PrintBaltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays, Jul 8, 2008 7:07 PM EDT
7:07 :: MASN :: Dome.
Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L Daniel Cabrera - RH - #40 18 118.1 4.34 1.36 .257 15 47 66 6-4 Dustin McGowan - RH - #29 18 107.1 4.36 1.38 .273 8 37 83 6-7
McGowan is not only a pretty fine young pitcher, but he's leading the charge to bring mutton chops back into baseball fashion. Good for you, dude.
Cabrera is 4-7, 4.39/1.43 all-time against the Jays, and 1-3, 5.35/1.47 at the big ugly park I refuse to not call the SkyDome.
Guess who's coming to dinner?

To Daniel Cabrera...
Look, I’ve got you on my fantasy team, you did well by me earlier this year when you reeled off that streak of quality starts, and this last time out with the complete game, that was beautiful, but I need you to step it up more, if you have to pretend the Jays are the Royals, feel free, it’ll make this a lot better for all of us.
p.s. If you’re going to uncork a ball in someone’s ear, make it Gaston’s, even if he’s on the bench over there.
CITO STILL SUCKS!

Loewen to DL
No surprise there.
Apparently he has a “re-injury of the stress fracture in his left elbow.”
That doesn’t sound good given that he had surgery on the fracture, a screw inserted, and a year to heal. I’m no doctor, but my pessimistic read of this is that Loewen may never throw a pitch again.
FUCK CITO!
I bet it’s his fault!
"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!
why are we mad at him again? i can’t remember.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
doesn't matter...
just be mad!!!
"Jeremy Guthrie’s funny. Sneaky funny. Smart funny. Stanford funny."
-Kevbo
YES!
CITO STILL SUCKS!
Doesn’t matter why. He just sucks. As long as you know that, you’re fine.
And BTW, he embarrassed a then-Orioles pitcher in an exhibition game. It doesn’t matter that about 10 years ago that pitcher decided to take more money from another team we hate. So we hate HIM now, too, but we hate Cito MORE for embarrassing him BEFORE we hated him.
Got it?

I'm equal on the two of them, actually
I hate both with the passion of 1000 undying suns.

OH RIGHT
mussina warmed up but cito didn’t let him in the game.
meh. mussina’s a douche anyway.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Well, he is NOW
But not then. Try and keep up. :)
(Hey, he was OUR douche then, and the meaningless game was in OUR park!)

and chad gaudin!
The Cubs held onto Vitters. I would trust Harden to stay healthy but the Cubs gave up one potentially good starter and then a bunch fo spare parts.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
that's, I wouldn't trust Harden to stay healthy
In any case, I think the Cubs took a decent gamble. They didn’t give up much and the benefits could be huge.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
Harden's a Cub now
He’s not GOING to stay healthy.
"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
Dusty's not there anymore, though.
At least he won’t be pitching 8,000 innings like prior and wood did…
Loewen's CT scan
Bone has split around the screw. Not good. He’s seeing Dr. Andrews again.
Not good, gang. Not good.
"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
sounds to my non expert ears like he was rushed back too fast.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Slightly OT
But Rick Maese has some fun showing us just how stupid Joe Morgan is.
Don’t be drinkin’ any liquids when you read what Joe wrote. It’ll come out your nose.

DONG
AUBREY HUFF!
"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
And to my non-expert eyes
that didn’t even look like that good a swing by Huff. NO uplift at all, completely flat, and looked like he pulled a little. And that ball was still launched.
"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

Seriously who's idea was this?
And why didn’t they stop it immediately after the first game. He’s just fucking horrible.
Palmer's on vacation
and Gary’s in detox, maybe? Seriously, where’s Thorne? I can’t imagine this is teh crew we’ll have to the PHN series…
"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
Dempsey, I assume
Thorne can actually string sentences together on occassion.

