PrintBaltimore Orioles at Detroit Tigers, Sep 23, 2011 7:05 PM EDT
A month ago, I would have bet all my worldly possessions against the possibility, but the Orioles, with six games left, have equaled their win total from last year. It's probably a good thing that I am not a gambling man. In fact, I would have had all money on the O's hitting the much-ballyhooed 100 loss mark. These wins have not come against teams with nothing to play for who are running out scrubs intentionally. The O's have won eight of their last ten games, and these have been against teams that are competing for playoff spots, or heading to the playoffs. It is an inexplicable scenario, but it is reality. It is not a joke.
What does it mean? That is the grand question. Probably nothing more than that we could get a less painful send-off into the offseason than we initially thought. This is still better than nothing, although it would have been much better to be playing this way since June.
Tonight, the series continues against the Tigers. Detroit has something to play for, namely home field advantage in the divisional round. They need to have the same record as or better than Texas to do so, and they enter play today tied. Pitching this game for Detroit is Rick Porcello. The one-time contender for the Rookie of the Year award (3rd place in 2009) has yet to find the magic from that first season. This year, he's averaging less than six innings per start and he's sporting a 4.79 ERA over 169 innings. He may start game 4 of the ALDS.
The O's look to the Sauce, Alfredo Simon. He has made ten starts since the beginning of August and has given up four or more earned runs in six of these ten starts. He is looking more like Weak Sauce, but he has at least survived in the rotation this long, so he will probably be in the conversation for next year too, especially if he can close out the last two starts of this season well.
There are hitters involved in this game too. They are some guys. Miguel Cabrera is really good, Alex Avila, Jhonny Peralta, Matt Wieters and J.J. Hardy are pretty good, a few guys are good, some are okay and the rest suck. At least one run will score in order to assure that the game ends. This could be an expected outcome, like a Cabrera home run, or an unexpected outcome, like Chris Davis working an 0-2 count into a bases-loaded walk. Most likely more than one run will score. Maybe we will be the ones scoring them.

So, during the pre-game interview, new-older J.J. mention that Presley had told him during the spring training that the O’s wanted him to stop concerning himself with trying to hit the ball back up the middle, and instead focus on driving the ball. So he did. And viola! he hits a shit-ton of HRs.
My query, simply is: why the fuck didn’t Presley give this advice to Vlad?

Comment 10,001 and beyond!
Vlad HAS to have some kind of record for RBI THEN getting tossed out on the basepaths right? I mean, he has to be close and just keeps going for it. It’s almost unbelievable how many times it’s happened in the past few weeks.

It wouldn't surprise me if
this was part of Buck’s reasoning for batting Vlad 4th in the order, to keep him high in the order to help get the record. I mean, there’s got to be a reason that wasn’t obvious all season.
"I think not sucking is way more of an important thing to pay attention to first." -- Gabe Newell
Oh Vladdy....
he giveth and he taketh away. But he is certain to entertain; in an absurd way.
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
Does Vlad realize he cannot run that fast, or is the third base coach sending him?
"Harpoon It!" - Rick Dempsey concerning David Ortiz attempting to take home against Nick Markakis 4/27/2011
I think Vladdy just doesn't feel like standing around on the basepaths and potentially having to run again
so he figures ‘fuck it. let’s just get this out of the way right now so I can get back to the dugout and sit down’ and purposefully gets himself thrown out in increasingly absurd ways.

Still in stunned shock
that The Sun is going to a pay model – from DCRTV.com
DCRTV hears that the Baltimore Sun is going to start charging a fee for frequent users of its baltimoresun.com website. On October 10, the Sun will begin offering digital subscriptions which will allow visitors to view an unlimited number of pages, including articles, blogs, photos and videos. Those who do not subscribe will have free access to 15 pages each month. The Sun will offer an introductory rate of 99 cents for the first 4 weeks. After that, digital-only subscribers will have a cost of $2.49 a week or $49.99 for 26 weeks. Print subscribers will receive a reduced rate of 75 cents a week or $29.99 a year. “We are confident (site visitors) will subscribe to maintain access to all of our unique, in-depth local news and information, and we will continue to innovate in ways that provide those readers with the news they want, the way they want it,” according to a memo from Publisher Tim Ryan. “Many other media companies, including the New York Times, Dallas Morning News, and Boston Globe, currently offer digital subscriptions. We believe our expertise in creating and delivering high-quality news positions baltimoresun.com to better serve our customers in the Baltimore area.” DCRTV’s take: A misguided move from a dying newspaper that will dramatically reduce the relevance and popularity of its website.

