Did anyone else get an email from MASN today
Inviting them to blogger night at Camden Yards on May 19th?
I’m smart, not a dummy. ~Adam Jones
naw it's a special invitation thing
get to watch the game from the MASN suite!
I’m smart, not a dummy. ~Adam Jones
That sounds pretty awesome.
Maybe you can get on camera and give a shout out to CC.
Oh…and maybe there’s free booze?
Good deal
Though I guess that probably depends on whatever other bloggers accept the invitation as to how good a deal.

Patton and Tillman pitched today
Patton: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K. ERA is 0.95.
Tillman: 6 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K.
I’m smart, not a dummy. ~Adam Jones
I’m not sure how much more ready Patton needs to be. I know it’s AA, but he’s been absolutely dominant.

Some O's tidbits from prospects guru Kevin Goldstein
http://www.baseballprospectus.com/chat/chat.php?chatId=602
NG (NYC): With Chris Tillman’s good start, do you think we’ll see before the ASB?
Kevin Goldstein: I think you’ll see him, but probably not that soon. Seems like a perfectly good waste of service time to me.
Mike (Jax, FL): Have you heard anything from scouts about Brandon Snyder?
Kevin Goldstein: Same ’ol story. Dude can hit, but not like a first baseman.
shamah (NYC): Is Adam Jones this good?
Kevin Goldstein: Yes. And eventually better.
Dude can hit, but not like a first baseman.
Can he hit as given his defensive skills?

He jacked a ball out his last at bat to help us win a double hitter against Trenton.

Wasn't he originally a catcher?
And is that how well he can hit?

i don't think so...
his slg has improved gradually since moving to the corners. he’s got a slg comfortable in the 5s right now.

--Diamond Dave to the Phenom
Question
Why are there so many AA and AAA games in the afternoon? Is it b/c of the concentration of teams on the east coast? I think the Rangers AAA team plays maybe one afternoon week game a month or something like that. Of course they don’t compete for time or money with the Rangers being 3+hours away.

Today at least
both teams are playing double headers because it’s been raining so much around here lately. That’s the first game Bowie played in like five days.
I’m smart, not a dummy. ~Adam Jones
It's a shame they didn't have a pic of the FACE TAG in the gallery
And where was Bass hauling ass to on that play? I saw him take off running somewhere but it sure wasn’t first base.

Interesting...
He’ll either be activated, with room being made for him on the 25-man roster, or he’ll leave the organization. Perhaps we’ll find out more later today.
Is that suggesting that he could be traded?

I hear the Dodgers are looking for a LF
Man, wouldn’t Juan Pierre be pissed?
"Honestly, I get tired driving 26 miles. I couldn’t imagine running it." -- Huffy
With the contract he got a couple years back, I don’t know that Juan has any right to bitch about anything. Ever.
If we can get any value what so ever for Freel, then I’m all for trading him. We have several guys that can fill his role well enough at this point. This is just the first I’ve really heard of it.

Freel was a decent pickup at the time
Even though we had Lou, Reimold was a big question mark, and we were happy to get anything to get rid of Ramon.
Then we got Pie, Reimold got hot, Freel couldn’t play SS, and there’s no room for a 6th OF.
I think I saw today that the Dodgers are going to pay Pierre as much as Mammy this year minus suspension, bonuses, etc.

I dunno
Advanced metrics seem to say Scott is better than is generally thought. I don’t know how Montanez would look under the glare of said metrics across an entire season. Just my gut feeling, what I’ve watched, worries me.
But of course, anecdotal evidence is mostly irrelevant.

Why does absolutely noone cover third there?
I dont think we should just give up on a play completely
Cesar needs to get over
To be honest
I’m not really sure why people were expecting much of him. He wasn’t good the year of his surgery, and before that his peripherals were very shaky. Not trying to sound reactionary – just mean there was good reason to be wary of him even before his struggles so far this year.
He was young and good in his first year

Against Lefties?
Wiggy: .259
Lou: .176 in a very small sample size
I’d save Luke to pinch hit for worse hitters against a RHP.

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

Nice!
Way to go George. You’ve earned that post-game spread.
But seriously lay off the fried.

I feel a little bad for the twinkies
We stole a rain-shortened cheapie yesterday, and they managed to lose today despite outhitting the O’s 14-9.
Luck is Birdland.

Just got back!
I made a Pie sign for encouragement but he wasn’t even wearing socks! He was sitting right in front of the dugout all game. Cal Ripken was there but he left in the 8th, which is weird considering.
Good game. Although the top of the order was hitless, Jones and Markakis definitely made up for it in the field. Damn. Couldn’t tell from the stands if Markakis truley “robbed” a home run but it was amazing regardless. Jones catch was equally spectacular. His arm also did an alright job holding runners.
A great win. We really probably should have lost.
