The rain just started, and there's a lightning delay that forced all the fans in open-air areas to seek cover. This game's not starting very soon.

Ahh ok thanks. That gives me time to go get food then, so I went won't miss anything when it does start. I remember having that rain down here Sunday night. The thunder and lightning was crazy.

[FollyFollyToo]

The rain just started, and there's a lightning delay that forced all the fans in open-air areas to seek cover. This game's not starting very soon.

Not only is the weather bad, but so is the TV announcing team--Hunter and Martinez...it's a good thing they don't have to entertain us through the rain delay like announcers did back in the day.

[rolliefingers]

The radar looks pretty bad. This could last more than an hour.

[Hank Scorpio]

No rain up here in Hanover, PA.

[Jimbo81]

No rain up here in Hanover, PA.

But, there is in Hanover, MD.:D

[dan-O]

Any chance this thing gets postponed?

[rolliefingers]

But, there is in Hanover, MD.:D

...Which is slightly more relevant, given that rain tends to go SW to NE. ;)

[Jimbo81]

...Which is slightly more relevant, given that rain tends to go SW to NE. ;)

Precisely.;)

[Hank Scorpio]

I'd be surprised if they postponed the game. I think they'll be good to go in like an hour or so.

[bumblebee]

I wish yesterday's game had been rained out.

[baseballnelie]

I doubt they will postpone the game. The Braves/Nationals game last night had a 2 hour and 10 minute rain delay before its 1st pitch.

[mrbig1]

I wish yesterday's game had been rained out.

Just our luck.

[The B&G]

anyone have an update on game time?

[dan-O]

Any kind of time frame being announced on 105.7 or MASN?

[Hank Scorpio]

I'd be surprised if it wasn't started by 8:30pm.

[PaulFolk]

I'd be surprised if it wasn't started by 8:30pm.
It's still raining hard, the tarp is on the field, and the grounds crew is nowhere to be seen. I don't see any way they'll be ready to start at 8:30.

[dan-O]

It's still raining hard, the tarp is on the field, and the grounds crew is nowhere to be seen. I don't see any way they'll be ready to start at 8:30.

Poop.

letters

[BillySmith]

Honestly, the bullpen gets more rest. This is not a bad thing.

[mrbig1]

105.7 is having a call in show with dave Johnson. Pie seems to be the hot topic. They say the game will be played.

[Hank Scorpio]

I don't think Chicago's in town again this year, so I would imagine they'll squeeze it in.

[PaulFolk]

The tarp is coming off the field.

Estimated start time: 8:35.

[dslats715]

Radar looks like heavy stuff ends any minute now

[dan-O]

The tarp is coming off the field.

Estimated start time: 8:35.

Sweeeet. Let's go Bergy!

[anselmO]

Really excited to see Montanez in there. Anxious to see if he's improved defensively and if he can continue to swing the bat well.

[Hank Scorpio]

The tarp is coming off the field.

Estimated start time: 8:35.

:D

I was close.

[baseballnelie]

I was about to say, I just noticed on mlb.com that the game status is now in "warmup"

[mrbig1]

OK, the game will start soon. Let's get a victory tonight for the kid.

[mrbig1]

Should we be starting Bergesen against this White Sox line up?

[UMDTerrapins]

Kid looks pumped up.

[amateurfan]

I could never be a professional athlete. I'm too pumped up.

[Why Not?]

I could never be a professional athlete. I'm too pumped up.

I could never be a professional athlete for about 476 different reasons.

[JimDH]

Should we be starting Bergesen against this White Sox line up?

It's his turn in the rotation right?

[UMDTerrapins]

Don't you feel like tonight is the beginning of something? Forget about the results, the first wave comes ashore tonight. This guy could be a part of something very big in the coming years. It begins now.

Cheers to you O's Fans!

[Scrat1]

I am so psyched about this game.

[Scrat1]

Be fun to watch Getz too.

[adamwolff11]

Man they said Bergy was a quick worker, but I had no idea he was this quick!

[UMDTerrapins]

I love that this guy throws strikes. He's the anti-Cabrera

[Skeletor]

Lot of movement on his fastball.

[Skeletor]

He's going to jam a lot of guys.

[Why Not?]

Man they said Bergy was a quick worker, but I had no idea he was this quick!

