She Said the Prettiest Place On Earth Was Baltimore: Game Thread Jays at Orioles

Toronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles, May 25, 2009 1:35 PM EDT
Jays try to put out of an offensive slump with the help of the Baltimore pitching staff. I guess we find out if it was pitching or our bats that has caused the runs to stop happening. I'm guessing some of both. We hit the ball well yesterday but didn't get the big hit when we needed it.
Anyway it is Brian Tallet (2-2, 4,.47) going against Jeremy Guthrie (3-4, 5.37). Today's lineup:
Bautista gets Snider's spot in the outfield today, he has hit righties pretty good so far this season, .282/.451/.333 (small sample size warning). Yeah his on base is much higher than his slugging. Don't read too much into 39 at bats. No other changes from Cito's norm.
There is rain in the forecast for the 3 days we are in Baltimore. I hope it doesn't mess up this game. The line in the title is from 'Streets of Balitmore' by the late great Gram Parsons. I took out the words 'at night' because it is a day game. Almost used 'It's Raining in Baltimore' by the Counting Crows, but I don't like the song.
Come on guys, let's score 10.

I'm here, I'm stoked, Monday afternoon ball, go Jays!

According to Gameday it was the bats
There were plenty of mistake pitches and we just fouled them off.

blooper into shallow centrefield
shortstop and CF both go for it, SS makes a great catch running away from the IF. Runner on first thought it was a hit and broke for second. Seeing the chance to double up the runner, but with too much momentum away from the IF (and having fallen down or something), SS flips the ball to the CF who was running for the catch who then makes the throw to first to double off the runner?

Isn’t the rule of thumb for fielders to take everything you can reach unless you’re called off? Even still, his momentum is carrying him away from the bag and Hill has to scream quickly to get Overbay to leave it.

ya, you generally tell 1B and 3B that anything they can get is theirs

That's what I figured
You gotta rip on a guy too who is running for a play then stops at the last second, overthinking it, and the guy behind him gets caught by surprise or had no hope at taking it.
I try to remind my dad of that all the time when I’m playing short and the 3rd baseman cuts off a grounder to me.

by wroth91 on May 25, 2009 2:22 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
well, it's especially important for 3B to take balls in the hole if they can reach it
because their momentum is taking them towards 1B, whereas the SS would be deep in the hole and running away from first, making it a very difficult play even if they can reach the ball in the first place

Funny that the Braves PBP guys wondered why nobody played a shift against righties

by Torgen on May 25, 2009 2:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
that would be really hard
the pitcher would have to beat the runner to first by several steps, find the bag first, then turn all the way around to find the ball. It’s not like covering first where he’s facing the first baseman who is tossing the ball to him
by SuckaMD on May 25, 2009 2:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess...
But that seems like bad news waiting to happen. Deep throws coming from the hole are likely to be off-target and pitchers can’t take that much fielding practice to scoop them.

by wroth91 on May 25, 2009 2:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I always thought
that you can’t shift vs righties because there would be too much space to the RF side of second, since you’d have to leave the first baseman close to the line to cover on groundouts

Lind, Snider, Bautista, Rios, Wells. Cito’s had tons of opportunity to spell Wells and Rios and hasn’t used it. I can’t expect him to change that.
It’s the middle infielders to me that really need a mental break – just to take a breath, relax and then get back on the torrid pace they had to start the season.

Certainly hope not
But the wet conditions might not help.

Hmmm...
Is this new? MiLB has Gameday as well. Can watch the Vegas game (Cecil starting) there.

Very tough to tell, but ya, it looked like it did.
The contact looked to be between frames. But it did alter course slightly.

Scoreboard watching
10 – 0 Yanks
5 – 3 Sox.
0 – 7 Jays in last 7 games. When is the last time we were even in a flipping ball game? This is rediculous

Took 7 losses for Gibbons to get fired
Don’t think Cito will, but if he can’t get the guys hitting, what’s he here for? Not his on-field managing.

for me....I'm a dumb fan....I picked the Jays to win 86 games....
to get playoffs from that from one player, I need a 10 win player. So….Bonds in his last career prime does it easy….short of finding him….I’m curious who the one bat is we could get to put us over the top.

We could throw in Overbay too
Unless we’re looking to have Pujols play as DH, but if I understand correctly, he is a very good defender as well.
