PrintKansas City Royals at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 27, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Rich Hill, are you ready for your close-up?
The tall, lanky, and so far unsuccessful curveballer goes for the Orioles tonight, and it’s no exaggeration to say this start might determine his employment with the Orioles. His Win-Loss record is a pedestrian 3-3, and that hides a horde of ugly numbers behind it. 7.64 ERA. 1.83 WHIP. Almost as many walks (37) as strikeouts (45).
As Rich Hill looks for a light at the end of the tunnel, he’s looking at a freight train named Chris Tillman. Dave Trembley won’t officially announce it (although the O’s website already has), but everyone and their grandmother knows Chris Tillman starts Wednesday for the Orioles. And some has got to go. And Dave Trembley has let Rich Hill know the seemingly-endless patience he’s had up to this point is indeed finite:
"I would say he’s had a tremendous opportunity here and has been extended every measure of patience by all of us," manager Dave Trembley told the Orioles’ official Web site. "I have to look at the situation for what it is and see what we can do to make it better."
Hill has a few factors in his favor, the first being he’s out of options. If the Orioles want to let him go, he’s gone, baby, gone. Unless no other team thinks they can make him a serviceable MLB pitcher, and with that curveball, some one will, and unless he decides after 29 other teams pass on him that Norfolk is a nice place to spend the summer, this may well be the last time we see Rich Hill.
So, as Cecil B. DeMille may well have asked… Mr. Hill, are you ready for your close-up?

I wonder if Palmer will be on TV
the last time I watched Hill start on TV, Palmer had a lot to say about him… kept tearing him to shreads in fact
Why do I feel like this is going to defy the odds and end up with a 2-1 final?

Or just e-mail him the YouTube link to that Manager's Corner
Host Tom Marr: Bill Whitehouse, Earl, from, uh, Frederick, Maryland, wants to know why you and the Orioles don’t go out and get some more team speed?
Weaver: Team speed? For Christ sake. You get fucking god dammed little fleas on the fucking bases, getting picked off trying to steal, getting thrown out, taking runs away from you. You get them big cock suckers that can hit the fucking ball out of the ball park, and you can’t make any god damned mistakes.

Did you want him to stop while picking up the ball?
"On my tombstone just write, THE SOREST LOSER THAT EVER LIVED." -- Earl Weaver
huh???
No I wanted him to get rid of it faster! ya know…instead of taking the 3 additional steps after picking it up before throwing…like a dumbass with 8 kids at home…
its called momentum
when you’re running like that, by the time you get the ball, pull your arm back, and throw, it takes a couple steps.
"On my tombstone just write, THE SOREST LOSER THAT EVER LIVED." -- Earl Weaver
That's the explanation for his continued movement. yes.
But most third baseman (non-jackasses) throw the ball in one motion as they pick it up…have ya noticed??? It most certainly does not “take a couple steps” – it is a single motion.
I mostly watch the O's
so I beleve that Mora is a good fielder
"On my tombstone just write, THE SOREST LOSER THAT EVER LIVED." -- Earl Weaver
haha
This is true – that’s understandable. Well that play sucked. He took forever to get rid of the goddamn ball.
It looked reasonable to me
having played 3B, you can get wrongfooted sometimes. I’d have to look at the reply to tell, but I really don’t want to, so I won’t

This is one of the biggest game threads I have ever seen and this loud mouth hasn’t even been posting!
we suck
we’re really going to lose scoring only 3 runs in a game started by Bruce fucking Chen. You’ve gotta be kidding me. This lineup is the most frustrating thing to watch. One day good, 3 days terrible.
and the mets just tied the rockies
fuck me
i have 20 cents riding on that game
do you use centsports?
or are you into strange 20 cent bets with your friends

Man that site
I spent some time on that site this year, got over $20 and tried to cash out but you have to have a better “formula” than other people in order to cash out. I eventually just gave up, but i still have $26 bucks on my account apparently.

They do a bunch of calculations like # of bets in the past 30 days, win percentage, bet amount and some other stuff. Either way I always seemed to fall short.

yeah i don't expect to really make much money
what does a better formula mean?
i figure i might as well bet with imaginary money rather than what little real money i have
Its fun to do
The first time I got above $20 i got greedy and ended up losing everything.
The second time I got above $20 i got greedy and made it up to $80 and then stayed greedy and lost it all.
The third time I got above $20 I actually tried cashing out and the lameness ensued so I gave up on the site.
My friends laughed at me pretty bad when they found out I lost it all from $80.

that's rough
i dont like betting on baseball that much, ya know, because one swing can change a game, but what else is there to bet on this time of year.
I do stay away from betting on games in which im rooting for a team. classic conflict of interest in some cases
betting on baseball
I learned quickly that was a bad idea. I always lose those bets it seems. NBA and NFL were much easier for me because there is a bigger gap between good and bad teams.

I’ve been trying to see the positives. You’ve heard how the O’s have been leaving games on the table against this recent run of better teams. A bit more pitching and fewer boneheaded plays, or a bit more pop in the lineup and things are looking up.
Well, now I see the team has all the talent to play the same against the Royals and end up with another loss.
And again: remember that tonight's starter was Rich Hill
