Litsch vs Leeeeeeeeeeez

[J.D.]

Glad to see Jones back. Also really interesting to see Millar hitting 8th. Not saying I dislike it. Just saying that it's interesting.

I don't think this pitching match-up favors us in any way. And I'm probably understating this.

[PaulFolk]

Millar is actually hitting seventh. Ramon is eighth.

[osfan83]

So what comes first, the 5th inning or Liz's 100th pitch?

[Why Not?]

Throw. The. Ball. Over. The. Plate.

[McNulty]

Millar is actually hitting seventh. Ramon is eighth.

Was that a change or just a mistake by Yahoo?

[AgentOrange]

Throw. The. Ball. Over. The. Plate.

No kidding...

[Marcus]

please throw a strike

[osfan83]

Aren't the O's at the top or near the top of walks allowed every year for the past 5 or 6?

[osfan83]

Get the pen warming!:rolleyes:

[McNulty]

Get the pen warming!:rolleyes:

An earned run and 32 pitches after 2 innings? Oh no! 16 pitches per inning is waaaaaay too much.

Take er easy dude.

[PaulFolk]

Was that a change or just a mistake by Yahoo?
Not sure....

[osfan83]

An earned run and 32 pitches after 2 innings? Oh no! 16 pitches per inning is waaaaaay too much.

Take er easy dude.

Double play helped. He needs to cut out the walks!

[McNulty]

Double play helped. He needs to cut out the walks!

Oh no doubt. Just try to fight the urge to throw things and you'll feel better. :D

[JimDH]

O's bats need a wakeup call after scoring 11 on Sat

[osfan83]

Nice pick Mel!

[JimDH]

Jays helped us out that inning on those hitters pitches.

[osfan83]

PRODUCTIVE OUT for the #9 hitter!!! Fundamental Baseball!!!

[Pushmonkey]

Power from Adam!

and has as many/more then Rios!

[osfan83]

AJ a 2-RBI homer!

[J.D.]

Ladies and Gentlemen...

MR. ADAM JONES!!!!!!!

proceed to make "making it rain" jokes now.

[jamessemaj]

AJ with the opposite field POP. That's encouraging to see!!

[JimDH]

I like me my fundamental 2-run homers!

[El Gordo]

I like me my fundamental 2-run homers!
Mr. Jones has left the building.:clap3::rofl:

[osfan83]

I like me my fundamental 2-run homers!

Yes, even better, but I won't hold my breath waiting for Fahey 2 run HRs.

[dedwretched]

Pitch number 4, the strike, was actually a ball.

[Pushmonkey]

after 3

3-1 O's.

[JimDH]

Yes, even better, but I won't hold my breath waiting for Fahey 2 run HRs.

Oh I wouldnt either. But I was half expecting him to get us a 2-run single.

[Old_Bay_Oriole]

Hey guys!

first post here...lifetime Orioles fan. Love the team, and I love the people on the team (especially this year)

Adam Jones is a great player

[dedwretched]

Welcome Old Bay. Now that I'm on the west coast, I miss your seasoning. :D

[Scrat1]

Nice damage control by Liz.

[AgentOrange]

Welcome Old Bay. Now that I'm on the west coast, I miss your seasoning. :D

Yeah, but Portland is such a beautiful city. I am sure you can pick up some Old Bay at the store...

We can't pick up Oregon in Baltimore... :p

[JimDH]

Welcome Old Bay. Now that I'm on the west coast, I miss your seasoning. :D

Whenever I travel , I always make sure to have several cases shipped to me.

Thats actually from an old National Bohemian commercial.

[McNulty]

Welcome Old Bay. Now that I'm on the west coast, I miss your seasoning. :D

I'll send you all the Old Bay you want if you send me some Alaskan Summer Ale, or Mirror Pond Ale.

[dedwretched]

I really miss Old Bay UTZ chips.

I haven't had a Natty Bo in 7 years, so I forget what it tastes like. Maybe something like PBR? I don't know.

Yeah, Portland is awesome. I lived outside of DC until last year and it's a huge improvement here. People don't drive 90 on the highway.

[dedwretched]

I'll send you all the Old Bay you want if you send me some Alaskan Summer Ale, or Mirror Pond Ale.

