'He's the guy': A lot rests on Wieters' young shoulders - baltimoresun.com
Matt Wieters is no longer the new kid in town and he's ready to take on a big role on the team in 2010. Also, I know they are usually reserved for veteran players but I think this article might be our first official "best shape of his life" of the spring. -Stacey
Fight for Fifth
Baysox.com looks at five former Baysox as candidates for the fifth spot in the rotation: Chris Tillman, Jason Berken, David Hernandez, Troy Patton, and Jake Arrieta. I'm not sure what baysox.com is smoking, but they seem to be enjoying themselves over there. -Stacey
Orioles Team Report - MLB - Yahoo! Sports
Yahoo! has been very complimentary of the Orioles this off season and this team report is no exception. I'm bothered by the fact that they say Jim Johnson's season ended early due to arm problems and that he'll be fighting to return to form. JJ never spent any time on the DL and in fact pitched in three of the team's final five games. Things like that make me wonder what other misinformation I'm being fed that I just don't know about. -Stacey
Regarding Matt Albers' weight | Examiner.com
Jay Trucker wonders if Matt Albers will be in the best shape of his life coming into spring training but guesses probably not. He comments on people calling Matt "Fat Albers," when he stinks up the joint but does not point out when he pitches well and we call him "Phat Albers." Shame. -Stacey

PressBox: Media Guide: Not All Are Happy Marks Is Departing
I find this article extremely annoying. The writer, Dave Hughes, says that some advertisers are not happy Anita Marks has left 105.7 because she's "good looking and willing to do lots of promotions," and at the same time the comments received by listeners glad to see her go had a "strong hint of sexism." Anita Marks relative attractiveness aside, the fact is she had little knowledge of Baltimore sports and her personality bordered on infuriating. It's possible these comments were sexist, I don't know. Only one example is given: "Thank god she's gone. ... She wouldn't have gotten out of my Broadcasting 101 class. A horrible experiment mercifully ended. I can tune in to 105.7 in the afternoons again." That's not sexist at all. Overall I just think it's pretty ridiculous that in the same article it's noted that those who liked Anita liked her because she's a woman and those who disliked Anita disliked her because she's a woman (and I'm not sure either of those things are even true). I mean, I could probably talk about this all day, but I won't. -Stacey
And on this day in Camden Chat history....zk rounds up the spring training news in 2006, SC previews the Devil Rays in 2007, Reddrummer9187 wonders if Jeremy Guthrie can repeat in 2008, Titov posts some Roger Clemens slam poetry, and 7Swords of Salat says ZAUN five hundred times in 2009.

Oh, Nats
As I mentioned on my blog last night, I just bought my first pack of 2010 Topps cards. This year, they’ve included “Franchise History” cards in the set. Most have a photo on the front showcasing a recent great moment in team history, like PHN celebrating a postseason win. (I think the O’s at least have Cal’s 2131.) I pulled the Nationals team history card and it’s just a photo of their cheesy new mallpark.

Hey, Russia:
Ladies and gentlemen,
take my advice:
Pull down your pants,
and don’t win any figure skating medals, you snobby, whining, self-entitled douchebags!!!!
Sorry, I was a bit on edge just now. But I’m REALLY REALLY REALLY tired of this country’s undisguised claims to some imaginary authoritative status on all matters pertaining to figure skating, which is a “sport” right up there with ballroom dancing anyway.
There, I feel much better now.

