Orioles Insider: Trembley's 8th inning decisions
"Trembley didn’t want Bergesen to get a loss after pitching so well." Oh, well let's manage the game according to a useless statistic, like WHO GETS A 'W' NEXT TO HIS NAME. -zk
Oh, and let's bring in Mark Hendrickson, whom lefties are hitting .333 against, and take out Jason Berken after one batter, when lefties are hitting .194 against him this season. BRILLIANT! -duck
The latest implosion - MASNsports.com
"Cla Meredith, who didn't start warming until a few batters into Hendrickson's outing, served up the bases-loaded double. As if the Orioles can handle another kick in the groin. This one will really hurt." So Meredith wasn't even warming up when Hendo started pitching. And we bring him in to put out the fire. That's Manager of the Year material right there. -duck
The Schmuck Stops Here: Orioles: Fifty ways to leave a loser
"The Orioles are way past worrying about who gets the wins and losses. If Bergesen had the best chance of retiring the next batter, he should have still been in there. The fewer relievers you have to use, with a series ahead against the highest-scoring team in baseball, the better." It's getting so bad, Peter Schmuck is starting to make sense. -duck
The Schmuck Stops Here: Orioles: Tillman's return
Chris Tillman is rejoining the team today and is expected to start Saturday. Official news of his promotion should be out later today. -duck
Will Ohman of the Baltimore Orioles was an unlikely option for save chances - Fantasy Baseball - ESPN
Some fantasy guy tips you off that Will Ohman may become a regular closer, despite the fact that he's always been a LOOGY. Guess this dude never heard of George Sherrill. -zk

Jones finds fire further down in the order | orioles.com: News
"Adam Jones entered Thursday on a career-best 12-game hit streak, a stretch in which he was 14-for-45 (.311) with a pair of doubles, one triple, two home runs, six runs scored and seven driven in." It isn't All-Star material, but it's a lot better than he's been doing. -duck
Stork comes calling in O's nest | orioles.com: News
Tucker Edward Markakis was born yesterday to Nick and Christina Markakis. The baby boy weighed 7 pounds, 1 ounce at birth. Nick is expected to rejoin the team in Toronto today. Not much paternity leave there. -duck
Capitals outfielder wants to play ball, forget sordid affair
"You work your whole life to get to (the majors) and once you do, you realize there's a few things missing if you want to stay there." Larry Bigbie gets real. -zk

The Blue Jays are looking at the Orioles as a chance to break a slump. Of course they are. -duck
IN THE MINORS
Orioles Insider: Minor league game recaps -- May 27
Norfolk lost as Kam Mickolio gave up a walk-off 3 run home run, Bowie lost in extra innings, Delmarva lost as the fielding woes continued (starting pitcher Luis Noel made 2 errors himself) and Frederick had the night off. Feel-good story Kieron Pope went 2-for-4 with a RBI for Delmarva. -duck
Minors: Homer-happy this season, Baysox slugger Joel Guzman keeps alive his dream of returning to the big leagues
Now with his fourth organization, the 25-year-old Guzman is cranking out home runs at a career-best rate this season. -zk