I love it.

[24HOR]

This is the fastest I have ever seen Gameday move!

Keep those hitters uncomfortable Bergy!

[MChance]

Should we be starting Bergesen against this White Sox line up?

I'd start him against a different White Sox lineup personally.

[Hank Scorpio]

Nice and low in the zone so far.

88-91mph.

[olehippi]

Looks like his fast ball has a lot of movement....and a nice sinker.

[UMDTerrapins]

Not a lot of stress on his arm. Looks great.

[Hank Scorpio]

Whoooo touches 94mph vs. Quentin!!!!

Nice pitch.

Not afraid to pitch inside, either. Gotta like that.

[amateurfan]

That 94 was more than I was expecting.

[Thirdtender]

low 90s...i didn't know he threw that hard

[olehippi]

94 !!....who said he didn't throw hard?

[Hank Scorpio]

Hahahaha did you see him come off the mound for that foul pop?

Where's the changeup, kid?

[tywright]

That 94 was more than I was expecting.

Gameday had it at 92

He needs the strikeout pitch here

[Skeletor]

Set him down Brad.

[blid]

Quit making Bergy work so hard!! :mad:

[JTrea81]

Quentin is putting up quite a fight...

[UMDTerrapins]

His location is excellent.

[Hank Scorpio]

Quentin makin' life difficult.

[threedaysrest]

C'mon Brad, dust off this bum.

Edit: take that, Quentin.

[tywright]

And how about that !

[Austin]

He gone.

Welcome, Brad.

[Hank Scorpio]

There's the offspeed stuff!!!

Atta boy, kid.

[UMDTerrapins]

Outstanding. Cabrera would have walked him 3 times with that many pitches.

[baseballnelie]

Great sinker to strike out Quentin.

3 up 3 down to start his ML career

[Skeletor]

Let's keep him.

[JTrea81]

That a boy Bergy!

[Scrat1]

Berg Ks Carlos!

[El Gordo]

Sure liked what I saw that inning.:clap3:

[tywright]

Someone tell Jim Hunter that was a slider not a sinker

[Rex Thunder]

Wow- what a first inning and battle with Quentin. Optimism must be boiling over with everyone here now- hope he keeps it up!

[amateurfan]

Great pitch. I wonder what it looks like out of his hand. Quentin looked fooled.

[mrbig1]

Good job for the kid. Now let's score some runs for him.

[olehippi]

3 up....3 down. Kid definitely looks like he knows what he's doing.

[MDsportsfan15]

too bad he had to throw 20 pitches there but the result was excellent

[amateurfan]

Let's keep him.

Very funny :)

[LAOSfan]

Anyone know if this game is on WGN?

[24HOR]

How did Brad look fielding that ball for the 2nd out?

[Ozone]

8 pitches to the first two batters and 12 to Quentin.

[weams]

Carlos Quenn-en... Take a seat.

[tywright]

20 pitch inning...let's been a little bit more democratic the next inning Bergy

[Hank Scorpio]

too bad he had to throw 20 pitches there but the result was excellent

At least it wasn't because he was walking guys.

[clarence]

After that kind of delay to start his first game, that is a very impressive first inning.

[24HOR]

Anyone know if this game is on WGN?

Nope, the Cubs game is.

[Hank Scorpio]

How did Brad look fielding that ball for the 2nd out?

Perfectly fine.

He came off the mound like a house afire on that foul pop. For a second, I thought he was going to jump the dugout and go up the steps.

[snatch311]

Call me crazy, but that was the happiest half inning of Orioles baseball I've had since 2007.

[Austin]

20 pitch inning...let's been a little bit more democratic the next inning Bergy
To be fair, Quentin had an awesome at-bat.

[threedaysrest]

Here's Montanez, the man for whom Pie should be dumped. Maybe not...:laughlol:

[Brazil Os Fan]

How did Brad look fielding that ball for the 2nd out?

Very good. He threw the ball rigth on the money and Josh was half way from first.

[blid]

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7251/bergy.png

:eek::eektf::clap3:

[Hank Scorpio]

Montanez dinks out.

Not makin' Contreras work very hard so far. What has happened to our patience?

[Austin]

Here's Montanez, the man for whom Pie should be dumped. Maybe not...:laughlol:
Bah! Montanez will never be good!!