Regarding Ks at Camden Yards
anybody else think it has anything to do with the batters’ eye? The ivy covered wall in center has to be one of the biggest batters’ eyes in the majors. It seems like it gives the hitters an amazing backdrop to pick up the ball out of. I always wondered about that…
Not what do you mean?
Are you saying that batters at Camden Yards don’t strike out that much because of the batter’s eye? I’m not sure I’m buying that…
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
Yes
What’s not to buy? If you can see the ball better at Camden Yards (because of the bigger batter’s eye) having less strikeouts would be logical.
I might have to agree to some extent. Look at the ballpark in arlington and how well texas hits.
"On my tombstone just write, 'The sorest loser that ever lived.'"
Earl Weaver
Well
For one, prove that it’s a significantly better (not just bigger) batter’s eye. Then normalize for the pitching talent that is usually on the hill and the batting talent that is usually in the box compared to wherever else. I mean, I guess it sounds like a nice theory, but how would you even go about finding out if it’s a “better” batter’s eye? And what about potentially an approach from the coaches on putting the ball in play? Wouldn’t a better eye also lead to more home runs? But it isn’t like the Orioles have had a home run hitting team in a while.
I mean, there’s just so many factors at play, I have a hard time believing that it all comes down to the batter’s eye.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
It was a hypothesis – not a stated fact. Obviously there are a number of factors at play, but just looking at a bunch of google images of stadiums quickly CY has by far the biggest batter’s eye and as far as quality I don’t really see that as an issue since they are all pretty much the same – usually green things (either walls or hills of grass/ivy).
Also
I didn’t say it was THE responsible factor – I just asked if anybody else thought it had anything to do with it.
chill down
I was just replying. It’s an interesting theory, I suppose…but I just have some strong doubts. How big does a batter’s eye really need to be, anyway? I’ve never stood in the batter’s box of any stadium, so I have no idea, but there has to be a point where size stops mattering because balls just don’t flow through too large of an area.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
At the risk of inviting a "that's what she said"
I think it’s a situation where “the bigger the better” would apply. Pitchers have all different kinds of release points and stand in all different spots on the rubber, so if a guy can stand and throw in a way that gets the release window outside of the batter’s eye it can really screw things up for a hitter.
in the end you still have to have people who can hit.
We know mcgwire, bonds, and a-roid, a-fraud, a-hole could hit before but the roids made them THAT much better and stronger

Jim Palmer wanted to pitch Sunday day games at Memorial for a reason
All those white houses in the background gave him an edge. I’m not saying it’s a significant factor (if it was, wouldn’t the O’s offense benefit from 81 home games?) but it is possible to be a factor.

So
I was gonna buy myself a Felix Pie t-shirt on the orioles.com and their custom player t-shirts are $36.99. For a t-shirt? Am I wrong in thinking that is pure insanity?

I had the same reaction.
They were $30 last season, and still were that price just a month or so ago. I’m hoping it’s just an error or something and it goes back to $30 in a few days or weeks. $30 was a bit expensive, but $37 is just getting silly.

I would wait
and try and find a cheaper one at or near the stadium but I’m planning a trip down to ST and wanted to take it with me. Oh well I guess I’ll make do without. I think I’m going to have to shell out for Pie anyway if I want it, it’s not like they stock them next to the Wieters and Markakis tees at Modells.

I was going to do the same thing, Stacey
Does Pie have a t-shirt Tuesday this summer? I don’t even know if they put out the Tuesday schedule, but it changes during the year, I believe.
Anyway, yeah its too expensive. But about a month ago, I got a pretty nice black/gray hoodie from Cooperstown Collection, with the Orioles old school schript in black felt with a gray tackle-twill outline. I’m gonna spend about $10 and get a number five and Robinson put on the back in the same style. I ended up getting the hoodie for free because a customer (or fired employee, I dunno) left it there and never claimed it.

They have up which days are going to be T-shirt Tuesdays, but nothing about who’s getting one. If it’s like it was last year, they don’t decide who the T-shirt will be for until a few weeks before the game. It’s too bad they’re all XL; I went to Reimold’s last year, but can’t really wear the thing. :P
Weaver's Fourth Law: Your most precious possessions on offense are your twenty-seven outs.
Yeah it's all one size shirt
Logistically I understand but all of the t-shirt tuesday shirts are too big for me so it’s a bummer. I’ve given them all to good will (other than Markakis and Millar) because what else am I gonna do.

If I get any this year, they're yours :)
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
I guess they figure if it's big more people can wear it?
I mean I see people wearing them all the time at games. I tried washing them in hot water and drying them on high to shrink them up. That helped a little bit but they were still way too long. But they’re men’s shirts and I’m short so there isn’t much hope. It’s cool though, I wear my Nicky shirt as pajamas because I love him.

