Gameday Thread: O's (57-62) @ Indians (54-65)
Baltimore Orioles at Cleveland Indians, Aug 14, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
7:05 / MASN2 :: 72° :: Wind in from LCF - 7 MPH :: Rain - 30%
Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L Daniel Cabrera - RH 25 158.0 4.78 1.47 .269 19 71 89 8-7 Zach Jackson - LH 0 (2) 3.2 4.91 1.91 .313 0 2 1 0-0
Jackson was acquired in the C.C. Sabathia trade, and this will be his first appearance for the Indians. He was 3-1 with a 4.05 ERA in eight appearances (four starts) at Triple-A Buffalo since the trade. He had a couple of relief outings in Milwaukee earlier this year.
Cabrera has been up-and-down lately, with three bad starts in his last five, but he threw six shutout innings against the Rangers last time out. If he can help us win one today, we salvage a split with Cleveland. But since the O's have never seen Jackson before, consider me worried about a win.

Isolated thunderstorms in the Cleveland area tonight
We might get a delay or two, but we probably got an entire game to listen to tonight…

Trembley confirms that Sarfate will start on Saturday
Ugh. He’s going to drive that poor kid right to a nervous breakdown.
Penn on the 7 day DL with shoulder discomfort.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
ugh, i thought brad bergerson would get the start.
I expect another post game interview with Dennis dressing himself down again. Poor guy.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
I'm torn because I obviously want Dennis to do well
and not hate himself, but if he shows even a glimmer of promise, they’ll just throw him out there again.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
that ball looked like it should have died way before the wall.
some serious carry there…

i wish nick markakis was actually named rick markakis
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
i think they brought bad danny to cleveland.
where is good danny?
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Can I just say
I love male gymnasts. They are so strong! How are they so strong? With the rings? And the pummel horse? and when they spin themselves around on the floor with only their hands touching the ground? Unbelievable.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
actually they kind of look like lemurs
creepy. any way you slice it. creepy.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Back to the O's game
I don’t need to watch Bob Costas and Bella Corroli blather on. Oh between innings.

Ouch, Jhonny.
Ouch.

'sup?
Looks like bad danny is here.
Aaron Crow signed a contract with a team in the American Association. I wonder if that will help the Matusz negotiations?
The Nats pick?
Is that Independent League? Does that mean he won’t be going to the Nats?
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Just a negotiating ploy
And a stupid on at that.
He can still sign with the Nats.
he can still sign with the Nats.
But if he doesn’t he now has a job in the independent league.
My guess is, he’s posturing. But maybe it’ll prod the Nats to move things along.
Castro is not what you call a good bunter
Why is he bunting this early in the game anyway?
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Because he's a 229/267/333 career major league hitter
He’s basically a pitcher.
We should DH for him when Guthrie is pitching.
the hell is wrong with MASN/MASN2
I’m getting weird audio on the Nats game, and a ton of problems on the O’s game.

Don't look now..
but Melvin Mora is approaching .270
they flashed a stat about how he's 2nd in AL RBI since all star break
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
No offense to olympic volleyball players
But I’d rather watch some other event. Or even beach volleyball. Why do I always have to wait until after 10 for swimming and gymnastics?
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
It's only 8:30 AM in Beijing
NBC managed to convince the Chinese to schedule all the popular sports as early as 10 AM so they could show them live in the US, but they wouldn’t go earlier.
This volleyball is tape delay. The US will win the 4th set 26-24.
SPOILER!
I understand the time difference, I just don’t care. I’m very self centered.

Take it up with the IOC
I do want to see this footage:

That guy makes Bela Karolyi look like a good sport.
you can see that shit ... it was on huffpo a day ago i think
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
wait. wrong thing. sorry. yeah i saw the dude stomp off the podium on news at 6 tonite
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
number nine on the men's oly v'ball squad is named ......
MILLAHhhhhhh
any relation to kevbo?
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
I didn't see that fly ball ...

go O's!
just got home from work. Has Danny beaned anyone yet?
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
the last 5 pitches
sucked.
Whats with this guy?
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
well they took him out of the game
So that’d be pretty hard.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
he's going to have to do it telepathically from the dugout.
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
Jamie Walker
I don’t care if he was good last night, I still don’t want to see him in a close game.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
story of his year
he has been one out away from a QS about 3 times. He has also taken a QS into the 7th only to lose it at least twice.
it is wut it is ..... 3rd guy in a good rote .... 5th guy in a great rote probably
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Man, Texas is getting whooped by Boston this series
I’d say whatever slim playoff hopes they may have had are totally gone.

