The "battle of the beltways" starts tonight as our O's take on their inferiors to the south.
Rich Hill looks to make his second consecutive quality start as he faces young Jordan Zimmerman in DC.
I'll actually be going to the next two games, but tonight we get the privilege of listening to Dibble and Palmer in the same booth for as long as we care for.
Go O's.

Dibble's existential despair is pretty entertaining, though.

Yeah
He is giving props to Palmer.
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
He should be grateful that Palmer acknowledges his existence.

Dang
Empty park with very little orange.

Strange, isn't it?
Not the empty park for the Nats, but not a lot of orange on camera.

Tomorrow night should be a bit better
But in the games I attended last year, O’s fans composed the majority of fairly large crowds.

"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
Reimold just crushed that.
Awesome.

yes it is

It has to be.
There’s no reason for Pie to get PT over Reimold now. None. And Montanez can go back to being good at AA or AAA or wherever his skills allow him. So long as it ain’t here.

That was a horrible pitch

Nolan can handle players of his own caliber
Which bodes well for his future.

Yes
It’s just a stadium, not a ballpark, nothing unique or retro or classic or modern.

It's not a bad place to see a game
It’s no Camden Yards, though.
It's expensive as hell
and has no character. The metro isn’t a bad way to get there, but then once you’re there….
I haven’t been there yet this year, but do they still have that young guy as stadium emcee?
Debbi Taylor, you are no Amber Theoharris.

By the way.
I think the idea of the two leagues never meeting until the final series is special.

It's part of why the schedule is unbalanced.

We play the Nats as many times as we play the A's (2 series)
I’d rather see the O’s play the west coast AL teams more than they play the Nats and the Phillies.
Show me more of the brunette Amber
Good entertainment value.

I heard they do need starters
"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
If they haven't learned...
from Daniel Cabrera, Freddie Bynum, Alex Cinton, and Corey Patterson to not take Oriole rejects, then they should take Adam Eaton.

Norfolk
Interesting game to watch is Hernandez starting tonight. He would have to come out of the game early to start 4 days from now in Baltimore.
So far:
1 IP
3 K’s
13 pitches, 11 strikes
Quality hacks, Rich
You’ll get him next time up.

"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
I am still discouraged with the FO's decision to axe Pie prematurely
But even I can’t defend benching/sending down Nolan at this point.

Cutting a 24 year old's ABs in half after three weeks
Is axing a player.
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
definitely
I thought they might have waived him or something. I disagree with the handling of Pie. He should have been given more time to get used to playing a new position in a new league.
http://www.mvn.com/oriolecentral
why let him block reimold?
It's 4 in the morning. Too much to drink. All the girls look hot. So, the Nationals are Jennifer Lopez to me. —Julian Tavarez
I'm in the same boat
That ship has sailed. Keep Pie around as the 4th OF.
idd
not counting his first 2 “adjustment” games, nolan’s hitting
8/19, 1 BB, 3K, 2 HR, 3 RBI.
ba: 0.421

idd?
My gripe was just that Nolan wasn’t going anywhere, so why not give Pie his chance?
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
and i agree that Pie needs his chance
and the FO did cut his AB’s/playing time before the injury stuff happened..
but once the injury stuff did happen.. the FO didn’t have any choice but to bring up Nolan, and he’s makin it damn hard to send him back
Sheldon: Oh Gravity! Thou are a heartless Bitch!
~ Big Bang Theory
I mean this in the nicest way
He does deserve a chance just with another team possibly the white sox they need OF help
"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
I'm all for giving Pie a chance, but if Reimold is hitting whatever.
I’d rather see Pie than Luke though when Luke comes back. Think I might be in the minority there though.
Luke is too good a player to sit
I wouldn’t be averse to trading him, though. There are probably a dozen teams he could start in LF for right now.
The Orioles just aren’t one of them.
i don't think
having pie as a DH is a good long term solution. or Nolan for that matter. Whichever one it is, they need to be starting every day in LF
Sheldon: Oh Gravity! Thou are a heartless Bitch!
~ Big Bang Theory
Pie in LF
and Nolan at DH isn’t so bad in the short term.
Most likely Pie shows he isn’t an everyday player and gets phased out. If he doesn’t, that’s a damn good problem to have.
Reimold is a solid defender
Ideally he wouldn’t be DHing.
Adam Jones
hits the ball hard pretty much every time
2-0 good guys alright
"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
good news is their bullpen is even worse than ours
Chris Ray would proly be considered an upgrade
http://www.mvn.com/oriolecentral
Radhames Liz might be an upgrade, actually.

