PrintBoston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 1, 2009 1:35 PM EDT
A mere 14 hours after the end of last night's historic contest, the Orioles and the Red Sox meet in a series finale featuring arguably the teams' best pitchers. Josh Beckett has been, well, the Josh Beckett the Red Sox hoped he would be this season. He's got nine wins, almost 100 Ks, he's walked only 32 and his WHIP is a fantastic 1.23.
Yet the Orioles counter with one of their two Rookie of the Year candidates in Brad Bergesen. As good as Beckett's WHIP is, Bergesen's is slightly better - 1.22. Sure, the ERA is a little higher, but 3.76 from an Orioles starter is something to celebrate.
Adam Jones is not in the lineup, and anyone who's seen the hit he inflicted on the CF wall last night can understand the need for some rest and a couple extra Advil today. Adam swears he could play today if needed. Gotta love gamers - there's nothing not to like about Adam Jones, son!
More curiously, Melvin Mora finds himself on the bench. Ty Wigginton gets the start. Maybe it's just a case of a 37-year-old getting a day game off. Or maybe not. You tell me.
For Boston, J.D. Drew, who never did get into last night's game, is playing today.
Sunshine hasn't been kind to the O's this year, as they are batting almost 40 points lower, slugging 75 points lower, and have a team OPS that is 90 points lower in the daylight. And they're 6-14 so far this year in day games.
But after last night, you can throw stats out the window. Jonathan Papelbon WAS 20 for 20 in save chances against the O's. Brian Roberts WAS zero for his last, what, 18 before his last at-bat? (Thanks to SidewinderX for the exact number)
I'll leave you with the words of Dave Trembley on Brian Roberts' last at-bat:
"He's 1 for 1 now. And that was a big one 1."

From Roch's blog - Adam's kinda pissed that people think he might have hurt himself.
Adam Jones isn’t in the lineup, but he insisted that he could play if needed.
Jones had just stopped by his locker when I ambushed him, and he didn’t seem thrilled that I was asking about his health. However, as I warned him, reporters will be lining up to get the same update. He’s kind of important to this team.

I love that Adam would be offended that people think
that such a collison with a mere wall would even be capable of injuring him.

Tillman might get a shot soon
Hill has a pretty loose grip on his rotation spot at this point, and Berken may not be far behind.
true but berken actually managed (somehow) to get out of jams
hill gave up the dong instead

hope mora rides the bench more
both have identical statlines (i.e horrible), but Wiggy is clearly the hot hand right now. I’d say split the playing time at 3B 50/50 for now (I know Mora will never be flat out benched) and who ever plays better gets the majority of the ABs for the rest of the season.
Wait, are you
suggesting that a “utility player” be allowed to play his way into a starting role? What the hell is fair about that??
I'm willing to give up his base running decisions though.

Sano news
“If it turns out that Miguel Angel Sano is just 16 look for the Orioles to compete with the Twins and Pirates for his services. Baltimore could out-bid the others, but doesn’t have the same personal relationship with the Dominican shortstop.” – that was on MLBTR today (source was an espn guy)
Two days ago was this:
“Kiley McDaniel tweets that Baltimore is a “serious darkhorse” for the services of Miguel Angel Sano, with the Pirates and Twins still favorites."
Since Hobgood is signed, do you think we actually make a serious push for this guy?

You guys know my BFF, Dave Johnson?
Last night he was saying that when it comes to base running, it looks sometimes like Felix doesn’t even know the fundamentals. He’s always looking behind him when he rounds second and stuff like that.
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
Gary straight out said
“and THAT is why Felix Pie is not playing every day. "
and then said the sane thing about a lack of fundamental knowledge.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
That's pretty silly of Gary. I think him hitting .160 in April is why he isn't playing every day.
His instincts aren’t good but if he hit in April like he’s hitting now, he wouldn’t have lost his job no matter how bad his instincts are. Reimold just took the job and now there’ s nowhere to put him in the lineup when everybody is healthy.
Nolan Reimold
can hit…DEAL WITH IT. That’s why he isn’t playing.
Don't let the sunshine fool ya. - Townes Van Zandt
hmmm
The base running blunder discussion percolates up to the point where the Sun openly questions whether it will cost Trembley a job. Then the dude goes out and gets pegged. Seriously, how much gray matter do you think is up there?
I’m OK with Pie if he can pull it together, but I get Mickey Rivers vibes.

According to gamecast
Pie was out “stretching at 2nd”
Can’t he at least wait until he gets back to the dugout or call time?

Jim Palmer… If you’re Josh Beckett… you don’t like giving up 5 runs, and you don’t want to give up any more. In fact, you’re hoping that your offense will score some runs too… because you’re a competitive guy.
That was amazing.
Actually
I bet Jim Palmer could tell you every single game where he gave up 5 runs, how it happened, and what the final result of the game was. He’s so smug, but his mind is amazing.

No reason to try and farm him out, then.
Reimold seems fine in the outfielder, but no burner. Jones will need some days off, as will Scott. Pie should be able to find a niche as a 4th OF pretty easily if he stays healthy.

Fucking umpires, actually.
Sherrill had Varitek struck the fuck out before the umpire decided it was a walk.

Yeah, the umpires are apparently employed by the Red Sox.

These umpires are in Baltimore.

Is there a website
to see archived pitches to batters? Like if I wanted to look at every AB from this series on like a Game Day setup, could I do that without having to click through the actual MLB game day?

there are shitty calls...
and there is the clusterfuck that was todays game.

I don't think the umpires are the reason they lost
(by the way, I’m saying all of this based on watching on gameday and listening to just a few innings on the radio so no guarantees).
Jim Johnson and George Sherrill are really the reason they lost. The hitters did their job, the starting pitcher did his job. However, it’s frustrating as all hell when you make your pitch over and over and over again and don’t get the call. Or if your opponent doesn’t make his pitch and does get the call. It wasn’t isolated in this series at all. It was continuous. This umpiring crew needs to be seriously evaluated.
