PrintBaltimore Orioles at Seattle Mariners, Jul 7, 2009 10:10 PM EDT
The Orioles take on the Mariners in a game I'm trying really, really hard to care about. Erik Bedard returns from the disabled list on a 60 pitch limit tonight, and yes, George Sherrill, Adam Jones, and Kam Mickolio, plus Chris Tillman and Tony Butler, were all traded for him. I do believe we've beaten that particular post-mortal equine into the ground.
Look, last night sucked. There's no way around that. But the Orioles, as Peter Schmuck pointed out today, are actually hitting fairly well this year.
Now, for that perspective check I promised. If you want to look at the Orioles offense over the short term, the club averaged 5.43 runs per game in the 21 games leading up to Washburn's performance last night. That's actually pretty good when you consider that the top four scoring teams in baseball -- the Yankees, Rays, Phillies and Red Sox -- score a combined average of 5.39 runs per game.
Tonight brings a matchup of the Baltimore media's favorite whipping boy, Monsieur Bedard, against Jeremy Guthrie. If it's any relief, Jeremy knows he sucks now, too, and he is trying to fix it:
"Execution was where we wanted it to be. It just wasn't good enough," Guthrie told the Orioles' official Web site.
For those of us on the East Coast, it's the last time this season we'll will have to endure at 10 p.m. start time, as this is the last trip west of Minnesota this season. Thank the deity of your choice, Matt Wieters included.
A few quick notes: Dave Trembley said today Rich Hill will be skipped after the All-Star Break, and one gets the feeling it's a matter of days before Hill's told to clean out his locker. Also, Brian Roberts is not in tonight's lineup, leading me to speculate tomorrow will be a full-blown forfeit lineup and one vet had to take the night off today and play tomorrow, or the league office would have stepped in, given the lineup we're likely to field Wednesday afternoon. I really, really hope we win tonight.

i didnt know markakis could balance vaccuum cleaners on his chin
thats freakin awesome. unfortunately, he had to balance the entire o’s offense (or lack thereof) on his chin
Check out Baseball Prospectus today, too
A nice article on the arms in the minors.
This will get you a peek, subscrbers can see the whole thing.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
For me, here's the best quote in the article.
“Nick is definitely one of those guys who’s going to feel the responsibility,” MacPhail said. “He recognizes his importance to the franchise and feels like he has to do everything. We have to make him understand that if you rely on the same two or three guys every night over six months and 162 games, you’re sunk. Our job is to try and get as much talent as we can around him to share the load.”

"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
The thing I like
Is that there are enough of these guys that some of them who stagnate as starters can probably become pretty good relievers — so you’ve not only got the makings of a good rotation, but also of at least part of a cheap, effective bullpen.

To be honest with you
the success of the Mariners has really kind of annoyed me this season. I mean here’s a team that should by all means still be struggling terribly from the Bavasi regime and they’re not. We make these very nice moves and we still can’t compete this year.
Just seems a tad unfair from the baseball gods.

It’s that simple. And it’s a problem that is being corrected in the minors.

A quick html lesson
img src=“mypicture.jog”
We all know that’s the code to display a picture, I do believe. It goes inside <> brackets.
But if you want to make it smaller, try this:
img width=50% src=“mypicture.jpg”
That all goes inside the brackets, of course. Change the percentage to whatever makes it small enough for you.
Some of us on are slow DSL connections, and don’t want to have to download 800×600 pics in a gamthread.

Please just trade Huff instead.
Of course, Andy is being surprisingly open with the media here, so I wonder what his real agenda is.
If it's one of them, let it be Salazar

Agreed
Pie fits an important role and has upside.

We've already got a slightly better Salazar in Wigginton

Well
Yes, there were a lot of things that weren’t perfect about Bedard: he is fragile, he is finicky, nobody could ever remember that his name ended with a K…
But he was just terrific at the end of his Oriole career and his attitude always made me laugh out loud.
My favorite memory is after that near perfect game in Texas when he basically came out of the shower, said he couldn’t care less how many runners he put on as long as we won, and for the reporters to kindly get the fuck out of his way.

