Royals at Orioles thread

[the burgundy and gold]

We have a very good chance to get some wins in this one:
Thursday Trascel (sp)
Friday Bedard
Saturday Cabrera
Sunday Wright

i'll be at the game on Saturday night.Our goal for this series should be 3-1 IMO.:applause:

[Maxito]

If we don't at least 2 games I will be mad. I don't like to underestimate teams, cause anything can happen. But this is the time to regroup and to start playing better. I kind of wished we had a dayoff today so we can let our bullpen get some rest.

[TheDoyler23]

Steve Trachsel vs Gil Meche

Erik Bedard vs Brandon Duckworth

Daniel Cabrera vs Odalis Perez

Jaret Wright? (Hayden Penn?) vs Zach Grienke

[GOSKINS_08]

The royals have been playing good this season, and Meche is pitching great..Hopefully we can get atleast 2, 3 would be better and 4 well that would be great..I might be going to the game friday.

[sith lord]

Are we that bad that we're hoping to split a home series against the Royals?

[TheDoyler23]

There's a difference between being bad and not playing well. This lineup is stru-g-g-g-ling

Roberts .139
Mora .244
Markakis .243
Miggi .250
Huff .250
Gibby .200
Millar .222
Patterson .250
Bako .105

[twenty-eight]

Over his six-year career, Huff has hit better in the second half (.303 average, 71 homers, 239 RBIs) than the first (.273, 57, 210).

I'm going to say Guthrie will start Sunday more than likely. I think Penn had some arm soreness after his last start.

[DCskins12]

lets get a win today o's!!

[BryenJ1982]

Two men on - Aubrey Huff down in 4 pitches....inning over.

Geez.

[the burgundy and gold]

still no score in the 5th. great starting pitching yet again. The offense is playing badly yet again. Jeez and we thought the pitching was going to be our down fall, it sure looks like the offense is the problem this year.

[sith lord]

I never thought this lineup was all that good, but I didn't think it was this bad. These guys are horrible. We don't have legitimate threat (sorry Tejada) in this lineup. We need that guy who can be a run producing machine year in, year out.

did u think this lineup was average? this lineup is the bottom 5 in the al!

[sith lord]

Bottom 5 in the AL? Seriously, it might be a bottom 5 offense in the entire ML.

[TheDoyler23]

So Sam takes Trachsel out after 85 pitches while cruising thru 7 and predictably, Bradford gets in a jam w 1 out.

[aejm1400]

10 hits, 1 run. Now that they actaully get a few hits they decide to throw in some DP's to help the Royals out.

[TheDoyler23]

5 double plays and getting thrown out at home by 10 feet will do that. :doh:

It's a good thing my hair is short as I woulda yanked a bunch out.

Walker K's DeJesus on a 3-2 slider. 2 away with 2 on.

[TheDoyler23]

Huff knocks the liner down and saves a run and ends the inning!

Walker gets the second out, Baez gets the 3rd...and we'll see if the micro managing continues.

[the burgundy and gold]

great pitching out of the pen. i really like Walker. now lets get some damn runs.


good boy melvin

[TheDoyler23]

Mora takes a pitch off the shoulder to get on base.

Come on Kakes!

[TheDoyler23]

Markakis bunts Mora over to second. 1 away.

Miggi will prolly be pitched around...or strike out on bad pitches...

EDIT: Miggi intentionally walked to get to a strugggggling Huff and Gibby.

[TheDoyler23]

Huff hits a long fly ball to dead center, Mora tags up and goes to thrid. Gibby with the chance to be the hero.

Damn...that Huff ball is gone on a humid July day...

[TheDoyler23]

Gibby pops out on a knee high fastball right down broadway.

*sigh*

[TheDoyler23]

Extra innings.....again...

[TheDoyler23]

Roberts with the double to start the 10th....

[TheDoyler23]

Mora bunts over Roberts, 1 away and they have to pitch to Markakis with one away and Miggi on deck.

[TheDoyler23]

Markakis gets the IBB to set up the double play. Tejada getting walked as well?

[TheDoyler23]

Tejada ALSO gets the IBB to load the bases for The STruggggggling Huff.

[TheDoyler23]

Hugg hits a semi hard grounder to first and they cut down the run at the plate.

Gibby up w 2 away...

[TheDoyler23]

Gibby loops a single over the 3rd basemans head and it's OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2-1 O's.

