Game Thread for Game 152 Orioles at Jays

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:04 PM EDT in Toronto Blue Jays Game Threads

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays, Sep 17, 2008 7:07 PM EDT

Lineup

Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays

09/17/08 7:07 PM EDT

Baltimore Orioles	Toronto Blue Jays
Brian Roberts - 2B	Joe Inglett - 2B
Nick Markakis - RF	Marco Scutaro - SS
Melvin Mora - 3B	Alex Rios - RF
Aubrey Huff - 1B	Vernon Wells - CF
Ramon Hernandez - C	Adam Lind - LF
Adam Jones - CF	Lyle Overbay - 1B
Oscar Salazar - DH	Scott Rolen - 3B
Lou Montanez - LF	Gregg Zaun - C
Juan Castro - SS	Travis Snider - DH

So after saying he was 'looking to next year' Cito has pretty much the same lineup again tonight. I was hoping to see Thigpen, and maybe see Snider up higher. Not sure how much I'll get to watch tonight. Have installers here putting up a new 'entertainment center', finally. Some day I'll be able to watch the big HD TV I bought 3 weeks ago when I thought they would have everything up in a matter of days.

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:10 PM EDT reply actions

well I'm a couple of hours away from HD

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:17 PM EDT up reply actions

And then some clean up so likely won't see this game....damn

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:17 PM EDT up reply actions

can I hope that Scoot isn't batting at the top of the order next year?

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:19 PM EDT reply actions

if Hill moves to SS

I bet Scoot and Inglett will platoon at 2nd, with Scoot getting plenty of playing time. They love him

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:23 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah I don't really see the appeal

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:23 PM EDT up reply actions

I like him okay in a utility role

but clearly he doesn’t need to be batting 1st.

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:25 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah he's a good back up.

but 500 at bats is a little much

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:26 PM EDT up reply actions

quick inning for the jays

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:21 PM EDT reply actions

they picked the minor league team mvps

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:22 PM EDT reply actions

great inning for Purcey

I really hope he can show something over these last few starts

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:25 PM EDT reply actions

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:28 PM EDT up reply actions

Purcey AAA, Campbell AA, Dopirak A+, Rzepcznski, Robert Bell, Fuenmayor, Carlos Peres and Oliver Dominguez

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:26 PM EDT reply actions

cool

Fuenmayor bounced back, but repeating the rookie league isn’t too impressive

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:27 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah but then he's only 19 right?

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:29 PM EDT up reply actions

yes

still lots of potential, a little more power next seasn would be nice though

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:31 PM EDT up reply actions

I thought

Wells had hit that better than it went

promptly erased by Lyle

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:31 PM EDT up reply actions

is he still leading the league?

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:31 PM EDT up reply actions

overbay is 5th in the lead in GDP.....Vlady leads the league

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions

3-2 Rays in the first....wakefield isn't having the same luck he had against us

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:32 PM EDT reply actions

Your mets are winning hugo

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:40 PM EDT reply actions

for once

I was supposed to go to the game today, but have been feeling sick so I didn’t go

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:41 PM EDT up reply actions

A flu or something?

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:46 PM EDT up reply actions

not sure

fever and sore throat, but not bad enough to keep me home from work, which is a good thing as I’m completely swamped

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions

lucky hit

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:40 PM EDT reply actions

leadoff double for Rolen

nice to see him hitting it hard

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:45 PM EDT reply actions

that was unimpressive, Zaun

time for Thigpen chants to start?

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:46 PM EDT reply actions

I'll gladly join in....Zaun has shown what he can do this year and it ain't much

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah

I’m not expecting anything much from Thigpen, just to show that he can be a cheap backup and not embarass himself

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

by hugo on Sep 17, 2008 7:49 PM EDT up reply actions

if he can hit .220 that's as good as Zaun

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:50 PM EDT up reply actions

didn't he hit worse than that

the last time he was given reasonable PT?

by SuckaMD on Sep 17, 2008 8:36 PM EDT up reply actions

OPS+ of 54 last year in 101 AB

by SuckaMD on Sep 17, 2008 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions

Well we'll see....I'd like to see him play some this year

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions

sure, especially now that we are definitely out of the race

but I don’t have high expectations for him. I think he’s likely to be another in the long line of failed Blue Jays catching prospects

by SuckaMD on Sep 17, 2008 8:41 PM EDT up reply actions

I don't either, but someone has to be back up next year....

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 8:42 PM EDT up reply actions

I'm going to have to take a couple of boys to find food in a couple here.....

was going to wait till the installers were done but I think they is here for a while yet

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 7:49 PM EDT reply actions

doubt you'll miss much

guess we will get to see thigpen....zaun was pulled for a pinch runner

by Tom Dakers on Sep 17, 2008 8:54 PM EDT reply actions

Inglett drives home the tying run