10 second delay
CBS has it on all live events. And since the “home” station of the O’s network is a CBS station, you’ll be 10 seconds behind the action. Tom Davis was asked about it on his radio show, and I happened to catch the answer on MASN this weekend. He seemed to think it was pretty stupid, too.

mlb.tv has the toronto broadcast on
the guys are not doing such a bad job. mostly just talking about baseball and the trade deadline.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
that's what i'm watching
i thought this WAS dempsey. so i guess this leads me to say the jays’ color guy is awful
Demspey was praising Aubrey
for not thinking so much now. “Don’t think so much!”
Easy for you, Rick
"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
"Jeemeeny Christmas, can't you ever strike out?"
Sure, Rick, I’m sure that’s EXACTLY how Earl said it…
"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, captain useless info.
“the game can be cruel sometimes and it can be tough sometimes, and you’re just BATTLING!
and then other days you get out there and you stick your bat out and get THREE HITS!”
Fahey had to seriously go up the ladder to pull down that throw
Ramon, how hard is it to throw to second base as a MLB catcher?
"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

We want Wieters!
How is it a good throw if it’s a foot too high, Jim?
Nick Markakis: The Actual Greek God of Walks
A foot?
Try almost 6 feet too high
"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
who knew Fahey had those kind of hops...
perhaps he should have taken up basketball instead of baseball.
He got some serious ups for that throw....
his feet had to be 2.5 feet off the ground at least…
"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
Dempsey DOES make a good point
Ramon’s poor throw will lead to at least 5-7 more pitches and additional opportunities for the BJs. Danny doesn’t need any more pitches…
"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
it would be a better point if Danny wasn't an absolute workhorse
He usually gets pulled for a situation, not for a pitch count.
'Tis true
but dude shoulda been out. That’s a half dozen more pitches Danny shouldn’t have had to throw.
"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 was a SERIOUS 82 mph pitch there
The bottom fell out of that. Damn, Danny. Keep that pitch!

Dogfish Head 120-Minute IPA. 20% ABV. It’s like drinking a liquid hop garden. And then you’re buzzed after one bottle. Even if that bottle costs as much as a half-case of hoppy fizzy water… er… domestic beer.
Oh yeah, and there’s a baseball game on, and Danny Boy is having people Walk This Way like he was Steven Muthafuckin’ Tyler. But that’s not news.

Given a (more or less) normal selection procedure, Nick would be on the All Star team, of course.
He wouldn’t be voted onto the first team, but the manager would pick him (or the players would) as a reserve with his hitting and fielding record—and the necessity of having one rep from each club.
I mean good for Shutdown and everything. This is probably his Wayne Gross Memorial Half-Season Anomaly year, and he’ll never see the like again. But cripes, Nick deserves to be on the team, c’mon.

I personally think Roberts deserves it more than Nicky does.
Nicky is having a good year, but not really great in any category except
next year, I see Nick and Adam in the All-Star game.
Well, if Adam keeps hitting like he’s been doing lately.

The CT scan, Trembley said, showed “a widening” of the original injury.“The (previous) stress fracture was such that it was a split and they put a screw in it to hold it together, right?” Trembley said. “Well, I think the CT scan … showed that space there again. It’s a re-injury of the original stress fracture.”

NEED HELP
I’m watching the game and my family is planning to go to Camden this fall. We are hoping to sit on the third base side one night and the first base side on the next night. We’re thinking section 4 ($15) and 250 ($55). What would you guys suggest? What would be the best bang for our buck? Its been awhile since our last trip and this is the first one I’ve been put in charge of. I can’t disappoint.
"What good are fans. You can't eat applause for breakfast" -Bob Dylan
I though Section 4is 1st base side
and it’s been rated as one of the 10 best bargains in baseball. Corner section by the RF scoreboard, yes?
"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
For $55
You can sit in the field boxes.
I’d also look for tickets on stubhub, since I doubt it will be sold out and you may be able to find tickets for below face.
sec 4
is definitely on our list. i’ve never heard of stub hub so i’ll check that out, too. We were hoping cheaper tickets one night and more “premium” tickets the next. thanks for the suggestions!
"What good are fans. You can't eat applause for breakfast" -Bob Dylan
call it what you want
he’s coming up next inning having given up 2 runs. he’s more than done his job.
most pitchers lose their release point or other mechanics at some point in the game. the question is how they bounce back.
you might give danny some credit for the two innings he’s pitched since then. his last one was pretty damned good.
Remind me...
what’s the score?