I'll have to find those beers first. There's a store in NE Portland that sells over 800 types of beer, though it's mainly singles.

[McNulty]

I'll have to find those beers first. There's a store in NE Portland that sells over 800 types of beer, though it's mainly singles.

Stop watching the game and go find a sixer of the Alaskan Summer Ale. Its purple with a whale on the front.

Mirror Pond should be everywhere there. Its brewed in Bend.

[McNulty]

Mr Litsch is throwing an awful lot of breaking stuff.

[dedwretched]

Stop watching the game and go find a sixer of the Alaskan Summer Ale. Its purple with a whale on the front.

Mirror Pond should be everywhere there. Its brewed in Bend.

If I drove, I'd be on it.

I should check at Safeway. They have a decent selection of tasty brew. But then they have a lot of swill like Miller Lite Lime and Hamm's. Ugh.

[AgentOrange]

Mr Litsch is throwing an awful lot of breaking stuff.

Mr Leeez is throwing an awful lot of balls...

[McNulty]

If I drove, I'd be on it.

I should check at Safeway. They have a decent selection of tasty brew. But then they have a lot of swill like Miller Lite Lime and Hamm's. Ugh.

If you want a good list, PM me. I lived in Eureka for a year.

Best beer region ever -- Pacific Northwest.

Ah...Hamm's. Watch out for Olympia too. :D

[osfan83]

This don't look good.

[dedwretched]

If you want a good list, PM me. I lived in Eureka for a year.

Ah...Hamm's. Watch out for Olympia too. :D

Olympia from the tap is ok, since at one place, it's $1. But out of the can, it's pretty putrid.

Seriously Radhames?

[McNulty]

Very very curious to walk Overbay here. I know Barajas is a free swinger, and Overbay is not, but why take away the free base with a wild pitcher on the hill? Even with the fact that Overbay is a lefty, this is still an odd one.

[Scrat1]

You know...with the bases loaded and only one out, I'll take the sac fly.

[osfan83]

Ramon cant throw, call a game, or hit. Other than that, he's ok.

[Old_Bay_Oriole]

other than the walks, Liz is impressing me with some pitches.

I have a lot of hope for him and Olsen.

[McNulty]

80 pitches through 5. I think you have to let him go back out there, especially with 7-8-9 due up.

[dedwretched]

I wonder what it would take to get Yorvit Torrealba.

[JimDH]

other than the walks, Liz is impressing me with some pitches.

I have a lot of hope for him and Olsen.

Me too. Liz especially would be a nice story.

[Scrat1]

Wow. What an at-bat from Roberts.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Hi All:)
My Perfect One!!!!:hearts::2yay-thumb::clap:

[osfan83]

Anybody up for a Huff Homer here?

OK, how bout Mel?

[Scrat1]

This is juicy.

[dedwretched]

I hope walking Huff to get to Melvin pays off for the O's.

[Old_Bay_Oriole]

Mmmmmmmmmelivinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Scrat1]

Awesome. Melvin, once again with RISP.

[El Gordo]

Somebody bench that old man! Bring up Moore!:rolleyestf::laughlol::clap3:

[Mashed Potatoes]

Brandon League looks like Clark Kent.

[mrbig1]

Just got back. how are we looking.

[Hank Scorpio]

Luke Scott = unconscious.

[cindyluvsbrady]

WOW!!
Go My Beloved Os!!!!!!:wedge::2yay-thumb::thumbsup1:

[Scrat1]

Well, I'll take 3 RBIs with two outs anyday.

[Old_Bay_Oriole]

Kevin Millar has cement blocks in his shoes

[osfan83]

I played 3 years in the Brandon League.

[dedwretched]

Tied 3-3 going into the 5th. Now the O's are up 6-3.

[Hank Scorpio]

Ramon cant throw, call a game, or hit. Other than that, he's ok.

Whatever he *HAD*, he's lost.

[Peace21]

So how much longer does Huff have to go before being dealt?

[JimDH]

80 pitches through 5. I think you have to let him go back out there, especially with 7-8-9 due up.

yeah. That should be all though. Hope he gets through the 6th

[McNulty]

Apparently Leeeez has the highest run support in the majors. Who knew?

[Peace21]

Not a bad outing by Liz.

