Baltimore vs. New York, May 22...

[BillySmith]

Wow. I've never got to do this before.

We have Huff at 3rd and Payton in the 2 hole.

Burres just had a six pitch first inning. The Yanks are swinging away.

[Mu'ayyidSaafir]

Jeez, Nick didn't even high five anyone in the middle of that play. How pedestrian. Ignore it at will, media.

[BillySmith]

I've only got Gameday here in SE PA. How close was Kevin's fly to a HR?

[Mu'ayyidSaafir]

I've only got Gameday here in SE PA. How close was Kevin's fly to a HR?

Not especially close. Close to the line, in front of the warning track. Maybe 280-290 feet?

[BillySmith]

Just 10 more pitches that inning.

[BillySmith]

Not especially close. Close to the line, in front of the warning track. Maybe 280-290 feet?


Thanks. Gameday can be very misleading that way. So what's your prediction tonight, since it might be just us for awhile? I say Burrres goes 7 and we win 3-2.

[VivianDarkbloom]

Heard on YES that Burres is the reigning decision streak leader, with 17 consecutive.

[wickedwitch]

Past a diving Jeter!

[Icterus galbula]

Adam Jones has heated up this week.

[Orioles Magic]

Sup Everybody! Orioles Magic is here. Time to let the magic happen! :D

[BillySmith]

Heard on YES that Burres is the reigning decision streak leader, with 17 consecutive.


So, Vivian. Are you a writer, a gymnast, both? Not that I'm trying to be invasive.

[aggro5288]

BYNUMMM

Nice to see them running for a while.

[BillySmith]

Boom Boom Bynum.

[Icterus galbula]

O's jump on top 1-0.

[HeatherC12]

I'm here but I'm also in class so don't mind me if I'm just following along right now, LOL ;)

Go O's!! :)

[VivianDarkbloom]

So, Vivian. Are you a writer, a gymnast, both? Not that I'm trying to be invasive.

Oh, I'd very much love to be both. However, my natural abilities lean more towards the former.

[Orioles Magic]

Come on lets slap Kennedy around some. One good rookie bashing deserves another.

[BillySmith]

Oh, I'd very much love to be both. However, my natural abilities lean more towards the former.

Lucky guess.

[Palmer Esque]

Bynum did a great job in that rundown. Tested Giambi who has a terrible arm and got BROB to second. Smart play.

[Orioles Magic]

Nice steal B-rob. Come on Payton bring em home.

[Icterus galbula]

Roberts walked then stole second, runners on 2nd and 3rd for Payton.

[Orioles Magic]

Bynum did a great job in that rundown. Tested Giambi who has a terrible arm and got BROB to second. Smart play.

Thanks for the details. Stuck with Gameday here and they had it as a straight steal.

[VivianDarkbloom]

That was hilarious watching Brob go into a slide in the middle of the basepath...excellent tactical move. Giambi can't throw and he just proved it.

[brvn52]

Good patience by BRob and Payton. Way to load the bases for Kakes.

[MurphDogg]

Alright guys, lets put some runs on the board, I have class at 5:00, can only watch one more batter...

[Icterus galbula]

Bases juiced for Markakis!

[Orioles Magic]

Bases juiced for Kakes! ;)

[Palmer Esque]

Markakis is thinking too much at the plate. Bad AB.

[BillySmith]

Disturbing. Nick is not right.

[Orioles Magic]

Huff Daddy... BOOOOOO! :D (now knock in some runs)

[elrod7]

Something doesn't look right with Nick. He's looked like a very mediocre hitter of late.

[mrbig1]

Nick baby, what up?

[Palmer Esque]

This umpire has a low strike zone.

[Icterus galbula]

It seems like once every week or two MLBtv freezes me out with a message that says I am one simple step away from upgrading, etc. etc. but doesn't let me watch the games on my own normal account. Does anyone else have a problem? Its horrible if its intentional freezing out just to get people to spend more money.

[Palmer Esque]

Hope that inning does not come back and bite us. We need every run we can get in Yankee Stadium.

[Orioles Magic]

Oh well. At least we are on the board. Let's go Burres!

[ilovetheos]

That right there is the difference between a good team and a great team....No chance the Red Sox leave the bases loaded with 1 out. We are close, just not quite there yet.

