PrintTampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles, Sep 3, 2010 7:05 PM EDT
The AL East-loaded stretch of games to close out the season rolls on. After dropping two out of three to Boston, the Orioles will host the Rays for a three-game series in Baltimore. Whereas Boston is mostly out of the hunt, the Rays are right in the thick of everything. They're 1.5 games behind the Yankees for the AL East with hopes of surmounting them for the division - but at 6.5 games ahead of Boston for the wild card are probably secure there. Anybody who says it's OK if the Orioles lose because it means the Rays don't lose ground to the Yankees is going to be punched in the testicles. If you don't have testicles, you will be punched in the ovaries. You have been warned.
With a tough loss last night, the O's will be looking to rebound. This will be something of an uphill battle, because they will be up against Matt Garza, who has a 5-0 career record at Camden Yards. Garza's not mind-blowingly good with his 3.53 ERA, but that's better than the entire Orioles rotation, which isn't too surprising. The only Oriole with sustained good numbers against Garza is Adam Jones and he's probably not playing after having had to receive a cortisone shot in his hurt shoulder.
I've got to say, I have a hard time mustering the kind of smoldering fury that was unleashed upon the Red Sox when it comes to the Rays. Really the worst thing you can say about Garza is that he has really douchey facial hair. A big strike against him, to be sure. I mean, just look at it. Douchey McDoucherson.
Ask yourselves: who's the last person you want to see starting tonight? If you're like me and you said Kevin Millwood, then prepare for disappointment. Let's try to find something hopeful to say. Four out of his last five starts have been quality starts. The one start he's had against the Rays this year was Opening Day, where he went five innings and gave up two runs. That feels like it was five years ago now. The only Rays batter with good numbers off him is Carlos Pena. So that's something.
And hey, the Trop still sucks and Camden Yards is still awesome. We've got them in at least one category. Go O's!

let's shove it down their throats tonight
after this year, the rays will lose FAs and might go downhill. at any rate, they have no fans and may move. but us? we’re the rays of 2007. next year we rock! let’s give them a taste of it now.
I'm back
Mlb.tv has been screwing me over for a few months, its good to be back. First thing i see is the mentor. Not so good to be back anymore.

Is it bad that I have mixed feelings about this game? I mean, I’d vastly prefer the Rays to do well verses the Yankees or the Red Sox
Overall sure
But against the Orioles the Rays are just another group of punks.

its an alternate keyboard layout
thats faster and more efficient that QWERTY.
There were a number of factors that went into the qwerty layout that actually end up slowing down typers that people have tried to fix, but the odds of one every actually gaining widespread adoption are pretty slim.
Well sure
I mean this dvorak thing might be faster if everyone knew how to type on it, but everyone already knows how to type on qwerty. If I had relearn I’d be annoyed.

Seattle is a hole for offense
Not the team, the ball park. Look at Adrian Beltre, he looked average at best in Seattle and is a beast in Boston. Granted, Boston is pretty much the exact opposite of Seattle for offense, but still… That place depresses offense terribly.

I hope you claw all the way back and force a play off
And then you have a 12 run lead in the bottom of the 9th and give it all back and eventually papeldouche blows it by throwing a 1 hop come-backer into right field.

I don’t like dick as an insult either, personally. But generally my issue comes into play not when someone is called a dick or a cunt, but rather when the insult is that the person HAS a cunt and that’s what makes them inferior. No one would ever say that someone has a dick as an insult.

Please stop bunting at Longoria
I know you’re the worst hitter most people have ever seen, Izzy, but you should still at least try to bunt up the first base line.
Yay!!! More outs given away! On a ball too! Sweet!
I was going to try to count all the balls the O’s turn into strikes, but lost count after about 13 through 2.1.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Ok, so MLB Gameday isn't the best reference...
But I don’t know where to get live Pitch F/X data.
Only 4 outs have been made on balls out of the zone and only 1 of those was not at the edge of the zone (Nick’s fly out in the 1st). 2 have been made at the top of the zone (Roberts and Izturis in the 3rd) and 1 was at the edge right around where a strike had been called previously in the at-bat (Roberts K in the 1st).
ONLY 4??? They've only made 12 outs! That's fucking horrible!

