Game 153: Orioles (63-89) @ Red Sox (87-66), 7:10 p.m.
Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox, Sep 19, 2011 7:10 PM EDT
Ahoy me hearties! After outslugging th' Sox in today's day game 6-5, the swashbuckling Orioles look t' take game two from the scallywags from Beantown this night.
It'll be a tough go for these landlubbers, as Brian Matusz pitches again' tha' scurvy bilge rat, John Lackey. Both are deservin' of a keelhaulin' for their pathetic seasons, and me heart aches to think of what Matusz coulda been.
Th' season tis good as over for Cap'n Showatler an' his crew, but even again' the hornswaggling Sox they yell, "No quarter!" and hope to raise th' Jolly Roger high in victory.
Aye, 'tis a difficult life, that o' the O's fan. But we splice the mainbrace an' hope to pillage the mangy Sox one more time. Arrrr!

Nolan Reimold has a .500 OBP in his last 10 games
and Jim Hunter says, “Look at those numbers! Particularly the HR and RBI.”
Giraffes have absurdly strong necks.
I'd skewer that landlubber on my cutlass
Even I be knowin’ that gettin’ on base be the most important aspect of a player’s game. Arrrr!

to be fair
Craig Tatum is really, really, really, really terrible, too.
Who on earth sets up behind the plate, thinks, “Gosh, Matusz has a 90 mph meatball with no life,” and then says to himself, “I know! I’ll call for 8 in a row against Lowrie!”
Then, for fun, I’ll ground into a double play my next time up.

Really
I can’t be sure, not being a pitching expert, but was 2011 a huge waste of pitching talent, or are they not that good, or a bunch of guys who do well when nobodies watching?
They'd have great numbers at OPACY if they did well when nobody is watching.

by WestcoastO'sFan on Sep 19, 2011 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions
Exactly
last year he let the kids stay in to work through the tough spots, now he just yanks them at the first sign of trouble(especially Matusz) like we are in a pennant race. This fucker needs to hire someone who can handle a pitching staff or just quit.
"I think not sucking is way more of an important thing to pay attention to first." -- Gabe Newell
you can't let Matusz work through a tough spot
there is nothing to work through. Matusz is AWFUL.
Giraffes have absurdly strong necks.
You need to get him confidence somehow
if Buck’s think he sucks that bad and has that short of a rope he never should have started him in the first place.
"I think not sucking is way more of an important thing to pay attention to first." -- Gabe Newell
or Buck thinks
"I think not sucking is way more of an important thing to pay attention to first." -- Gabe Newell
Whatever has caused his velocity to drop and for him to lose movement,
won’t be solved by getting confidence back.
Then
he shouldn’t have started. This did nothing for the kid.
"I think not sucking is way more of an important thing to pay attention to first." -- Gabe Newell
Positive
anyway.
"I think not sucking is way more of an important thing to pay attention to first." -- Gabe Newell
then what does that have to do with working through tough spots?
Giraffes have absurdly strong necks.
If you are going to give Brian a start
let him pitch until he hits his pitch count. If you are so worried about immediate results then why start him in the first place with the way he’s been pitching. He has no room for error with Buck and at this point of the season that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
"I think not sucking is way more of an important thing to pay attention to first." -- Gabe Newell
because if Matusz pitches until his pitch count
this game might be 900-5?

Anyone read the comments on the Rays game thread for the first O's game?
Pretty funny bunch. It’s great to see some enthusiasm for the O’s off the Camden Chat, pretty solid photoshopping as well on there.

The one that beat the beaneaters
earlier today, and took out of three from tampa.
Lost year for sure, but they’re doing a good job playing spoiler.
And holy shit the Sox are bad right now.

Normally I'd frown on making the third out at third.
However, with Vlad, second might not be scoring position.

He was gone to Norfolk for a while and came back at some point.
Because everyone else sucked more.
