Gameday Thread: O's (58-62) @ Tigers (59-62)

Gijoecobra_tiny by SC on

Baltimore Orioles @ Detroit Tigers


7:05 / MASN2 :: 74° :: Wind out to RF - 9 MPH :: Rain - 20%

Capt Capt

  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L
Chris Waters - LH 2 12.0 4.50 1.17 .186 2 6 8 1-0
Nate Robertson - LH 24 140.1 5.84 1.58 .313 19 43 90 7-8

There was no way you could have convinced me in the spring that the O's and Tigers would have basically the same record on August 15.

Part of the problem, I guess, is relying on guys like Nate Robertson to continue their level of relative success. Nate's a little below league average most years, and guys like that run the risk of a few extra bad pitches a year making them pretty damn awful, which he has been (74 ERA+). If it weren't for the epic fail that is Dontrelle Willis, Robertson would be the Tigers' worst starter this season. I know Willis only threw a handful of games, but he was so bad that it can be no one else. That's another one you could sort of see coming, and anyone that tells you differently has just not paid attention to Willis' stunning and progressive collapse since the high water mark of 2005.

Speaking of high waters, y'all are high if you expect much out of Waters today.

Trivia: Waters was born in Lakeland, FL, home of a Tigers single-A affiliate.

Trivia: Waters' middle name is Myron.

Trivia:

Q: How many people nationally (including Baltimore) will be watching this game on a Friday night with the Olympics on?

A: 47; half of them members of Camden Chat who check in for one or two innings, the other half are the people who watch TV for Nielssen ratings.

I think that number just went up to about 78 or 79 watching

Because people can’t believe a pitcher has a middle name of Myron.

I liked this guy better as The Man from Glad. And yes, this ad is getting even more insufferable

than the 10-times-an-hour MLB.com ad for MLB.com, with its clever emphasis on testimonials from players who sound retarded.

Well anyway, I AM pretty jealous. He’s making a lot of money. He might keep making a lot of money if he can pitch well enough to stay in the back of the rotation picture next year.

Odder things’ve happened than a career minor leaguer becoming an okay back of the rotation starter. I mean, can he be much worse than Olson?

It is a little sad

when we’re throwing a party for simply signing the 1st round pick, but this is the hand we’ve been dealt over the last decade.