Wait, wait, wait.
Berken pitched to one guy, got an out, and got pulled in favor of Hendo?
…Seriously, Dave?
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
What really bothers me about this
is why did he put Berken in there for just the one batter anyway? In the post game Trembley showed a truly stunning lack of intelligence when asked about Hendrickson not getting lefties out (“you have to go lefty vs. lefty there”), but he also said that he wanted some experience in that situation. So what made Berken “experienced” enough to come in with 2 on and no outs in the 8th? Why bring him in for just one guy? What was the point of that?
And what the fuck is this experience jive about anyway? And why the fuck are we letting stats dictate the way we fucking play baseball? Bergesen was removed so that he could still get the win even if the inherited runners scored. That was the given explanation for removing Bergesen – they wanted him to get the W. Is anyone else quite as goddamned outraged about how stupid this all is as I am?
Seriously, he used 5 pitchers in the last two innings, because of how it would look on their baseball cards, because of phantom platoon matchups that he doesn’t understand, and because apparently experience is what is called for in the late innings with your bullpen (which is such bullshit that I can’t even see straight). Alfredo Simon didn’t have experience in the late innings, and while he wasn’t exactly great, he got the job done – you know why? Because experience doesn’t fucking matter. Or it shouldn’t. If that’s the way he manages, all it will do is make those innings more stressful on whoever he puts in there.
God damn it. It’s the next morning, and I’m still steamed about this shit.
"The wise man saith, 'Put all your eggs in the one basket and--WATCH THAT BASKET.'"
Why are we letting stats dictate how we play?
That’s the problem, we are – just the wrong ones.
Wins for a starter mean more than a .150 point disparity in lefties BAA, and, apparently, a win for the team. Berken’s BAA for lefties was below .200 coming into the inning, Hendo’s was .333 for the season going into the inning.
And we’re 1/4 way through the season, so I don’t want to hear about small sample size, or whatever the term is. Berken has been MUCH better at getting out lefties this year than Hendo. To leave him in for just one batter was stupid.
When you watch the Orioles every night, a beer after dinner turns into a six pack WAY too many times. Stacey
You're right
I’m a stats guy. If you want to let actual stats like genuine platoon splits or xFIP or wOBA or whathaveyou dictate certain things like lineup construction, then I’m all for it. Heck, I would settle for simply demonstrating an understanding of on-base percentage when it comes to deciding who hits in the two-hole (someday…), but to let “stats” like pitcher wins and saves dictate when a pitcher leaves the game and when a pitcher enters a game is just…well, we might need a new word for it.
"The wise man saith, 'Put all your eggs in the one basket and--WATCH THAT BASKET.'"
No, I think "stupid" works really well.
When you watch the Orioles every night, a beer after dinner turns into a six pack WAY too many times. Stacey
Well said
In the distant past, a reliever would come and pitch an inning or two or three. There was not this excessive attention to match-ups. I don’t like it because (i) it slows down the game, (ii) it wears out the relievers who are forever getting up and down, and (iii) the likely result of using so many relievers is finding the one who is having an off-night. That’s what DT did last night. Stick with Bergesen, or at least stick with Berken.
this especially
one of the reasons our bullpen is inneffective is they’ve been overused…. on MAY 27th!
And if you look at 5 guys coming in, one of them will always be having a shitty night. Always.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
Yeah, I really don't get the new bullpens.
If a lot of guys are better pitching one inning three or four times a week rather than ~3 innings every five days or so, then fine, there’s that. But this match-up stuff is just insane — especially because of all the warmup pitches thrown. Durability matters, because there are over 100 games left to play. Match-up like it’s the World Series every game, and you’ll never get there.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
That's what drives me crazy
and what I was railing about to everyone within earshot at the game last night. The odds are that every night there are going to be relievers who don’t have it that night. Every time you take out a good one, you increase the odds you’ll get to the crappy one. That’s what happened when they took out Berken.
Older men always look very amused when I start talking that kind of stuff at a game, but whatever. Same thing happened when I watched the Orioles play the Yankees awhile back. Albers had faced 4 batters and retired them all and for NO REASON Trembley brought in Castillo, and I just went off about it. The Yankee fans in the crowd thought I was a nutter I think, but I ended my rant with “And the Orioles deserve what they get.” What they got was a HR by Robinson Cano on the second pitch Castillo threw.
you ARE a nutter
you voluntarily run a blog devoted to the Orioles, forchrissakes.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
We're all nutters
for watching this team implode game after game. From the Schmuck post quoted in the Droppings:
The Orioles opened 2010 with blown saves in the season opener and home opener and have gone on to allow the tying or go-ahead run in the eighth or ninth inning 12 times. Literally, no lead has been safe.We’ve lost a quarter of our games to blown leads in the eighth or ninth. A quarter. 25%. And it’s even more than that if Schmuck means 12 times after the home opener. That is terrible.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
Good news is
We fire DT and get a few new bullpen arms and we could add those wins in and get better quickly.

Garrett Atkins is officially the second-worst rally-killer in baseball,
according to ESPN’s TMI blog. In 30 PA w/ RISP: 5 GIDP and 4 SO for a 46.7% rally-killing rate. (GIDPs count double for the percentage.)
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
I think we should let the pitcher bat instead of Atkins
At least then they could have some practice for interleague play thats coming up

"Trembley didn’t want Bergesen to get a loss after pitching so well."
Good move. The Orioles may have lost, but in the big picture, it’s far more important that we don’t risk Bergy’s record going under 500.

"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
If the first one is true
Then I would actually be concerned. That would be a terrible sign from our front office, if we had players having problems getting through customs and no one from the team was able to help.

Can we fire everyone?
Fucking Fed Ex knows what is going on with every single package going through customs. And those packages, unlike our players, aren’t worth millions of dollars typically.
Sometimes, I suspect we are the Kinko’s of baseball teams.

"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
OK,
that article says he was travelling separately from the team.
In which case, I would no longer hold the team responsible for not being there. But I might say, “stop having your guys travel separately.”
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
It does, but that doesn't add up
The tweets make it pretty clear that Jones wasn’t the only one detained, and the way he says it implies to me that he’s talking about other players.
Certainly I don’t see anything in the tweets to imply that he was traveling separately.

So here's how I see it going down
AJ was driving Wieters, Marakis, and Wiggs into the country. Some BJ fan at the border saw the car and said “Mon Dieu! All of the O’s offense is in this one car! I know they already suck, but if I keep these guys from the game then there is no way in hell the Jays don’t win! Viva Canada!” and there you have it.

