PrintBaltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays, Sep 29, 2009 7:08 PM EDT
A recent Fan Post marks Nick Markakis as the biggest disappointment of the 2009 season, but for me that honor goes to Jeremy Guthrie. Going into the season there was one person in the rotation that I wasn't worried about, and that person was Guthrie. I never thought he was an ace, but for two years he'd been a reliable, above average starting pitcher.
I don't know what happened. I know that people who know advanced stats better than I do say he pitched above his head in 2007 and 2008, but I don't know. I don't think anyone saw this coming. I was just looking at the projections that were made for him prior to the season and while PECOTA, Bill James, CHONE, Marcel, and ZiPS all projected him to be worse than he was in 07 and 08, it was nothing like this.
I like Jeremy Guthrie a lot and while I sort of imagined he might be pushed out of the rotation in the future, I didn't imagine that we'd go into 2010 with him as a question mark. And yet here we are.
Jeremy will make two more starts this season, tonight and the last game against Toronto on Sunday. While he's looked better lately, he hasn't looked good. Really he's just given up a few less HR. My best case scenario for Guthrie is that the WBC jacked him up and he couldn't recover (although it's been six months!). My worst case is he's Rodrigo Lopez.

im sick and have nothing to do
so for the first time in like two weeks im watching the start of an o’s game
"Chicks who dig home runs aren’t the ones who appeal to me, I think there’s sexiness in infield hits because they require technique. I’d rather impress the chicks with my technique than with my brute strength. Then, every now and then, just to show I can do that, too, I might flirt a little by hitting one out."-Ichiro

You know it's weird...
I couldn’t stand watching the O’s for the last few weeks at home, but now that I’ve moved to Texas, I can’t stand not watching them. Being an O’s fan is a total lose-lose these days. Here’s to next year.
Just because you know how to read, doesn't mean you'll like the book.

Hey!
So BRob with a double and Matty has two hits already!
2 out of 3 of my reasons for watching the O’s! Now if only Nicky could pull his bat out of his ass…
He took a walk in the first
That’s 3 in the last two days, so he’s got that going for him.

Is there any way in the world this is true????
other guy is the george sherill trade is Steve Johnson…
this guy has a delivery were the batter cannot see the ball till late and he has a good fastball along with a slider curve and change…
he was real good when he got promoted to AA and in his age 21 season, he should also defintly be a top 100 prospect in baseball….
No way right?
I don't think so
is that from an actual scout or just some random on the internet?
Some Day, Matt Wieters Will Make The Cooperstown Crowd Laugh By Talking About The Time He Batted Behind Melvin Mora And Luke Scott. -Keith Law via Matt Wieters Facts
just some rando
I figured it was BS but who knows. That would be awesome if both Bell and Johnson end up on the top 100 list.
From the first link on this thread. Some random guy named matt posted that info on Baseball America’s website. Ben Badler though is a legit BA writer and he said Bell should be in the top 100 (see the same link).
"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."
Here is what John Sickels said about him right after the trade
Johnson doesn’t have blazing stuff, but could be a good inning-eater type, perhaps similar to Brad Bergesen down the road. I’d rate him as a Grade B- prospect right now.
Some Day, Matt Wieters Will Make The Cooperstown Crowd Laugh By Talking About The Time He Batted Behind Melvin Mora And Luke Scott. -Keith Law via Matt Wieters Facts
I'm looking at his stats right now
They’re pretty good at Bowie. 12 ER in 38 innings. 37 K and 17 BB. Gave up 3 HR. But his BABIP was really low at .230 where it was over .300 with the Dodgers AA team.

Yeah but top 100 good??
He was an afterthought in that trade I think. Maybe afterthought is too strong…
I don't know
I turned it on at the end of the last inning. Guthrie had runners on 2nd and 3rd and got a pop up for the 3rd out.

The inability to confirm his age depressed his value.

It’s the 2nd largest signing bonus ever given to a Latin American player. I’m sure the O’s would have put up $3.15M if they could confirm his age.

I know this wont be a popular comment but.....
Look, I know GUTS has been really a disappointment in comparison to the last two seasons… BUT….. is a 5.03 ERA really HORRENDOUS?!! I mean, its not “good”, but it isn’t a total dumsterfire either.
He still has a good shot at finishing with an ERA in the 4s, and alot of “decent” pitchers have ERAs in the 4s.

But it’s not just his ERA. His HR are up (a lot), his strike outs are down, his walks are up a bit. His fly balls are way up and his ground balls down.

I remember what happened to the last guy
who called himself “street certified”…
Jim Palmer: "I said to Nolan, 'Why do you run every ball out like that?' and he said, 'Why wouldn’t you?' "

Is it even possible..
That MASN gets good feedback on that retarded commercial with the “moonbounce kid”. Seems like we see it more and more. Bring back the old folks in the chair with the portraits on the endtable already! Ill even take the mom rocking her kid singing “mamas gonna bring you an oriole bird”.
I really hate that commercial.

My hope during games is for...
… Roberts to walk, steal second and score on a wild pitch.
Thats our highest chance of getting a run these days.

Wow
I just got home. Glad I missed this game. I can’t believe Wieters is batting .295!!! THAT IS SO AWESOME!!! And Brob got another double!! Silver linings woooooooooooooooooo!!!
NOOOOOO!!!! DONT SHUT DOWN MCRORY!!!!
McCrory may be next to be shut downShare
Today at 7:25pm
Baltimore reliever Bob McCrory underwent an arthrogram on his sore right shoulder Monday and is believed to be done for the season. Manager Dave Trembley said he hasn’t seen the results of the test yet, but he said it would be doubtful for McCrory to pitch again.
“I haven’t gotten results back yet on McCrory’s arthrogram,” said Trembley. “I would say McCrory is in the same boat. I would say that’s highly doubtful as well.”

Well, I wanted to see the guy end up with an ERA+ below 10
