From Roch's blog -

Scott Moore isn't starting today because manager Dave Trembley didn't want to make any drastic changes in the lineup with a four-game winning streak. But he said Moore will start at third base tomorrow and at second base on Thursday, and he'll play first base on Friday.

Here's the lineup for today:

Brian Roberts - 2B

Melvin Mora - 3B

Nick Markakis - RF

Kevin Millar - 1B

Aubrey Huff - DH

Luke Scott - LF

Ramon Hernandez - C

Adam Jones - CF

Luis Hernandez - SS

Daniel Cabrera - P

A few players took exception with what they perceived as more negative media coverage off yesterday's game, and they weren't shy about expressing their anger. There was some serious venting going on inside the clubhouse before Trembley met with reporters, with reliever Jamie Walker doing most of the talking.

It looks like the Orioles are adopting the ol' us-against-the-world mentality.

Hey, whatever motivates you. It's worked for other teams.

I wonder which columnist they were upset at. Besides Roch, I can't say I'm a fan of any of the Sun's sports writers. Bill Ordine shouldn't be writing at a major newspaper, and Peter Schmuck isn't funny whatsoever.

  • Add Dave Johnson and Tom Davis (who never seems to get mad about anything) to the list od people pissed about the negative coverage of the team. Johnson's a bit of a hothead, but it's really strange to hear someone as affable as Davis go off.

  • RatDog sang the anthem. That is also weird.

  • Go O's.

This is weird logic. What if they win today, won't he want to avoid changes with a five game winning streak? Just give the guy a start, geesh.

Also, are we giving Brob a break already (on Thursday)? Or will he DH? Thoughts?

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