Well, rule apparently says 2 bases from where runner was when ball was pitched
not when throwing error was made.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
There's no way
Reimold shouldn’t be awarded home on that. There’s just no way. He’s on second, moving to third when he sees the ball get past the catcher. The ball goes into the camera well and there’s no penalty for that?
Yeah fucking right.
Lotta people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well. When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
Penalty is two bases
from where the runner was when the ball was pitched. Hunter just read it. Reimold was on 1st. His position on teh basdepaths during the throw is apparently irrelevant.

Here's the rule from the MLB rulebook
Rule 7.05
(g) Two bases when, with no spectators on the playing field, a thrown ball goes into the stands, or into a bench (whether or not the ball rebounds into the field), or over or under or through a field fence, or on a slanting part of the screen above the backstop, or remains in the meshes of a wire screen protecting spectators. The ball is dead. When such wild throw is the first play by an infielder, the umpire, in awarding such bases, shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the ball was pitched; in all other cases the umpire shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the wild throw was made; APPROVED RULING: If all runners, including the batter-runner, have advanced at least one base when an infielder makes a wild throw on the first play after the pitch, the award shall be governed by the position of the runners when the wild throw was made. Rule 7.05(g) Comment: In certain circumstances it is impossible to award a runner two bases. Example: Runner on first. Batter hits fly to short right. Runner holds up between first and second and batter comes around first and pulls up behind him. Ball falls safely. Outfielder, in throwing to first, throws ball into stand.
APPROVED RULING: Since no runner, when the ball is dead, may advance beyond the base to which he is entitled, the runner originally on first base goes to third base and the batter is held at second base. The term "when the wild throw was made" means when the throw actually left the player’s hand and not when the thrown ball hit the ground, passes a receiving fielder or goes out of play into the stands. The position of the batter-runner at the time the wild throw left the thrower’s hand is the key in deciding the award of bases. If the batter-runner has not reached first base, the award is two bases at the time the pitch was made for all runners.
So, I guess the key becomes, where was Reimold when the throw left the outfielder’s hand?

Hunter seems to think they're not
but then again, he read the wrong rule, too. He read the part about an infielder’s throw, which can be determined by inital position when the pitch was thrown, not an outfielder throw, which is determined by the baserunner’s position when teh throw was actually made.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
No, he wouldn;t be allowed to poush Nolan home
but if Nolan was past 2nd, standing, loafing, or sleeping standing up, when the ball left the OFer’s hand, he should have been allowed to score. How fast he was running and what base he started at are both irrelevant.

Isn’t that what hapenned in the pine tar George Brett game? that they had to replay from that point? Thats the only example of a team winning a protest I can think of
Wieters is HERE! and the Phillies are in first! Doesn;t get much better
And here's another call the umps get wrong
You can hear the desperation in Palmer’s voice. He almost expects this call to get screwed up.
And it does.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
what was it?
Turned way from the O’s game for a bit
by NickMarkaces on Jul 7, 2009 11:34 PM EDT up reply actions
Ball hit the bat twice
Dude bunted, and threw his bat on the ground, and the ball hit it again as it lay on the ground.
6.07-H, as Jim Hunter just quoted.
This crew doesn’t even know the fucking rules of the game.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
How the hell did the umps get that ruling wrong.
I’m still so pissed about that. It’s one of the most basic rules there is. It sounds like they said Reimold wasn’t pass second although he clearly was. But then it didn’t look like the home plate umpire consulted with any of the other men in blue who would have had a better view of the baserunners.
Furthermore, based on how I read the rules posted above, it seems like even if Reimold wasn’t around second but Luke was around first, then Luke would be entitled third base and Reimold home. How could the umps not think Luke would have reached first by the time the outfielder threw it in?
Did you see the double-bunt?
These umps plain suck….
by wishEYEhadCRABS on Jul 7, 2009 11:35 PM EDT up reply actions
One of the M's
Bunted and dropped his bat in fair territory, the ball hit the bat and rolled a little further, Wieters just walked behind it but didn’t make an effor to throw him out (not sure if he thought it would go foul or what). According to the rules the batter is out if the ball hits his bat a second time in fair territory. Ump either didn’t see it, or didn’t care (or both), so he got a bunt single.
by wishEYEhadCRABS on Jul 7, 2009 11:38 PM EDT up reply actions
Nolan WAS past second when teh ball left his hand...
as the MASN replays showed, so it was an easy call to make. How “hard” Nolan was running doesn’t come in the conversation. This crew blew and easy call, and just blew another one on the ball that hit a bat twice in fair territory.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
And Wieters tried to tell him, and rolled his eyes at the response.

