PrintNew York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles, Jun 9, 2010 7:05 PM EDT
CC Sabathia vs. Chris Tillman. We'll see how that goes. Sabathia isn't have a great year so far, not that the Orioles are letting that stop them from losing to him. In three starts against the Orioles this year, Sabathia has allowed a total of 7 runs in 22.2 innings. The Orioles did get 11 hits off of him on April 28th, but in typical O's fashion they only scored three times, going 2-for-12 with RISP, hitting into 2 double plays, and leaving 8 men on base.
Chris Tillman will do his best to get out of the second inning tonight. He promises.
One non-game note: Felix Pie is hitting off of a tee and playing long toss with no pain. Thanks to Britt Ghiroli for looking into his status for us.

Texiera doing some pregame interview shit with Eddie Murray
Oh really, Mark? You’re a switch hitter because of Eddie Murray. Hmmmmm….I’d have figured it was because of Mickey Mantle seeing as you were a Yankees fan growing up and all.

Tillman needs some Invisalign. He's giving Michael Strahan a run for his money.

Needs to get that strike to ball ratio down
he wont have too many more 12 pitch innings if he keeps that up.

stop using logic, just try not to think about it.
as proof, he just took a walk. dont try to make this team make sense.
That makes more sense
The world had to right itself. Lugo’s walk never happened.

i know
we should just forfeit now. its not like we’re getting any offense outta those guys

So I now have Tillman and Arrieta on my fantasy team
I didn’t start Tillman tonight. I’m not starting Arrieta tomorrow. I rather be pissed that I sat them than pissed that we lost AND I started them.

I started Swisher yesterday, for obvious reasons and was proud of the results…

I'm worried about what happens to the Big East and ACC
If the Pac-10 goes to 16 teams, the Big 10 and SEC will have to respond
It could be the Big East that ends up being destroyed
ACC loses Miami, Florida State, Georgia Tech, and Clemson to the SEC. Big 10 takes the better Big East football schools, ACC takes the rest, and most of the big basketball schools to make up what they lost.
The SEC would only take new schools in to make them BETTER.
ACC teams will not make the SEC better.
Insert something witty here.
by Knubles and Bits on Jun 9, 2010 7:36 PM EDT up reply actions
Miami and Florida State absolutely makes the SEC better
and Georgia Tech and Clemson provide natural rivals for Georgia and South Carolina
They are already rivals.

Miami and FSU of the mid 90s
would make them better, but not their current programs. They may be great by ACC standards but not in the SEC.

by Knubles and Bits on Jun 9, 2010 7:39 PM EDT up reply actions
Much of that may have to do with the fact that they are in the ACC
I have no doubt they would recover pretty quickly in the SEC (not that they cant in the ACC)
I think that kids would more likely choose
Miami in the ACC where they can dominate then Miami in the SEC where they might not compete. It could hurt them by switching conferences.

i dont get why they have to fuck with this in the first place

I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
68 teams makes sense as far as symmetry
I would have been pissed about about 96 teams though.
What they really need to do is seed the play-in games as the 4 10 seeds and have them be the last 8 at-large teams. Its not fair to the tiny schools that did all thats asked of them and then ship them off to Dayton. As long as they want to claim they value the smaller conferences, they deserve there shot at one of the top seeds. Make the mediocre power conference teams earn their way in.
however many teams they have now seems to work just fine
now the tourney is going to take forever.
I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
Its not going to take any longer
the other 3 play-in games will be played on the same day they are now
yea dunno what i was thinking there
if they go to 96 teams, it’ll just be fucking stupid. first round byes for 32 teams?
I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
they dont even sell out some of the better matchups
does the 96th seed even have a chance?

it was nova in 84
although i thought they were an 8th seed
I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
How does it make sense?
You’re either at 64 or you go up by 12 and do byes. 65 makes no fucking sense, neither does 68.
When you watch the Orioles every night, a beer after dinner turns into a six pack WAY too many times. Stacey
well it is 65 right now cuz of the play-in game
I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
Well they're arent ever going to contract the tournament, so going back down to 64 isnt ever going to be on the table
68 is at least symmetrical
how is it symmetrical?
I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
because all 4 regions will have the same number of teams
Its not perfect, but its a further degree of symmetry than the current bracket
they all have the same number of teams now
minus the play-in game. its stupid to add three more of those damn games
I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
Remember Opening Day last year?
I want to relive that…
"The jerk store called, they're running out of you!"
There's that Oriole offense!
Walk to leadoff the inning – great start. Very un-Oriole like.
Miggi follows that WALK up by swinging at 3 straight pitches (of which MAYBE 1 was a strike). Much more typical.
Then jerkoff fuckface gets picked off. Very typical.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
FUCK!
just figured I’d get that out of the way. We all know it’s inevitable

