PrintBaltimore Orioles at Los Angeles Angels, Jul 3, 2009 10:05 PM EDT
Given our recent history with the Texas Rangers, usually I'd say those guys can go take a flying leap, but I so loathe watching the Angels play (no offense, Angels fans) and would so like to see someone else from the AL West in the playoffs this year that I'd really extra love for the Orioles to go out there and essentially give the Rangers a helping hand and beat this team whenever possible.
That goes for you, too, rest of baseball besides the Yankees and Red Sox.
Neither of today's pitchers have available widgets in our system, so let's talk turkey on these turkeys.
David Hernandez (1-2, 4.19/1.81) is back, taking Koji's spot in the rotation. I sort of want to call him "D-Bo." I don't know why, really. I will say that as much as it stinks to see Koji hurting and out of the rotation, I'm glad we're in a position where the guy being called up is one with actual upside.
Ervin Santana (1-3, 7.47/1.85) is also back from the minors. This guy is an enigma wrapped in wrapping. He showed tons of promise in his first two seasons, was awful in 2007, great last year, and now is the worst he's ever been. In his 31.1 innings pitched this season, batters are hitting .344 off of him. This could get offensive.

I'd like to see Hernandez get more K's and go deeper today...
…I can understand when Berken and Bergesen don’t post amazing strike-out #‘s, but he’s a strike-out pitcher and he hasn’t shown that yet at the major league level.
that would be wonderful
I for one, would settle for a W.
I'll accept nothing less than a Perfect Game...

I can't imagine Huff wouldn't fetch something really good at the deadline, not that I want to trade him

I do...
If we can Bedard the team we trade him to
Jioe Flaacco, Hon!!! "He’s like a live JUGS machine."
Wel, if we get a Bedard deal, obviously, you do it.
But the Bedard deals are made in December, not July.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
I'll agree now
But only because the pirates haven GIVEN all their good players away.
Jioe Flaacco, Hon!!! "He’s like a live JUGS machine."
I really, really want to resign him.
Let’s buy a 3B, not a 3B AND a 1B. Huff’s not THAt old, and the Kiddie Corps is gonna need a vet in the clubhouse next year, and I sure as hell don’t want that to be Melvin Mora.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
According to our favorite double loving talking neck
Aubrey wants to be here when this team turns the corner. That’s how confident he is in the direction of this team. He knows he just missed out in Tampa and doesn’t want to miss out again.
Jioe Flaacco, Hon!!! "He’s like a live JUGS machine."
the balto sun quoted him months ago
as saying something like “i would shoot myself” if they traded me and Os got good.
don’t remember exact quote right now
I read the same story
He would definitely resign if we’re close to market price.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
here it is
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/schmuck/2009/02/orioles_huff_stops_by.html
“I spent six years in Tampa and then they got good,‘’ he said. "If I left here and the Orioles did the same thing, I think I’d shoot myself."
Somebody pointed out that newly acquired infielder Ty Wigginton seems to be following the same career path as Huff. He joined the Devil Rays when Huff was there, then went to Houston after Huff was there and now he has come to the Orioles. Which led to an obscure reference to the stalker movie Single White Female.
“Yeah, he’s my fat male stalker,’’ Huff said.
You Never Know
Hey Ed Wades pretty dumb in Houston! Lets try him!
Wieters is HERE! and the Phillies are in first! Doesn;t get much better
Yes, he is that dumb!
Trust me. I could rattle off all he did for the Phillies that was horrible and hes doing the same for the astros
Wieters is HERE! and the Phillies are in first! Doesn;t get much better
And both he and his fat male stalker can play 3B adequately.
Neither will win a Gold Glove, but still….
Nah, we need better than Ty Wigginton at 3B.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail

adam jones
im a girl so i find adam jones attractive so i have to say..is it me or does he have a nice butt? i know it doesnt have to do with baseball but i have to get it of my chest… any girls on here or is it just amber theoharis lovers? hope thats not too Inappropriate lol
and by that I mean...

Quite a few women, but nowhere near gender balanced.

Personally I don't care for Amber
She does a decent reporting job Taking nothing away from her, but I just want to watch the game. Crazy Huh
Wieters is HERE! and the Phillies are in first! Doesn;t get much better
She has bona fide journalism crdentials
UMd Journalism, I believe, and started in Salisbury as hard news, not sports.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
I will refrain from making a joke about hard news.
you can do that yourself.
Nothing wrong with that
All i was saying was that I actually watch to see the game, not her. I’m sure some people watch just to see her and what shes wearing etc. Nothing wrong with that, just not me
Wieters is HERE! and the Phillies are in first! Doesn;t get much better
closr as hell at the plate
how was he safe?
Questionable if he was ever tagged
and also questionable if Brian actually ever tagged the plate
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Anyway!
I’ll take runs anyway we can get em!

Yepe, but there worse on other teams
Look at the Dodgers and mets , just awful on them
Wieters is HERE! and the Phillies are in first! Doesn;t get much better
the slow motion is quite nice.
I thought BRob wasn’t safe, in slow motion he appears to be.
Nothing personal....
but yeah, I deleted the one comment. Any questions, just email me.

8 and 9 hitters
Makes sense.
Probably has a short leash.
You are correct sir.
He got the 8 & 9, the #1 hitter reaches, and sure enough, he’s out. No debate here.
6.2 IP with 3 ER. Not bad, rook. Not bad.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Hernandez still in, huh?
Trembley’s gonna let the rook tell him when it’s time, I guess. If Wednesday doesn’t happen, does David see the 7th inning today?
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
107 pitches..I think Dave played that one perfectly
by kengerhart22 on Jul 4, 2009 12:19 AM EDT up reply actions
I think he got today right.
Let him get the two lowest batters in the lineup, and if he doesn’t get the #1, pull him. Yup, seems like the right call today. I do have a feeling if the #3 and #4 were due up first in the 7th, David wouldn’t have been pitching in it.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Great game, David!
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry

Sure why not
he’s a work in progress.

