Darn, I was about to post this...had just copied the lineups at 8:33 as well. Hopefully they get off the schnide.

Don Quixote-started game threads: Orioles 1-0

Non-Don Quixote-started game threads: Orioles 0-8

:drek:

There can't be anything to this, but I had hoped to get in early just for metaphysics' sake.

Yeah, yeah, small sample size, too. ;)

I know the A's have gotten off to a solid start, but there just is nothing to me frightening about that lineup. I think David pitches a great game tonight, and the O's get the West Coast swing started.

I feel like tonight could be a really refreshing win. It was over 30 hours ago since the loss, different opponent, different part of the country..I like it. Let's go birds.

Yeah, hopefully they get it together. I haven't seen this team remotely perform to potential (not talking individual games) in a long time; if this trip could serve as a reset button I'd like to see how things progress. Some of the West should be meat for this team but they just haven't gotten it done. I'll be delighted if they can start to change that tonight.

Reimold needs to play more.

Hopefully he can somehow get some time in at first.

It's a real shame he was hurt in ST and they couldn't give him a month to try and learn it.

Ideally I'd just like to see Luke get hot enough to maximize his value and then deal him. Then Reimold can be the primary DH, getting the occasional start in left.

the Athletics line up is soooooo bad. But some random turd seems to always crush us, its probably going to be Pennington or someone.

And who is staying up to watch the game? It is a work day tomorrow!

Me, that's who! Tomorrow is Friday, so it's not a problem.

At least for me it's not, but my employer might think differently. :rolleyes:

I believe David Hernandez is going to pitch well tonight. Also have a feeling the Orioles break through against Ben Sheets and are able to get quite a few extra base hits; possibly even a triple as well. Hopefully Felix Pie will get the offense jump started.

I'm feeling a good night of baseball for the Orioles. Let's go O's! Work will somewhat get done tomorrow.:D

    • Mayo could DH versus LH SP, and play some 3rd va RHP. Ramon could enter in late as a defensive sub. That’s an everyday role with 1 off day a week.  
    • I'll forgive him for both if he can keep pitching the way he has. Baker? you will probably see him this Summer in a Shuttle move or 2 to eat non leveraged innings, hopefully not in October.  
    • A reliever for us. He’d be behind Coloumbe, Akin, Perez, and Vespi. We have a really good team. It’s crazy to just assume that the next prospect is always going to be better than what we currently have. We’re not just going to cast aside successful and trusted relievers to ride with Povich that may be our 5th best LH RP. It would be best for him to go to a team that isn’t trying to win on a nightly basis and see if his stuff plays at the MLB level.  Just because someone is an Orioles farmhand doesn’t give them a super power. They need to be able to get MLB hitters out with stuff. Nothing against Povich, I root for him, but we just DFA’d Yohan Ramirez that probably has a more playable arsenal out of the pen than Povich would. 97 with a plus sweeper.  Povich seems like Zimmerman 2.0. Hope he finds a stuff uptick. But it is what it is. 
    • I saw a lot of comments in the game threads about how the Yankees can't hit, but they have playoff caliber pitching (in some spots). Yes, their closer throws a whiffle ball. Their starters can be feast or famine (depending on which side of the fence you're on). Prob 2 or 3 other very nice bullpen arms, including the most Bronx baseball name of all time, Ron Marinaccio. Ronnie Uncle Jimmy probably grew up breaking windows playing stick ball on Wilson Avenue. Anyway... Playoff caliber pitching with a somewhat toothless lineup could be great experience for us throughout the season. They'll continue to win games against bad teams and hang around in the division race all year, so each matchup we have with them will have some mild playoff intensity to it. In short, the Yankees could be a fun simulator for us this year. Finally, they're good for something.
    • Give me back Hunter Harvey for someone like Jud Fabian.
    • Sounds like a good opportunity for the O's to do their whole late inning comeback routine again. 
    • When did teams start trading a top 20 prospect in baseball for a relief pitcher with a month of success.
