Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Angels (68-44) @ Orioles (47-67), 7:05 P.M.

Los Angeles Angels at Baltimore Orioles, Aug 14, 2009 7:05 PM EDT


The O's look to stay above .500 at home as they go into this series with a home record of 29-28. If I were a betting lady, I'd bet they will not be successful. Actually I am a betting lady, but I wouldn't bet against the Orioles. I wouldn't be FOR them either. I mostly bet on black 33.

Chris Tillman makes his fourth major league start after pitching just a heck of a game in Toronto last weekend. Tillman went 6.2 innings allowing just 2 ER on 4 H. The Orioles lost the game 3-2. Nothing makes me happier than seeing Tillman's name in the lineup, except maybe seeing Brian Matusz's.

Jered Weaver takes the ball for the Angels. Weaver is having a good year and has been the anchor of the Angels staff in 2009.  He does give up runs, he's not unhittable by any means. He also is a fan of giving up the HR so hopefully the offense will be able to break out a bit and get Chris some run support.



 

Let's go O's!

What is that, some kind of veiled Eddie Murray reference?

You racist.

I've thought about this (too much)

All the scoreboard games seem to be a least a little corny, so I figured they would do progessively more difficult things until it got to something ridiculous that Joey would refuse to do. He could come up with some sort of a catch phrase to say once we reach that point.

And i decided I wanted gathright to be called up just for this purpose.

" I’ve changed my mind, i want Gathright to be called up. I’m envisioning a new scoreboard game, perhaps during one of the early innings. Something along the lines of "Can Joey jump over this?" You could could even tailor the things he jumps over to specific opponents or holidays.

and by the way I know how a rundown works…lol…

by O'sFan21 on Aug 14, 2009 8:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

first of all,

wieters didn’t commit. he was about to throw to mora when the runner broke back towards home. at THAT point, witers switched hands and tagged him because he had too.

second, if the baserunner had run into him, he would have had the ball, because witers was about to throw it there and would have gone ahead and thrown it.

i jsut watched the whole thing in slo-mo on tivo. it was a pretty textbook rundown.

He didn't?

Looked to me like he took the ball from his throwing hand and put it into his glove hand, which is what you do when you make a tag.

If the baserunner had run into Mora, Mora would have had the ball? How???? Wieters was holding it.

by O'sFan21 on Aug 14, 2009 8:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

my point is

he switched when the runner reversed course. it was a split-second thing. the runner broke back towards him and matt switched as a result.

re: mora: if the runner had continued to 3B, wieters, instead of switching hands, would have gone ahead and made the throw. and the throw would have beaten the runner.

see above. i’m saying the ball would have gotten there. the ONLY reason the ball wasn’t thrown is that the runner broke back towards home, forcing matt to make the tag.

sigh

are you even watching the replay?

MORA HAD TO SEE THE BALL GO TO THE OTHER HAND FIRST. only then had matt committed. as matt applies the tag, mora starts to see the runner from third, who is practically sliding into him. he’s a foot from the bag, matt is about 5 feet from the bag and charging towards it. there is no way, no way in hell, mora could have backed up lowered his glove for a tag and prepared for a throw in the time between the first runner being tagged and the second runner sliding in.

i don’t want mora on this team, but he did nothing wrong on that play.

I went to playoff games in 96 and 97, but if I’d only known the future I would have paid so much more attention to everything. 97 was my freshman year of college and I was so busy being in college that I sort of slacked off in my fandom.

it's a totally different feeling, and a totally different fandom

when i was growing up, the orioles were the class of baseball and the envy of the bigs.

media was a little different then, of course, but every year you knew the orioles would be in it, and every game they were a tough opponent.

you really looked forward to EVERY SINGLE GAME. there was none of this dread.

i’m looking forward to getting back to those days. wish my dad could have seen some of this turnaround, he would have loved it.