And we'll throw ALL the positional players at Norfolk?
‘Cause I’m just about ready to offer that for Figgins to play 3B for us. Unless Snyder is there now. They don’t get Snyder.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Figgins is a FA after this year
THe Orioles don’t have to give up anything but money.
So, we'll SELL Norfolk to raise the cash.
Works out great.

Tricky jurisdictional issues
I think a Baltimore sports team trying to auction a city in Virginia might not work out too well, from a legal perspective. But it would be funny to try. I’m tired of those damn Virginians trying to steal the Potomac from us anyway.

What would they name the team?
The Nofolk Tides of California, formerly Virgina, Sold For Chone Figgins And A Buttload Of Cash

And our draft picks will probably be protected
just sayin….

BACK UP THE BRINKS TRUCK
Yeas, I’m being illogical. I really, really, really don’t want the O’s to extend Melvin Mora.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
I don't want us to extend melmo and not keep huff
Huff is better, and really wants to be here
That would be the dumbest combination possible.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
It won't happen
Mora is definitely gone.
Huff probably is too.
I really think Huff stays
We don;’t need to overbid, just be in the ballpark. I really think he wants to stay.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Maybe
But he still could be traded before the deadline, and I’m not sure I want him signed to anything more than a 1 year deal either way.
I could live with up to 3.
He’s not that old.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
He's also not that good
He’s a poor defender and a league average hitter at 1B right now.
That’s a pretty bad player, and he’ll only get worse.
Well, I keep comparingh him to what we had
and compared to Kevin Millar, he’s Mark Teixeria.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Do it
I’ve BEEN saying he’s the 3B to get. Him or Beltre, but Beltre is too spendy.
"When is the last time Jeremy Guthrie hit somebody? Think about it." -- Jim Palmer 7/2/09
good play JJ. Now no more walks.
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
Well, damn, JJ, the wild pitch negates the play you just made!
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Except for the missing baserunner
"When is the last time Jeremy Guthrie hit somebody? Think about it." -- Jim Palmer 7/2/09
Well, getting the runner at 2B keep the DP alive.
And letting him take 2B on a wild pitch takes that away. But yes, 1 baserunner is better than 2.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
SHIT
I smell a sacrifice coming up
"When is the last time Jeremy Guthrie hit somebody? Think about it." -- Jim Palmer 7/2/09
And Palmer reminds us the O's offense went home 4 innings ago...
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
JJ WHAT ON EARTH?
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
How about over the plate, not at the plate
"When is the last time Jeremy Guthrie hit somebody? Think about it." -- Jim Palmer 7/2/09
No, Gary, I think Dave is asking
“Rick, what the fuck is he DOING out there?”
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Remember last year when JJ was The Man?
Yeah, I guess that was last year
"When is the last time Jeremy Guthrie hit somebody? Think about it." -- Jim Palmer 7/2/09
It was this year also
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
I missed that week
Travel, 50-60 hour weeks.
"When is the last time Jeremy Guthrie hit somebody? Think about it." -- Jim Palmer 7/2/09
Look up his last month
and take out Wednesday, and it’s amazing.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
He's been very good this entire year
He’s still a good pitcher.
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
Yes, his entire 2009 (minues Wednesday) have been good
but for the last month, minus Wednesday, Johnson and Sherrill have been amazing. Sherrill had a 0.50 ERA in his 20 appearances before Wednesday.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
This is ridiculous
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
whew...
insurance runs, please?
Gablehouser: Well, that’s too bad, because the answer your teammate gave was correct.
Sheldon: That’s yoouurrrr opinion.

Haha dying crowd noise
"When is the last time Jeremy Guthrie hit somebody? Think about it." -- Jim Palmer 7/2/09
because it's a defining moment
deal with it!
Well, at least Reimold hustled on his way to being out at 1B

Still blaming Miggy
“I’ve heard a lot of things out there that are wrong,” he said. "People saying I took drugs all my life, I’ve never touched anything. I worked my butt off my whole career, as a kid, in college, the big leagues, I didn’t need anything, I didn’t have to cheat at the end of my career, for what? What was I going to gain from it? Whatever I took was tainted, had to have been. There’s no other reason unless I got set up.
“What I took was a B-12 [vitamin] that was given to me by a teammate. That’s it. That was it.”
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
A complete non-issue
meaning, they’ve done their jobs well.

Was watching on gamecast
"When is the last time Jeremy Guthrie hit somebody? Think about it." -- Jim Palmer 7/2/09
Damn, Figgins does have a pretty good arm.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
I like our chances
That’s as far as I will go.

You want to take the post-game or shall I?
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
you can if you want
I’m tired

a little dicey but Nice Win
lol @ Huff when asked by Amber wasn’t it nice to see George get the save. Huff- “has it been a while?”
"Come on James Walker, making fun of Browns fans? That's like waiting outside a middle school for the short bus to arrive so you can try out some "new material."
lol beat me to it

Funny thought...the umpiring was awfully good tonight
how many games have we lost to bad, incompetent, biased umpiring? Like last night.
According to Dave Trembley
David Hernandez pitched a great game.
Ahem.
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
Yeah, and Dave is the one calling all those hit and runs
with Aubrey Huff and Melvin Mora. So consider the source.
