Baltimore Orioles @ Cleveland Indians

  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L
Jeremy Guthrie - RH 25 163.0 3.26 1.17 .238 18 44 102 9-8
Anthony Reyes - RH 1 (11) 21.0 3.86 1.29 .280 2 4 14 3-1

Anthony Reyes came over from St. Louis in a trade on July 26, and he'll get a chance to become a long-term part of the Cleveland rotation after falling out of favor in St. Louis. Maybe he could become like another guy that fell out of favor somewhere and was sent packing.

Imagine if the Indians had Guthrie last year with Sabathia and Carmona.

I'd really like to split this series. Or at least win one game. Here's our big chance!

Brutal.

I'm at work

2-0 Good Start

Who would have thought that Aubrey Huff would have 25 HR’s at this point in the season? That’s why I love this game.

Guts rocks. Pretty much the reason to tune in every fifth O's game.

On the other hand, I wish I’d been watching last night’s Sawx-Rangers game.

Oh no! Melmo bunted!

And even worse, he got on with a base hit.
This will likely give him ideas.
Look for more bunts from Melmo at the least opportune times.
BTW, why would someone who has been as hot as he is, with the power stroke at times, bunt?
SUch is the Zen like mystery of our man Melvin.

I love Jeremy Guthrie

He soothes me.

Guthrie

How about scoring this guy some runs…. he should easill be in double digits in WINS

PLEASE -- JUST PLEASE THROW STRIKES.

the indians announcers

how about these guys saying that the speed gun must be wrong, bc Guthrie never hit 97 mph when he was with them.

This just in: Commercialization has struck the Yerks.

Listening to the Moose game last night , I discovered that the team has sold the rights to its press box and, even better, New York Presbyterian is The Official Hospital of the New Yerk Yawkees. I guess they’re expecting a lot of bench-clearing brawls…

Millar's smart...

Luke’s obviously out of shape and has a lousy body (overused O’s joke!) ... so after he exerted himself so much Millar recognizes that he could use a breather and went over to “talk to guthrie” – probably making fun of luke. THE LITTLE THINGS!

Their reasoning is stupid...

but they might not be wrong. I don’t recall Guts hitting 97 all year. I mean, I definitely seen 95.. maybe 96 a couple times… any of you?

Adam Jones would've caught that

OK, not really, but Jones deserves a mention in every game thread even when he’s hurt.

I remember Dave Dellucci

I was kinda sad when we lost him in the expansion draft.

I was also eleven.

dellucci, finley would have made a fine outfield back then

Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.

dellucci, finley and bradley?

(i mean, seriously…brooks robinson called him bradley anderson, right?)

Kevin Millar looks like he's running underwater.

or maybe through jello.

Ya wonder if Guts looked at the scoreboard during the Sawx-Rangers game last night and...wept?

Hey who's the ump tonight?

I have to say the guy is consistent and his strike zone is probably one of the most accurate I’ve seen all year…

Imagine we had 2 Jeremy Guthries?

In the 69 starts NOT made by Guthrie or Cabrera

The other guys have averaged:

5 IP
3.6 ER (6.54 ERA)

Replace 25 of those starts with another Guthrie (6.5 IP, 2.4 ER), and the O’s are probably 5-6 wins better, or about even with the Yanks.

Any chance of that Bergesen coming up?

I mean, there’s no way he could do worse than the trash we’re throwing out there every 3rd, 4th, and 5th day

by Stacey on Aug 13, 2008 8:54 PM EDT   0 recs

I think they are waiting for Penn

They really want to avoid calling pitchers up from AA.

Bergesen would almost certainly struggle in the majors, considering he isn’t missing many bats in AA.

by dkdc on Aug 13, 2008 9:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Understandable

But whenever I see his number they flash on the screen every 5 days I get so depressed at the prospect of seeing poor, poor Dennis Sarfate being sacrificed one more time.

I agree that it's painful to watch

But unfortunately, Penn and Liz are the most likely callups at this point.

Plenty of pain to go around.

Guts at 90 pitches through 6

Damn, for a moment it sounded like that foul was gonna hit Ferd Manfraud.

It would be interesting (if disorienting) if he suddenly started making sense.

thank you, thank you.

that stove was so tight a fit, it wouldn’t travel past the sink because the wall is a little bowed there. he had to lift it over the counter, move it back to the exhaust fan and lower it down.oy vey.

would you believe that’s IKEA?

that entire counter cost about $120. And it’s durable as all hell.

by dkdc on Aug 13, 2008 9:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Sweet.

A little overrun. And low on stock. I actually ahd to drive to Elisabeth to get the counter, or incur a $70 delivery fee from Red Hook, because they don’t stock it there.

by zknower on Aug 13, 2008 9:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

really

I never would have guessed that. It looks way nicer than IKEA. Good find.

It solved a major time constraint for me in that I didn’t have to order it and wait two weeks.

meaning, the sink, the counter, the fixtures, even the exhaust fan.

Why end his night?

He’s still throwing 95 and with a pitch count of 101, he could at least start the next inning.

Rocky Cherry and Jamie Walker are your alternatives.

Especially since it's only a 1 run lead.

They aren’t using him anyway, as far as I can tell.