[weams]

To be fair, Quentin had an awesome at-bat.

And went fishing. That was a great battle.

[Skeletor]

30 foot splitter from Jose.

[Hank Scorpio]

What a ridiculous looking splitter.

Atta boy Nick, he earned that one.

[tywright]

Nice bloop Markakis...8 game hit streak

[threedaysrest]

There we go, Nick.

[24HOR]

Perfectly fine.

He came off the mound like a house afire on that foul pop. For a second, I thought he was going to jump the dugout and go up the steps.

That's excellent to hear!

That's what this team needs now, a burst of energy.

[Scrat1]

How good is Markakis?

[UMDTerrapins]

Bah! Montanez will never be good!!

Mark the date and time. You sir are on the record. :mad:

[baseballnelie]

Only took Contreras 4 pitches to get the 1st 2 outs. Nice single by Markakis though.

[1983]

As Markakis is coming up to bat the announcers on the CSCHD feed say " Now here comes one of the best players in the league. Not on this team, not in this game, but in the league" Very high praise

Then this gem " He is all state in two states"

[mrbig1]

Get us on the board Huff daddy.

[Austin]

Mark the date and time. You sir are on the record. :mad:
I was trying to (subtly) poke fun at the Pie haters.

[Hank Scorpio]

Couple of weak tappers vs. Contreras.

Bergesen vs. Thome upcoming.

[Austin]

I want to sim through the bottom halves so I can see Bergesen pitch uninterrupted.

[threedaysrest]

I was trying to (subtly) poke fun at the Pie haters.

I love Pie and think he should play the entire season in the OF and get 500 ABs. Sarcasm doesn't translate well.... :laughlol:

[Austin]

Very quick, 1 pitch out. Niceee.

[PrivateO]

Thome out in 1 pitch.

[UMDTerrapins]

I was trying to (subtly) poke fun at the Pie haters.

I know. Just playing (kinda). I've really latched onto Montanez. Not hating on Pie, but I would love to see Lou get 350+ at bats with the O's this year. Not going to happen of course, but I really believe he can be a solid ML hitter.

[baseballnelie]

Thome first pitch ground out to Izturis on the right side of 2nd base.

[24HOR]

Now that is beautiful! Sit down Thome.

[Austin]

I love Pie and think he should play the entire season in the OF and get 500 ABs. Sarcasm doesn't translate well.... :laughlol:
I figured the complete absurdity of my statement would suffice. I guess I need to drop my personal vendetta against emoticons.

[tywright]

ehhh 4 pitch walk

[Skeletor]

Huh? Walk?

[Hank Scorpio]

Dye walks on 4 pitches. A slider and three 2 seamers.

[weams]

‘Bergy, what’s your forte?’ ‘I get groundballs.’

[JTrea81]

That last pitch looked like a strike on Gameday

[Scrat1]

four pitch walk

[tywright]

Dye walks on 4 pitches. A slider and three 2 seamers.

ball 4 should have been a strike

[Austin]

I know. Just playing (kinda). I've really latched onto Montanez. Not hating on Pie, but I would love to see Lou get 350+ at bats with the O's this year. Not going to happen of course, but I really believe he can be a solid ML hitter.
I like Montanez too. I also like Pie and Reimold. I think it's a good problem to have.

[JTrea81]

Time for the DP...

[Hank Scorpio]

Bergesen's sinker is a pretty good lookin' pitch.

[UMDTerrapins]

I like Montanez too. I also like Pie and Reimold. I think it's a good problem to have.

Agreed. Not sure we'll see Freel again.

[PrivateO]

Did anyone notice in the 1st inning on the screen when it said:

Brad Bergeson's favorite sports team is the San Jose Sharks.

Had to chuckle at that one. Way to go, team.

[Hank Scorpio]

I think a lot of guys are going to foul Bergesen's pitches off their lead foot.

[tywright]

Interesting DP...

[TonySoprano]

Nice defense

[dslats715]

That was a nice double play.

[PrivateO]

DP DP DP DP DP.

Bergy!

[weams]

Love it. Bergey rocks.

[Hank Scorpio]

Hell yeah!!!

Love those pitches low in the zone.