[McNulty]

I really wish Trembley would stop following wild hard throwing pitchers with Sarfate (a wild hard throwing pitcher). Bring in Sarfate after Bradford or something.

[SteveA]

yeah. That should be all though. Hope he gets through the 6th

As soon as he walked a guy, Trembley was out there, decisively. Good....Liz's early starts were a lot like this and he really loses it quickly in the 6th inning or so. I bet Trembley would have tolerated a base hit, but not a walk after the team had just given him a 3 run lead.

[JimDH]

DT gets him out of there early

[vab]

Well, the kid hung in there tonight but more balls than strikes. A lot of hard hit 'at em balls. It's just not going to work.

[dedwretched]

For those who follow Minor League baseball, the Portland Beavers beat the Colorado Springs Sky Sox 2-0. Portland's in 2nd place, 6.5 games back.

[bummer]

It's not fair. Just isn't fair.

I follow Adam Jones is whole minor league career, watch him play in AAA, excited he's a top 10 prospect and makes it to the major league's....and you guys get to enjoy it.

Take about getting boned. Just isn't fair.

[Peace21]

I think Sarfate needs to go to Norfolk.

[dedwretched]

It's not fair. Just isn't fair.

I follow Adam Jones is whole minor league career, watch him play in AAA, excited he's a top 10 prospect and makes it to the major league's....and you guys get to enjoy it.

Man, now THAT was random!


I think Sarfate needs to go to Norfolk.

Out of options. Plus I don't think we have a better option currently.

[Hank Scorpio]

Very sick of watching walks.

Very sick.

[osfan83]

For those who follow Minor League baseball, the Portland Beavers beat the Colorado Springs Sky Sox 2-0. Portland's in 2nd place, 6.5 games back.

Yes, but what did the Chattanooga Lookouts do tonight?

[Peace21]

What a awful strikezone.

[osfan83]

So how many straight appearnces can Sarfate pitch without getting an out?

[PaulFolk]

All right men, let's put Eckstein, Inglett, and Scutaro on base so we can face Alex Rios. Great plan.

[Peace21]

I cant watch. Rios is up bases loaded.

[bummer]

Bummer, where are you located?

Washington.

[Hank Scorpio]

What a awful strikezone.

Sarfate certainly isn't gonna get any close ones. He hasn't earned any.

[dedwretched]

Yes, but what did the Chattanooga Lookouts do tonight?

Osfan83, I only said that because I'm in Portland and we were talking about it earlier in the thread.

[The Rick]

Never a doubt Dennis, never a doubt! ;)

[jamessemaj]

Sarfate should totally lose his role to Cormier.

[osfan83]

Osfan83, I only said that because I'm in Portland and we were talking about it earlier in the thread.

Just havin' some fun with ya.

[Peace21]

Is it movie qoute night?

[The Rick]

Sarfate certainly isn't gonna get any close ones. He hasn't earned any.

Furthermore, it is very obvious to me that he just doesn't have any confidence right now. Hopefully getting out of that jam by getting Rios to fly out will help him get back on track.

[cbm5042]

Sarfate would fit well on the 2007 bull pen. This is another Trembley decision that is questionable he should NOT be the go to guy because he is too prone to giving up the big inning.

[Pushmonkey]

Sarfate is having a case of the Sherrill's.

[dedwretched]

Gotcha.

I'm just glad I live in a city with baseball. I don't care that they play with NL rules. :)

[Hank Scorpio]

Washington.

Sorry bud... I'm sure it hurts to see Jones & Tillman do well.

You definitely called it, too.

[Scrat1]

Washington.

Washington State, not DC. He's one of the poor souls known as Seattle fans. My condolences. We know how it feels.

Sarfate manages to stay alive. I'm going to try and give him the benefit of the doubt and say he is just distracted with fatherhood. Maybe he'll settle down after he gets used to having a kid.

[McNulty]

Is it movie qoute night?

I feel kinda weird quoting movies without Wedge firing back.

[Fan4Life]

Apparently Leeeez has the highest run support in the majors. Who knew?

That's an example of how stats can be misleading... since Liz rarely gets past 5 innings, I presume that means the O's are averaging 4.5+ runs when he exits.. the presumption being we'd score another 4.5+ the rest of the game for him which is just silly.

[Hank Scorpio]

This just in : Ramon Hernandez is bad.