[BillySmith]

The Yanks are swinging at everything. There doesn't seem much question that before last night's game there was a concious decision to start swinging the lumber to untrack that offense. Hope Burres has it in him. He's only at 22 pitches.

[LAOSfan]

That right there is the difference between a good team and a great team....No chance the Red Sox leave the bases loaded with 1 out. We are close, just not quite there yet.

Didn't the Red Sox just do that against us last week? And, I think they had no outs.

[Palmer Esque]

Damon is enfuego. Everything is a rope.

[elrod7]

That right there is the difference between a good team and a great team....No chance the Red Sox leave the bases loaded with 1 out. We are close, just not quite there yet.


Well... lets be honest... this team is neither good nor great. Mediocre AT BEST.

[BillySmith]

Jeter looks like one of the Backstreet Boys. Man I hate him.

[brvn52]

26 pitches through 3 innings by Burres. Nice to see.

[Icterus galbula]

That right there is the difference between a good team and a great team....No chance the Red Sox leave the bases loaded with 1 out. We are close, just not quite there yet.

Just looked it up:

The Red Sox have a OPS of .646 with the bases loaded: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/batting?team=bos&season=2008&seasonType=2&split=94&cat=avg&order=true&type=reg

We have a still somewhat-low .670: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/batting?team=bal&season=2008&seasonType=2&split=94&cat=avg&order=true&type=reg

Its not why we're not the Red Sox.

[LA2]

That was hilarious watching Brob go into a slide in the middle of the basepath...excellent tactical move. Giambi can't throw and he just proved it.

?? Can you describe what happened?

[itsernst]

I bought the premium and i have never had it freeze up on me. So they may do that so you will upgrade.

[BillySmith]

?? Can you describe what happened?


I'll do it, Vivian.

It was a dark and stormy night. BRob was on first. The Yankees tried a pitchout...

Actually I have no clue. I'm on Gameday.

[MiggysTHEMAN]

Dear Gary Thorne,

Stop calling Adam Jones "Adams", as if his last name is Adams. It is not that hard to get players' names right, it is your job.

Thank you.

[Palmer Esque]

I'll do it, Vivian.

It was a dark and stormy night. BRob was on first. The Yankees tried a pitchout...

Actually I have no clue. I'm on Gameday.

Thorne said Roberts slipped trying to steal on the pitchout, then when he was in a rundown, Bynum got caught in a rundown and knew he could get back to third because of Giambi's weak arm. This enabled Roberts to get to second safely, and he was given a stolen base thanks to boom boom Bynum.

[Nemyar]

I think Gary Thorne just referred to Adam Jones as "Adams" three times during one play...

[brvn52]

?? Can you describe what happened?

BRob went to steal 2nd, but there was a pitchout. He tripped half-way to second and got in a rundown. Realizing what was going on, Bynum baited a throw as soon as Giambi got the ball. Giambi took the bait and threw to 3rd. Bynum was safe and BRob was able to advance to 2nd.

Bynum is really to credit for BRob's steal.

[MiggysTHEMAN]

I think Gary Thorne just referred to Adam Jones as "Adams" three times during one play...


Yea, Thorne is awful.

[VivianDarkbloom]

BRob went to steal 2nd, but there was a pitchout. He tripped half-way to second and got in a rundown. Realizing what was going on, Bynum baited a throw as soon as Giambi got the ball. Giambi took the bait and threw to 3rd. Bynum was safe and BRob was able to advance to 2nd.

Bynum is really to credit for BRob's steal.

The YES announcers said that Brob went down on purpose. They said it was a set play, which they attributed to Billy Martin. I think they're right. Brob didn't go down awkwardly, he casually slid to a stop and popped up.

[RShack]

[tangent ON]

Is the whole site crawling, and resetting connections every 5 seconds, and etc?

Or is the site fine, and maybe there's just a lot of junk clogging up the tubes between here and there?

(Other sites are responding fine down here, but not this one.)

[tangent OFF]

[Palmer Esque]

The YES announcers said that Brob went down on purpose. They said it was a set play, which they attributed to Billy Martin. I think they're right. Brob didn't go down awkwardly, he casually slid to a stop and popped up.

Thanks for the clarification. We were simply going by what Thorne said, which was obviously erroneous.