[mrbig1]

DP good job kid:clap3:

[Skeletor]

DP. Wiggy has made a couple nice plays already.

[baseballnelie]

Nice double play started by Wiggy and now he gets to lead off the bottom of the inning.

[JTrea81]

Groundball pitcher + OPACY is a good match...

[UMDTerrapins]

Love the way this guy pitches. Throws strikes. Low in the zone with movement. Works fast. No crazy windup with too many moving parts. This is a guy who will have a long career.

[Rex Thunder]

That was a nice double play.

That was a very nice double play. I know a few just waiting to pounce on Wiggington when he messes up- so nice to see solid play form him. Two plays this game already.

[PaulFolk]

Bergesen pumped his fist after that DP. This guy's excited.

[UMDTerrapins]

Groundball pitcher + OPACY is a good match...

Who was our last solid ground ball pitcher? Erickson?

[24HOR]

Now lets hope he can have a shorter inning or two. Gameday is working like it is it's own high speed connection!

[Austin]

Well Wiggington looked lost on that strikeout.

[Hank Scorpio]

Wigginton is off to a rough start.

At the dish, anyways.

[Skeletor]

Bergesen pumped his fist after that DP. This guy's excited.

Yeah. It's refreshing.

[Why Not?]

Groundball pitcher + OPACY is a good match...

Add in a little rain and it becomes pretty ideal.

[snatch311]

Bergesen pumped his fist after that DP. This guy's excited.

I could tell with how he took off after the popup. Good. I'm glad. I'm excited. You're excited. The crowd seems a bit excited.

It's an actual bit of hope for the rotation.

[threedaysrest]

luuuuuuuke!

[PrivateO]

Wigginton is off to a rough start.

At the dish, anyways.

I honestly have not seen the man get a base hit all season.

I just don't get it.

[JTrea81]

Wigginton is off to a rough start.

At the dish, anyways.

Gotta start benching him vs. RHP when Mora comes back.

[PaulFolk]

I could tell with how he took off after the popup. Good. I'm glad. I'm excited. You're excited. The crowd seems a bit excited.

It's an actual bit of hope for the rotation.
I've gotta hand it to this crowd. Despite the long rain delay, and the fact that it's cold and a week night, a lot of people are still here. And they're getting into the game, too-- some of 'em gave Bergesen a standing ovation after that 1st inning.

[LAOSfan]

Who was our last solid ground ball pitcher? Erickson?

Jimmy Johnson.

[Hank Scorpio]

I honestly have not seen the man get a base hit all season.

I just don't get it.

I've seen him get a hit, but only one or two.

He hasn't been too bad at third base, but you do notice a bit off a dropoff without Mora down there, IMO.

[UMDTerrapins]

Ouch. That looked painful and begs a "what if" question.

[TonySoprano]

Ouch. That looked painful and begs a "what if" question.as in what if Zaun had to go on the d/l?;)

[Hank Scorpio]

Here's everyone's favorite outfielder.

[Skeletor]

Come on Felix. Prove 'em wrong.

[Hank Scorpio]

Well, we know Pie can layoff the 51 foot splitter.

:D

[baseballnelie]

as in what if Zaun had to go on the d/l?;)

I was just asking my buddy the same thing. :scratchchinhmm:

[PaulFolk]

as in what if Zaun had to go on the d/l?;)
I suspect we'd see everyone's favorite catcher...

Robby Hammock.

[Austin]

Pie has a better eye than I thought.

[UMDTerrapins]

as in what if Zaun had to go on the d/l?;)

That's the one.

[Hank Scorpio]

Nice at bat, Pie.

[adamwolff11]

Nice AB by Pie

[Scrat1]

Yeah, nice job Pie.

[baseballnelie]

Pie has struck out 7 of his last 16 at bats. Good job taking the walk this time.

[JTrea81]

C'mon Izzy, let's give Bergy something to work with...

[Skeletor]

Nice to see Pie lay off the high FB.

[TonySoprano]

I suspect we'd see everyone's favorite catcher...

Robby Hammock.That thread would hit 1,000 posts, easy.

[dan-O]

Nice AB by Pie

It was a nice at bat by Zaun as well.

[tywright]

I suspect we'd see everyone's favorite catcher...

Robby Hammock.

Hey Paul...are any of the other reporters following the OH game thread?