[The Rick]

Sarfate would fit well on the 2007 bull pen. This is another Trembley decision that is questionable he should NOT be the go to guy because he is too prone to giving up the big inning.

Since when has a 6th inning man been the "go to guy"? DT has done the right thing by putting him in less pressurized situations. I don't feel that putting him out there in the 6th inning with a 3-run lead makes him the go to guy.

[dedwretched]

I saw a Mariners/Nats game last month. The almighty Willie Bloomquist played shortstop while Miguel Cairo played 1B. What a lineup.

The stadium was ok. It's no Camden Yards.

[McNulty]

Toronto's bullpen is ridiculous. The highest ERA they have out there is Jason Frasor at 3.72.

[The Rick]

DO NOT give Brandon Fahey something to hit.

League got the memo.;)

[osfan83]

This just in : Ramon Hernandez is bad.

Hey, today's headline is the same as yesterdays!

[JTrea81]

C'mon Jonesy, knock em in!

[osfan83]

I led the Brandon League in ERA in 1986.

[osfan83]

I don't even think Fahey could start in the Brandon League!

[JTrea81]

Ouch, get 'em next time...

[SteveA]

Cito appears to be a little more gaunt that I remember him.

[The Rick]

I don't even think Fahey could start in the Brandon League!

One would think... but he's got a 1.000 OBP in the Brandon League so far.

[dedwretched]

Bradford's picture makes him look older than 33.

[osfan83]

One would think... but he's got a 1.000 OBP in the Brandon League so far.

Good call.

[JimDH]

9 outs. come on

[JTrea81]

Going from Sarfate to Bradford is probably quite a shock for the hitters...

[Peace21]

Bradford wont make it through waivers in August.

[The Rick]

Mr. PacMan MelMo gobbles that one up and saves a double.

Corny, I know. Couldn't help it.

[JTrea81]

Cito appears to be a little more gaunt that I remember him.

Must have been all that "sucking" he's been doing in his free time...

[JTrea81]

Bradford wont make it through waivers in August.

He'll be traded before then, still a week to go...

[mrbig1]

I got 7 sick days left. I think I will use one of them Thursday.

[The Rick]

Going from Sarfate to Bradford is probably quite a shock for the hitters...

Good point. I think going from anyone to Bradford has to be a shock, not just based on velocity, but his delivery. But the more velocity the prior pitcher has, the more shock value. Sarfate certainly fits that mold.

Maybe we can trade him to Detroit. Zumaya followed by Bradford, or vice versa. Now that'd be next to impossible to top for shock factor.

[RShack]

Bradford wont make it through waivers in August.
Of course not. Bradford is very good at what he does.
He just had a spell of bizarrely horrible luck earlier on, with seeing-eye singles, etc.
It appears to be over, he finally seems back to normal.

[Peace21]

He'll be traded before then, still a week to go...

Just saying, and referring back to Rosenthals news.

[JTrea81]

I think we can get something really decent for Bradford.

[osfan83]

I got 7 sick days left. I think I will use one of them Thursday.

I usually use mine AFTER watching the O's play.:wedge:

(just kidding)

[dedwretched]

Does anyone think adding a knuckleballer to the bullpen would be a good idea?

[Peace21]

I think we can get something really decent for Bradford.

I love the Bill Hall rumor. He would fair well in OPACY.

[The Rick]

I think we can get something really decent for Bradford.

I agree, and we shouldn't trade him unless we do. I like Bradford and would hate to trade him just to check that box.

[JTrea81]

I agree, and we shouldn't trade him unless we do. I like Bradford and would hate to trade him just to check that box.

I don't think that will be a problem. Bradford will probably be in demand pretty soon. There are tons of teams that need bullpen help.

[SouthernBird]

Long time no post. How have the boys being doing this year? I actually have not even watched, nor listened to 1 inning this year.

[RShack]

Does anyone think adding a knuckleballer to the bullpen would be a good idea?Depends on how much excitement you want.
Personally, I prefer BP guys who make things BORING ;-)

[RShack]

Holy crap! Where you been?

[SouthernBird]

two words...BASS FISHING!

[osfan83]

You've missed a suprisingly entertaining season so far.

[SouthernBird]

WHat is the score...and better yet, who are we playing tonight?

