Adam Eaton - how low can he go?

Perhaps the past few games - really, the young season at large - have broken my brain, but I'm oddly excited about tonight. Adam Eaton starting in Yankee Stadium (2009 edition)? If Guts can give up three straight HR to the bottom of the MFY batting order, there's no telling what Eaton will do. Factor in the almost universal knowledge that this should be the last time he befouls an Orioles uniform before the club finally gives up and moves on to David Hernandez/Chris Waters/other, and we could be looking at the flameout to end all flameouts. Oh, and Joba the DUI Artist is the opposition, so there's that wacky subplot to deal with as well. Let's look at Adam's performance to date, shall we?
| Date | Opponent | Score | Dec | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | K | W | L | SV | BS | HLD | IP | ERA | ||
| May 15 | @ KAN | L 1-8 | L | 5.0 | 10 | 7 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 36.1 | 7.93 | ||
| May 9 | NYY | W 12-5 | W | 5.0 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 31.1 | 7.18 | ||
| May 4 | @ TAM | W 8-4 | - | 5.0 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 26.1 | 7.18 | ||
| Apr 28 | LAA | L 5-7 | L | 6.0 | 6 | 5 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 21.1 | 7.17 | ||
| Apr 23 | CHW | W 6-2 | W | 7.1 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 9 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 15.1 | 7.04 | ||
| Apr 18 | @ BOS | L 4-6 | L | 4.0 | 9 | 6 | 6 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8.0 | 11.25 | ||
| Apr 12 | TAM | L 3-11 | L | 4.0 | 8 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4.0 | 9.00 | ||
| Total | 36.1 | 48 | 32 | 32 | 7 | 16 | 27 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 36.1 | 7.93 | |||||
For the record, the only quality start came against a White Sox team that's dead last in the A.L. in runs scored (150), and 13th in AVG (.245) and 12th in OPS (.701).
I can feel it in my bones. This should be the horrible start to end all horrible starts. Predictions? I'll say 3 IP, 11 H, 8 ER, 4 HR, 1 BB, 2 K.

Well I guess if your gonna go out, go out in a blaze of "glory"
but on a side note he did get the win against MFY at Camden Yards even if it wasn’t pretty

Maybe he'll get into a beanball war with Joba
And get thrown out of the game.

Maybe he'll pull a Lackey
And throw behind Jeter on the first pitch, bury the second one in his ribs, and get tossed before he can do any damage. Let Bass take a shot at MFY.

He'll always have
that one MBP award.
Btw, if you are reading this Dayzed, you have Eaton marked down for 2 MBP’s. That is most definitely not accurate.

More good news
“Eaton is 2-4 with a 7.93 ERA. He’s posted a 9.00 ERA in three starts this month. His ERA is 34.71 with runners in scoring position and two outs, and opponents are batting .417. His ERA is highest (14.29) with his pitch count at 61-75.
Beware of Mark Teixeira, who’s 6-for-10 lifetime against Eaton, with a double, triple, two homers, four RBIs and two walks."

Ortiz and Brower
These were two precursors to Eaton
IP WHIP ERA
Jim Brower 12.1 2.76 13.87
Russ Ortiz 40.1 1.92 8.48
Those guys used to bug me. But not any more, and the same is true for Eaton. I just accept the fact this this is how the Orioles do business and don’t bother to tune in.

Eaton's 2009 stats are roughly equivalent to Scott Kazmir's right now
Sadly, Kazmir’s are more likely to be anomalous.
by punkrawka on May 21, 2009 1:11 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Just because
7IP 4R 2HR 2BB 4K 2HBP (Jeter and Teixiera).
Then Jamie Walker comes in and gives up 12 runs.

When is his last start?
Easy. It’s tonight. Unless he throws lights out, tonight is it. Then one of the kids can get promoted and start at home, or at least not at New MFY Stadium
Matt Wieters took batting practice this morning. There were no survivors.

If the rotation holds
Eaton’s spot is due up Tuesday night @ Camden Yards vs. the Blow Jays. Verrry iiiinteresting.

Adam made his case today....
and apparently, he doesn’t want to stay in B;more. Which is fine by me.

Yeah, I'm not Kreskin or anything
But at least I was close on the ER.

Adam Eaton is getting released today. They have to have an official press release though.

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