[LAOSfan]

As gaudy as the stats are for the top of the order are as bad as they are for the bottom.

[PaulFolk]

Hey Paul...are any of the other reporters following the OH game thread?
No idea. I'm not sure they'd admit to it if they were. :)

[weams]

‘Bergy, what’s your forte?’ ‘I get groundballs.’

[Skeletor]

Another nice play by Wiggy.

[baseballnelie]

That's nice they're interviewing Brad's dad right now. Haha he said he's more nervous than Brad and this is the 1st time he hasn't paid attention to the game.

[PaulFolk]

Who would've guessed that Ty Wigginton would be looking better with the glove than with the bat?

[PrivateO]

Hey Wiggy! Nice play.

[Austin]

Well man BB is cruising, he works fast.

[Hank Scorpio]

That was cool, nice interview with Bergesen's father.

Lovin' the ground balls.

[Miller192]

Bergesen has a ton of movement....he could throw 60mph.

[tywright]

Can Jim Hunter try to jinx Bergy any more?

[Skeletor]

Backwards k. Money.

[Hank Scorpio]

I'll be very interested to see how he does the 2nd time through the lineup.

The first time has been really, really good!!!

[tywright]

Big ol smile from Dad...that's pretty cool

[PrivateO]

YES! I love good pitching.

[TonySoprano]

Work fast
throw strikes

[mrbig1]

The kid is killer tonight.

[Austin]

I could get used to this.

[baseballnelie]

That was cool, nice interview with Bergesen's father.

Buck Martinez was saying how it was nice of him to take the time to interview with Amber.

I think I'd take the time to do that as well during a game. ;)

[weams]

I am beginning to think that a jinx won't work.

[UMDTerrapins]

Hell yes! I will put a curse on anyone who calls him our #5 starter. He's our #3 with a bullet.

[PrivateO]

Just think....

Supposedly, he's not even the best.

[Palmer Esque]

Being a parent, I just could not imagine anything more fulfilling. Wow What a great moment.

His dad is just beaming. Priceless.

[mrbig1]

We have got to score some runs.

[Singleton]

This guy stinks. Why didn't we sign Jon Garland?

[24HOR]

And this kid isn't even one of the Big 3...Put me on the excited list.

[dslats715]

Yeah. It's refreshing.

Boy is it ever. Excited? Wanting to play? Intense?

I love it.

[Skeletor]

Lou is going yard here.

[adamwolff11]

C'mon offense, let's get the kid some runs!

[Hallas]

And this kid isn't even one of the Big 3...Put me on the excited list.

Amen!

Bring up Matusz and Tillman and we'd freaking be contenders! :D

[JTrea81]

Hell yes! I will put a curse on anyone who calls him our #5 starter. He's our #3 with a bullet.

He's showing he should have been in this rotation from the start. I really hope he wasn't kept down just for service time issues...

[Ozone]

40 pitches thru 3IP

[Hank Scorpio]

It's nice to see someone keep the ball consistently down in the zone.

Again, in the long run it'll be about adjustments. He's certainly got the stuff to stick, IMO. Haven't even seen his changeup yet.

I'll be interested to see whether he incorporates it the 2nd time through.

[JTrea81]

It's nice to see someone keep the ball consistently down in the zone.

Again, in the long run it'll be about adjustments. He's certainly got the stuff to stick, IMO. Haven't even seen his changeup yet.

I'll be interested to see whether he incorporates it the 2nd time through.

Gameday has him throwing two last inning.

[El Gordo]

I am beginning to think that a jinx won't work.
Boy, I wish Hunter would shut up. If any one can jinx this kid that jack@$$ can.:angryfire:

[tywright]

It's nice to see someone keep the ball consistently down in the zone.

Again, in the long run it'll be about adjustments. He's certainly got the stuff to stick, IMO. Haven't even seen his changeup yet.

I'll be interested to see whether he incorporates it the 2nd time through.

Yeah isn't his change better than the slider?

[Miller192]

Gameday has him throwing one.

It was to Quentin by my eye.

[Hank Scorpio]

Gameday has him throwing one.

Maybe I was mistaking his sinker for his changeup.

Lots of movement, regardless. It's nice to see.

[mrbig1]

Another two out hit.

