Birds Up, O's Down for May 10

PrintHere’s a weekly look at players making an impact, for good and bad, for the Orioles this week:
Birds Up
 |
Koji Uehara (RHP) - He finally got healthy enough to make it back to the big club, and The Delicate Flower appeared in two games, giving up 0 runs in 2.0 IP and just 1 hit and 0 walks for a WHIP of 0.50. |
 |
Will Ohman (LHP) - The O-man pitched in 3 games for 2.1 IP and allowed 0 runs, just 1 hit and 2 walks. |
|
Back-up Second Baseman (2B) - It pains me to say it, but he did bat .538 for the week in 13 AB and drew 1 walk. I doubt it will happen again, but gotta give props were props is due. |
 |
Alfredo Simon (RHP) - The closer appeared in three games this week with 3.0 IP, earning 1 save. He allowed 4 hits and 1 earned run. He's doing his job. |
|
Garrett Atkins (1B) - Sure, he batted .318 for the week, and he actually drew 1 walk, but his teeth are still big. |
|
Brad Bergesen (RHP) - Brad earned his trip back to the Orioles, and while it wasn't always pretty, he got 20 outs on 15 ground balls. Six hits and 0 K's were a cause for concern, but to give up 0 runs in his second outing since his return while pitching into the 7th is highly encouraging. Ground balls are the new strikeout, you know. |
O's down
|
Lou Montanez (LF) - Lou appeared in two games this week. He went 0-for-6 with 1 walk. Next. |
 |
Jim Johnson (RHP) - First he was demoted, now he sees Dr. James Andrews to see if surgery is needed on his ulnar collateral ligament. |
 |
Ty Wigginton (2B) - He was bound for a slump at some point, and this week was it. Ty batted just .172 for the week, and while he had 2 home runs, adding 0 walks to just 5 hits in 29 AB doesn't make for a good week. |
 |
Rhyne Hughes (1B) - Well, it was fun while it lasted. We all knew Baby Rhyno would fall back to earth, but a .091 AVG for the week is a pretty hard crash. Add in 0 walks and 5 K's, and Garret Atkins is suddenly looking like a great replacement. |
|
Luke Scott (DH) - Luke went 2-for-11 with no walks in three games. Yeah, three games. The O's played seven games this week. Message sent, I do believe. |

He's not worth the exclamation point.
I typed it imagining a weary sigh, actually.

I can see how she would argue its a distinction without a difference
but to me they arent at all the same. I frequently find myself trying to catch up on tv because of how much baseball i watch.
No, it's newer than that
like five guys or girls sit in a bus or something together and they one by one go out and meet up with their date and whenever the date gets tired of them he/she says “Next!” and that person is done and the next person comes out of the bus. My favorite is when the second the person sees the other person’s face they are all “NEXT!”

oh
that is post music mtv. i was referencing a time when they played crap in between music videos. “crap” not including MTV Grind. I learned all my dance moves from that show. I got all of no ladies with those moves.
If its on MTV and aired in the last 7 years
i havent seen it. I gave up on MTV entirely once i started college.
I still DVR "Headbanger's Ball" on MTV2
but I don’t think I’ve actually watched it this year. I gave up on MTV years ago.

Isn’t he now our third string second baseman?

Koji gets a bus?
That is a really strange grip he’s got in that photo. Is that some sort of gyroball he’s throwing?

Wowza. Pretty all-around retarded day on the open threads.
You could probably chalk up a few community members on the O’s down section of this article. It seems like folks might be off their game. Or perhaps change the name of the Open Thread to The Idiot Wind. (blowin every time you open your mouth).

Hey, you know who had a great week...
…and deserves inclusion on this list? Nolan Reimold.
Sure, he only played in four games. But he had an OPS of 1.012. And considering that Atkins only played five games and Lugo four, Reimold played his way onto the list, IMO.

Ah there it is.
I’ve been jonesin’ (no relation, son) for BUOD all day! And once again I’m leaving satisfied. Thanks.
Leave Squinty’s big teeth alone!!

High school?
I usually got 7 or so (though I went through a phase sophmore/junior year where I had some hardcore insomnia and only slept 3 hours or so). In college though, I did 3-5 hours a day, usually 4 days straight every week. I survived pretty well on that.

Oh definitely
It depends on what you do while you are awake though. I rarely studied. If I was writing a paper all night, 3 hours of sleep did almost nothing and I felt like crap all the next day. For some reason though, if I had a hockey game and then stayed at a girl’s dorm til they kicked me out at 2am, drove home, and was at class the next day at 830, i’d be fine. Same went with staying at a bar til 1:30 in the am. I guess my mind felt it was worth it, so it wasn’t too hard on me.

did you go to college in the 1950s?