[LA2]

Bynum is really to credit for BRob's steal.

And to think that they did this all during a dark and stormy night, when the visibility is so poor!

[BillySmith]

The YES announcers said that Brob went down on purpose. They said it was a set play, which they attributed to Billy Martin. I think they're right. Brob didn't go down awkwardly, he casually slid to a stop and popped up.

If that is true, Roch has to be on top of that for a little story. I have never heard of that play. Seems pretty risky if it's the play from the very get go. Maybe it's the play only when you're caught by a pitchout?

[LA2]

The YES announcers said that Brob went down on purpose. They said it was a set play, which they attributed to Billy Martin. I think they're right. Brob didn't go down awkwardly, he casually slid to a stop and popped up.

Is the purpose of that set play to get the runner on third home?

I love the way Bynum plays. Maybe training him into an infield position (like Mora moving to third a few years ago) shd be an off-season project (or in the minors this season).

[HeatherC12]

Is there a delay in the game?

Edit: Nope, just a delay at Yahoo, LOL

[wickedwitch]

Is there a delay in the game?

Edit: Nope, just a delay at Yahoo, LOL

No.

characters

[LAOSfan]

In the words of Earl Weaver: " g.d. [freakin] fleas on the base paths gettin thrown out."

[VivianDarkbloom]

Is the purpose of that set play to get the runner on third home?


Yes, they were saying it was designed to force Giambi to make a good throw. Bynum was barely half-way to home when Giambi was staring at him, so I guess he thought his best bet was retreating to third.

Meanwhile, Molina throws out Bynum.

[JTrea81]

Gotta swing at that one Roberts...

[BillySmith]

As bad as we're hitting, we have Ian Kennedy up to 80 pitches through five. Maybe we'll have better luck with the pen eventually.

[HeatherC12]

Um, Kennedy has struck out Brian once and Nick twice. I thought that kid sucked?! What's up with this?! :eek:

I think both teams used up all their runs in the last two games. :(

[ilovetheos]

just you watch, that inning is going to come back and bite us, but I hope it doesn't

[ilovetheos]

Nice quick inning for Burress there :)

[ilovetheos]

kinda dead in here tonight isn't it?

[HeatherC12]

B-U-R-R-E-S (Sorry, I'm having a fit over spelling tonight, LOL ;))

Get this man some runs guys!

[JTrea81]

Payton gets it started. Let's see if we can run the bases smarter this time around...

[ilovetheos]

B-U-R-R-E-S (Sorry, I'm having a fit over spelling tonight, LOL ;))

Get this man some runs guys!

That's what I thought it was, but I second-guessed myself.

[HeatherC12]

That's what I thought it was, but I second-guessed myself.

It happens sometimes. No worries! :)

Come on Nick!

[JTrea81]

Might be time for Nick to take a seat for a game or two...

[letsgoos]

This is going to be the inning for us

[ilovetheos]

wow Kakes is really struggling tonight, he may need a extra side session with the Crow.

[ilovetheos]

yeah, doesn't look good getting blown away by a 88 mph fastball.

[brvn52]

Might be time for Nick to take a seat for a game or two...

Read my mind.

Give him a day off in the TB series and see if he snaps out of it. If he hasn't by next weekend, give him another day off. Hopefully by that point he can snap out of it.

[Palmer Esque]

wow Kakes is really struggling tonight, he may need a extra side session with the Crow.

I think a day off would work miracles for him. He is too good of a hitter, just needs a mental day off.

[Ozone]

Looks like that extra work with Crow is really paying off for Nick.

[Palmer Esque]

Read my mind.

Give him a day off in the TB series and see if he snaps out of it. If he hasn't by next weekend, give him another day off. Hopefully by that point he can snap out of it.

Haha and you read my mind

[jamessemaj]

Nick can't hit the high heat well at all at this point in his career. And, right now, he can't lay off of the ones that are balls.

[JTrea81]

Ok Millar time to deliver here...

[VivianDarkbloom]

Might be time for Nick to take a seat for a game or two...

Well he should get a day off even if he had 3 homers tonight. He's played every game this year...that isn't necessary no matter his performance.

[ilovetheos]

make it hurt Millar!

