GameThread: Orioles (16-25) @ Nationals (12-28)

Masn_medium

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Our bullpen is done

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

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

Do wins and losses actually matter to you?

I mean I guess it would worry me that Baez’s trade value would decrease, but otherwise I could care less.
