PrintBaltimore Orioles at Kansas City Royals, May 17, 2009 2:10 PM EDT
Game time is 2:10.
Koji has been our best starter by far this season, which hasn't been so hard when faced with the competition provided by Guthrie (5.21/1.48), Eaton (7.93/1.76), Bergesen (5.27/1.76), and Hendrickson (6.03/1.85). If anyone has been operating under the idea that our starting pitching hasn't been as bad as advertised, I suppose they're right. If anything it's been worse.
Luke Hochevar's first start...didn't go so well.

Weirdness in Tampa
Apparently Tampa f-ed up the lineup card, listing two 3Bs, when Longoria was meant to be DHing today. The ultimate result is that Longoria is out of the game, Tampa loses the DH, and Sonnanstine is the #3 hitter for this game. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it.

Can someone please help me?
If you’re a computer savvy person?
Like 5ish days ago I came to CC and it looked all wonky. The graphic in the top left corner is just a black box, and it’s not a link the way it’s supposed to be. Some pictures in posts don’t show up, but some do. The spacing is off on some things, mostly fan shots, and when I’m writing a story or making a poll some things just don’t show up (like the box that allows me to change the date that the poll closes). No other sbnation websites have this problem and I’m not having any problems with any other websites. Oh, and I’m using Firefox but I have IE and when I go there everything is fine.
I have done everything that I know to do (that is, clearing my cookies and restarting the computer) and it continues to be all jacked up. Any advice?

Somehow this website got on the list of exceptions in the image load thing on options. I wonder how that happened. Oh well. Thanks.

Dave is actually astronomically bad at small ball
He can’t call a hit and run, his players don’t know how to not get out on the basepaths, he never bunts, and signs are never stolen.

It's cool to watch
The Angels do it because guys like Mike Scioscia actually know how to field an effective team for that style of play, but when you have goons such as Dave Trembley trying to send Huff with Melvin Mora at the plate, it just isn’t the same.

I'm so conflicted about the outfielders
I want Reimold to be up here and be successful, but I think he’s gotta go when Adam is ready. He shouldn’t sit the bench, Lou can do that. And Pie needs to play every day.
I’m smart, not a dummy. ~Adam Jones
Reimold never should have been called up
Pie should have been given his full chance, with Lou as a mere filler in Baltimore to protect Nolan from sitting on the bench in the majors.
If things had been done properly, the front office would have given Pie his time while keeping Nolan in Norfolk until things with Pie fell apart.
Had Felix actually panned out, then you have a great 4th outfielder or some nice trade bait.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
we didn’t call up Reimold until after Adam Jones was hurt… that forced Pie into CF
we brought up Reimold to play LF
Put Lou in left
Pie in center, and don’t call Nolan up.
The problem with bringing Nolan to Baltimore is that Trembley has been very vocal about giving Reimold full playing time while he is with the major league club, so that inevitably means that Pie’s time goes way down when Adam comes back tomorrow.
Sure, Felix got some ABs for one four game series, but AJ is supposed to come back in our next game, so where is he going to fit in? When Scott comes back, you’re left with even less room.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
Lou has been hurt, too.
"I'm having an interment camp constructed under the stadium specifically for Yankees & Red Sox fans" - 11:08 AM Apr 15th from digsby in reply to BaltimoreMD
I guess
But all this takes a back seat to the fact that Pie’s ABs were cut in half long before Reimold was in Baltimore.
The front office didn’t give him more than three weeks.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
Now that I agree with
And I am trying to give the team the benefit of the doubt, but if, when Adam is healthy again, they send down Montanez and keep Pie on the bench so Reimold can play, or send down Reimold but start running Montanez out there some more, I will be pissed.
I’m smart, not a dummy. ~Adam Jones
Right
There isn’t any other feasible move other than moving down Montanez.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
they could
play pie in left, occasionally using him to give a day off to adam/luke/nick. when pie’s doin that lou can play left
Sheldon: Oh Gravity! Thou are a heartless Bitch!
~ Big Bang Theory
Wait
I misspoke, I meant that they should move down Reimold so that Pie can get his time with Nolan not rotting on the bench.
I agree with your post, though.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
the only reason Reimold got called up
is because Scott, Pie, and Jones were all somewhat injured, so I’m fine with him being brought up
by NickMarkaces on May 17, 2009 2:54 PM EDT up reply actions
I think that was the original plan.
But Jones and Luke getting hurt at the same time kind of rushed things a bit.

No quick hook today...
It’s weird because Trembley has shown some pretty quick hooks this year, but left in Koji about two batters two long right there. I think Koji’s track record this year would show he tends to not do well the last inning when he’s nearing 90 pitches. There really should have been someone warming already.
Of course, now it’s Jamie Walker coming in, so I feel even worse.

Well, that was underwhelming.
How damn dumb are they?

We put up with a lot (and I mean A LOT) more than most sites on SBN, but the rules we do have are strictly enforced.

Alright B-Rob, let's start off back-to-back-to-back jacks to tie it up here

I think what we have here
is a no-MBP game.
every game in the past month has been humiliating
do you think that maybe in one game, someone would be able to go eight innings or hit a home run or steal three bases? no motivation because everyone knows that the non existent bullpen will blow it in the end
Really, every game?
I’m pretty sure we’ve won a few this month, dipshit.

And before today
the bullpen had allowed 2 runs in 3 games…

My bad. You can't leave this f*cking team to their own devices after the 5th, and that's a fact. Or can't leave these relievers, anyway.
Sucktitude, thy name is bullpen.

Gotta demur
All in all, I think the BP has been kind of a bright spot. But over-reliance on a BP of overachievers has predictable consequences—same as it did last season, and the season before. I don’t think yesterday was the beginning of the end, but it will come as sure as the sun will shine as long as the starters can’t get past 6.