12 hits = 2 runs. Sweet.

[the burgundy and gold]

thank god we won that damn game. back to back extra innings games. thats hard.

[PapaDRoc]

The O's have been pitching very well thus far this season. The O's will bring in the runs offensively eventually, its just all about consistent pitching.

I know it is early ,but if our starters continue to play the way they have, the O's could be a very tough team to beat this season.

[GOSKINS_08]

Yes! Walkoff and by Gibbons! Our pitching has been fantastic especially the last 4 games!

[GOSKINS_08]

I dont think the game sunday will be played..There is suppose to be alot of rain saturday and sunday..Saturdays game may be able to be played.

[aejm1400]

I dont think the game sunday will be played..There is suppose to be alot of rain saturday and sunday..Saturdays game may be able to be played.

If Sunday gets rained out, that means the O's would be able to save Guthrie from having to start. However, I actually think he could go 5 or 6 giving up 2 runs againest the Royals.

[aejm1400]

2 runs from a Huff Double, but boy that was crap how they took the Homerun away from him after the Royals center fielder argued it. If you didn't see it, it hit the top of the fence, went into the air and back onto the field of play. It was ruled a HR, but changed after the Royal player explained what happened and a conference.

At least the O's got the big 2-out hit and actually scored a few runs.

[aejm1400]

O's add another one on Roberts RBI double. O's leading 3-0.

[TheDoyler23]

Bedard allows only 1 run in a bases loaded no outs situation, w 2 K's w the frisbee curve.

Nasty

[TheDoyler23]

Bedard looks like he's only throwing his curve and 4 seamer. Kinda forcing his way through this one. Has a 4-1 lead though.

[TheDoyler23]

GRAND SLAM FROM NICK THE STICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the 2-2 fastball JUUUUUUUST mised, but the 3-2 fastball was right down the middle

[Metalhead]

Damn.....was that one of the greatest freakin at-bat's ever??

[TheDoyler23]

Get to .500 tomorrow and never look back.

[aejm1400]

Finally the O's put up some late inning runs. Now if only they can stop hitting into so many double plays.

[GOSKINS_08]

I was at the game tonight! Great game..Bedard wasn't great but he gave us 6 solid innings, and our bullpen was money again!

[the burgundy and gold]

another win, we're pitching very very well this season. finally the sticks wake up.

[aejm1400]

I'm starting to think the O's need different bats during the week then they use on the weekend. Weekday runs hard to come by. Weekend runs seem to be in supply.

[TheDoyler23]

The fact that we're a game under .500 with 2 SP's and 2 everyday players out is very encouraging; especially now that we're actually hitting now.

[GOSKINS_08]

haha also last night I think it was the bottom of the 8th, some guy ran onto the field, he ran all the way from the Orioles dugout to the outfield..All the fans were standing up cheering for him lol..And no cops even chased him, which I thought was weird.

[the burgundy and gold]

im about to head off to the game, lets hope for a win. i have an extra ticket that i'd be looking to sell for 20 bucks, if you want to come on down. go ahead and give me an IM or call me AIM screen name is "yankeesblow9898" you'll find my phone number there.

[Who Del]

They have to cancel. Too much rain on the radar.

[twenty-eight]

Come on Daniel. Get out of the first!!


ps. Dejesus mang is a liar!

[TheDoyler23]

3-0 Royals.

Sanders walked even though the 2-2 and 3-2 pitches looked like strikes, then a single and a hit batter. So then Castillo whiffs catching a ball and its 3-0.

Next pitch us a groundout...of course.

[TheDoyler23]

4-2 KC in the 6th, but the O's have the first 2 runners on and no outs. Tejada singled, then Huff drew a 10 pitch walk.

[TheDoyler23]

Milarr hits a pop up that falls in cause DeJesus called for it then let it drop. Bases juiced for Gomez.

[TheDoyler23]

GOMEZ WITH THE GRAND SLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One grand slam ALL of last year and back 2 back this year!

He was only in the game since Perez is a lefty

[r2k64]

What a hit by Gomez! Grand Slam!!!

[aejm1400]

I'm telling you, it's those weekend bats. That's Homerun #59 in Gomez's career.

