Valentine is an odd duck. Maybe he has issues with Bucholtz and this is his way of getting back at him ala Aceves. Really it's just Pedroia though. Elsbury the LH bat might have poor splits vs CC.

214 BA, 281 OBP, 357 SLG versus Sabathia. Not good but not like his sub 300 OPS against Joba Chamberlain either.

As bad as Bobby is I don't see him doing this to be a jerk. I remember the trainers looking at Pedroia yestersday, it might have been after Matt gunned him out. Ellsbury has benn hurting for awhile. I am not saying this makes me feel any better though.

Any chance he is trying to show Pedroia up for the kind of stupid play of running right then?

I guess. But it is still amazingly weak sauce. Valentine should love the Orioles..................... we got him his job this year.

I bet he is still mad he couldnt bait us into a bean ball war. That is probably what he wanted this series. If I was in charge he would of had the war. But brighter minds prevailed. We have bigger fish to fry.

Wasn't Bobby Valentine the Orioles choice before Showalter? And I recall Eric Wedge was their second choice? Oh how karma can be a blessing and a bastard. Just ask the former.

Funny.

Last year I seem to recall a certain last place team, long out of the race, who throughly enjoyed playing spoiler.

I mean, if the Sox were playing the First Place--I don't know, Rays or Blue Jays--, okay then fine. I get it. You want revenge for our spoiling 2011.

But these are the Yankees, guys. Aren't you supposed to despise them with a heat of a thousand suns?

I really don't like Bobby V.

They're looking at the youth, and to see what they have to build with. Really can't blame them. The Red Sox aren't thinking about the Orioles or Yankees at this point.

That said, I wouldn't mind getting Mike Avilles from them to play 2B next year.

Buck could have played the C-squad vs. Boston last year to end the season but has enough integrity and respect for the game that in a situation where it determines the outcome of the playoffs he put his best foot forward. Joe Maddon thanked Buck and the Orioles for their professionalism in his press conference after game 162. We won't hear Buck saying anything like that at the end of this series, that's for sure.

If they want to look at rookies, well that's what Spring Training is for.

      Playoff Roster

      By Winter · Posted

      If any combination of Irvin, Flaherty, Fuji, Baumann with the locks of Gibson, Webb, Wells, Hall, Coulombe, Cano, Perez are all in the bullpen im not sure we need 13 pitchers.    Is 3 long men really needed(Gibson/Irvin/Flaherty) with days off? Hall/Wells can go more than 1. No doubt Kremer would be the one who could turn it up out of the BP opposed to Gibson BUT if Kremer can give you a start of 5 good innings as a 4th starter thats hard to pass on. -- Hyde wants to play matchups like crazy of late so i do think they'll take 13. O's love close games, old extra inning rules could be a factor in need for more length.

      Mullins too.  Seems like only Adley has been fairly hot lately.  Hopefully Mountcastle's double tonight will get things going for everyone else.  Fingers crossed the several days off they'll get next week will help reenergize things.

      The 2023 attendance thread

      I got through the gate at 5, was in line 4:45ish? And got a hoodie. It was pretty packed. Think some people just went for the hoodie though and then left early.    it was a different vibe at the ballpark, totally full, but people were just chilling and having fun, not really paying attention to the game, since the game itself didn’t mean much

      How long does your blank check for Elias last?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I can see why people would say a WS win would solidify him as an elite GM but as pointed out the playoffs are a crap shoot. Elias isn’t at fault if the pitching craps the bed or if the bats go cold.    He already is elite. He’s stocked this franchise with more good young talent than we could have hoped. As long as the Orioles keep making the playoffs and as long as he keeps good talent coming through the system that’s what he’ll be judged on. In addition to being at the vanguard of how to pick up guys like O’Hearn, etc., that’s important too.

      4th Playoff Starter: Gibson vs. Kremer

      By PsychoBird68 · Posted

      Gibson starts game 3 on the road and Means starts game 4 with Kremer in the pen as the longman with Means and Gibson on very short leashes...
