Yankees 3, Orioles 2: Losing hurts again

PrintThe best thing I can say about this game is that I realized it hurts to lose again. You probably know what I'm talking about with feeling numb to all the losing after most of this season. Even since Buck took over I don't think there was a loss that just bummed me out and wrecked my afternoon/evening like this.
Here's all you need to know if you missed the game: the Orioles only scored two runs off Ivan Nova. When that happens you can't expect to win. They were two nice runs coming off a Matt Wieters opposite field home run, but that was all they mustered on the day. Brad Bergesen pitched well, but it didn't matter. The game-ending walkoff home run just seemed inevitable. Koji was due for a bad outing when it mattered, and stuff like that just happens against the Yankees.
Off day tomorrow and then it's time to play the Tigers. I think Luke Scott might be excited.

The good news, they palyed competitively and with attitude
We shouldn’t have lost had Pie and Izzy come through in clutch. Overall though, I really feel the Yankees got an eye open on what to expect on the future. I hope this isn’t a facade.

I’m ready for a 7-12, 3+ HR, multiple RBI series from Luke to help me forget about today.

Susyn Waldman and Michael Kay were incredulous the last few innings of today's game
Susyn: “But getting beat by these kids the Orioles are putting out there: This is nothing like getting beat by Lester, Beckett and Buchholz. Nothing like that at all.”
Kay: “I gotta say, Matusz, Arrieta and Bergesen aren’t the three best pitchers in the league, To get beat like this, and score just 6 runs…”
All I could think of was, “Get used to it for the next half decade, guys. Get used to it.”

Seriously
What’s wrong with them, Matusz was a top 10 prospect, Arrieta top 100, Bergesen had a 4.1 FIP last year. Maybe Lester, Beckett and Buchholz are better than our three, but its not as crazy a difference as their feeble minds believe. They are probably the same people that didn’t think the Ray’s were legit until this year.

they STILL don't think the rays are legit
they’re bringing up JOSH BECKETT? But leaving off Garza and Price.
These guys are so myopic, they’re an embarrassment.

These guys are clueless
They were obviously unaware of Matusz numbers against the Yankees going into this series or only care about pitchers W-L records

Kay was going on and on yesterday
about how the Mets could have had Buck but didn’t even call him, and how the O’s are definitely not better than the Mets but a manager like Buck makes all the difference. Ya know, I think I might like our chances in a series against the Mets on a neutral field. Fuck you Mike.

I blame myself for the loss
I didn’t even know the game was early today, so I missed it. It’s my fault. I’m sorry.
you're forgiven .... just don't let it happen again

I have to take full responsibility
I posted the word “SWEEP” on the Camden Chat Facebook page in the middle of the 9th inning. I hate myself.
MASN was jinxing the sweep the whole telecast, so don't blame yourself.

Oh how I wish
Simon would have come in instead. Then I would have posted, “well there goes this one.” Then, he would have actually sealed the deal. Because, you know, God hates me like that.
The NYY radio crew just took it as a given
“Bergesen will be the winner, and Nova the loser, and he deserves better, he pitched a whale of a game…”

The secret of Koji's success?
I’m a big believer in the modern idea of results-oriented evaluation. If a pitcher can sustain a 0.54 ERA with great peripherals, I don’t care whether every pitch he throws is an 80 mph fastball down the middle.
Having said that, I’ve been scratching my head at Koji’s recent success (today notwithstanding). I don’t really understand how he gets people out. His fastball is not overpowering, and I don’t think his individual breaking pitches are generally considered stars by themselves. A fair number of pitches seem to catch a lot of the strike zone as well.
Yet his results are generally good. Why can’t hitters hit him? Does he have late movement on what looks to my ignorant eyes as an average fastball over the plate? (Mariano Rivera throws essentially one pitch whose movement has allowed him to be a star for 15 years.) Does he have excellent command? What is it? Can anyone help me?
It's the sideburns, Bad Horse
They contain magic dragon blood.
As for this game, it was bound to happen. Eventually somebody will put a good swing on a fastball and Swisher did it.
A message was delivered, however. When you get Michael Kay whining like a little chihuahua with a urinary tract infection, you know a message was delivered.
How Singleton can sit in the same booth with the man is beyond me.
i dont know how much this has to do with it
But the mindset of a lot of today’s japanese pitchers is just to go right at hitters with anything. He’s got good command and gets ahead in the count very early. Before the hitters know what happened it’s 0-2 or 1-2.