26 pitches, 21 strikes
6 Ks
No baserunners

its ok its ok
well just gettem next inning its not like they are good
"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
David Hernandez struck out the 7th batter too
The 8th guy reached on a groundball error to end the strikeout streak.
The 9th guy popped out.
Then Wieters nailed the 8th guy stealing to end the third.
Hernandez would need to come out now to take Eaton’s spot.
I don't mind an occasional homer
But Rich Hill walking people gives me the willies.
Nicely done Hill.

Exactly
Hernandez just gave up his first hit, although he now has 8 Ks through 3.2.
Make that 9 Ks through 4
56 pitches, 41 strikes.
Phillies up 2-0
…in the most storied new stadium ever to have been storied in a story.

3-0
I’m watching on tv right now, and i thought our guys were bad when we’re playing the yankees. The phillies announcers will not stop swooning over all things yankee, especially the stadium.
It's the first time they've been there.
And I bet they have a pretty swanky press box.

I get some of the excitement over the stadium, but i’d swear listening to these guys, you would think theres no greater accomplishment in the history of the world than being a yankee. I thought for a little while maybe i was watching the new york broadcast.
Really? That's disgusting
Harry Kalas wouldn’t play that shit.

9 pitch 6th inning for Hernandez
3 pitch K
1 pitch popup

That’s 13 Ks if you’re counting. 1 hit, 0 BB, and just 83 pitches.
I'd say he reads the news about the big club
Good night to put on an audition. I guess it could only be better for him if it was last night so he’d be on the same time schedule as Eaton.

Here is your proof; you can’t substitute in every single bench player in a tie game.

Eh
With Zimmerman at the plate, what other option do you have? Walker? Sherrill?

You could
But then you would probably have to pull him for the next guy and you’re down two pitches in a tie game.

Isn't this supposed to be the battle of the crappiest bullpen?
I was led to believe there would be scoring.

Hernandez just gave up a run
-Reach on error
-singled (advance to second and third on throw)
-pop out
-RBI single
He’s done for the night with 114 pitches.
84 strikes
That’s more strikes than pitches from certain ex starters of ours

Lets get it started
Lets get it started in here.
Sorry.
So with Pie coming in
You have to pull him so that Andino can play third, right?
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
Wait, no
He’s in for the pitcher, isn’t he?
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
He's hitting for the pitcher
So you just replace him with the next pitcher.
Andino is still on the bench.
Questionable
You know your offence is useless… when you bring in a pinch hitter to do a pitcher’s job
Against Joe Beimel no less

DId you really need to pinch hit
To lay down a freaking bunt?
Nice job, though, Felix.

Matt Wieters..... did I say his name right?

Sherrill and Walker can only be used against lefties, and Ray’s values comes exclusively from getting right handed hitters out; we don’t have another quality pitcher left unless you want to count Hendrickson.

Against a lefty I don't mind
But you’re giving the game up if he has to face a right handed hitter.

Partial score from Rochester: Vaughn Williams 1, Bartok 1
They split symphonies, but VW was the crowd favorite. Kinda like soccer: score doesn’t necessarily reflect dominance.

As an extra inning game drags on with our bullpen, that it’s kind of like playing Russian Roulette?

It's the same way for the Nats
They just keep coming up empty chamber.
yeah but thier bullpen is just as bad and they do still have d cab to come out

Walker is useless and Ray/Sherrill are specialists and nothing more.

That's now
4/4 on saves, 2 hits, and .087 BAA for his last 7 appearances I think.
Jioe Flaacco, Hon!!! "He’s like a live JUGS machine."
Keep Baez in there for as long as possible
He is by far our best pitcher left.

Do wins and losses actually matter to you?
