So if we can't hit Bedard tonight will the same morons be saying its because the hitters are lazy just like last night and not playing hard?

Uh last time I checked we got Bedard for 2 runs in the first inning. We got 1 hit against Washburn. Big difference.

There isn't a single trainer, pitching coach or manager on this site, but a lot of guys sure slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night. Love the ridiculous melt downs!:rolleyes:

Kranitz came out and the first thing he said was, "Are you alright?"

So there's pretty obviously something strange going on with his delivery.

Palmer thinks he does, and he has said at least 5 times that there's something wrong with Guthrie.

I think it's pretty obvious that he's not right.

First off, Palmer never said Guthrie was hurt or in danger of hurting himself. Nor did he sound all excited or upset about it. If Palmer thought they were risking Guthrie's health, he'd be saying it out loud. Say what you want about Palmer, but he's not exactly shy and afraid to say what he thinks. So, quit putting words in his mouth.

Second off, Palmer said there is something not right, but then said sometimes you just don't have it. He also said that Guts has enough to get out of it by actually pitching even when he's not right. He called this a learning experience.

Third off, Guthrie got out of it just fine. It was a 13p inning. So, howsabout if everybody quits yelling and wetting your pants. Both Palmer and the P-coach are cool as a cucumber. Take lessons from them.

So, what'd Trem get thrown out for? Was is the Reimold thing (which I missed)?
Yeah, he accepted, but complained, about the call initially, then came out during the commercial break. He was screaming "so you're telling me my guy didn't run hard" at the ump when he got tossed.

Man, I really want us to sign Bedard this offseason. I don't care if it costs a young kid a spot. He's filthy when he's healthy. Keep Berken, Koji, or Hernandez in the bullpen, then when he missed 6 starts they can make those starts. He's simply too dominant to not consider signing.

Especially if we trade Guthrie.

Glad to see our hitters in the usual form. Haven't seen them look this bad since...last night. One solid hit by Scott and a ton of K's. I've never applauded a Wigginton fly out until tonight. :)

How soon you forget...

Bedard used to do this for us against opposing teams and we'd praise Bedard.

Good pitching beats good hitting (ive now said this twice today...hopefully im right :laughlol:)

Can I not express concern for Guthrie's health given the status of our pitching staff without "wetting my pants?"

It's not about him getting hit, it's about his health of his arm.

      Get this through your head once and for all.  Stop.  Just stop.  You are embarrassing yourself.  No JH is not squatting 800 pounds, nor is he deadlifting 800 pounds...which is actually easier.  And not even close. NOT EVEN CLOSE.   For you to believe he does this tells me a lot about what you are willing to believe....which seems to be anything as long as it fits your narrative.   The best of the best power lifters in the world....as in the people that devote their lives to power lifting, have trouble squatting even 550 pounds and deadlifting over 600 pounds.  And again, I am talking people that devote their every waking moment to power lifting.   Do you honestly think a 185 pound baseball player is squatting and deadlifting more than guys that do it professionally?  Do you honestly believe that the Orioles management is going to let him even try that kind of weight?  That is called SNAP city.  And trust me none of that weight would even budge if he tried.   Here is a video where he says his max bench is 300.  And he says he THINKS he can do that and in addition he has the use of pads and the slingshot...which makes it way easier.  Just for reference, I have max benched 425 and I am 51 years old and only weigh 210. He also says his max squat is 445 or so.  That is nothing.  I can tell you 10000000000000000s of guys, including me, who have squatted more.  Much more.  So just stop with the hyperbole.  He is not some super strong kid.  He lifts about what every kid who lifts his size does.   Forgetting the fact that he gets the top of the top training that most kids don't. Here is what squatting 800 pounds really looks like...ok?  This is maybe the most powerful powerlifter of all time.   Just stop.  Stop.  I don't want to embarrass you more.

      Bowlers are elite athletes. They walk 2 feet and throw a ball then go sit down until it's their turn again. They know what an elite athlete looks like.

      Please stop talking about you.  No one gives a f*** about anything to do with your life, your bowling ball, your wife or anything else you try to pat yourself on the back about.  Your life is meaningless to the rest of us.  Get that through your head. And yes, fields can be an issue and he is a good fielder.  You don’t know what you are talking about.  Again, get that through your head. He has had scouts, people around the game, etc…laud him for his defense and talk about how well he moves. He is learning and likely making dumb mistakes, like all players do.    Errors mean very little without context and that is a well accepted opinion around the game.    Have your doubts all you want..much less everything else you say on here, your take will look dumb soon enough.

      Thank you for taking the time to make this post. It  is well thought out and well researched.  You make some compelling arguments.