His splitter is very nasty.
And his control is about as good as it gets in the majors. That makes up for a bad fastball.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
In addition to what everyone else has been saying,
he supposedly has a fairly deceptive delivery, which makes it difficult to pick the ball up right away.
"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

sometimes being a bad ass and an oriole at the same time = RESULTS.

does this shut up the KOJI! KOJI! KOJI! fanboys for awhile?
sucks to blow a save and lose, but if it does, it’s almost worth it.
um never.
Koji is my favorite player on this team and has been since the beginning of the season.

or irabu or nomo or just about anyone but ichiro and maybe godzilla, for that matter. although i’m not entirely sure that they don’t “just shut up and play” because they don’t speak english.
that's the beauty of it
even if they wanted to speak out, most of them can’t. by the way, dice-k > godzilla any day of the week.

KOJI! KOJI! KOJI!
I’ve never seen so many people bitter about fans liking someone on their team. What gives? Nobody says anything when people go LUUUUKE.
I KNOW!
We have a closer people! Enjoy it! He’s fragile. So what? Gonzo has looked good enough to fill his shoes if need be. No one was screaming “EFF LUKE” during his 0 for April May June.
closer schmoser
overrated position. would he still be getting MBP votes for 3 outs in the 7th? i’m not saying eff him, i like the guy, just keep some perspective.
I see what you're saying
I just find him to be a likeable guy, and I don’t think many of our relievers can go on a run of saves like he did haha
well, he's always had an awesome public personality
I just think about the cowboy boots episode with Jamie Walker. Now that he’s had an opportunity to deliver without being hurt he’s been lights out as a pitcher except for yesterday.
cxcxcxcxzzzzzzzzz
Swisher
I always thought this guy was underappreciated. He basically fell into the Yankees’ laps—a former prospect that was kind of unwanted. Kind of like Jeremy Guthrie, the ace we picked up for free.
According to Cot’s, he’s still on a five-year contract that he signed with the A’s that will run through 2011. How a guy with a career OPS+ of 112 at the time of his trade to the Yankees was so easy to get is hard to understand.
Good point
I think the Red Sox had similar “luck” with Youkliss. He simply went under the radar until Billy Beane borrowed him for a couple of years and, until his injury this year, Youkliss was pretty much the guy you do NOT want up in the clutch when playing the Bosox. Yes, he’s probably a dick, but if he were on the Os we’d be celebrating his talents.
he was pretty bad for the white sox
so his stock fell. not sure if there was anything more to it than that, but i remember well b/c he started that year on my fantasy team and stunk it up.
we should probably be encouraged by this series
As much as it sucks to lose today, we won 2 of 3 against a team with the best record in baseball in their stadium. That’s a pretty big deal in itself. Would today have been great to win? Sure. Is it going to make a difference in the season? No.

but bergesen looked great, wieters had a monster opposite field shot, and koji was due to implode. consider the fact that he’s pitching in yankee stadium on one day’s rest against a really good lineup is not surprising. but i’m not gonna let it ruin my day is what i’m saying.

Where are my.........
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.
Deflated
Yesterday, I TIVOd the game and watched it last night. After 8 1/2, I poured myself a well-deserved beer and settled in to watch Koji perform his magic. O, well, at least I had a beer to drown my sorrows. Uncharacteristically, Koji got behind Swisher 2-0 and had to come in with a strike.
Did anyone notice that Gary Thorne, who has an excellent sense of humor by the way, thought that Texiera was playing first base the whole night. I am surprised that noone corrected him. Not Flanny, not anyone in the sound truck, not Dempsey. Very strange.
Consensus on the gamethread was that Thorne had been drunk since about 10 am
