Adam Loewen, former Oriole #1 pick, back in the majors as a pitcher

I dont even remember him. LOL

Cubs lefty, had a few good years in Chicago, by the time he came to the Orioles his shoulder was primarily composed of Play Dough and CGI. Threw 57 innings for the O's, a 1998-2011-tastic 7.80 ERA. His 195 innings for the Cubs in 2007 is about 40% of his career total, but unbelievably he's still giving it a go for the Nats' AAA team.

I looked him up, and I really don't remember him here.

He was only here for a part of one season, in 2009, as a starting pitcher (13 starts, 14 appearances, 7.80 ERA that year). He started the year on the DL, came up in mid-May, went back on the DL in July and that was his tenure as an Oriole. Huge sweeping curve ball, really wacky sidearm delivery, very poor command. Watching him attempt a pickoff throw from that delivery was pretty amusing.

Poor Dave Trembley. The pitching staffs he had to endure were really atrocious.

And yet, like poor Mike Flanagan, the only type of team they would have been entrusted with.

Isn't that Rich Hill?

Indeed it is.

I don't even remember him. LOL

Rich Hill was mentioned in this very catchy song from March of 2009, just prior to the start of the season:

HOW 'BOUT DEM O'S ??? *

If you've been holdin' out for more than 10 years now, just hopin' things'll get better.

And if you're worried that you won't make it through another looooooong September.

And if you don't know we can turn it around without Brooksie, 'Cakes, or Cal ...

Well we got Roberts, and Markakis, Adam Jones and Cesar Izruris ...