Cabrera's doing his job to the best of his ability
If he had better control, he’d be an ace.
Not everybody’s an ace.
Cabrera’s the least of this team’s problems.
WTF?
Dude, take a breath.
I think the main point here is HOW MANY RUNS SCORED?
‘Cause right now, it’s TWO in 6 innings.
"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, we'll disagree

Well..
I do tend to focus on the final score of the games. I’m kinda simplistic that way.
"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
And I'm OK with that
"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
1. We’re obviously very different baseball fans.
2. He’s human. I don’t think he always has the best mechanics. He lost them for a bit. But then he got them back. Last year he never would get them back in those situations. So I applaud him.
You’re focusing on one inning. What about the other 5?
Don't you realize that 9 time out of 10 he gives up 4 runs in that situation?
And that shit has just been let go for 5 years which is why he’s barely improved.
Barely improved?
I dare say this year qualifies as more than “barely” improved. I’d give it at least “modestly.”
"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
9x out of 10?
Not this year.
And he had two years with Leo, who was an idiot. Do you even follow this stuff?
He pitched pretty well in 04 and 05
OK, Phil Hellmuth
Gotcha.
"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
Leo
was definitely the worst thing to ever happen to Danny.
"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
All I'm saying is that it's a serious problem and just because it worked out this time doesn't mean it's ok.
Even this year it’s happening way too often and I promise you if he keeps it up you’ll see the old Cabrera in no time at all. Baseball doesn’t let you do that too often and get away with it.
I don't see how that matters at all? Do yesterday's stats help you win today?
I might be missing part of your argument or something…
let's look at this a different way
he walked 3 guys in an inning. what would you like to ahve happened next? they pulled him and went to long relief.
yeah, i bet that would’ve worked out well for us. you should be managing.
Nah, I'm good
After my Phil Hellmuth crack, I knew I was going to be dippin’ into weaker material after that, so I’m out.
"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 that single start cancels out a career of mediocrity (at best)???
I guess he’s going to throw a CG every game from now on. Clear a spot for his plaque in cooperstown!!!
Good logic though…
the point is more who our alternatives are
He’s given the team 11 QS this year. That’s well better than mediocre, and certainly places him as the best #2 pitcher on the team.
You’d prefer Loewen? Penn?
nope, i'm arguing the same thing i have all along
and in fact, the same thing i’ve argued on this site for some time now.
1) Danny is markedly better than in the past;
2) Holding onto him was the right move.
I don’t feel that 3 walks in one inning tanks his whole start. I don’t think Kranitz needed to YELL AT HIM some more. He recovered nicely on his own.
Have a nice evening, good buddy.
Right but that has nothing to do with my argument.
I didn’t say anything about holding onto him or it ruining his start. I said it was inexcusable. And it’s part of the reason we had to go to the bullpen early.
But keep on arguing things that have nothing to do with the other persons argument…

97mph doesn't hellp if it's up arpund his head
someone should have just gone out and GOTTEN IN SARFATE’S FACE
then maybe he would have pitched better.
I personally don't think it should.
This is a borderline call, but ultimately up to SC.
He was at 100 pitches in this inning, and as was discussed earlier, he had to throw about 10 extra pitches in the 3rd because of Ramon’s bad throw.
I don't think so
Danny gets a break for the bullpen implosion helping out with 2 of his ER, but he should get penalized for the 4 BBs.
I say those cancel each other out, which means no QS and no points for Danny.
his WHIP in the 6 IP was 1.33
consistent with his year.
He gave up only 2 runs in those 6 IP.
I think it qualifies. He shouldn’t be penalized for Trembley leaving him in too long, or for the bullpen sucking.
Those two runners weren’t walks. They were solid hits on Danny’s out-of-gas strikes.
SC?
Back to the spirit of the stat...
and definition of the stat. Look at the Boxscore objectively as if you hadn’t seen the game at all. 6.1IP, 4ER, no QS… point SC