I want JJ! It’s his day to cover the bases he should get in the game.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8

That’s an even more unfortunate name for a baby than Aubrey.

oh beach volleyball is on
way better than regular volleyball
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
i have to say..
these indians announcers are some of the most tolerable non-O’s announcers i’ve come across lately
I noticed that too last night
they are pretty low key andthey arent totally lopsided about the Indians.
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
wow we only gave up the one
i was watching the volleyball ladies um ….. play volleyball?
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
some pleasantly plump belgians almost took the U.S. out
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
one of the US girls teams..
they pat each other on the butt after a good play.
I can only imagine where their relationship goes from there.
Awesome.
The way that play developed it looked like it should be a futile throw to first
but the slug was out by 3 feet…Trembley should send him to fat camp..NO TWINKIES FOR YOU!
its gotta suck to be Huff
getting on base and watching Ramon come up to bat.
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
Another good outing for Tillman tonight
6 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 7 K, 0 BB
In his last three starts he has 28Ks and 3 BBs.
It would probably be better for the pen
If Jeremy and Danny didn’t pitch back to back.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
No that 5.2 is great
But compared to our other starters….
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
"Jamey Carroll doesn't like the call"
wow, I care announcer. ump also called some close pitches balls you whiney bastards.
(I realize that I’m a hypocrite calling them whiney.)
our first base umpire, ladies and gentlemen

"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
nice...

Huff cleared waivers
http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/baseball/bal-osnotes0814,0,3559728.story
I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. I guess no one wants him unless the O’s eat salary.
I said on opening day he should be our franchise player
just to pay him back for the horseshit shit. And cause he can hit.
maybe it's because i no longer live in Md
but that horseshit stuff was wayyyyyyy overblown …….
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
i thought so too
i’m more annoyed by players who demand trades because the team isn’t doing so hot… just my opinion. dead topic anyway..
From the article
“I enjoy the staff, the players, the organization,” Huff said. “I’ve had a great time this year. I see a lot of future in this team. I left an organization in Tampa that has gotten good. I’d hate to leave this place and see them get good as well.”
He’s certainly saying the right things
I mean,
would it be horrible to keep Huff? Will he keep hitting? Because I sorta like him. I’d buy him a beer.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
I'm not against keeping him
I’m also not against trading him, should the right offer come along.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
he will not hit this well next year
guaranteed.
if we can get a good middle IF prospect for him, we gotta do it. we should not do it just for salary.
this isn't an unprecedented season for him
and yes, i’ve heard the argument about him “being older and that means he’s not going to get any better” from many others on here … but I still don’t think that means he’s not capable of something close to this again
He just...
maybe I’m sucker for the feel good stories. But when I hear him talk about his poor dead friend and his baby on the way and all that, I want to believe in that. I’m gullible, I know.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
its a little unprecedented
he got started hitting a lot earlier this year than in the past.
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
huff and mora are talented .... they're pros
they’re never going to be willie mays …. but you need guys like them if you are going to have a bunch of young kids …. i say they are both part of solution.
just my opinion though
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
again, i totally agree with you
it’s the difference between a disasterous rebuilding process or a tolerable one…
sometimes it seems like you have to be a physics professor to choose the right lcd tv
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
said it before... but the physics professor from the Sharp commercials
creeps the hell out of me…
it's funny.. they've replayed that commercial 100+ times..
and just this time we all decided to comment on it
Jim Hunter is obsessed with bunting.
Of COURSE Lou isn’t bunting. What, is he gonna bunt them over for CASTRO?
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
ummm
cleveland announcer on the bottom 3 of the O’s order:
“they were HOT coming into the game, 9 for 31”
dude. 9 for 31 is not exactly hot. i mean, .290 is better than .250, but i wouldn’t call it HOT.
that was nice hitting from Lou
He seems to have this hitting thing figured out.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
Good swing Castro.
You know, I’ll take this guy’s horrible bat for the way he plays defense though. If you question this, just remember what Cintron looked like out there. And Bynum. And Hernandez.
hahah
nice footage of the new reliever coming in grabbing his jock
Not hard to see why beach volleyball is more appealing to watch
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
oh wow..
Ziegler’s scoreless streak was finally snapped by tampa… and percival got injured again
so, I wonder if that means our friend Chadwick...
is going to get some save opportunities now.

Whoa, have we had a bigger inning in '08?
