PrintKansas City Royals at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 28, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Now it's Jason Berken's turn. Jason has to know that either he or RIch Hill is going to be replaced by Chris Tillman. Hill had his chance last night and stunk up the joint. By pitching even competently against a team with one of the worst offenses in the American League, Berken can make a case to stick around for a few more starts.
If we don't win tonight, the Royals will have clinched at least a split of the series, which would be really, really demoralizing.

Tonight's opposing pitcher
When I see Brian Bannister, I see Brad Bergesen. The reasons are pretty obvious. Bannister is finding some career success despite having weak stuff. But on the other hand, when you’re that hittable, the margin of error is low, so you might have some clunker seasons (2008). Without researching it at all, I think 3E might have a similar career track as a mid-to back end of the rotation type of guy.
So it's not just that both their initials are BB? ;D

or that they are both good pitchers on horrible teams?
Matt Wieters can get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop in under one lick.
all of this is true!

Well Berken
Hope you don’t suck as much as Hill, but your track record offers not much hope.

and we’ll be stuck with RICH HILL!!!

If they want to win the WS this year
they need better starting pitching. With Becket, and Lester they have two very solid starters, but I’d say Penny’s iffy, and it may be a little early to try to rely on Bucholz as a #3, and Smoltz has been pretty ineffective. Dice-k and Wakefield are also still ?’s, so as of today they only really have two and a half to three solid starting pitchers in the rotation.

Who is calling pitches for this train wreck????
How many times does a guy have to foul off your fastball before you go to something else??? Nah you just call for another fastball that will inevitably end up in a bad spot and watch it sail over the fence.
I think the problem is
All his pitches are about the same speed, and right now, none have much movement.

You're probably right
Although I keep reading that the main beef teams have with Baez is that he hasn’t pitched on back-to-back days much, so maybe Andy will throw him out there and see what happens.

But any competition that is “won” by Eaton in Hendo had some pretty terrible competitors.
Simon DID make the rotation

I have no beef with AJ
He should be swinging for a base hit, not trying to punch the ball the other way and effectively bunt the runner over.
Huh???
Sorry but that’s awful baseball if you really believe that. It’s the 7th inning of a 1 run game. You get the guy over. Especially with 2 strikes.
You want him to move the runner over
So why have him try to punch the ball the other way (which no batter can do every time) when he can just bunt him over.
You want to make an out to move the runner over, so why not cut out the middle man and bunt the ball?
which no batter can do every time???
WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT EVERY TIME? I WANT IT DONE THAT TIME!
Good teams move runners over. He should have done it.
Win expectancy
Bottom of the 7th
Home team up by 1 run
Runner on 2nd base, no one out: 84.7%
Runner on 3rd base, one out: 84.4%
You want him to do something that makes the Orioles less likely to win the game?
Baseball analysis has come a long way since the 50s, dude. Adam is one of our best hitters and he should be swinging away and not handcuff himself with some silly outdated shit.
Hypothetical win % are great and all.
But the bottom line is if AJ gets the job done we’re winning right now.
Also WTF are you talking about?
The win expectancy numbers that you should be comparing are runner on 2nd and 1 out versus runner on 3rd and 1 out.
Why?
I’m arguing that its a bad play for Adam to give himself up to move the runner over.
The goal is to move him over, rather than get out and have him still there. Which is what he did... you know...
Sherrill is going for a save right now if he gets it done. You can say it’s outdated or whatever, but that’s the facts of the situation. If we lose this game that’ll be a huge reason.
If he's gotta get out...
sac fly to right would have been cool.
Or a fucking groundball to the right side.
Instead of trying to pull an outside pitch like a rookie.
WTF, JJ?

Last year was one of the best non-Mariano Rivera reliever seasons I can remember.
And it’s not that he’s really bad this year, it’s that he was so good last year that it skews our perceptions of him.

I was actually at the game tonight
had to leave to get up for an early day tomorrow and they still won’t end this shit! I wish i was still there though and didn’t have to get up tomorow
By the way in Baltimore..
Are they saying heavy all dayrain for tomorrow? They are here in PA, just curious as if it rains I’ll probably get to see Tillman/Grienke when I go on Thursday!

Although it was supposed to rain tonight as well. But look how that turned out.

If it wasn't for bad luck, this team would have no luck at all, I swear to God.

Fuck that.
We make our own luck. If they pretend to be major league hitters earlier in the game we’re not playing any more and there’s a W in the book.
Can't beat Boston or the Yankees..OK..rebuilding...can't beat the Royals? What does that say?

You do realize how fucking terrible the Nationals and Padres are, right?

I've stopped watching
Sometimes I just don’t want to see my team blow it in extra innings.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Let's go, Matt.

Supposedly next year too, but we’ll see.

This always happens in baseball
A ball will get by a player because he misplays it or it’s overthrown and instead of sprinting back to get the ball, they leisurely jog to the ball while a runner is rounding the bases. Wieters casually jogged to the ball when Markakis’ throw went over his head on the bounce off the mound. John Buck would’ve been out at third if Wieters hustled to the ball. Fortunately Buck didn’t score but these are the small things this team needs to do in order to win again.
BK
There are two outs, he'll score from second anyway.

I was watching
and I don’t think Wieters was jogging at all. He’s just really really slow.

4 hits for Matt
All singles, but a nice day regardless.
Yes
He hit a hard liner off the scoreboard, but was held to a single.

Smart Matt
Probably would’ve been out at second, nice night matt!

Fundamentals are costing us this game.
Inability to bunt and inability to move a runner over. Pretty simple stuff.
Can anyone remember the last time Brian didn't swing at the first pitch in a late inning situation??
Not off hand
He almost always swings at the first, but he just took that pitch there for 0-2

Sure, he takes a pitch if it's right down the middle

Has anyone seen this?
TUESDAY: Paul Hoynes reported earlier that the Dodgers might be shifting efforts from Cliff Lee to Sherrill, and Gordon Edes at Yahoo agrees. Edes says the Dodgers could package Elbert as well as third baseman Blake DeWitt to fill in the Orioles’ immediate needs. He also lists the Phillies among four other teams interested in Sherrill.

I can't believe i watched 11 innings ...