Wacky!
Freaky play though with it hitting the bat bunted! Whats next? I’m afraid to ask!

The rule books says the batter is out because it hit his bat a second time in fair territory
Is this a conspiracy against a last place club?

bunt base hit
the bat went into play, ball hit it, MW thought it was a dead ball, did nothing, bunt base hit..

"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Wieters rips far too early in the count
Going down 0-1/1-2 is annoying.
Just as I say that, Wieters reaches, which shows that he is simply seeing the ball better and just missing on his initial cuts.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

IMO this crew is worse than the one with the redsox. I don’t mind so much when there’s a controversial strike zone as long as it’s not clearly different for both teams. But simply not knowing rules, that’s inexcusable.
It's still good to know that jeter is out if the ball beats him...

"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
The home plate ump
doesn’t even consult with his crew members whilst blowing these calls, it seems to me.
Nope
God forbid they hurt their ego and change a call and DO THE RIGHT THING!
Wieters is HERE! and the Phillies are in first! Doesn;t get much better
Agreed
And the scary thing is until MLB actually pardon my language grows a set and stands up to the umpires union, nothing will change. Its virtually impossible to get fired if you’re an ump!
Wieters is HERE! and the Phillies are in first! Doesn;t get much better
MLB took over the umpires years ago
That’s why they don’t wear AL and NL caps anymore. Sure, they’re an “independent” association, but MLB tells them what to do. The league office could fix this if they chose to.

Why does Jim Hunter never read the full rule?

if it was unintentional contact, the ball’s still live and the runner’s not out. I don’t think he tried to hit the ball twice

it’s up to the ump, it’d be nice if they made it the batter’s responsibility to keep their bat in foul territory (or take the risk of being called out if there’s a second contact)

Get some outs, get his confidence back, and he’ll be useful again.

Regular alignment, he;'s out by a mile.
He got that hit off the shift, not JJ

Cutting off a throw to first
and almost getting his head taken off.

Nolan's throw almost killed Andino
And that was a good hit against a shift for Junior.

Huh? It was a fine throw.
For some reason he was turning to throw to first instead of applying a tag.
Best quote from LookoutLanding
The Orioles threw away every game angainst the Angels and now they’re beating us
I guess they weren’t content with just pillaging our farm system :(

OK, JJ needs a rehab assignment
because he’s lost his shit in all 3 of his last appearances.

Gablehouser: Well, that’s too bad, because the answer your teammate gave was correct.
Sheldon: That’s yoouurrrr opinion.

Nasty Pitch. He had no chance. I am concerned by the HP Umpire.

We almost had an earthquake there
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

That's not sucking
That’s being aggressive about throwing strikes when you can afford to give up a run or eight.
Good night, game over, drive home safely.
And we’ll be back with the LOVELY totals.

Wonder what would have happened if Bedard wasn't on a pitch count
Would we have been embarassed? 3-2 loss?
If only Luke wasn't so christian

What does that have to do with anything?

If he wasn't so forgiving