June never sounded too good, IMO, until she was old and there was a reason for her to sound like she was 70.
I also never liked her and Johnny singing together. Outside of “Jackson” at Folsom, they never meshed well.

It wasn't a QS
But it was close enough. I say Z gets the point this round.

two of his four runs were let in by Sarfate
plus, I’m more forgiving of late inning mistakes than in the early innings.
"Whether your name is Gehrig or Ripken, DiMaggio or Robinson, or that of some youngster who picks up his bat or puts on his glove, you are challenged by the game of baseball to do your very best day in and day out. That's all I've ever tried to do."
They both count!
That’s also the point of earned run average. Sarfate didn’t put those guys on base. Cabrera did.

I thought you were letting us decide :-)
...anyway, Sarfate put them across. I don’t think it’s a QS, obviously it’s not by definition, but I don’t think it’s really a Cabrera suckfest either, because there were so many outstanding factors there.
thats why ERA is a crummy stat

Because the runners you put on base scoring counts against you and not the guy who didn’t put them there? That’s a weird idea.

Putting them accross the plate is worse than putting them on base
But really, they need to split responsibility. The way it should work is that, when a reliever comes in and there is a guy on first base, and that guy scores, the reliever should get charged with .75 runs, and the starter should get charged with .25 runs. If the reliever comes in and there is a guy on second who scores, it should be split 50/50. If a guy scores from third, reliever gets charged .25 and starter gets charged .75.
By that measurement, Danny should only be charged with .75 runs, because Sarfate came in with guys on first and second and both those guys scored. Looking at it that way, Danny only gave up 2.75 runs, which should count as a Quality Start.
"Whether your name is Gehrig or Ripken, DiMaggio or Robinson, or that of some youngster who picks up his bat or puts on his glove, you are challenged by the game of baseball to do your very best day in and day out. That's all I've ever tried to do."
Sure, that would definitely make Cabrera a better pitcher than he actually is.

I changed it to 11-8
No half-measures. Either he gets a point for a QS or he doesn’t. By definition, SC’s score is made up of games where Danny didn’t do well enough.
I realize there’s sentiment for some kind of push or half-point, but then it just gets silly. That half point will be staring at me all season saying, “well that ONE game wasn’t legitimate”.
I’ve argued why I think it should count, but hey: if SC isn’t convinced, he’s not convinced. And neither are a lot of people in this thread.
So onward we go. 11-8. I have faith in Danny to pick up the slack.
no QS
Danny got a close call in his favor earlier in the year. These things even out. The line says he was tagged with 4 runs. There’s not argument. Danny loses.
Except he had already earned the QS
and then lost it. The rules say those situations are up for argument.
"Whether your name is Gehrig or Ripken, DiMaggio or Robinson, or that of some youngster who picks up his bat or puts on his glove, you are challenged by the game of baseball to do your very best day in and day out. That's all I've ever tried to do."
I think I’m going a half-point each. The Cabrera support is astounding to me, frankly, given that he put himself in that situation. There’s a fair argument in here that the only reason he didn’t give up those runs himself is because he started looking so bad that Trembley pulled him out of the game, but whatever. This is one of those situations I was looking at when I made the “we’ll figure it out” rule, though I was thinking more he’d given up two runs in seven innings and let two more in in the eighth in a game where we had a big lead anyway. (Haw, haw, the Orioles having a big lead…)
And despite that it may seem otherwise, I really am not taking this very seriously. I think .5 each is fair on this one.