[ilovetheos]

how's the Yanks bullpen this year besides Joba and Rivera?

[ilovetheos]

We are taking too many good pitches tonight.

[JTrea81]

Way to be clutch there... :rolleyestf:

C'mon LUUUUUKE!

[Icterus galbula]

how's the Yanks bullpen this year besides Joba and Rivera?

Hawkins has been pretty turd-a-rific. Ohlendorf equally as bad.


http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/pitching?team=nyy&season=2008&seasonType=2&split=128&cat=ERA&order=false&type=std

[Palmer Esque]

Wow we are swinging through alot of Kennedys fastballs tonight. Shocking to me.

[JTrea81]

Ugh, another time we can't get RISP in. Kennedy is not that good...

[Palmer Esque]

And we wasted that inning.

Against the Yanks in their place that is never a good thing.

Come on Burres. Stay clutch here in the bottom of the sixth.

[HeatherC12]

Does Kennedy come back after 97 pitches? I hope not.

[Icterus galbula]

Gameday said that Burres opened up the AB with a cutter with an 8" break! Is that right?

EDIT: To jeter

[itsernst]

Man...i dont want to go to class...i already took my final!

Damn teacher...:vader::vader:

[itsernst]

Burres only at 62 pitches too! :eek:

[Palmer Esque]

What an inning by Burres. He is quietly becoming a really good starting pitcher.

[VivianDarkbloom]

Burres looks good. 0 BB!

[HeatherC12]

I am so impressed with Burres tonight. Just K'd A-Rod! Dang, he's really quieted that Stankee lineup! :eek:

GO BrianB! PLEASE get him some runs so he can get a win tonight! :D

[RShack]

That right there is the difference between a good team and a great team....No chance the Red Sox leave the bases loaded with 1 out. We are close, just not quite there yet.
Um, last Tuesday in Baltimore:
Top of the 7th, O's up by 2, Nobody out
Casey on 3rd
Pedroia on 2nd
Ortiz on 1st
JJ gets Manny to hit into a 1-2-3 DP, 2 outs
Lowell F7 to Payton, 3 outs
So, the Red Sox had the bases loaded, nobody out, and zero Red Sox scored
I not only lovetheos, I watch them too ;-)

ps: Dunno if anybody else is having trouble, but on this end it's taking like 5 minutes for a page to load...

[JTrea81]

Park one, Ramon!

[HeatherC12]

Park one, Ramon!

Or just hit a single, LOL :laughlol:

GO O's!!!

[JTrea81]

Let's go Jonesy...

[The Rick]

Park one, Ramon!

He sort of did. Good call. :clap3:

[The Rick]

I get sick and tired of damn Yankees fans giving Jeter a BJ every time he makes a routine play. Morons!

[JTrea81]

I get sick and tired of damn Yankees fans giving Jeter a BJ every time he makes a routine play. Morons!

I'm sure it will make Webgems on BBTN... :rolleyes:

[HeatherC12]

I'm sure it will make Webgems on BBTN... :rolleyes:

They give him a virtual one almost every night. *mad annoying* :rolleyes:

[JTrea81]

C'mon Roberts, time to do something clutch...

[The Rick]

Are you serious BRob? Holy cow.

[Palmer Esque]

BROB looks more than lost to tonight, looks completely out of it.

[JTrea81]

Gee BRob, too tired to swing or what? :angryfire:

Both Roberts and Markakis need a benching...

[HeatherC12]

K LOOKING!?! TWICE in one night!?? Brian needs a night off too. :(

[itsernst]

What is the deal?!?!?!

Why can we not protect the plate with 2 strikes???
I don't get it!!!!!!

[The Rick]

Gee BRob, too tired to swing or what? :angryfire:

Too tired? And Palmer mentioned Nick looks exhausted? What the hell, I guess 3 off days in 11 days is tiresome now days? I don't even get that many off days in 11 days.

At least with Roberts it's an aberration. It's very unlike him.

[JTrea81]

Too tired? And Palmer mentioned Nick looks exhausted? What the hell, I guess 3 off days in 11 days is tiresome now days? I don't even get that many off days in 11 days.

Maybe they are hitting the NYC nightlife: aka Scores...;)

[The Rick]

Maybe they are hitting the NYC nightlife: aka Scores...;)

Now that would make sense...

