PrintBaltimore Orioles at Oakland Athletics, Jun 6, 2009 9:05 PM EDT
Game time is 9:05.
If you've never seen Trevor Cahill, here's the scouting report:
“He’s good,” Chicago catcher A.J. Pierzynski told the Athletics’ official Web site of Cahill.
Sounds rough.
And here is grizzled veteran Dallas Braden's take on Oakland pitching:
“These guys are absolutely throwing the snot out of the ball,” Braden said.
Charming.

I didn't know it was Cahill tonight
He’s like an upgraded Chris Tillman.
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
yup
ranked #11 on BA’s top 100 list but hes still only 21. Although with the way the orioles have been hitting…

Salazar coming?
According to the Sun it looks like it but he won’t be there for tonight’s game says Roch. Chezus,you would think they could rickshaw his ass out there before game time. Trembley will probably let him rot on the bench anyway instead of Melvin mfing Mora or Ty freaking Wiggy. Apparently Jorbert didn’t win many admirers when he watched a homer sail over his head in spring training without moving a muscle.
Hopefully Salazar is here to stay. We don’t need Hendrickson if we move Hernandez to the bullpen.
Brian Roberts – 2B
Nick Markakis – RF
Adam Jones – CF
Luke Scott – DH
Aubrey Huff – 1B
Melvin Mora – 3B
Gregg Zaun – C
Felix Pie – LF
Robert Andino – SS

wtf is with their sudden refusal to play Reimold? what the hell?
Really, what is going on in Dave’s head?
Boy does that bottom 3rd of the lineup look like 9 outs waiting to happen.

really
i mean first he sits Luke, then Nolan who is hitting the ball pretty well, better then mora. At least he did the switcharoonie with the top of the order, but Nolan needs to be in their, i can understand giving Felix a day, thats good, it gives us speed. But why sit Nolan two days in a row.

It's quite possible
Nolan is sick. It’s not the Orioles have a media entourage with them – it’s the beat reporter for the Sun and that’s it, I’d imagine – one guy. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find he has the stomach flu or some such ailment.
"I don't have a hit-and-run sign, and I believe it's the worst play in baseball." - Earl Weaver
Or could it be
that DT is platooning Pie and Reimold based on lefty/righty splits?

I'm pretty sure it is
As Pie has barely been seen since Reimold got here.

and I don’t think Fordin from MLB.com has been around this week either.

Over/Under: O's score 3.5 runs
I feel an offensive explosion (despite the black hole of outs at the bottom of the order) and go under with 3 runs tonight.
Trembley finally makes some line up moves and screws it up by putting Pie and Zaun in there.Pie has been nothing but a damn distarction since he’s been on the team.Maybe there’s a scout that wants to se ehim play. That would be great news.How i the hell does he expect Reimold to develop with his ass on the bench. And why not have Wieters catch Berken and Zaun and Hill tomorrow? Not fair to Berken to get the B lineup behind him tonight. We know they’re going to lose tomorrow why not put the best line up out there tonight? Fire Trembley and promote Allenson,he’s 17 games over .500
How has Felix Pie been a distraction?
unless quietly accepting a role as 4th outfielder is considered being a distraction.
http://www.mvn.com/oriolecentral
The B lineup?
I think the A lineup has been averaging just about a run a game the last week, so not much of a loss if you ask me. As for Nolan, I think he’s started all but 3 games since he’s been called up. Don’t think his growth has been stunted, but that’s me.
HAHAHAHA
The Rockies signed Adan Eaton to a minor league deal
I think he’ll suck at Triple A too.
http://www.mvn.com/oriolecentral
Hahaha.
Adam Eaton in Colorado?
His ERA is going to be like 40.

Ok, I don't necessarily hate these lineup changes
but if Diamond Dave honestly meant what he apparently told Amber; “There is no rhyme or reason to it” then why make the changes? Jeebus.
"Might as well just win this game." - Adam Jones, 4/17/2008

Wait, what?
Did Dave do something and say “There is no rhyme or reason to it”?
That would make him grossly incompetent or a liar.
Lotta people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well. When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
Good Lord, I'm not calling for his head.
I’m just saying I’d like to hear the manager have a better thought-out reason to shake up the lineup than just to shake up the lineup. Because if he’s making changes and just sort of hoping something will work, well then we stand a chance of getting Lee Mazilli syndrome; different lineup after different lineup.

Oh, I'm not upset at Dave or anything
I actually like two of the moves very much. I just don’t believe that a manager of a baseball team does anything without having some reason to back it up.
Lotta people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well. When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
Maybe he just didn't want to be bothered with explaining it

Baseball is a strange sport
One team can hit, pitch, run bases, and display confidence. The other team can not hit, can not pitch, can not field or run bases. Then it changes around two weeks later. Got to love it.

IF it's a small picture
Just copy the URL and put ! in front and behind it (no spaces)
if it’s a big photo, use the icon with a tree in in. It will produce a code that looks like this:

Between img and src, put something like width=50% and if that’s not small enough, make the percentage smaller.