I enjoyed Mardi Gras, but it was kind of a family thing.

I really
need to sit down and watch a game with somebody who can explain what the hell is going on that people get excited about other than shots on goal/goals. Otherwise it’s just a lot of passing back and forth to me.
i mean...hits are pretty exciting
except when they are cheap shots. i love how the blues announcers try to qualify this as just a normal interference on an unsuspecting player. even espn called that for what it was…a fucking elbow to the head.
but i guess fans cheer mostly cuz its a fast-paced, physical game that requires amazing skill. almost every player in the NHL is incredibly skilledand athletic.

I'm not taking anything away from Ovechkin
I love watching him. The guy is just insane (as are Sid, Malkin, Kovalchuk, and a bunch of other guys from the current crop). No matter the sport though, i’ve always been more gung ho about the great defensive plays, and that’s most true about hockey.
And in my opinion, fighting is part of what ruins and marginalizes hockey, and I wish they’d do away with it.
i dunno
fighting is and always has been part of the game. its very easy to injure (as that first link i posted shows) someone in hockey since you are moving so fast and have exposed areas such as the head. you gotta stand up for a guy who takes a hit like that. the other fighting i’d like to get rid of. its not really (IMO of course) a momentum shifter, although the hockey purists will likely tell you it is.
by twistedlogic on Feb 16, 2010 10:12 PM EST up reply actions
I don't know about that.
It’s really easy to injure people in baseball (fastball at the head) and football (diving at people’s knees) too and those sports seem to do just fine with much less fighting.
Why couldn’t hockey just deal with it like those sports do? If a pitcher buzzes or hits one of your guys you buzz or hit one of their guys – if somebody takes a cheap shot you take a cheap shot back. Why do they need to drop gloves and punch each other in the face over and over again?
you've never seen a brawl before?
but thats what i like about hockey. most guys WONT take that cheap shot back. two wrongs dont make a right. a quick (well usually…unless you’re alex semin) fight does the trick.
by twistedlogic on Feb 16, 2010 10:26 PM EST up reply actions
Right
they happen a few times a season.
Why is a fight better than returning the cheap shot? I mean it’s clearly more entertaining (just like a brawl is more entertaining than a retaliation HBP), but why is it preferable other than that?
lol i was just making a joke
but cheap shots are how guys get hurt and generally, retaliation shots end in suspension (see green, mike). fights are quick, usually painless and that ends that. its not like getting an elbow to the face and then retaliating with an elbow to face that knocks a guy out like cam janssen did on brads there.
by twistedlogic on Feb 16, 2010 10:53 PM EST up reply actions
Well
the cheap shots, as opposed to fights, only end in suspensions because that’s the way the league deals with it. In baseball brawls and cheap shots both end in suspensions/fines/etc. I don’t know that fights are so harmless – plenty of people break jaws/noses/eye sockets/hands, lose teeth, require stitches, etc from fighting.
But also if the point is to deter cheap shots wouldn’t fines and suspensions be the way to do it? I’m not sure the threat of getting into a fight really deters anybody from doing anything.
its not to deter cheap shots
its just a way of retaliating without risking serious injury (i’m sure you can find the stats on it somewhere, but i havent heard anybody getting a serious fighting injury in the NHL in a while). the only thing that will stop cheap shots is long suspensions. however, those wont really stop some people.

WHY DO YOU ALL KEEP TALKIG HOCKEY

"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic
I don't know
anything about the seriousness of injuries from fighting as opposed to cheap shots, but my point is more that if it’s the cheap shots that lead to fights there must be a lot of cheap shots going on since there are so many fights. So I don’t see how the fights prevent any injuries resulting from cheap shots if the fights are in response to the cheap shots. Are you saying that if not for the fights the cheap shots would be more severe and would result in more serious injuries?
And if suspensions won’t stop people fighting them surely won’t stop them either…
Child, please
You have lost ALL credibility when you compare Malkin to Ovechkin in terms of highlight reel goals.
THIS is the sickest goal scored in the NHL in the last decade. Prove me wrong.
OK, maybe it’s THIS one instead.