wow I think that's worse than the NYT
We get the Sunday NYT in print and that gives us full digital access as well. With print Sun you only get a discount???

Who do they think is going to pay for this stuff? That's what I would love to know.
Even a token $30/year to existing subscribers, who is going to pay that? What do they have on there that is worth extra? I’ll use up 15 views a month on the O’s Insider blog and I won’t miss it when I run out because I can go to MASN’s website or Brittany Ghiroli’s Twitter.

Traffic's gonna die on their site.
There is nothing on there worth paying extra for. They might get some digital subscribers out of loyalty or guilt (wanting to preserve a Baltimore institution) but I don’t know if that will offset lost revenue from ads when the traffic plummets and they can’t charge the same to Mr. Tire and Brothers Roofing or whoever else.

It's weird. Play well for two weeks, and everything is different.
When the Orioles fell behind 2-1, I expected them to come back. I expect them to win. Heck, I’m half-expecting them to beat Verlander, and would only be slightly surprised if they sweep the Red Sox.
Please Palmer....
feel free to refrain from bring up the Cap’n and his trademarked ‘Jump Throw’. There is just no need.

I have an online acquaintance who also hates the Rays more now than the Yankees.
Her justification is that they’ve had more brawls and on-field incidents with the Rays than the Yankees, plus the 2009 ALCS was a bitter pill for RSN to swallow. I also remember something about Longoria…can’t remember exactly what.

True, but...
I can’t really fault him for that. The ball went past him and he made a move toward second. If the ball hadn’t caromed like that and he didn’t run, we’d be calling him a bigger dumbass.
You have to know the stadium
There’s so little foul territory here unless the ball goes into the stands you ain’t getting to 2nd and if it goes into the stands you don’t have to make a move toward 2nd.

Man, we used to funnel em down when I lived on base.
I started a new bad habit of daydrinking a couple years back. I used to mainly start drinking at like 4-5 in the late afternoon and get it going strong into the evening/nightcap. Now, it seems like on the weekends Im starting at 11ish, hitting my stride around 4-5, then stammering around sloppy by 9, and completely incoherent by midnight.

Yeah bro
There are 27 of them now. The OC one is the first one. I’ve been there probably a dozen times. Love the smell in that place. I miss it’s a bad smell, but it’s so Ocean City.
My sports bar was Buffalo Wild Wings in Hagerstown for about 5 years and it was awesome, but the Turtle came to town and blew them out. Almost all turtles are completely different so people like to judge it based on the couple they’ve been to. I have mugs at probably 8-9 of them. The one in OC is amazing different from the one at the Verizon Center. And the one I go to in Hagerstown is wayyyyy different than both of those. The one here in Leesburg totally sucks.

I never cared much for it, but when I lived in NYC there was this “all you can drink” sushi place where if you got $12 bucks of food, for an additional $10 you could have unlimited sake and sapporo for 2 hours. I learned to like it there. That place was fucking incredible – the deal was only on Thursday/Friday/Saturday and it was at 7 or 9 and it was basically a restaurant full of blacked out people chanting and banging on the tables. Amazing.

Ugh, I still can't mix booze and food.
I usually end up drinking before I eat and then I have no desire to eat, or I just eat corn for some reason. Or in Vegas, I threw up for the first time because I kept eating pretzels throughout the night and went to go crash on my bed and that didn’t work out well either. So i have learned to plan my drinking around my eating.