Orioles Considering Sano?
By Eddie Schmid [June 6, 2009 at 8:35pm CST]
The Baltimore Sun’s Jeff Zrebiec reports that the Orioles invited 16-year-old phenom Miguel Angel Sano to a workout at their baseball academy in the Dominican Republic yesterday. Orioles Director of Player Development David Stocksill came out of the tryout “impressed.”
Sano has been linked most often to the Pirates, who are rumored to be offering as much as $4MM to obtain the coveted shortstop prospect when international free agents are able to sign this July 2nd. Zrebiec notes that the Orioles have never dropped more than $1MM to
"I have seen the future and his name is Matt Wieters." Keith Law
If Stocksill says spend the money
I have a feeling Andy MacPhail will seriously consider it.
"I don't have a hit-and-run sign, and I believe it's the worst play in baseball." - Earl Weaver

I’m 99% sure thats more than we gave Matusz last year as a bonus, and could be more than we spend on any draft pick.

Yeah, but markets correct themselves....
…the teams that invested early in foreign academies got bargains, because the teams didn’t appreciate the value in it. Now, though, everyone knows about the foreign player market, so the bargains are gone.
I would be STOKED if we got Sano
Better than spending $4 million on some shitty 3B this offseason.
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
I'm actually watching this one....
….since, for whatever reason, MLB Network decided that this game should be televised nationally, and I get one of the handful of chances I get to actually watch a televised Oriole game in New York.
And the game sucks, no doubt about it. No chance to watch Wieters, the Orioles getting spanked in both halves of the inning, and sure, it is a lousy game. But one that gives me time to actually think about what I’m watching.
Jason Berken seems like a nice enough guy. But whether or not he is, think about who he is. He’s a twenty-five year old pitcher who has never been a big prospect. He didn’t get invited to spring training. He didn’t start the season in AAA. He’s had a long trip of having to believe in what he’s doing, having to keep doing it even though there didn’t look like much chance it would pan out. And since then, things have been better than you could have dreamed. You make the big leagues, you win your first start, you pitch even better your next time out.
And then this road trip, and your shortstop gets appendicitis and your team stops hitting except for Scott and you just get hammered by a bad team on a hot streak. And it has to feel, I imagine, like you are living this beautiful dream that is slipping away through your fingers.
This game hurts to watch, but I hope when it is over, those kids all look at each other and say “F#%k it”.
ok then
we had a few solid pitching performances and no bats… now we have neither
and Wieters has yet to shine
what a bummer stretch

I was trying to say that you wouldn’t even want your leadoff hitter, the guy who is expected to just reach and run, slugging at such a low percentage, so having a number five guy with that number is pretty pathetic.

but how bout reimold eh? kid has some pop
He should get as much playing time as needed in LF
Or send him to the instructional league and make him a 3B. We need this guy in the lineup. Snyder is the same way. He has a powerful swing and will drive in runs.

The Oakland Broadcast
I am from Pigtown but currently live in California and as such usually have to listen to the away team play by play or broadcast for away games. Today I heard the Oakland guys stating that Baltimore leads a self fulfilled destiny of mediocrity. I know we have had a ruff run oh say the last 11 years, but do we really think it is ok to lose. Not only lose but completely suck while doing it. Im starting to think that we do, its evident with our attendance and media coverage as its very difficult to care about something that doesn’t return the favor. Our player in my opinion just dont work as hard as others do (I went to the Dodgers Philly game today). They are breaking my spirit and heart.
Part of it is....
a significant portion of our lineup is either in a slump or just plain not good enough. I think they all WANT to win.

I have to pick my words carefully due to the sensitivity of people that DO CARE
Camden Chat contains passionate O’s fans that love this team. That is not always the case in our community as we have front running fans and those that will only support a winner. With that in mind I do see a “down” attitude when things do not go our way. But I also see a team with spirit when we are rolling. It all begins sometimes with the manager and I don’t see Trembly as the guy to take us to the promise land.

If you have been an Orioles fan recently you cant be a fan of a front runner, your a fan of the team and the city they represent. I do agree though, its just something about this team right now… Its not just a slump. I love it when they win, but I fell the same way.

Trembley is a teacher and diciplinarian. I don’t see him as a big time manager that can take a team of vets (Torre, Weaver, Martin etc) and do great things and make things happen. That guy is out there and I think by the end of 2010 he will be in place to lead this team and it’s pitching staff to the next and final level. World Series. We are patient.

AMEN Baysox 39.
I can’t stand front runners either Although, I wish there were more people at the games, and I personally would love to help can only go to one or 2 per year due to cost, distance, 2 young boys etc. Its much easier to go to the blue rocks or ironbirds for me.That being said it is more fun without bandwagon jumpers or sox or yankees fans. like i said in my last post, i saw a lot of very, very bad phils teams growing up, and when we finally won it it was up there with getting married and my 2 boys births as the greatest feeling in the world. Bandwagon jumpers could never feel that. God I hope, sometime soon I can see that for the O’s..That would be the happiest drive down 95 for me ever to get a champs hat and shirt..

As good as Oakland looked the last two games
They are still a bad team. Their record is the same as the O’s. We should put all of this in perspective and look long range for both teams. I personally like the O’s upside better than the A’s.