[JTrea81]

If I were Trembley, I'd yank Roberts out of the game right now after that pathetic AB...

[Orioles Magic]

This series is within reach. We need to take 2 out of 3 in N.Y. O's need to find a way to scratch out some runs and make them stand up.

[The Rick]

If I were Trembley, I'd yank Roberts out of the game right now after that pathetic AB...

I wouldn't. As furious as that made me for a hot second, it was Brian Roberts. He's due a mulligan every now and again. He by far gives us a better shot to get a key hit later when we need it than anyone else would. Over the course of 600+ AB's, this will happen... no biggie.

[The Rick]

Hats off to Brian Burres tonight. He's having (or had) himself quite a ball game.

[JTrea81]

Farnsworth is in. I hope the O's have extra padding in their helmets...

[mrbig1]

OK now let's get some runs

[JTrea81]

What the heck is with all these called strikes? Swing the freaking bat already! :angryfire:

A little too soon there Nick...

[brvn52]

Time for Kakes to make up for the rest of the night.

[JTrea81]

This game's got extra innnings all over it. If we can survive the ninth...

[JTrea81]

The plane must be leaving at 10 tonight...

[Crazysilver03]

Burres' 61 strikes to 25 balls is ridiculous.

[JTrea81]

Looks like Burres has lost the touch on his curve...

[JTrea81]

Ugh, I hate Damon...

That will probably be it for Burres...

Here comes JJ...

[Mashed Potatoes]

I like Trembley's call here, I was about to post that he should be pulled immediately.

Awesome start Brian!

[Who's On 1st]

Here comes JJ.........
Yeah great game for Brian.

[Crazysilver03]

WOWOWOW.

Burres lowers his ERA to 3.16, against NYY, and in nearly the last week of May.

[Orioles Magic]

I like Trembley's call here, I was about to post that he should be pulled immediately.

Awesome start Brian!

Yeah good job Burres. Let's hope the O's make the most out of the effort.

[JTrea81]

Nice job JJ.

It's up to you Luke. Use the force and give the O's a win...

After Millar bats of course... ;)

[Orioles Magic]

Way to go Johnson. Good job getting Jeter.

[Orange Bird]

The Skanks have got to be shaking their heads in disgust. Burres leaves and now Johnson's the reliever. That's a pretty good 1-2 punch right in their guts.

[Orioles Magic]

Nice job JJ.

It's up to you Luke. Use the force and give the O's a win...

After Millar...

Luke. The Force. The Evil Empire. What more could you ask for? :)

[JTrea81]

Luke. The Force. The Evil Empire. What more could you ask for? :)

I'm surprised we don't see Joba the Hutt. Apparently they want to stretch him out so I wouldn't be surprised to see him after Rivera if we don't score here...

[Orioles Magic]

I'm surprised we don't see Joba the Hutt. Apparently they want to stretch him out so I wouldn't be surprised to see him after Rivera if we don't score here...

Nice. :laughlol: As long as it ends with the Deathstar blowing up, its all good!

[JTrea81]

Blast one out of here Ramon!

Well at least he tried...

Ok JJ, let's have a 1-2-3 and get them in extras...

[Orioles Magic]

Going through the heart of the Yankee line-up in the 9th. Come on J.J. mow them down!

[JTrea81]

C'mon JJ go after him...

[JTrea81]

It would be spectacular if we could get the DP here...

[LookinUp]

Matsui is one hell of a hitter.

[Balmer Bomber]

I don't know who else is watching the YES broadcast, but it seems like every game there is someone sitting very close to the booth and you can hear someone banging their plate with silverwear.

It's so distracting. I'm thinking about muting the tv and going to radio.

[Orioles Magic]

Come on, lets get a double play ball here.

[JTrea81]

Sit down A-Rod...

[mrbig1]

I don't feel good about this

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon JJ, get after 'em

[JTrea81]

What's the delay?

[Crazysilver03]

What is the on-field delay?

[Orioles Magic]

Nice strike out!

[fansince71]

Wow how weird is it to look at our pitching lines and seeing no walks!

[cindyluvsbrady]

Hi all:)
I see evil ones are throwing fits:angryfire:

[Balmer Bomber]

How weird of a play is that. It's the right call but something I have never seen before. I have seen that called a foul ball, but never caught for a third strike.

