GameThread: Red Sox (SS) @ Orioles, 1:05

PrintThe Red Sox dare not bring their entire team to suffer embarrassment at your eventual 2011 Grapefruit League Champion Baltimore Orioles. So, instead, we get about half their team.
This game is actually being broadcast on radio in Baltimore on WBAL and the usual MLB mobile and computer outlets. If you're in NESN's market, you were originally scheduled to get this game, but it's been switched to the BOS/FLA split-squad game instead. Can't have the denizens of Red Sox Nation going into a collective depression just yet at the realization they're already playing for second.
According to The (Baltimore) Sun, Brad Bergesen will make his second exhibition start. Mark Hendrickson, Jim Johnson. Michael Gonzalez and Clay Rapada also are scheduled to pitch. Alfredo Aceves will start for Boston.
Let's Go O's!

“You know the Red Sox, they love their offensive players.”
Yes, wanting good players is prolly a good idea.
If you look at those UZR ratings or whatever
Maybe he meant their players are offensive.
I am certainly offended by Papelbon, Pedroia, Beckett, Youkilis et al.

nice job by 3e there. gave up an IF single and a crawford single with 1 out before getting a popup and a K
a little disappointing that crawford got his first ST hit off of bergie though
"Girls laughed at me my whole life, doesn't mean I was funny"
-Gary Thorne
So bergie gave up two hits in the top
but a strikeout got them out of the inning
winsome

Bergy with a STRONG 3rd
1 pitch single, 1 pitch gidp, K on 3 pitches… Bergy decided that it wasn’t fair to make the sox play the 4-1 orioles without a 3 run cushion, then he busted out the good stuff
wieters with a single
sending hardy to 3rd
what a bum

O's on the board courtesy
“Big” Joe Mahoney… I don’t know if that is his nickname or not but the word “Big” should always preface a name like Joe Mahoney… agreed?
yes...
that was what we called sam horn back in the day. some of us, anyways.
this was when we posted on actual cork bulletin boards.
"the secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits"
What is this cork you speak of?
I thought that stuff was only used in Sammy Sosa brand baseball bats?
Aw, B-Rob...
gotta at least move them over.

1 bad run for Bergy
That 3rd inning was superb though, hopefully he can make that the standard this year
dudes!
he’s not supposed to do that!
bah.

Joe Angel seems to think he hit the ball hard both times!

Joe Angel on JJ Hardy
“Born in Arizona, still lives in Arizona” with some disdain at the second part…

Is it weird for me to believe that...
Reynolds will snap out of it quickly while Luke might struggle for a long while…

He's gonna get all his slumps out of the way in ST
and the season will be one long, record-breaking streak of HRs.
I have a huge mancrush on JJ Hardy
First time my dad ever let me help him with his “cost money to play” fantasy team he allowed me to pick the first minor leaguer we took in the supplemental draft, i picked jj hardy, rooted for him ever since
Matusz had to fly to Philly to have wart removed?
I guess that makes sense.
If you look at those UZR ratings or whatever
Heading to Philly on Wednesday
For a big job placement conference: can’t wait for the conference, unsure of Philly as I have never been there and only ever though horrid things about it.

I was wondering
he had this wart last year, he says it doesn’t bother him, so he waited until the third week of Spring Training to fly to Philly to get it removed?

Wieters got hit in the hand with the bat
doesn’t sound serious, but we’ll see

He was not removed,

Thread fucking wins.
It could be worse. You could be dead. Or you could be alive and counting on Nolan Reimold.
so...
just looking above, rapada’s scheduled to pitch again. does it seem like he’s been given a lot of reps?
"the secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits"
He's not around much,
but James cited Mahoney as a guy he would rather give a major league shot to over eight million dollar wrist-hurting Derrek Lee

men on 2nd and 3rd

Markakis had the best batting average against lefties by a lefty
That’s interesting to me. When he was recalled, Markakis really struggled against lefties.
If you look at those UZR ratings or whatever
nick sounded like he kinda lost his game there
expanding the zone right into a strikeout

that's fair
over the past three seasons, only Markakis and Lee have a better hitting line than Luke, but it’s pretty close (and of course Lee was in the weaker league and is in more of a decline phase of his career now)…so why would you want to get rid of probably our second best hitter?
FROG SAYS PROTECT HOME
And if we knock Luke a bit for his career '10,
don’t we have to knock Nick a bit for his career ’08?
"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
of course we do
but I’ll still play by whatever arbitrary rules we want to use.
Full disclosure: I think there’s a decent chance Luke is moved over the summer, especially if Nolan has a big bounceback early summer, and I’d probably say that it’ll be a good thing given his contract status and age….but I’m sort of dreading it because he’s been a terribly underrated force in our lineup.
FROG SAYS PROTECT HOME
Yeah, this sounds about right.

Mid-July:
Scott for Joe Blanton?
It could be worse. You could be dead. Or you could be alive and counting on Nolan Reimold.
Yeah, that was for someone bringing up
Daniel Cabrera the other day. I hold grudges, people.
It could be worse. You could be dead. Or you could be alive and counting on Nolan Reimold.
because I don't see him as part of the future
…given that he has this year and next year under contract (and that after his contract is up, he won’t be a good signing), he’s not likely to be around in 2013. so why not maximize his value by re-investing it in the farm system by trading him?
i understand that he wasn’t quite his normal streaky self last year, but i have no faith that he won’t be the streaky guy were used to this year.

the Red Sox could run out of players relatively quickly, so I’d guess it’s up to them how long they’ll play
