PrintBaltimore Orioles at Los Angeles Angels, Jul 5, 2009 3:35 PM EDT
So last night's game was pretty awful. I saw some highlights (lowlights?) but thankfully wasn't subjected to the entire game.
O's look to get a split in Anaheim today and it'll be tough. Rich Hill against Joe Saunders. Saunders is having a decent year, but he's undefeated against the Orioles in his career. Think you're special in that regard, Joe Saunders? Get in line. Rich Hill, in case you've forgotten, is bad at baseball.
Adam Jones has been selected as the Orioles representative at the All Star game in St. Louis. Congrats to Adam.
Let's go O's!

I feel bad for Nick tho
He’s been great for several years now and hasn’t gotten a nod yet
He should have been there last year.

Not a bad first inning for Hill
Hunter gave it a ride but other than that.

Once
Hill’s ERA is over 7 he should pack his bags. Also who else thinks its time for Berken to go back to AAA. 85 pitches in 4 innings???? Dont expect much out of your bullpen if you are getting starts like that.
Guys are getting pied Dave Trembley can't explain it
ok
well if he doesnt do well this start he will be entering Adam Eaton land

It should've been 85 pitches in 4.2 innings
If Roberts hadn’t screwed up a double play ball.
Last night was probably one of Berken’s better outings, but it was just death by singles (mostly groundballs).
hmmm
Im not really sure as to why Beckett and Wakefield made it onto the all star game
Guys are getting pied Dave Trembley can't explain it
What the fuck does Angelos have to do with the all-star game?
Goddamn.

Well, for Wakefield, I think it’s a career achievement award more than anything else, the guy has been good forever, so why not let him get in ASG before he retires…and Beckett is well, Beckett.

Why is everyone concerned with Roberts? He is having a great game so far
"Losing teams find ways to beat themselves" Jim Palmer
I was mocking the ridiculous post from earlier.
And I thought you had some ridiculous response to that post by the way.
He did.

"Matt Wieters Adopted Mark Texiera's Parents Because He Felt They Needed A Son To Be Proud Of."
Here it is:
I have watched Brian Roberts his entire career in Baltimore
And there is no bigger fan than me. My GF simply loves him. Many of you are in denial in regrards to Brian’s play this season. The season will continue. Please observe his play, hustle and attitude. Sometimes it is hard to accept the obvious when you develop a "bond" with a player. McPhail should do all he can to trade Brian to upgrade our farm system and turn this "losing attitude" around..
I am glad you posted that.
Now what is wrong with what I said? I am looking long term to break the 11 years of losing. Not focusing on one player and being happy with him while losing for another year. If we can get some quality players for B-Rob let’s do it. I can root for him regardless of the uniform he is in.
"Losing teams find ways to beat themselves" Jim Palmer
Because it's a ridiculous premise.
Trading Brian Robers immediately after signing him to a long-term extension is not a way to get good players to come play for you, or to keep young, good players on the team, like, say, Adam Jones…there’s a reason Mike Mussina left and it wasn’t just because he wanted more money, it was because he saw how terribly the front office worked with guys like Surhoff who wanted to be here, you know.

The front office is the key reason this franchise has lost for 11 straight years
Most of the blame lays at their feet and i am serious about that.

No shit.
We’ve had a string of awful GMs until Andy got here.

Well we all have opinions about what would help this team
I may be right or wrong. Nothing to get upset about. Let’s see how it goes. Hopefully we can turn this season around and win some games and Roberts retires as an Oriole. All of our hearts are in the right place. I never attack anyone for disagreeing with me. It is all opinions and none of us has any power to change anything with the O’s.

Okay. We all love the Orioles. (smile)

It's best three out of five
any kind of shit can happen. And it’s not like the Angels have come through in the playoffs in recent years. They maybe had the best team in baseball last year, and they were still out in the first round.

Well,
it was a neat little move by the O’s to give Hill a shot, but I’d say his time is pretty close to up.
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
We'll be seeing him for awhile though.
They’re not going to get rid of him until they are confident that the other guys are ready. Unless they want to bring up another place holder like Waters or Pauley.
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
probably not.

Pauley, at least, can throw strikes
He’d probably be a candidate for a back of the rotation for an NL team – he was in the Red Sox organization and made a couple spot starts. Sinkerballer who doesn’t have Bergesen’s stuff or an ability to miss bats.

Tillman's been tearing up AAA for longer, though
I think he’s more likely to get the first call. I don’t know if the O’s want to start his service time clock, though.

Right
if it’s a service time question, I understand continuing to use Hill as a placeholder. Waters really doesn’t make sense to use, and Pauley never had Hill’s hype as a prospect. Still, I do wonder if the O’s might be better off giving Pauley a shot sometime soon at Hill’s expense.

