Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles, May 13, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
It's the battle for 4th place!
We're relying on Brad Bergesen, who is better than Hendrickson to be sure. The Orioles have won all three of Bergesen's games since he came up (although he got a no-decision in two of them). Brad is nothing to write home about, but at least he's not my ex-boyfriend, Daniel Cabrera.
The Rays counter with Jeff Niemann, who has been rocked for his past couple of starts to the tune of 7 runs and 7 walks in a total of 6-1/3 IP.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEP!

MASN pre-game with Tim Kurkjian
He looks very small next to Jim Hunter and Rick Dempsey.
Gave a surprising amount of respect to the Orioles’ young players and prospects. Lots of praise for Nick Markakis, “he’s better than most people realize”, agreed that Nicky should have a Gold Glove, offered a scout’s opinion that Markakis is a better player than Grady Sizemore.
Also high on Dr. Jones, repeated a Trembley comment about “the most improved player in the American League this season”. He said Jones credits improved plate discipline and better confidence in his ability to drive a fastball – he doesn’t have to rush it, knows he can take his time, etc.
Young pitching: gave a scout’s take on the Arizona Fall League that Matusz was the best pitcher the scout saw there. “Right now the Bedard trade is the Adam Jones trade for Baltimore, but it might ultimately be known as the Chris Tillman trade, he is that good.” He didn’t really drop any other names on pitching, but closed by saying, “Things are going to be looking up in Baltimore, and sooner than people think.”
I guess ESPN guys aren’t so bad if you get them out of their natural Yankee/Red Sox-loving habitat.

I've always like Kurkjian.
He’s always come across as a straight baseball guy instead of the rest of them who wax poetically all season on the Yankees, Red Sox, and repeat.

Because although you can’t really call a player “injury prone” if he runs into walls or smacks balls off his shins, it’s still his style of play which brought on the damage.

I remember when the season started
Dave said they were going to keep him in the line up everyday. But it seems after a 0-3 night, they yank him from the line up. Yeah, Pie can be a butcher at the plate but he was ‘deconstructed’ by crackerjack hitting genius Terry Crowley and put back together. Its going to take time for him to get into a groove. Its ridicilous to think he can find a groove playing a new position and playing every other or third day. I’m skeptical of Pie but I don’t think he’s really getting the time he needs.

No. The Rays used the bunt against our pitcher.
It is a tactic used by some teams to put the infield on defense and cause them to make plays. Unfortunately there is some scouting on Walker that says he does not cover 2nd well or handle the bunt well.

He was way out in front of those breaking balls
An effective slider away and/or heat could have finished Mora off.

I wish Mora had made it to 2nd. Double Play is in tact

Wait, if we score 3 more runs...
Is it McCrory that gets the win on this game?

scorer's discrettion
Ray would probably get it.

That'd be a good reason to lose

Aubrey Huff has done it before.

That's why.
Also, reverse splits for Howell.

Nice tease, guys.
I like the fight, though.

Anyway
Screw Felix splitting time.

I can live with Lou Montanez: 4th Outfielder.
And Felix Pie: starting left fielder.

Thing is
Pie really is a CF, doesn’t like LF. I guess that’ll change. Hopefully one of them will at least make good trade bait when the time comes.

Pie's looked alright in left lately.
Not as good as he is in center, but at least on the same level as Luke.

So could I
It’s just outrageous to me that an organization would trade for a guy who wasn’t given an opportunity only to split his ABs with a failed prospect.
In all likelihood, Pie and Montanez are buying time for Reimold, but what do we have to lose by giving Felix the chance to prove himself?

At least they made a game of it.
And Bob McCrory should be finding a ride to Norfolk shortly, maybe he’ll pass Rich Hill on his way up.

Hahahaha on the Pena replay
Everyone got up to help sans Koji who cowered on the bench.