Schedule has been insane lately
Daughter has 4 games this week. And I’m ready for that season to end. Now. So much teen girl drama and so little sportsmanship by coaches.
We had a coach last night sending kids 1st to 3rd on a walk while up by 12 so they could get to 15 and make sure we didn’t get to bat in the bottom of the inning due to slaughter rule – game ends as soon as they hit 15. Then he came across the infield to tell me I was unsportsmanlike to telling him “Good job running while up by 12! Good job!” Pot, meet kettle.
Then I get an email this morning from a mom on my team saying don’t speak to her kid anymore. Because when I said FOUR TIMES it was time for her to get ready to bat (I keep scorebook and have to tell the kids when to get ready), she finally rolled her eyes and said “Whatever.” And I responded with “I’m done with 14 year old divas. Either get ready or not.” And I’m the bad guy.
Give me 16-year-old wrestlers any day of the week.

James’ good friend Jay-Z echoed Jeter’s sentiment on recruitment.
“That’s his decision,” the hip-hop mogul and part owner of the New Jersey Nets said in a Rolling Stone interview.

I don't know.
He was asked by a reporter, “What would you do to bring Lebron James to play for Knicks pls pls pls give me a quote yes thank you.” And he said a) he’s not a basketball player, so it wouldn’t make any sense. And then, to follow up, b) all right, I’ll throw you a bone, New York has a great fan base.
This just doesn’t strike me as, like, anything.
"MONTANEZ: Alas! I cannot hit. Deal with it."

I see it as a passive-aggressive comment
He tried to play it out like he didn’t care whether Lebron came here or not. Then immediately threw in comment that says “We win in New York.” It may be true but its still pretty cocky and douchy to me.
Why not just say, Yeah, he should come here. New York is great and he would love the fans. Or something.
We don’t know what the reporter actually asked him. The article does say that Jeter wasn’t aware that the Knicks said they would be open to having Yankees help recruit him. This was an off-hand comment, in who knows what context. I don’t mean to spend this much time defending Derek Jeter, but there’s no there there.

I'll agree there is not much context to it

and still have such an awful team batting average?

I mean, two hits for Izzy?

where do we put him though?
machado’s bound to grow which warrants a switch to third, and rendon’s definitely more of a third baseman.

Not really
Look, the whole point of why Machado was the third overall pick is because people believe he can stick at short.
But again, this is one of those good problems. Should we be so lucky as to have two excellent third basemen, I’m sure we can find a way to solve it.

Exactly.
“Where do we put these two good-hitting infielders?”
"MONTANEZ: Alas! I cannot hit. Deal with it."
-Eat More Esskay
Well, that's something way too soon to tell
But Machado was the third overall pick, and Rendon is the frontrunner to be the #1 overall pick in what is considered a very stacked draft.
So, they are awfully good prospects.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
I was wondering, I am very weak on my knowledge of prospects.
Don’t get me wrong, I think deciding where to put them would be a great problem to have.
not harper/strasburg
but they’ll most likely make it in the majors barring serious injury

I dont think machado will definitely outgrow short
and i’ve seen talk that machado will potentially outgrow 3rd and have to move to first, which would solve the problem
oh he will
he’s only like 180 lbs soaking wet and size 13 feet. at 6’3 he’s bound to grow.

I don't consider that likely
Rendon is considered to be a Zimmerman type – such a superb 3b that he could play short – and Rendon has played short, and may be playing short his junior year if Rick Hague signs.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Well, at the very least,
if Machado absolutely outgrows SS, we could likely move Rendon across the diamond to solve the problem.
We'd move one to the outfield, more likely
Or trade them. Both have 70 arms; you don’t stick that at first.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
70 arms!?
That’s alot. How many gloves are you allowed to wear at a time?
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
That's one strong arm
Lets sew them together and we’ll have a large SS/3B with the strength of 140 arms!

70 on the 20-80 scouting scale is what I meant.

I rather they had 70 arms
That would be awesome, though I don’t know where they’d all go.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
It's no sure thing Machado moves from SS
He might max out at Cal’s size. I’m sure we’ll find room for them both somewhere.

No. If you move the DH into the field, the pitcher has to bat

I don't think this is correct
Maybe i’m wrong, but the pitcher only takes over if the DH moves to a defensive position.