I'm reading a book now about a guy trying to set the Guinnes World Record
driving from Tierra Del Fuego to Prudoe Bay…tough ride!
The following is a true story
The night that Nick Markakis hit three home runs in his rookie season, I was driving back to Baltimore from Columbus, OH during game time. The games were still on WBAL and at night you could pick that up starting in Breezewood – but only at the top of a hill.
So I’m driving east, listening to the O’s … and the reception is tremendously spotty for about 90 minutes. Every time the sound came in, there was a home run call. I thought I was getting some kind of weird loop of the prior innings – but no… it was him hitting a new home run every time.

I'll give you a hint
Down and away out of the strike zone to RH hitters.

Oh dear sweet Jesus, that looked like strike 2.

I'm just kind of sad
Ray doesn’t want to suck. He was pretty decent before the surgery, and I’m sure he’s trying incredibly hard to get back. But the results just make me sad. There’s nothing as demoralizing as a terrible bullpen.

Oh, I'm sure he is trying
and he was lights out when he went back down to AAA. It’s just not happening right now, and I certainly hope he can fix it.

So, we're basically going with last night's meltdown again?

Oh, Melvin

Losing teams help winning teams win games
If a winning team needs back to back walks with the bases loaded, the losing team does it.

Thanks.

Hendrickson sucked a starter earlier in the year
I’d rather have him doing what he’s doing now.

You really don't want Hendo back in the rotation, do you?
We have SOOOOOO many better options at Norfolk…
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
They are only options if they are getting call any time soon
in the mean time we might as well throw some shit at the wall and see what sticks. Hendo sucked as a starter early this year, but he’s looked a little better out of the pen, would he be better or worse than hill right now?

I'd rather throw Chris Tillman against the wall and see if he sticks
than Mark Hendrickson.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
I'd rather give Chris Waters another shot than Hendo.
I’d probably take DCab back before Hendo even.

Worse, much worse.
His value is as a long reliever.

Now Jimmy is trying to match Palmer in the vocab department
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
We need to begin making changes after the allstar break
Let’s start to bring up Tillman, Arietta, Patton and see what they can do.
Let’s begin to phase out Mora.
Let’s shop Huff and Roberts and see what we can get for them.
2010 is a half a season away. Winning should be the only option.
"Losing teams find ways to beat themselves" Jim Palmer
Call me crazy, but people need to stop this "Shop Roberts" garbage.
We didn’t just sign him to a pretty new contract to “shop him around”.
He’s here to stay. The Roberts hate needs to end. It’s so annoying and pointless.
+1

No, we WANT to follow the successful business plan
of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Disagree
He got his contract and since then has lost his edge, stopped hustling, just in general got totally complacent. Too many GIDP, too many first pitch swings and called third strikes, too many playable balls going by. Not that I blame him, mind you, but it may be time for a change of scenery. Would that mean Wiggy gets 2B, though…?
and leads the AL in Runs scored
what a tragedy
They ain't tough enough, smart enough or fast enough.

and doubles.
Man, he’s so lazy that he stops at second base, I guess.
Jesus, people are fucking dumb.

"Matt Wieters Adopted Mark Texiera's Parents Because He Felt They Needed A Son To Be Proud Of."
I understand your feelings
My feelings are directed to losing. I want to bring players to this team that will help us win. Roberts is awesome but he is one of the few commodities we have to shop to other teams to get some talent in Camden Yards. Getting our asses kicked like last night and 15 min ago hurts me more than a single player.
Plus there is NO HATE from me. I honest think Brian is one of the most talented 2nd basemen in all of baseball. This is business. That is my point.
"Losing teams find ways to beat themselves" Jim Palmer
Get rid of Brian, you're gonna suck a lot more. A LOT more. I guarantee it.
Not going to be able to find anyone to replace him.
It’s pointless to ever suggest doing anything with Brian. He’s got offense, he’s got defense, and he’s ours.
Hit and miss with your list, IMHO
I’d absolutely bring up Tillman. Arrieta is a September (maybe August) call-up. Patton? Next year.
Phase out Mora? Unless he goes on a August 2008 tear, yeah.
Shop Huff? Sure, but you won’t get enough to make a trade worthwhile.
Shop Roberts? Dude, we JUST signed him to an extension. What are we, the Pirates now?
2010 is the year we start getting respectable. 2011 is the year to hopefully print playoff tickets.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Give Slazar a shot
See if he can do it every day.
Well, the O's do what bad teams do
and did enough to let the Angels win the game.
Sometimes, they make this look a lot harder than it has to, don’t they?
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Anybody got the stat
Runs walked in by one team, season?
I'm guessing it's going to the Nationals, this year.