[aejm1400]

I know Cabrera only went 5 and got charged with 3 earned runs, but he pitched well and shouldn't have given up a run in the 1st if Millar makes that catch in LF which was followed up with a DP. Either way, 3 starts, and only 5 walks this year. AAnd yes I'm being nice and not counting those hit batters.

[aejm1400]

Damn these KC batters and their getting hit by the ball. Parrish has 1st and 2nd with no outs.

[TheDoyler23]

Parrish is making this more interesting than it needs to be.

[aejm1400]

Parrish is making this more interesting than it needs to be.

Yes he did. A hitm hit batter, then 3 K's.

[TheDoyler23]

JP pitches in and out of a jam with 3 K's.

[TheDoyler23]

Tejada striping the ball the other way is usually a good sign for hom to bust out.

[TheDoyler23]

Huff hits a one hopper to the pitcher and moves Miggi to second. They walk Millar to pitch to Gomez.

Bynum in to run for Millar.

[aejm1400]

Tejada striping the ball the other way is usually a good sign for hom to bust out.

Nice hit to see after the ball up an in.

[TheDoyler23]

Walker in for the 8th. hee haw

[TheDoyler23]

Walker gets 2 K's in the 8th and a 1-2-3 inning.

Guy throws frisbees back there. 78 MPH frisbees.

[TheDoyler23]

Patterson with the infield single. Man, that guy is fast!

Castillo bunts back to the pitcher and Patt gets run up at second. UGH.

Earl Weaver is pissed somewhere...

[TheDoyler23]

Ray come in for the 9th.

"Sweet dreams are made of this....."

[TheDoyler23]

Ray K's German. 1 away

[TheDoyler23]

DeJesus pops out to left. 2 away

[TheDoyler23]

Ray K's Grudzielanek. Ball game.

SWEET DREAMS

[GOSKINS_08]

Yes another win! Our bullpen is great and I figured it would be with the new guys we got..Back at .500!..Cabrera wasn't to bad, they just hit the balls in the right places..Who knew Gomez would get the biggest hit of the game? lol..I doubt the game will be played tomorrow, but if it is lets go for the sweep!

[TheDoyler23]

Both Bedard and Cabrera pitched good enough to win the game despite not having good "stuff" out there. Granted, its against the Royals. But it's still encouraging.

.500! May we never look back.

[the burgundy and gold]

i was at the game, pretty good besides it being freezing out. Cabrera was slightly dissapointing but pitched alright. I was a little worried there before Gomez went yard, the offense wasn't looking to good until that happened. Im really impressed by the bullpen yet again. Offense needs to pick it up a little i think. Jamie Walker is really really impressing me.

[sith lord]

I'm real happy with our pitching staff, but I still believe we're gonna need another bat.

[TheDoyler23]

Sunday's game has been rained out. No suprise as it's supposed to rain till 4 with showers off and on for the rest of the day.

[GOSKINS_08]

Damn, I figured it would be..I wanted to see the players wear #42 though.

[GOSKINS_08]

But I guess it does mean we get the sweep!

[the burgundy and gold]

darn i was really looking forward to watching this game, o well we get the sweep and now we play the D-rays.

[Maxito]

Now off to the Drays. They always give the Orioles a hard time. Hopefully we win 2 out of 3

[twenty-eight]

Agent 14!!! Gomez is unconscious!!!

[twenty-eight]

Parrish is lights out. dude is sick

[GOSKINS_08]

lol 28, were you watching the replay of last nights game?

[oriolesfan93p]

I watched parts of it seeing as I didn't get the opportunity to watch the game live, and since we won both times the game was on TV I think we should get credit for it twice :P

[twenty-eight]

lol 28, were you watching the replay of last nights game?

Yeah. I couldnt watch anymore of the Wiz game. It was just as good the second time around:)

[TheDoyler23]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BUMP for the makeup game.

O's win 3-2, Markakis with the game winning homer in the 8th after Walker blew the lead in the top of the inning. Cabrera was solid over 7 innings, allowing 6 hits, 3 bb and 1 er.

This win hurts our chances at getting the first overall pick, and Pedro Alvarez. But oh well.

[GOSKINS_08]

Im glad we won..Atleast we have the good young pitching and Nick Markakis going for us..Along with Brian Roberts and the younger players ect.

[Mooney]

This win hurts our chances at getting the first overall pick.....




There's always next year.

[TheDoyler23]

Looks like its the Nats with the 1st pick. :cool:
