PrintNew York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles, Jun 8, 2010 7:05 PM EDT
If you don't want to surrender to the Stephen Strasburg hype machine, the Orioles are "playing baseball" tonight. I imagine I'll be flipping back and forth, especially if the Orioles allow themselves to be manhandled by the Yankees in the manner to which I've become accustomed.
The O's and Yanks have faced off nine times this season with the Orioles being victorious once. In those nine games the Yankees have outscored the Orioles 49-20. The Orioles have been shut out once and held to one run four times. Three of CC Sabathia's five wins have come against the Orioles.
Phil Hughes is starting for the Yankees tonight. Hughes is having a disgustingly good year; I hate that. This will be his third start against the O's in 2010. In the first he was effective, allowing just one run on two hits, but his four walks forced him out of the game after 5.2 innings and the Orioles came back against the bullpen for their only win against the Yankees this year. In his second game, on June 2nd, he was better. He allowed more hits (six) but struck out seven and walked only one. It could be a long night for the Orioles.
Kevin Millwood is still winless and he's not doing so hot recently. Over his last five starts, dating back to May 13th, The Mentor has allowed 7 home runs and 21 earned runs, good for a 5.79 ERA. Except in his 8 inning start against the Royals on May 18th, Millwood has yet to get out of the 7th inning in that time. In his last start, also against the Yankees, Millwood lasted only 5.2 innings. That's his third shortest outing of the season; the first was Opening Day (5.0 IP), the second was his only other start against the Yankees (5.1 IP).
So I guess what I'm saying is, maybe Strasburg's debut is the way to go.
Lineups:
Orioles: Julio Lugo - 2B, Miguel Tejada - 3B, Nick Markakis - RF, Ty Wigginton - 1B, Luke Scott - DH, Adam Jones - CF, Matt Wieters - C, Lou Montanez - LF, Cesar Izturis - SS
Yankees: Derek Jeter - SS, Nick Swisher - RF, Mark Teixeira - 1B, Alex Rodriguez - 3B, Robinson Cano - 2B, Jorge Posada - DH, Curtis Granderson - CF, Francisco Cervelli - C, Brett Gardner - LF

Just so everybody knows
I’m feeling an Orioles sweep.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Full article
is here.
Wedge has not formally met with MacPhail and a date is not set for an interview, one source said. When contacted by The Baltimore Sun on Tuesday, Wedge declined to comment “out of respect to everyone involved.”
Valentine also declined to comment, but an industry source said Valentine, who is in his first season of a four-year deal with ESPN, would manage again given the right opportunity — and that guiding the Orioles in the American League East is the kind of challenge that could bring him back.
MacPhail would not specifically address his list of candidates, none of whom he has talked to face-to-face since Dave Trembley was fired Thursday. Those meetings are expected to begin this week.
“We’re starting the process, sort of the vetting process. We’re not expecting anything soon. I’m not sure how the timetable is going to play out myself,” MacPhail said. “I’ve never been through one of these in-season. We’ll do our due diligence and work through it, but I’m not expecting anything quickly.”

And the O’s game on the radio.

I feel kind of dirty tonight
I’m willingly choosing to join the Nats fan in watching his team over the O’s. Gotta admit though, I gotta see what all the Strasburg buzz is about for myself.

Okay, regional stereotypes are fine. Santa Fe is a magnet for people who couldn’t hack it anywhere else, or were just too weird. They seem not to have a problem with money, though. They get the native New Mexicans to change their lightbulbs.

People can say anything they want to in the thread about other sporting events going on.
When I threatened to hide comments before, I was overstepping. .
I’d still rather this thread not have a bunch of BS in it about someone else’s start prospect, but that’s just me. Others may feel differently.
Carry on.

And listening to Rob Dibble is actual torture. But I’m still watching the Nats because it looks like they’re having fun, and I’m hoping they lose in a highly embarrassing fashion.

You been watching him at all tonight? Seriously, his stuff has been off the hook. He’s making the batters look just silly.

I fully realize how sick he's looked tonight
but he’s hardly the first super-hyped pitching prospect to look amazing their rookie year and then flame out. He will have growing pains, and people do need to prepare themselves to occasionally be disappointed. And probably stop carving the hall of fame bust during his rookie season (that honor is reserved for Matt Wieters). Theres still a million things that could go wrong.
I dont see him being anything but brilliant for a long time
Sure, he’ll have a couple offnights…. but he has been as UNTOUCHABLE as ANYONE in a very long time at every level. I mean, its not even close. He hasn’t been challenged by anyone….
by Wieters Wieners on Jun 8, 2010 9:11 PM EDT up reply actions
He's pitched to the Pirates. Let's see what happens as he makes his rounds through the league
Sure, he might be the next Roy Halladay. Or he might be the next Francisco Lirano. Time will tell.
"arod eats bonersauce"~thewaywardO
Not one other pitcher
Has struck out 14 against the Pirates this year…. Just sayin, he’s the first guy in 57 games against them to do so.
by Wieters Wieners on Jun 8, 2010 9:15 PM EDT up reply actions
I dont think Kerry Wood is unreasonable comparison
His K/9 his rookie year was almost 13. Theres no reason to assume something bad will happen, and i’m not trying to say something will. But its certainly a possibility.
The thing that makes me think about Wood
is that nasty hook. Wood had one too but it helped wreck his arm.

sorry son.....
you don’t slip and have a chance against Markakis
We need a lot of talent and he could bring us some prospects and one good player
Success in 2010. Playoffs in 2011. Go Orioles!
I'd be against it
Unless its the sort of offer that would get a GM fired and blacklisted from baseball (say, Strasburg, Storen, Zimmerman, and Harper). I like Nick, and I like him as the face of the franchise. At some point, sentimental value is a factor.
If Nick were older I could see trading him for more prospects
But at 26 and locked into a long term deal, the O’s know they have a solid player in RF. Why give that away for unproven prospects?
Probably nothing worth losing him over
unless he’s packaged with an Arrieta/Tillman/etc…
He’s our only sure thing in the outfield (and in the field at all honestly). There’s no real point to moving him.

Well, he could bring some good prospects
I don’t think i’d want to lose our current best position player right now for guys who might be good. Buy the bats.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
Buying the Bats would work if........
We need to look at the top hitters and not the basement bargains.

as putrid as Atkins is
would having Matt Holliday on this team make an appriciable difference this year? I don’t think so. we’d still be terrible. The bats will come. There are plenty of big boppers coming onto the market over the next year or two. This team wasn’t necessarily ready for a big free agent signing this past off season.
"arod eats bonersauce"~thewaywardO
I'd hope that if it was decision between Atkins and Holliday
we would have been much more aggressive in signing Holliday. The fact was that we had what was thought of as an excellent outfield before injury to Pie, regression from Jones, and both to Reimold. There was understandably no room for Holliday at the price it would have cost. Had he been a first baseman instead? Hopefully a different story.
Wow.
Mata threw him seven straight fastballs and struck him out anyway? Is that right?

What the fuck is the deal with B-Rob?
did they just try to rush him back instead of sending him for surgery?
I'm no doctor, but from what I understand
Surgery for a herniated disk is last resort. Whether he could play baseball again afterwards could be up in the air depending on what they have to do to repair it.
we did manage 3 runs
off a stud pitcher, if we r looking for positives lol

I seriously don’t know how he is still on the team and Arrieta is in AAA. I know the “but he’s a starter thing” but come on, lets put the best players on the field.
so strasburg was fucking awesome
couple of bad pitches, but only one to a guy who could actually hit. 14Ks and 7 straight to end the game. fucking amazing.

"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
Heh
I actually tried to like the Nats when they first got here. I figured it’d be bonus baseball in the area and since it was the NL I’d feel no guilt. It turns out that I don’t hate the Nats, but I do hate the NL.
I will say that the Nats seem like a fun team to be a fan of right now, even before Strasburg. They seem like an easy team to like, player-wise. But I don’t know that their fans get it. I don’t mean all of them, I’m sure the people at Federal Baseball and the like get it, but when you go to a game down there it just seems like a bunch of people who woke up that day and said, “Let’s go to the Nationals game” the same way I might say, “Let’s go to the mall.” The crowds at Oriole Park and Nationals Park are pretty much the same this year in size, but at the O’s games I’ve been to the fans are mostly talking about the game and team (angrily, but talking all the same). At the Nats games I haven’t noticed that at all. Not that I’ve been to many Nats games; maybe I was just sitting in the wrong section.
Isn't it almost impossible to believe that none of the perfect games this season have been thrown against us? -O'sFan21
My irrational hatred for DC predates the existence of the Nats.
All the Nats did was move into the line of fire.
It’s just one of those things. You grow up around Baltimore and you probably hate DC. It has nothing to do with sports although it’s expressed with hatred towards the Redskins (and if they’re ever good, the Nats) – but really Baltimoreans hating DC is basically like the sun rising in the east. That’s what happens.