I dated a girl at Immaculata College
which is outside Philadelphia somewhere. Now it’s Immaculata University and is coed, but back in 2004 it was still a girls school. Male guests were not permitted to stay overnight, and security guards would patrol the dorms and kick out males who would be stupid enough to wander out of a room at night.
Another girl I dated went to an all girls school (Sweet Briar) in Lynchburg, VA that was pretty much the exact opposite: there was a Men’s bathroom with a shower on her floor.
My wife and I went to UMd
in the late 1980s and they had an 10 p.m. curfew for boys during the week and midnight on weekends. Hers was the ONLY dorm that did that, but still…

Can't just set 'em up for me like that
But the more creative of my responses would only see the light of day for about 20 seconds, so I’ll just refer to that rainbow/star thingy post downthread. (;-)
You can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever.
Your restraint is greatly appreciated
"Oh, and Joe? If Brian hits any of your delicate millionaires, know that he meant it." - Stacey
Nope
I guess it was poorly worded. I would go to a co-ed dorm where whichever girl I was seeing at the time lived, but if you didn’t live at that dorm you could only stay until 2 AM. When you checked in they took your student ID, and if you stayed past 2 they’d keep it and you’d get a ticket or something. I don’t know. Alot of times I just ran in the front door past the guard and into the stairwell and then booked it to a random floor/room. People were pretty cool about letting me hide for 5 minutes until the guards gave up trying to find me. Then i’d just stay the night.
"You accept mediocrity and you get mediocrity." - Adam Jones, Son!
That is awesome.
Stick it to the man!
I feel like the newest generation of live-on-campus college kids is probably missing out on some of these experiences, given that you now can’t even get in to a lot of dorm buildings unless you swipe the appropriate ID card.
I went to UMBC which not only had co-ed dorms but had co-ed floors. Girls lived across the hall – which I did not take advantage of once. I look back eight years and ask myself, “What the fuck was I doing?”

thought it was kinda nice when i lived there, but really sucked when the girl you were seeing lived in one and you couldnt get it.
i lived on a coed floor my second year and didnt take advantage either. i feel your pain esskay :-(

Q: What the fuck was I doing?
A: Playing Mario Kart 64 until 2am with my roommate and his friends. Sheeeeee-it.

Nope. I started there in 2001!
I guess Gamecube was around by then but we loved that N64. I would kick everybody’s ass at Goldeneye too.

I lived in UMBC dorms freshman year
Patapsco 252! We fraternized with the boys on our floor. They always had beer. Remember you just had to like, flash your ID to the person at the front desk, it didn’t even matter whose ID it was.
nowadays you gotta swipe your card
damn all of this technology

Yeah, I lived in Susquehanna.
1st South represent. Best painted hallway in all of the UMBC dorms with all the cartoon characters.
No matter what time I came in there were always at least three smokers out on the balcony.

whenever I had to write a paper in college...
i always stayed up all night. I would usually get home from school around 11, start the paper around 12 or 1 and just work on it until morning when I had to go to class. Whatever I got done is what I turned in.
The afternoon crash was always the worst. But then, I would usually get a second wind in the evening which could abruptly end at any moment. I would be bouncing off the walls one moment and passed out on the floor the next.
I've been on an absolutely horrible sleep schedule since high school
Most nights probably in the 6-7 range, but on the weekends I would sleep 11-12 hours both nights. Now it’s 5-6 hours a night and 8-9 hours on the weekends.

try being an O'sFan43. It ain't pretty.
"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic
Let's all change our sn's to O'sFan(age)
That won’t be confusing at all! Also, it’d be fun to see if we could still figure out who’s who.

I've always assumed you were 873 years old
You mean you’re not?
"Oh, and Joe? If Brian hits any of your delicate millionaires, know that he meant it." - Stacey
Some people assume I was born in August of '73
I actually have always used 873 for almost everything. It’s cheesy, but my 2 heroes growing up were Cal and my dad (who died when I was 6 and was a cop). His badge number was 73. I also thought it was cool that it was all 3 Ripken jersey numbers as well.

im like you
in the sense that i have varsity football in the fall and JV baseball in the spring. i get home at nearly 7:30 every night so i have to just work straight through to nearly 11 or 12 to keep up with my work though, so im not getting a whole lot of sleep and tomorrow presents me with an american government test. good stuff right?

Eh
I played baseball all year round on 6-7 hours of sleep and it was fine.

i tried running cross country on 6 hrs of sleep with two-a-days
and it didnt work out too well
by twistedlogic on May 10, 2010 11:05 PM EDT up reply actions
yeah
baseball’s not quite the same. I tried to get 7-8 hours the night before I pitched, but I’ve mostly always sucked at sleeping.

jeez
i cant get enough sleep these days. 6 hours just doesnt cut it for me.

I think it's genetic
my dad has been going to sleep at 2-3 AM and waking up at 8-9 for as long as I can remember.

and thanked them in the first edition

Anyway, I love it, and I love that there is occasionally a minor league version of it.
