Gameday Thread: Angels at Orioles, 06/30

261987_10150306736470923_747385922_9782182_6616581_a_tiny by Scott Christ on in Gamethreads

Game Time: 7:05 | TV: MASN2, KCOP (LAA) | Radio: WHFS
Bartolo Colon, RH Brian Burres, LH (6-3, 5.90) (3-2, 3.36)

Colon is fat and he sucks. Lots of people think maybe he's pitching hurt, but I think he's pitching fat. It's not that I don't enjoy a fat ballplayer, because I do, but there's a limit to how long fat guys are successful in the bigs. Losing 20 pounds this offseason wouldn't hurt Bartolo, because he's been for shit this season. That undeserved Cy Young of his still sticks in my craw, too. I'm just really not a fan. He's like a Latin Sidney Ponson minus all the baggage. Also even at his worst he's a better pitcher than Ponson. They're both fat. That's my only point.

Brian Burres is a short-term success who will lose his rotation spot sometime in the next two months. Oops, I mean, "Brian Burres has been awesome and is obviously part of the future of Baltimore baseball, a cornerstone of our oncoming turnaround."

Burres
is doing good enough. He just needs to be a little bit more economical with his pitch count if he ever wants to be a major league starter.

He's certainly better than
Trachsel. And maybe Cabrera.

Trachsel to the DL
Birkins called up. According to Roch Olson could get called up for Wed start with Parrish or Birkins sent down. Or Bell could get moved to rotation with Birkins taking his long role. Olson wasn't called up today because they need an arm for the pen.

On a side note, he's our rotation of injured pitchers:

Kris Benson
Jaret Wright
Adam Loewen
Steve Trachsel
Danys Baez (supposedly relief)

That's a lot of arms on the DL at the same time!

With the new All-You-Can-Eat Left Field Club, you'll get a left field club seat (Sec. 280 - 288), with access to the exclusive Club Level of Oriole Park, and an all-you-can-eat pass for unlimited:

Sorry
I didn't post the link. I hope Parrish gets sent down Wed for Olson but I'm betting either Birkins goes or Bell gets the start. Olson should be here the rest of the year so we can get an idea whether he deserves a spot in the rotation going into spring training.If he pitches well our spring rotation would be
Bedard
Guthrie
Loewen
Cabrera
Olson
with Liz and Penn waiting in the wings and we wouldn't have to offer a contract for Benson who we could probably retain for an incentive laden deal. That would also allow McPhail to spend ALL of his attention on the offense. I know you're all screaming bullpen but we're stuck with those guys.

That WAS a 9 iron shot
That ball couldn't have been more than 4 inches off the ground when he hit it. 100 yards, and Palmer's calling a 5 iron? It's a strong wedge, if anything, or a choked-down 9 iron at most.

How do you do the color filtering
where you make the replacement face have the color tones of teh original? I can't figure that out yet.

by duck on Jun 30, 2007 10:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

I haven't either really
But if you select the layer that is the replacement face and "auto-adjust" its levels, it seems to work ok, then just play with the colors and tones a little.  But even then you'll have to use the blur tool to try to get a smoother transition.

Not so much not bright...
but scared to death to make the wrong decision, which led him to making LOTS of wrong decisions he could "justify" by saying "I went by the book on that." Well, the book's wrong in a lot of cases.

Perlozzo just always had a deer-in-headlights look to me.

i dunno...
maybe just ill at ease w/ the media?  unsophisticated?  i just always thought that perlozzo came off like a rube in his post game interviews.  trembley seems like he knows the score.  maybe events will prove the contrary, but for now he's as good as we can hope for.