You "don't see it" because you're not looking
They’re swinging at plenty of balls. They’re also actually getting hits, but that’s not for lack of swinging at balls.
Obviously not.
They absolutely destroy us in every patience category there is. I don’t see it because it’s not there to see.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
I'm not saying their hitters aren't better
That’s not in question by a long shot.
And stupidly claiming that every out the Orioles have made is on a ball out of the zone when it’s clearly not true is just being annoying and douchey.
Where do I say every out? Please cut and paste.
Oh wait I’ll save you the trouble – I fucking didn’t. Jesus fucking christ.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Sorry, I did misread you
I thought you said turning balls into outs, not turning balls into strikes.
I said turning balls into outs, but I never came even remotely close to saying ALL the outs were on balls out of the strike zone.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Right, right
I thought you said “turning balls into outs, but I lost count after 13 through 2.1 innings” or something like that. I fail at reading and that failure pretty much invalidates all of my arguments I’ve made so far.
Through 12 outs, the Rays made 5 outs outside of the zone
A pop out by Zobrist in the 1st, a pop out by Pena in the 1st (borderline), and a ground out by Jason in the 3rd, a K by Jaso in the 4th, and the fly out by Zobrist in the 4th.
Well
look at their walks compared to our walks. It’s pretty simple.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
He didn't foul it off.
And I don’t give a shit what gameday says – that last pitch NEVER gets called a strike. Above the belt is something that gameday doesn’t seem to understand.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
It looked like a strike to me
I’m using Game Day just to reference location. If I can find a pitch f/x site, I’d use that instead.

I don't think the FO is going to diss a veteran by DFAing at this point in the season.
They might shift him out of the rotation, maybe, but most likely the six-man rotation is their way of limiting the young guys’ innings and also Millwood’s appearances.

It limits the innings of the young arms
I don’t think that’s a bad thing to do at this point. No need to Prior them.
i dont think that an innings limit is necessary for any of them
and at any rate I don’t think pitching 6 games instead of 5 games will hurt anyone. And pitching on odd rest suddenly has a lost worse potential in my opinion.

I'm not sure it's needed, true
I don’t know what their IP numbers are. But it’s probably part of the thought process.
Additionally, with off days, I’m not really sure how much of a “regular” schedule pitchers really get anyway.

Holy shit, seriously
Izzy, if you REALLY want to just give up an out by bunting, just fucking keep the bat on your shoulder. At least that way you MIGHT draw a walk.
And take more than two pitches in the process.

That's diffucult
I don’t really like Portland but I would say to him: if he lives on the Eastside, hit up “Siam Society” or “Lucca” for some good food. If he wants to take a date to a movie look up “Cinetopia”, they have a wine bar and “shit” also Burgerville is a great local fast food place, it is a little pricey though. Given more time I suppose I could think of more things I like about this place.
The granola and weed is great?? not really

that I actually liked the trade at the time. Now I agree with whoever said they wished they’d never heard of Kevin Millwood. Although he’s still better than Eaton and HIll…

Did you hear yesterday
when Brady was talking about how he liked outfielders that made the hard plays look easy rather than the easy plays look hard? I felt like he was talking directly to Jim Edmonds.

Hotlinking
When you link to a picture that is uploaded to a website you don’t own.
It’s less a problem than it used to be since the cost of bandwidth dropped, but at one point it could seriously screw with a site’s monthly bandwidth allotment. Now it’s GENERALLY only a problem if you link something on a ridiculously popular site or link a large file.
Its not
but at the same time, its not that hard to save an image to a online storage site. I can have an image uploaded to my dropbox account and post it within in like 15 seconds of finding it
I could do it in 5 minutes, maybe. :)

This guy literally cannot throw enough strikes to get 3 outs
and we just give our shit away

I mean we knocked the starter out in less than 6 innings
while staying somewhat in the game. Theres gonna be nights where that really is just the best you can do. You just have to hope to get to a place where thats a bad night and not something to look forward to like this would have been in june.
Yeah it wasn't terrible
but we made it SO much easier on him.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Of course
This wasn’t the best we could have done. We could have done much more, but squandered opportunities by doing dumb shit like SWINGING AT THE FIRST GODDAMN PITCH AND GROUNDING OUT GRRRRRRRRRARRRGH.
At this point, I'm just not letting it bother me
They arent going to stop doing it on their own and I have to assume Buck has a plan to do deal with it. If next april terry fucking crowley is still sitting on that bench, then I’ll have a problem.
That's pretty much how I feel about it too.

man
that seems a little extreme. He wasn’t having THAT bad of a season and he’s coming off of 4 straight years of OPS+ 120+. That seems crazy to me.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
well he's a free agent after this year
and its not like the Rockies are contending or anything. I’m not sure what the logic was behind the move, but the consequences arent very severe.
He had a pretty big club option for '11
I’m guessing if you decline an option you cant then offer the player arbitration?
Shit that seems like it makes sense, but I have no clue.

just once I'd like for them to say on base % instead of batting average
It’s not an obscure stat. Just one, Gary! Do it for me! Jaso’s OBP is over 100 points higher than his batting average.
Luke and Felix are good for the soul. -33
Last night they briefly wondered what percentage of the time playing the shift actually helps
It was about the closest we’ve ever gotten to an advanced stat discussion.
Who is this guy pitching on the mound? It's sure not Hendo.

Nice play BRob - no chance from the start.
Hendo probably needs to go after that if there’s going to be a prayer of getting him.
