Baltimore Orioles at Kansas City Royals, May 14, 2009 8:10 PM EDT
The Birds open up the first of a four game set at Kauffman Stadium.
Fun facts:
- The Orioles are 1-9 in away games this year. Therefore they will lose.
- The Orioles have won 14 of their last 17 at Kauffman Stadium. Therefore they will win.
- KC has lost their last 5 straight. Therefore they will lose!
- KC won six straight at home before their disastrous road trip. Therefore they will win!
- Gil Meche hasn't beaten the Orioles since he was with Seattle in 2005. THEREFORE THERE IS NO WAY THE ROYALS CAN WIN!
- Jeremie Guthrie is 0-3 with an ERA of 6.07 in his last five outings. THEREFORE THERE IS NO WAY THE ORIOLES CAN WIN!
IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!

I tacked these on to the Reimold thread
But they are nice enough to say twice.
Wieters just went deep in his first Reimold-free inning, and Trembley confirmed that Hendrickson is going to the pen.

Wieters just had to get out the shadow of the mighty Reimold

On second thought
Maybe Wieters was just letting Reimold have the spotlight in Norfolk so that he could get to the bigs sooner.

Guessing not a pitcher
McCrory getting sent down and Reimold coming up means there’s an 11 man staff. There’s no way that’s going to last for more than a couple of days – at least, I’ll be very surprised if it does. We’re probably stuck with Eaton until the next guy in the minors forces the issue.
It seems more likely to me that the OF logjam will clear up a small bit, one way or another.

Very diplomatic on Brian's part.
But I object to Buck saying our pitching has “struggled lately.” I don’t think that’s true; struggling would imply they could be better. I think our pitching is doing as well as it can.

Did it make ANY sense to cut Pie’s ABs significantly after three weeks?
Because I want to be optimistic about our front office and their vision, I refuse to believe that they simply benched him out of frustration, that would simply be too O’s-esque.

I feel like I read somewhere that they thought it'd be good for him to sit back and watch a few games.
To be honest, I think bringing up Montanez made them anxious to give another young player a chance to fall on his face. If the alternative had been someone like Kevin Mench, they probably wouldn’t have bothered sitting Pie.

Unless the benching was meant to motivate him
The move made absolutely no sense as Felix was brought over from the Cubs to get ABs and work things out like Jones and Markakis before him.
What did we have to lose by starting Pie, games? In all honestly, even if Felix had hit his ceiling, his efforts wouldn’t have been enough to change any outcomes, and it’s not like wins/losses matter for our team anyway.
