March 3 - At Dodgertown

[baseballnelie]

Good 2 solid innings out of Albers. I would like to see him do well and possibly get that 5th starting spot.

Tike Redman flies out to CF (1 out)

Markakis k (2 out)

Costanzo k (3 out)

[baseballnelie]

Is Albers coming back out for a 3rd inning or did they mention someone warming up in the bullpen?

[Cire]

I am being completely serious. A team has to have at least four regulars for an away game in ST.

The Mets got in trouble the other day, because they only sent Ryan Church.

Well the Orioles don't have an assigned regular SS and we don't know if Roberts is going to be here.

I don't see why MLB should have a problem, but they probably will

[mdevito]

Randor Bierd in for Albers. Great day for Albers.

Already recorded an out, I missed how it happened.

So that would rule out Quiroz, not sure about Redman.

It is also in reference to the line-up, not the pitching staff.

The Orioles have Markakis, Jones, Scott, Roberts, Mora, Millar, Huff, Hernandez, and Payton who could all fit the bill really though.

I don't know that Quiroz is ruled out. The rule is still unclear on "regular" as to whether it can be a backup or whether it must be a starter. Quiroz has a "reasonable chance" to become a regular this year.

Could be argued that with the fluidity of trades and such, and many will shriek at this, but with a Roberts trade both Torres and Fahey have a "reaonable chance" to be regular 2B's this year.

I agree there is a lot of stretching but I have to think the rule is enforced subjectively, and as such you can't possibly target a team with as much roster fluidity as the Orioles right now.

From Matt Riley

[mdevito]

lol, they're making fun of Randor Bierd's name.

Pierre grounds out to 2b. (2 outs)

Martinez pops it up (3 outs)

[wickedwitch]

We could always argue that Moore will be a regular.

[Bosibus]

That Boss button on MLB GameDay Audio is hilarous.

I mean, I give my boss my name and password so we can both listen to the games but if someone used that, seriously.

Yeah so we never know how a prospect will turn out, no matter how good they look at the lower levels and what we expect from them. I like all the new prospects we've gotten back in trades though.

[Camden_yardbird]

Nasty K:9.

Seconded. Thats disgusting. Even if it had been cut in half by the time he reached the ML's he would have still been a decent pitcher.
