PrintBaltimore Orioles at New York Yankees, Sep 8, 2010 1:05 PM EDT
In the past two days, two young Orioles starters have defeated $240 million worth of pitcher contracts for the Yankees. This is not the last time we will be seeing those guys, and it's not the last time they will be seeing our guys. It is September; the Yankees have a slim division lead and they need every game in order to hold on to it. On top of the usual Yankee fan stench is now the smell of fear for next year, when their overpaid veterans will all be one year older, and our young guys will have one more year of seasoning under their belts.
Brad Bergesen takes the mound for the Orioles today as they seek their fifth consecutive victory in what looked to be a bleak section of the schedule to close out the season. That grim prophecy may yet come to pass, but for now we can all enjoy the ride. Bergy's ERA was 6.95 on July 26 and it is 5.47 now. Sure, there was a lot of room for improvement there, but he had a 2.72 ERA in 36.1 innings in his five August starts. He got shelled for 6 runs in 2.1 IP in a June 2 start in New York, but that was a different Bergy.
The Yankees counter with Ivan Nova. This is what you've got, Yankees? You're paying $213 million to players in 2010 and you've got some guy named Ivan Nova starting games for you in September when you're only 1.5 games up on the Rays? I'd like to ooze overconfidence out of every pore of this post, but let's be real for a second here: Nova, a rookie making his fourth big league start ever, fits the profile of "pitcher who inexplicably shuts the Orioles down." That's old Orioles thinking, though. This is the Buck era, where the O's have the best record in the AL East since August 3. Also, I heard Nova's mother is a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries.
This is Birdland, ladies and gentlemen, and for once the future's almost looking kinda bright. With a win today, the present would be looking kinda bright too. Go O's!

Yeah, for a day game to end a series you expect the crap lineup.
I think this is probably our best lineup right now, notwithstanding any lingering injury that caused AJ to play the way he did last night. After that effort I’m actually surprised he’s in the lineup again today, but I guess Buck buys it was an injury limitation – though why he’s playing AJ in that case, I don’t know.

Ivan inspires
a quote like this over on Pinstripe Alley:
“Ivan Nova is a useful tool, to get our real pitchers the rest they need. Ivan Nova does not need to win games, just eat innings. Any game he starts which we can win is just an extra, a bonus.”
Sounds good to me. Yankee fans should always remember their players are tools.

Looks like we have our A team in the starting lineup
Andino, aka “The Butcher,” should not be allowed to start games at SS. I don’t know what he should be allowed to do but it’s not that.

It's pretty bad.
I’d like to see a look at either Luke or Reimold for 1B. Unless there’s a favorable matchup for Wiggy (last night with Sabathia for instance) I think we know what we’re getting from him at this point, and it’s not good.
Although he makes a nice grab on another bad Bell throw at 1B just as I type the above.

you’re probably saving as many runs with Wiggy picking up Bell as you’re giving away by batting him third everyday. Still, bat Wieters third or something. Wiggy’s killing me up there.

ignorant newbie
While I’ve skulked around CC a while, this is my first time on the gameday thread. Maybe watching the MLB gameday while stealing time from the taxpayers isn’t the best way to start, but there it is.
Somebody educate me — how is the pitch data on MLB game day derived? Is there a special camera & speed gun to feed that, or is there a program that captures that info from existing feeds in the stadium? That we have this granular info is pretty nifty.
Bergesen Ks are niftier, tho.

Greedy Gardner and the nice relay meant the net result was the same – run in, bases empty with 2 down – but still. Feels like Pie was placed poorly and went to the ball poorly from that bad position.

actually
it probably is that hard… They train their entire lives to learn a specific strike zone, then some day some asshole umpire decides that the ball on the chalkline of the opposite batters’ box is a strike and you expect them to be able to turn off that “instinct” (for lack of a better word)?
Jioe Flaacco, Hon!!! "He’s like a live JUGS machine."
No they don't
the strike zone is different for every umpire and they all know it. There are scouting reports on umpires as well as pitchers. There is no “specific strike zone.”
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Generally speaking
they have a specific idea of the strike zone… something that’s close but not normally a strike, I would imagine it’s fairly difficult to decide that “normally thats not a strike but will probably be called one so I better swing” in 3/10 of a second. Just sayin’.
Jioe Flaacco, Hon!!! "He’s like a live JUGS machine."
Seriously
There are scouting reports for every single umpire in the league and the players review them before every game. For the guys who have been in the league for a while they don’t even need to review them. They all know what they each like to call and they adjust accordingly. It’s part of being a major league hitter.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Terrible pitcher!
I think every single team ever has the same meme “Oh man, it’s a terrible pitcher who sucks terribleness, that means we’re getting shutout!”.
Even us Yankee fans have that meme. I’ve at least seen it on the AL East blogs, I have to imagine it’s elsewhere too.
The difference is it actually happens to bad teams like the Orioles.

Oh, sure
But all kinds of pitchers shut down the orioles. Teams like NY/BOS hate it because they expect to kill every pitcher they face, be it Halladay or Ivan Nova, so getting shutdown by a no-name sticks out in the memory quite a bit more.
But yeah, i’m sure it happens more frequently to bad teams.

Try to show some respect instead of pity. That might endear you a little more.
"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
Can I just say
And this isn’t directed specifically at you because it happens all the time, but I HATE when fans of other teams want to congratulate or thank another teams fans because they beat someone their team is in contention with. It’s obnoxious and nobody here wants to hear that shit. The Orioles beat the Rays for the Orioles, not for the Red Sox, not for the Yankees, so maybe just pipe down with that kind of shit.

Seriously.
Just realize—we don’t see our team as pitiful also-rans. Even if they have been that way in the standings for years. And we don’t feel Chad Moeller suddenly becomes elevated when he puts on a Yankee uniform.

there's a difference
between having confidence, and being aggressive, and executing a gameplan,

On the other hand
I couldn’t possibly remember all times we’ve been dominated by some no-name rookie making his major league debut even this season, much less ever.
What I was going to say was
I was reading the NY Post story on last night’s game and they said, “Rookie starting pitchers are now 8-6 with a 2.64 ERA the last 17 times the Yankees have faced one.”
From Bird Droppings.

To be honest,

Remember they were saying last year something about how long it had been since the O’s swept the Yankees or Red Sox or something….like since 1997, and they kept saying “In a three game series” when really just like two years before they swept them in a four game series which, hello? Is better.

I don't know
if I could appreciate him in an Orioles uniform. There are some players that I’ve developed such a deep hate for that I can’t even imagine them playing for a team I cheer for. I don’t think he’s quite attained that level yet though, and given how well I remember him hitting at Camden, I’m sure it’d only take half a season for me to change my mind. Unfortunately, I don’t see him leaving the MFY anytime soon.

Glad I was gone and came back only to see the result. Ninth-inning losses happen, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less.
On the plus side, when was the last time Yankees fans had to wait until the ninth inning of the last game to celebrate salvaging just one game against the Orioles?

I've been playing baseball since I was six years old, so that's 40 years I've been on a baseball field and around a baseball field, and so our opinions are formulated through facts, not fiction, not their little chat room jargon.

could have been 2 strikes, with 2 outs. otherwise, it couldn’t have been worse.
still, awesome we beat them this series.

We could have been no-hit by yet another rookie. Or even shutout. It was looking that way for a while, at least until SHJ had enough of that.