[Who's On 1st]

Hi all:)
I see evil ones are throwing fits:angryfire:


It wasn't nothing like Billy Martin.........

[JTrea81]

Ok let's get Abreu and get to extras...

[Balmer Bomber]

What is the on-field delay?

The pitch hit the knob of Giambi's bat, and Ramon held on for strike three.

Girardi came out to argue to no avail. He was tossed.

It was a heads up play by Ramon to point out to the ump that the ball hit the knob.

[fansince71]

Wow how weird is it to look at our pitching lines and seeing no walks!

Damnit the hell:cussing: Jinxed us

[JTrea81]

Wow how weird is it to look at our pitching lines and seeing no walks!

You were saying...

[cindyluvsbrady]

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES Win Os:eektf:

[JTrea81]

Get Cano JJ and get out of this...

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon JJ, shut 'em down

[Miller192]

This strike zone has gotten a little tighter

[mrbig1]

Come on JJ go get'em

[fansince71]

Nick will throw out Matsui if cano gets lucky here.

[WEAVERMAN]

This strike zone has gotten a little tighter

Tight for us, big for them

[cindyluvsbrady]

I am MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:angryfire:
They are TRULY evil:angryfire:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JTrea81]

What a way to lose.

Trembley needs to do something about this hitting or lack there of...

[Miller192]

Well, not the best throw in the world....good game. Glad to see BB pitch well.

[Icterus galbula]

F this I'm getting fast food.

[Miller192]

I a little surprised we didn't go to Sherrill at all in the inning.

[Orioles Magic]

Sucks. Waste of a good pitching effort tonight. Oh well, the Empire Strikes Back. Good nite. :(

[clapdiddy]

Sorry for coming in late, but am I the ONLY one who thought Abreu should've been struck out? The 2-0 pitch was a strike...and so was the 3-1 pitch. :cussing:

[WEAVERMAN]

Fine pitching, but the hitting is a joke.

[Mackus]

Noodle Arm in left!

[fansince71]

F'n walks kill ya:cussing:

[mrbig1]

Broken hearted.

[Burg]

What a way to lose.

Trembley needs to do something about this hitting or lack there of...

How in the hell is Trembley supposed to do something about the offense?

We need to acquire/develop talented offensive players, not blame the manager.

[RShack]

I a little surprised we didn't go to Sherrill at all in the inning.
Nah, saving him for when we get the lead... which we won't...

Too bad about the high throw from LF. A good throw would've made for a great play at the plate.

Oh, well... the MFY's sure look ecstatic about beating the O's... with good reason... we'll get 'em next time, you just watch and see...

[baltosravns2110]

Grrrrrr. I hate payton. I said CANO hit it to right or center and we will go to extras unless we get you out. Why dont you listen? Payton is just in the way. I really don't like him. I didn't even like him when he hit the grand slam.Tonight isn't his fault but it gives me another excuse, his stupid middle of the road arm, with 0 accuracy. The first thing I said when he hit the grand slam, I was happy, but I said "YES, it will increase his trade value." That is how you know you don't like a player and he is in the way. I would rather trade him with a couple others to get someone and bring Reimold or someone else up.

[OK_Os_Fan]

Did Girardi stay out there long enough to throw Jhonson off his game ? Why the he!! did the upm allow that ?

[bird watcher]

Fine pitching, but the hitting is a joke.

You have to wonder if Scott or Reimold make that throw. When the ball was hit there my very first thought was UH-OH Payton will not make this throw.

[baltosravns2110]

Sorry for coming in late, but am I the ONLY one who thought Abreu should've been struck out? The 2-0 pitch was a strike...and so was the 3-1 pitch. :cussing:
Yeah they were all in the same spot. Even abreu yelled when the one pitch was a ball, then the exact same pitch was a strike. Ramon and abreu were giving the umpire hell.

[RShack]

Did Girardi stay out there long enough to throw Jhonson off his game ? Why the he!! did the upm allow that ?
It was just your basic I'm-getting-tossed fit. Nothing special about it.
What's the ump supposed to do, call the cops and get him locked up?
Compared to Earl or Billy Martin, it was just a little flash in the pan. NBFD.