[McNulty]

Of course not. Bradford is very good at what he does.
He just had a spell of bizarrely horrible luck earlier on, with seeing-eye singles, etc.
It appears to be over, he finally seems back to normal.

Isn't it time for you to say something....

[JTrea81]

Long time no post. How have the boys being doing this year? I actually have not even watched, nor listened to 1 inning this year.

Well we were actually in first place in April. Now we are fighting the Jays for 4th place.

But to make it short you've missed LUUUUUUUKE!, Flat Breezy and the rebirth of Orioles Magic.

That Adam Jones guy has been fun to watch too...

[RShack]

two words...BASS FISHING!
Well, I hope it was worth it, because this season has been the most fun I've had watching baseball in a long time. Really, no kidding. It's been way better than the record looks, and the record doesn't look that bad.

[JTrea81]

Trembley's taking a page out of Perlozzo's book again. Bradford only threw 11 pitches, yet here is JJ...

[RShack]

Isn't it time for you to say something....
Well, I already said I prefer BP guys who make things BORING.
Perhaps I should add that I have faith that Mr. JJ can do that very thing ;-)

[McNulty]

Well, I already said I prefer BP guys who make things BORING.
Perhaps I should add that I have faith that Mr. JJ can do that very thing ;-)

Yea, you posted it while I was typing.

[osfan83]

WHat is the score...and better yet, who are we playing tonight?

O's 6, Jays 3 8th

[The Rick]

Boy was that close. Nice scoop by Mora there. He charged aggressively and made that play possible.

[SouthernBird]

Well we were actually in first place in April. Now we are fighting the Jays for 4th place.

But to make it short you've missed LUUUUUUUKE!, Flat Breezy and the rebirth of Orioles Magic.

That Adam Jones guy has been fun to watch too...Luke...flat breezy? Uh, fill me in quickbefore I look stupid :)

[MurphDogg]

Trembley's taking a page out of Perlozzo's book again. Bradford only threw 11 pitches, yet here is JJ...

Eh, Johnson has thrown one inning since June 13th, he could use the work.

[osfan83]

Eh, Johnson has thrown one inning since June 13th, he could use the work.

July 13th...but who's counting.

[JimDH]

Eh, Johnson has thrown one inning since June 13th, he could use the work.

Wow. That is a long time. 2008 though right?

[The Rick]

Okay, if Kevin Millar was programmed in Madden '09 as a kick returner, how far do you think he would get on average provided he takes the ball on the goal line?

I say his season high is the 10 yard line, with an average starting drive at the 5 yard line.

Does Madden account for clubhouse chemistry though? Would Millar being on the Ravens make Kyle Boller a decent QB?

Sorry, Madden comes out next month and I'm already getting the fever. Can't wait to go to training camp next Wednesday.

[RShack]

Luke...flat breezy? Uh, fill me in quickbefore I look stupid :)
Luke Scott, LF, good quick strong bat. Put one on Eutaw St just recently.
Flat breezy is George Sherrill the closer. Flat wide brim on his hat looks goofy.
Plus Adam Jones, aka AJ, appears to be the Real Deal in CF.
Good times.

[JTrea81]

Luke...flat breezy? Uh, fill me in quickbefore I look stupid :)

Luke Scott finally filled the gaping hole in LF. Everybody yells "LUUUUUUKE!" when he does something good. And that's quite often. The dude hit the Warehouse on the bounce from Eutaw St in the Detroit series.

George Sherrill who we got in the Bedard trade is our closer who has an extremely flat brim on his hat. It's called the Flat Breezy look and that's why Sherrill is Flat Breezy. The whole team flips their lids up at the end of the game that Sherrill saves to honor him.

[Peace21]

SouthernBird, Bedard is on the DL again...but not for the O's :). Its a good season so far.

[McNulty]

Which they may do for the 30th time this year in just a few minutes.

[Peace21]

Can the pitcher rub the ball on his jersey like that?

[JTrea81]

There's the Millar we know...

[JTrea81]

Frasor was rattled by Millar's basestealing ability... :laughlol:

[dedwretched]

Razor Ramon!

[JTrea81]

Ramon!

That trade value is going up! :clap3:

[RShack]

Is Ramon's RISPy OPS over .900 yet?

[MurphDogg]

Trade the man!

