okay this year, better than might have been expected, given how heavily the team has relied on him.
Kyle Davies has given up 8 earned runs over his last 7-2/3 innings, after some good starts following his recall from AAA Ottawa Omaha (remember Ottawa?).
The Orioles (43-40) have won 17 of their last 20 games against the Royals (38-47), including a 9-1 record at home while hitting .319 with 12 homers and 61 runs. Baltimore’s lone loss in that span came in Monday’s 6-5, 11-inning defeat, which opened the four-game series.
I'd say more, but there's a guy being arrested across the street, and I'm going to go watch. -zk

Sorry for the formatting
I lack SC’s html skillz, and me and ZK ended up working on it at the same time, without knowing it, so I left him to finish it. I know, too much inside baseball, but that’s why it looks different tonight than past GameDay threads. I’m too ADD to sit down and figure out how to replicate SC’s exact formatting.

Tag was there
Throw was just a little late on a play that shouldn’t have even been anywhere near close. Credit Nicky’s arm for even making it a play that needed an umpire’s call.

Pressers
Is there anywhere to watch/listen to the pressers in full? Usually Masn cuts away. When Trembley was telling that story the other night about Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese they cut away a bit early. I was kind of disappointed b/c I love hearing random baseball stories.
AND SHIT…
MASNsports.com
Doesn’t give the whole thing, but usually 4-5 minutes, better than what’s available on TV.
"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
Thanks
I’ll check that out. I feel fortunate to at least to have Masn here in NC on dtv. I’ve read here and many other places about the cable and mlb.com clusterf in the vacation variety land
And that story is on the game page for that game
Here’s the link – I think. Tuesday’s game, right?

Seriously, James Rouse was drawing up his plans
in the 1970s. Schaeffer, despite what I personally think of him, was raising awareness and twisting arms to get tenants into Inner Harbor in the early 1980s. OPACY was one of teh last pieces of the puzzle.

I was going to ask...
if you were from the Eastern Shore. That’s most people’s beef with ‘em.
Salisbury
And no, we never forgave him. The perception was, anything he did for the Shore in terms of roads or construction was done only to get Baltimorons to OC faster, and not for us.

I'm from Essex...
I can relate to people calling your part of town shitty.
Must....resist.....snotty.....comeback....
Anyway, I drank with dude from Essex ONCE in college. Safe to say, I learned my lesson.
"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
Hey, I'm trying to relate here!!!
There’s a reason I went 1,000 miles away to college.
All I'm saying is
Essex is the kind of place where people from Salisbury look at you and say, “Damn, that’s some rednecks 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
An argument passed through the ages...
“Who’s redneck-ier?”
I'd say Essex wins
although I really need to revist Hagerstown and Cumberland to make sure…..and La Plata is sure in the running.
"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
hey now...
Cumberland is way more redneck than Hagerstown, at least, in my opinion.
[native hagerstonian]
Would I make that up?
Here’s an excerpt from C. Fraser Smith’s book. Use the hand tool to scroll down just a bit on the actual book page…
"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
um, okay.
but in context, it looks like he was working for the eastern shore and then they all voted against him.
i’m sure there’s more to the story.
SHIT. WTF Olson?
If you're the governor...
you probably shouldn’t alienate half your state. I understand the anger, but don’t say it in public.
Unfortunately
we ain’t half. We ain’t even close. Population wise, we’re maybe a tenth.
"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, i think you gotta figure...
population’s concentrated in moco, the pg and baltimore metro.

Pretty much
"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
Wholeheartedly agree...
It’s still psychologically a dividing line.
Definitely
I’d be for teh Shore seceeding and joing the ES of VA and DE to form the state of Delmarva in a heartbeat. Will never happen, though – MD won’t give up OC’s tax base.
"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've always thought about that too...
Like Florida should be split at Lake Okeechobee.
Seriously...
does the panhandle and Miami have ANYTHING in common?
"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
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Except that they hate UFlorida.
There's that

Who does the panhandle root for?
"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
One good thing about MD
only 1 state university to root for.

I was going for land mass...
The Chesapeake is an easy dividing line.
Well, if land mass counted
Montana would have more electoral votes than NY.
"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
Well, Schaeffer says that
but it seemed to us that all those roads he built went to OC…
and the other urban legend is, he rigged the MD Lotto so no one from the Shore would win. I have no idea how the hell that one started, but it’s still down here.
"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

so, with the way things have been going does LUUUUUUUKE go bomb or does that responsibility fall to MelMo or MILLAH?
Bynum telling how
his first BB practice, he grabbed a catcher’s mitt to play OF.

Blame Jim Hunter, even though I think one of those losses has 3DG doing the pbp.
How about a “Ban Jim Hunter” Day?
Olson looks like a whole lot of suck shit so far.
So many pitches just floating in there middle of the plate.
It's not ALL bad....
"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 I will not argue
It is not at-bat worthy. Just like Opera and most chamber music.

Is he back to the rap stuff?
Sorry, I just fail to see the appeal of most rap music after PE’s “Fear of a Black Planet” except Jay-Z’s “99 Problems,” and that’s just because he has that hard guitar and drum. I blame Eminem and his light piano riff beats for the downfall of rap. And I’m positive the rap community cares about what a white 39- y.o. father of 2 thinks, too. I’m sure of it.
I need more vodka…

Does Fahey realize that he's a little piece of shit?
Because little pieces of shit slap the ball on the ground rather than pop up every fucking AB.
He runs
Like his muscles aren’t fully developed at age 27. I fully expect him to run to 3rd base after hitting the ball sometime.
this will sound silly...
but they haven’t killed him except for those solo shots. the other run was all about seeing eye balls. when his stuff is breaking tonight, it’s looking pretty sharp. kranwich might’ve had to given him a talking to about his plan of attack.
foghat goes with everything--birdman, 5/16/08
yeah, but...
he’s also looked pretty good. compare him and davies: i’d rather have a dude start reough and even out, than a dude that falls apart after one turn through the order.

You wish you could just sit pitchers down with number and say, “What does this tell you?” If you’re pitching better with men on bases, then you need to concentrate harder earlier.

This goes back to the earlier William Donald Schaeffer discussion...
It’s perfectly okay to feel that way, but when you’re a public figure, probably not a great idea to say it. Using the word “shit” to describe anything involving the people who pay your salary is not a good strategy.

They’re up by 10.

That'd work if he had the sense
to put him in at the start of the inning, based on M-K’s recent history. Not when the shit is already hitting the fan.

I mean, I’ve seen them do it against Rivera, and Okajima is lights out against everyone but us, so yeah. ..I’m holding out hope again.
THREE runs? Against their closer?
Odds are stacked against us….

is a blown save.. it happens.
But it’s bullpen management like this that drives me nuts. Made all the wrong decisions, today.
Hopefully it won’t happen again..
Guts is pitching tomorrow.
So, we should be good for about 6 out of him…maybe just get to JJ and Shutdown.

I mean, a game where Fahey triples
