The Baltimore Orioles used 17 players in the line-up on this day in 1983 as they fell to the Oakland Athletics 4-3 at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.

Jim Palmer struggled though 3.2 innings by surrendering 7 hits and 4 earned runs; he also walked 4 and struck out 3 and committed a balk.

John Lowenstein was the lone bright light for the Birds in the game as he went 1 for 2 with a double and 2 RBI before being pinch hit for by Gary Roenicke: no other Orioles hitter had a multi-hit game.

Winning pitcher Chris Codiroli stymied the Orioles over 7.0 innings of work.  He allowed just 4 hits and was responsible for 2 earned runs.  Additionally, he walked 4 and struck out 1.

Season Record: 9-8

Interesting to note that Manager Joe Altobelli pinch-hit for starting catcher Rick Dempsey in the eighth and then pinch-hit for his replacement, Joe Nolan, in the ninth.

Wonder who he would have put in to catch in the bottom of the ninth if the Orioles had tied the score or gone ahead in the top half?

      Baumann DFA

      By Malike · Posted

      For two years we talked about 7+ run leads possibly not being Baumann proof. I probably would have DFA'd Perez first, but I don't fault them here. They needed to get rid of someone and he was one of the two least reliable options out of the pen. I guess Perez got the LHP hard thrower advantage, even though he's not good.

      Boras has never had a guy sign a long-term extension with 2 years of service time or less. I'm sure it's something they will look long and hard at after the season. I don't expect that to change in May of this year, but I do think that if they make an offer that he turns down, people won't think they lowballed him.

      Not saying they are one jerk but there’s always likely something that is the straw that broke the camels back and that outing yesterday may have been it.

      5/17: Henderson Leads The Way

      By justD · Posted

      I know you can go to the MLB.com site and see a highlight with commentary and all that, but I had a hunch last night for this particular AB and got lucky.  Was enjoying myself too much live to capture either of the triples for timing purposes 😆  But it was fun hearing this huge crowd erupt as it was headed back to tie things up in the bottom of the first!

      Agreed. My point was that the fans knew the Nats were trying.  The Orioles have not tried.  People can say that we don’t know but Gunnar was asked and said there were no talks that he had any knowledge of.  No player should be upset if the Orioles came out and said they wanted some extensions.  And the fans are going to be happy they are at least trying. Right now we have no evidence they have even tried.  This is why many, including some defending saying nothing, were upset with Angelos.

      It's hard to hit your way out of a slump when you are on the bench. Mullins is going to get chances, I don't believe he's completely cooked.