[LA2]

There's the Millar we know...

B/c he walked and took second on a WP? Did he do something else? :confused:

[McNulty]

I say we let Bierd try and nail this down.

[The Rick]

SouthernBird,

Jim Johnson has also been a great story. He came into the BP early on and has dominated to the tune of a 1.95 ERA.

Also, 6'5'' barely 20 year old Chris Tillman who was the prized prospect we got back in the Bedard trade is 7-3 at Bowie with a 3.11 ERA. He's struck out 94 batters in 92.2 innings, but has walked 48. He appears to have a ton of potential.

As for the AAA staff which has made it's way to B-More, they are taking a while to settle in, though I haven't lost confidence. Olson has shown poise at times, but struggles with pitch selection/control. Liz is very young yet and doesn't appear to be too comfortable out there. The learning curve is pretty big right now, but management is doing the right thing by getting them a lot of innings.

Guthrie has been lights out most of the year, but doesn't have any wins to show for it. His lack of run support this year has been ghastly.

Oh yeah, and we've lost 15 in a row on Sunday this year. We won the 1st Sunday game against Seattle and are 1-15 on the year.

[Sanfran327]

Who's the fat guy in the Hernandez jersey??

[JTrea81]

B/c he walked and took second on a WP? Did he do something else? :confused:

He worked the count. That's what he's best at. I was just complimenting him.

[McNulty]

I say we let Bierd try and nail this down.

HA, Manfra just said he's up and throwing. I must be a bullpen managing wizard.

[LA2]

He worked the count. That's what he's best at. I was just complimenting him.

Oh, I see. CBSSportsline sd he advanced on a WP, but did he steal the base?

Yeah, I think it wd be great to let Bierd pitch the 9th.

[weams]

Southernbird...


Ciio Still Sucks. H. Diddy "Hearts" Balmer, Millar "is one of the fatter guys in the league", Brian Loves "EMO" and J.D. must have been in his seat.

[dedwretched]

The Great Randor is a warrior with amazing strength. Seal it up guys!

[Peace21]

Im predicting Adam Jones will start hitting more homeruns. He is looking very comfortable at the plate and in the two slot of the lineup.

[weams]

The Great Randor is a warrior with amazing strength. Seal it up guys!
And he has this thing for Prom Queens...

[RShack]

Oh yeah, and we've lost 15 in a row on Sunday this year. We won the 1st Sunday game against Seattle and are 1-15 on the year.
If we played on Sundays at the same rate that we play on non-Sundays, then we'd be tied with BOS for 2nd place, 1.5 games out of 1st, but ahead of them on pct, with the 4th best record in MLB.

[JTrea81]

C'mon Bierd, lock it down...

[JTrea81]

Did he just throw his nasty Pedro changeup?

[weams]

That was as nasty a pitch as I have seen.

Edit.. He threw it again.

[MurphDogg]

Randor!!! I likey the screwball...

It's a changeup that acts somewhat like a slider. Pedro Martinez taught it to him...

Put this one in the books!:clap3:

A screwball, really?! Cuellar, Mussina....

And the Great Randor smote the might Blue Jay with his fastball and the countryside was safe again. Until tomorrow.

Great good. Good chatting with you all.

If we played on Sundays at the same rate that we play on non-Sundays, then we'd be tied with BOS for 2nd place, 1.5 games out of 1st, but ahead of them on pct, with the 4th best record in MLB.

The interesting part is that we haven't been too far off from winning a few of those games. Obviously the Nats Ronnie Belliard game comes to mind, as well as the Angels game earlier in the year when we fought against Saunders (Who had an ERA close to 2 at the time), but lost 6-5. In fact, 8 of our 15 losses on Sunday are 1 run losses. But that's just how baseball works. It's a funny game, and the Sunday swoon has certainly been one of the more interesting things I can ever remember since being a baseball fan (only about 15 years to run off of here).

True 'dat... or God. I mean, i'm sure he doesn't allow any Magic on Sundays.

I hate that guy. I always want some lemonade from Chick-Fil-A on Sunday. There's a weird part of my brain that always thinks, "Hey, today is a good day for Chick-Fil-A....DAMMIT ITS ALWAYS SUNDAY!"

Well, so far doing good. I've been waiting for the 2nd half nose dive. So far so good.