What proof is there that no one tried to help?
If someone is detained, it’s going to be hard to see what people on the outside are doing. I don’t know anything about how detainment works, but I doubt a team official can just call and confirm someone’s identity and have everything be fine.

that the story of him being detained was true and it was a case of mistaken identity. he was detaied because they thought he was adam “pacman” jones.

June 10, 2010
The day we can start looking towards the 2011 draft. It’s less than 2 weeks away. Who do you think we will take with the first pick?
"This club is not a good club." --Jim Palmer
Not that we can't talk about it here, too,
but I figured I’d point out this thread.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver

You know, because we suck so much.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
D'oh.
Helps to read carefully. Sorry, Dr. J — went completely over my head.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
If we have the first overall pick...
…and nothing much changes, we’ll select 3b Anthony Rendon, Rice.
Unless Andy decides that we have to take a pitcher, in which case probably we’ll look at Gerrit Cole, Taylor Jungmann, Matt Purke, and Sonny Gray.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
that would be a mistake
and I assume we wouldn’t make it….though I do remember hearing something about MacPhail not being happy with having taken Matt Wieters (the draft was just before MacPhail was hired)…
"The wise man saith, 'Put all your eggs in the one basket and--WATCH THAT BASKET.'"
Well, I haven't looked too closely at any of them yet
Clearly, if Rendon continues to be the consensus elite talent of the class, and we pass on him for another pitcher, then it will be a big, big problem. And every day I grow more and more convinced that MacPhail is part of our problems.
That said, Cole and Jungmann would be top 10 picks in any draft class in recent memory. Either could emerge to be a consensus #1 overall guy.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
How much do these things tend to change over the course of a year though?
"This club is not a good club." --Jim Palmer
Sometimes a lot, sometimes a little
Usually not too much, because players perform like they are expected to. But guys get hurt like Ranaudo did, guys can add a tick to their fastball or improve their secondary offerings or see their power increase. And obviously, it changes more with the prep players – was anyone really thinking Machado would be a sure fire top 5 pick a year ago?
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
College hitters dont change as much as others i feel
Pitchers could get hurt like Ranaudo and prep players dont have as much background.

I only meant
it would be a mistake to insist on a pitcher if there was a better positional player still on the board…but I don’t really think MacPhail is so adamant about “grow the arms” that he’d leave talent on the board.
"The wise man saith, 'Put all your eggs in the one basket and--WATCH THAT BASKET.'"
I dunno
The rumors I’ve heard about the O’s considering Matt Harvey and the tweet from Bowden don’t exactly fill me with confidence.
We’d be leaving a lot of higher end college hitters on the board to take Harvey at 3.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Bowden suspects we’re after Taillon via Tweeter.
I came to camdenchat and all I got was this lousy avatar.
Yeah....
…it is the “and wants a pitcher” part that I was talking about in that tweet. But maybe I’m just reading too much into it, and he just meant that MacPhail said that Taillon is the best player long-term.

Beer, Oysters, Lacrosse
Changing the subject. That headline, which sums it up, was with an online Sun article: http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz-lacrosse-championship-impact-20100529,0,1957048.story
This is where lacrosse championships belong. The experiment in New England didn’t work out too well. People here just don’t get lacrosse. There are some people trying, but it doesn’t have much of a foot hold in youth sports. Too bad Virginia is there. This is one of those extremely rare occasions where I would like to see a Duke team win, then lose.
My Memorial Day plans don’t include the O’s. Lacrosse will be the background sport. I’m planning of extending the Orioles blackout until mid-June. No listening to games. No looking at standings. Ignorance is bliss with this team.
You're doing it wrong
You’re supposed to pick up young, unproven pitchers starting AGAINST the Orioles.
I picked him up as well
And also picked up Cahill as insurance. I don’t trust the O’s that much and even if they do manage to win it’ll probably be 2-1 anyway.

off-topic: Sex and the Shitty 2
I’m enjoying reading the relentless attacks on this movie from all critics. This is my favorite.
The most grotesque aspect of Sex and the City remains the central characters, all four of whom (to varying degrees) are obsessed with the trappings of wealth. They exist to consume. It’s a three-ring circus of materialism, narcissism, and entitlement. These people are self-absorbed to the point where, unless you built a relationship with them during their television days, it’s impossible to like them. The filmmakers not only sympathize with them, but laud their avarice and obsession with possessions.

James Berardinelli is awesome. He’s an excellent writer, insightful, and extremely literate. I read him regularly. If he writes a good review for a movie, I see it. I rarely disagree him. Avatar and Funny Games (US version) are some recent movies he loved that I disliked.

I can’t believe somebody from NPR gave a half sympathetic review of Sex and the Shitty. If I’m out on a date and she raves about Sex and the City (particularly the movies), I use that as a red flag for “materialism, narcissism, and entitlement.”
