Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles, Jun 29, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
The first half of the season begins to wind down as the Orioles close the book on interleague play (which was overall VERY good to them). Four series remain against decent -to-good teams: the PHN Red Sox at home, the Angels and Mariners on the road, and then the Blue Jays back at home before the All-Star break.
It all starts tonight as Jon Lester brings his 7-0 record against the Birds to OPACY. Yet Lester has been quite fallible this season, and this is a different Birds team than past ones he's faced. If our offense wakes up and scores early, this game may not be a complete write-off.
Off course the other half of that equation is Jason Berken, who looked great in his debut, and who has been figured out by hitters ever since. Don't be surprised to see the bullpen get a workout tonight.
Go O's!
UPDATE: Bonus!! I was interviewed by NESN.com blogger Neil Keefe about this series. You can see my off-the-cuff answers here. In the post, he describes CC as my blog, but as everyone here knows, this is SC's blog and the rest of us are just livin' in it.

Berken looked decent last start
Against the Marlins he went 5.0IP with 3K (vs. 2BB) and gave up 3 runs (only 2 earned) on 4 hits.
He needs to watch the walks (12BB to only 19K on the season), because those will hurt when his BAA is .289.

Dear O's, please don't embarrass yourselves
My kid’s town soccer team is always average. When they play a better team, I tell my kid she better bust her butt out there, play smart, and give up nothing for free.
Is that too much to ask of the O’s this series? They don’t have good pitching match ups, but can they at least avoid the embarrassments? No stupid outs on the basepaths? If a guy is struggling, take a few pitches? Etc. Look like a professional, but overmatched, club instead of a deer in the spotlight?

As bad as we have been in late years...
Haven’t we still performed decently against Bostn and the Yanks? Its not like they are going to blow us out on a regular basis.
And I think most people would agree our team is getting better than it’s been in awhile, right?

That first series against boston was pathetic
No mater tonight, Lester is on, mixing pitched well, and completely blowing the O’s away.
The O’s don’t have to just play better against the AL (and their 74ish game win pace says they aren’t). They need to take it to the red sox and yankees. They are a long way off from that.

nice chat
on the NESN blog. I don’t think I disagree with anything you said, except that Jones is a “phenomenal” defender. He’s good, but I wouldn’t go that far.

I sure consider his defense phenomenal.
by LenaO on Jun 29, 2009 7:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yup
sometimes he seems to have a bit of trouble going back on balls, but other than that you’d be hard pressed to find a much better fielder. Speed, instinct, arm… he’s got all the tools.

Berken's FIP
is running a lot lower than his ERA right now. So either he’s been unlucky or the defense has let him down a bit.
Though I’m not sure how much he’s up to handling the Sox. I’d like to be wrong.

jason bay is a little fucker
i was reading an interview with him the other day. he was talking about never really hitting that great but he came to boston and since everyone is a .300 hitter its “so easy to be productive when everyone around you is good”
what a douchebag
by twistedlogic on Jun 29, 2009 8:14 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It IS easier to be productive when the players around you are good.
Do you think Jason Bay was seeing the same quality of pitches when he was playing for the Pirates? Not to mention, it’s tough to get RBIs when no one is on base (which is why RBIs are stupid, but still). You don’t think it’s easier to maintain focus when every game means something?

stats wise…
He has 4 errors on the year, for a fielding percentage of .981, which is 22nd of all center fielders.
His zone rating (ZR) is the lowest of of the center fielders listed on ESPN for this season, and his fangraphs UZR is -4.8 (below average). He was better last year, but this year he hasn’t been spectacular. Good, but not spectacular.

I was real drunk on the MARC after the Payton GS game and just talked shit to them the whole way.
It was one of the best experiences of my life.

Listen to all those fuckheads in our stadium.
So annoying.

We only gave up 4 runs tonight. We had a chance to win
Can’t blame our pitching.

Should've given up a lot more though
Of course, some of the 15 line drives the O’s hit should’ve found holes.

Here comes the biggest douche of them all.
God, I hate Papelbon.

C'mon Wieters
You get to bat left-handed. Don’t worry about who’s on the mound, just give it a ride.

The difference between Papelbon and Rivera?
Rivera seems to be a classy guy, and Jonathan Papelbon is the worst kind of Dropkick Murphy’s fan.

I've got no problem with DKM
I’ve got a problem with people that think “Shipping Up to Boston” is a DKM original and the best of their material.

By almost screwing up a routine play?
Most LFs catch that one in their back pocket.

Unless someone is just dying to relive this craptacular waste of 3 hours
I think we might just skip a recap tonight.

I'll write it
Adam Jones had a nice catch. We have promised never ever again to speak of any other part of this game again.
