PrintBaltimore Orioles at Detroit Tigers, Sep 25, 2011 1:05 PM EDT
Today is your last chance to see the Orioles play teh base-ball in daylight this year. Of course, you'd have to live in Michigan to do that. The Orioles' and Tigers' records are mirror images of each other, with one team making plans for October contests, and the other headed to the Diamond Ridge golf course at the end of next week.
The Orioles' website sunnily claims,
...overlooking the fact that barring a no-hitter today, Matusz will be viewed in the rear view mirror this offseason as the skinny-armed guy whose biceps are CLEARLY smaller than a year ago, and WHY DOESN'T HE WORK OUT MORE, the yutz? At least in some quarters.
The Tigers have a Matusz-esque pitcher of their own, one Brad Penny of former greatness. Detroit's official site says Penny is "making his pitch for the postseason roster." Judging by the comments in the article, Detroit fans would have it otherwise. Not quite as skinny-armed as B-Mat, Penny has given up 42 runs in his last 53 innings (over a ten-game stretch), with a staggering WHIP of 1.9. His ERA sits at 5.31, just slightly less than half of Matusz's 10.68. Back on August 12, the O's tagged him for 4 runs in 5 innings.
In other words, expect a riveting pitcher's duel at Comerica today.
Fact: The Orioles have won 9 of their last 12 games.
If we trade Jeremy Giambi to the Phillies and get rid of Peña, we might just turn this thing around.

Same thing with football … 1 PM ET = 9 AM in AK. Pretty cool.

Yay!!! Go Orioles!!!
Your constant losing and refusal to amend your ways may have crushed my spirit, but the final electrical impulses coming from the black pit where my soul used to be force me to watch you flail uselessly against clearly superior competition while muttering to yourselves: “Well, at least we won a couple more games than last year.”
Go ahead, field a team I would be embarassed to watch at High-A level! I don’t care anymore! Any human feelings but shame and relief that this nightmare season will soon be over have been stamped out of me by Kevin Gregg-induced heart attacks and Vlad’s hacking at any pitch in the stadium. But know this! I will return! I will triumph over your inadequecies until one day, many years from now, you become a real Major League baseball team. And then, on that glorious day, I will feel pride. I will have won.

yes, he always has his "new thing"
which will “prove” what a “versatile actor” he is.

I think both are earned.
The reasoning would be that there would have been two outs with a man on regardless of the error on that play.
So the “two out/unearned run” thing doesn’t apply in that instance because you can’t say the inning would have been over.

Matusz's ERA is lower than it was when he started the game!

The real question is
Of the “40+ innings pitched” worst ERA stat, Halladay is at the top with 10.64 in 2000.
Matusz entered today’s game at 10.68 with 44 2/3 IP.
After 3 ER in 3 IP, he’s lowered his ERA to 10.57.
Beset by injuries and poor performances...
… the SF Giants have only one hitter with enough PAs to qualify: Aubrey Huff.

The joys of September baseball
When the games are worthless in the standings, we get “extended spring training” in September.
This is why we need a massive change in the season and postseason schedule.
The forfeit lineup is not unique to September
It’s an all-year round thing for the Orioles for some reason.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
well that’s a different issue.
It’s more that the Orioles are not the only team with “MLB tryout” lineups in September.
I'm not talking about the tryout lineups
This is just a different version of their all year sunday forfeit lineup. Instead of Adams and Pie it’s Hudson and Florimon.

Am I the only who thinks this DR hit record is silly?
Like if he gets it in Detroit are they going to put something up on the scoreboard and try to generate an ovation for him??

Matusz is 5 outs from a QS. At the moment, THAT amazes me more than the DR hit record

-shrug- He's taking pride in his heritage, and that's fine.
Doesn’t mean anything to me, but it does to him.
As to what Detroit might do, who knows.
That's not really what I'm talking about
It’s fine for him to take pride in it, but why is MASN talking about it?

Geez Cabrera is huge.
I remember when he was on the Marlins’ 2003 championship team. Back then he had a much more athletic build.
Oh, Bri
So close.
Better go hit the gym and bulk up.

0.01 higher than what he entered the day with.
So much for lowering his ERA (assuming he doesn’t come back to pitch another inning).
Just because he swung and missed doesn't make it a good curve ball Jim.

Rumor has it
that the “foot” in football originally referred to the fact that the game was played on foot, as opposed to played on horses (i.e. poor man’s game vs. rich man’s game).
So, how WOULD you define the term "slow news day"?

Why yes-- yes it is
“Enough is enough. If I wanted a model or a television star I would have married one a long time ago. All I wanted was a housewife.”
The obvious question: Why didn’t he marry a house?

For those keeping score in the worst ERA chase
Halladay’s ERA in 2000 = 10.640
Matusz’s ERA now = 10.691
Matusz’s ERA if he gets one more out w/o a run: 10.62
He's going to come in.
No one has anything to lose by leaving him in.

Fantastic pre-game write-up
Matusz is such a lush.
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

So does Buck give Matusz a quick relief appearance in a later game?
Or does he seal his fate, making him worst ERA 40+ IP pitcher?
As bad as he’s pitched, Matusz could have gotten one more out in this game. Probably.
Forget it. It's over.

I went off to watch football
Not that I care much more about the NYG-PHI game, but one of ‘em will probably lose, so that’s a good thing. 22-16 NYG right now.
Reimold now has as many HR as Vlad
In half as many PA.

The worst thing about signing Vlad was the logjam.
It always was. We paid $8 million to gum up the works. Vlad has offered little positive value to the team as an exclusive DH who was slow, never took walks and had below average power.
In return we had to suffer Luke Scott in left field, delaying the Pie/Reimold appearance until after Luke finally hit the DL (itself something that took too long), and then stuck with Pie way longer before going to Reimold. It would easily be the worst move of the last offseason if it wasn’t for Kevin Gregg.

buck bears much of the responsibility
he’s the one who, for whatever reason, hates reimold

There has to be some pressure on him.
He’s not stupid. He’s been on the field long enough to see that Luke couldn’t play and Pie is shit.

According to mlbtraderumors
Buck will have a significant role in the front office this off season. They may hire a GM, but Buck will act as the de facto GM.
by brek on Sep 25, 2011 4:14 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
maybe buck will trade for adam eaton again.

The MFY beat PHN and TB beats TOR!!!!
TB now 0.5 GB in the wildcard and can tie if the PHN lose tonight (Lackey is the starter).