So, 2012 infield....
1B Reynolds
2B Andino (Let’s be honest, B-Rob is done)
SS Hardy
3B ???
Who the hell is gonna play 3B next year?
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
In my dream world
It’s Reynolds, Roberts, Hardy, and Andino at 3rd.
If Chris Davis works out the whole off season as a 3B I’d be willing to give that a try. I’d also be up for Adams at 2nd and Dino at 3rd.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Andino's bat does not play at 3B
We’d be better off mid an average FA than Andino at 3B.
At 2B, his OBP is fine. At 3B, we gotta have have a better bat.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
If he's going to be in the lineup what difference does it make which position he's at?
I know we’ve had this discussion before, but I don’t see the logic of somebody’s bat playing at a position. If you have a stronger bat at C and SS than anybody else then you can afford to have a weaker bat at 3B or LF or whatever.
And please no more shitty free agents. It’s obviously going to be a rebuilding year – save your cash and draft picks.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Andino at 2B is a commodity
Andino at 3B is unacceptable, and leaves us with a weaker bat than his at 2B.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
Do we really know what Adams can do?
He’s looked solid at the plate to me. And that’s exactly what we should be doing while we’re 100% going to be shitty – figure out if we have any value in our own system.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Then trade Andino and get a real 3B
Andino at 3B doesn’t solve anything. At 3B, he’d be 8th our of 11 qualifying 3B in OBP, dead last in SLG and 12th in SLG out of 13.
He’s not an option at 3B.

by Wieters Wieners on Sep 23, 2011 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions
I'll just never understand this logic.
If he’s good enough as a hitter to play 2B then he’s good enough as a hitter to play 3B as long as you have better hitters at positions that don’t traditionally have good hitters.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Andino at 2B + competent 3B
yields more offensive production than Andino at 3B and a competent 2B.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
Sure
but why spend money/give up draft picks in a year when it doesn’t matter if we had Pujols’ bat at 2nd and 3rd and we’d still suck? Obviously hyperbole, but still.

"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
I don't mind any of it
as long as we’re not spending money or losing draft picks.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Further
after this year I’m much more concerned with whether the person playing third base can catch the fucking ball than how he stacks up with other teams from a hitting perspective. Dino can catch the ball.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Look
if I thought there was even an outside chance of being competitive next year I’d agree whole heartedly with you, but there isn’t. And you’re either rebuilding or you’re not and signing a “competent 3B” is not.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
And also
we’re NOT trying to solve anything next year, we’re trying to solve things for the future.
And also who cares about position to position comparisons? Is that what the standings are based on?

Would it be in any way legal
to have a designated runner stand behind Vlad in the batter’s box, and if he were to get a hit, take off and run for him?

We gonna lose this one in the bottom of the inning.
Can’t fuck up leadoff on 2nd with nobody down in extra frames.

I'm really hating Adam Jones at the plate right now.
Just flailing away with shoulder and hip flying open and barrel spending as little time as possible in the zone.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
And with that shoulder flying open
he can’t possibly hit anything on the outside half of the plate, yes?

So, I finally turn on the game...
to see the weak grounder to end the inning.
1st and 2nd, 0 out, and the O’s don’t score.
Yup, it’s still the 2011 season.

Do you guys ever start typing into this top bar and get a dropdown of past posts
and have a real urge to just use some random old post as a reply to something?

Hard to imagine not losing in this inning.

jesus christ take him out
When did he get upgraded from mop-up meaningless middle inning guy to high leverage situation guy?
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
It's him or Gregg probably

Horrible pitch calling and horrible pitch.

Horrible pitcher.

That looked like a lot of Wieters' fault
He hit the glove perfectly. His glove should be nowhere near the strike zone there.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Yet another awful 0-2 pitch
Wieters needs to do something different there man. Too many hittable pitches on 0-2 recently.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
we lost?

Remember, there's no such thing as clutch hitting
If you've been away, we still suck. And yes, we willl step outside and say that.
Well good game
hitters shit the bed when it counted. Nice job by the pitchers.

Fuck Verlander
let’s fuck up his ERA.
Matusz is an auto-loss.

15% chance to win tomorrow, 1% chance to win Sunday if Matusz starts.