[baseballnelie]

Markakis now with 2 out of our 3 hits and hits in 12 out of our 14 games.

[allstar1579]

Amen!

Bring up Matusz and Tillman and we'd freaking be contenders! :D

Jake A. is more ready than both.

[JTrea81]

C'mon Huff Daddy!

[Palmer Esque]

Gameday has him throwing two last inning.

Gameday is a little inaccurate. lol

[24HOR]

It's nice to see someone keep the ball consistently down in the zone.

Again, in the long run it'll be about adjustments. He's certainly got the stuff to stick, IMO. Haven't even seen his changeup yet.

I'll be interested to see whether he incorporates it the 2nd time through.

How did his slider and sinker look.

[TonySoprano]

GONE


Au-BRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE

[UMDTerrapins]

WOW! Huff crushed that.

[Hank Scorpio]

That, ladies, was a SHOT.

[Miller192]

Warehouse?

[SimplyZ]

Markakis and Huff!

WOOO HOME RUN

[threedaysrest]

Way to crush one and keep it fair, Huff Daddy.

But for the sidearm junk that occasionally fools people, Contreras looks old and horrible...

[mrbig1]

Huff daddy:clap3:

[Scrat1]

So awesome!

[adamwolff11]

Yeah baby! That's the offense I was referencing!

[Camden_yardbird]

Did that hit the warehouse?

[24HOR]

OOOOOOOOOOOOO ya!

[Austin]

Oh dear, look out warehouse workers.

[TonySoprano]

Contreras has nothing tonight

[Sport Foo]

When that ball lands...let me know!

[Skeletor]

HUFF DADDY! How did that stay fair? It was CRUSHED though.

[PrivateO]

Huzzah! Huff!

[Palmer Esque]

He dropped his drawers and urinated on that my friends.

[baseballnelie]

I just yelled out Yes! as I'm sitting watching this game on my computer. My roommates looked at me like I was crazy. A moon shot by Huff probably to Eutaw Street

[JTrea81]

That one land on Eutaw St.?

Huff Daddy!!!

[adamwolff11]

Wiggy really hasn't looked comfortable at the plate at all so far this season

[weams]

Eutaw Street. Daddy.

[SimplyZ]

Can anyone give a jist of what Bergesen has done? i ran to the grocery store w/ the delay and just got back to see that home run

[Hank Scorpio]

Wigginton is pressing a bit at the plate, I think.

[Why Not?]

Sometime years from now, people will look at the little brass baseball on Eutaw Street that marks that HR and say "no way that ball was fair"

[JTrea81]

Can anyone give a jist of what Bergesen has done? i ran to the grocery store w/ the delay and just got back to see that home run

He's been very good!

[Hank Scorpio]

That one land on Eutaw St.?

Huff Daddy!!!

It had to have landed on Eutaw Street.

That was a long way.

[El Gordo]

Did that hit the warehouse?

Eutaw St. Huff daddy.:clap3:

[Miller192]

I want to know where that ball landed....or what it might've hit.

[JohnnyK27]

Homerun Huff :clap3: Pay the man!!!

Nice stuff so far from Bergy!:clap3:

[PaulFolk]

Eutaw Street. Daddy.
Yes indeed. 49th Eutaw Street HR in ballpark history.

[Mashed Potatoes]

He's showing he should have been in this rotation from the start. I really hope he wasn't kept down just for service time issues...

Jesus man, he's pitched 3 innings! You are ridiculous.

[TonySoprano]

I hate that Alfred E Neumann MASN commercial

[tywright]

Which MASN commercial character do you like least, the "Orioioles" guy or the kid that likes the long ball ?

[dan-O]

Yeah baby.

And our D has looked great which is a direct result of Bergy pitching with a nice tempo, IMO.

[Sport Foo]

Can anyone give a jist of what Bergesen has done? i ran to the grocery store w/ the delay and just got back to see that home run

3ip 2k's and BB in the second, but no balls out of the infield.

[UMDTerrapins]

Can anyone give a jist of what Bergesen has done? i ran to the grocery store w/ the delay and just got back to see that home run

This thread should say it all. He's low in the zone, good movement, good command. If he's rattled, it's all on the interior. Good mechanics. Works fast. Going right after the hitters. Throwing fastball and sliders, no changes.
