The Darkest Timeline: Your 2012 Baltimore Orioles

or, A Collection of Men Who Used to be the Future

or, ENOUGH W/THE DUQUETTES

or, tea for the tillman.

or, teagarden for the tillman, even.

on that note, sounds like teagarden's back is fucked. that was fun.

lol my friend the yankee fan honestly did not believe me when i told him about that

if there new lows to be found, then goshdarnit, we'll find 'em!

what's the story there?

South Korean officials have sent a letter of protest to Major League Baseball (MLB) accusing the Baltimore Orioles of breaking protocols in signing 17-year-old schoolboy pitcher Kim Seong-min.

oooHHHHHhhhh!

State College of Florida 2, Baltimore Orioles 1

HA!

lost to triple-a norfolk today

Supposedly in the state college game the orioles minor leaguers were pitching and the position players were from state college. Then again, they still lost.

the ronny paulino-robert andino 8-9 combo is lethal

i love paulino

3-0

state college of florida >>>> minnesota twins

ugh. had a lot of hope for matusz today. i'm back in MY TEAM SUCKS mode. i always forget how difficult it is to listen to OPACY cheering louder for the yankees/sox than the birds.

it's pretty awesome when the yankees/sox lose, tho

if only it happened more often

yeah. i'd be less bummed if the o's were doing a single thing to warrant any cheering and if the twins didn't suck.

http://outsideisoverrated.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/reynolds-fail.gif

well if it makes you guys feel any better, the Sox lost pretty good tonight!

awesome

needs some p-shop tweaking... brb

http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx177/tupac-chopra/CwUJ2rev.jpg

the darkest timeline imo

*slowclap*

how awful is kevin gregg

i really can't believe that he is still closing games in the majors, let alone the AL east

was at the game tonight, froze my ass off in the middle of a bunch of yankees fans to witness this bullshit

Really bad night to be a fan of the White Sox.

Where is Sergio Santos when you need him? Oh yeah, he was traded to Toronto for a couple of rosin bags.

A rosenbag named Nestor Molina!

four errors in 5+ innings tonight

arrieta looks fucking amazing

n/m

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INRPA2Qq5QY

Nick Johnson reached base on a hit last night, raising his season average to .033.

though, the previous at bat would have been scored a clean double for jeter. nunez has no business in left field...why should HE be penalized?

nick johnson is raking

chris davis pitching

k on three strikes!

i've been watching the past seven innings thinking "can we just lose already" and this is the best payoff

lol baseball is amazing

this is awesome

battle of the pitching position players! i love this

that was smoked

feeling bad for darnell tbh

love that he pitches from the stretch

also that he had the instinct to head towards first on a grounder to the right side

k's gonzo!

0-for-8, fanned by a position player

damn

577 total pitches thrown

Chris Davis: 0-8, W

lol baseball is amazing

o's now own best record in the bigs

i wish they were not permitted to bring up all their triple-a relievers tomorrow

i don't know the intricacies of the orioles rotation, but

you've got a three-run lead in the 17th and you've already gotten away with one inning from your first baseman. is a starter *really* not available to pitch an inning? a win is a win

matusz was in the pen iirc but he's scheduled to go tomorrow and we're already going to be out of relievers, so

The SI game report says that the last time two position players pitched in the same game was 1925: Ty Cobb and George Sisler.

kinda wonder why teams never take a dive rather than play 17-inning games - I'd think that you're probably improving your chances of winning over the next several games by not using every single pitcher on your staff and wearing out your position players

For those of us who missed the whole thing:

http://mlb.sbnation.com/2012/5/7/3004252/baltimore-orioles-boston-red-sox-17-innings-chris-davis-pitching

I wonder how long the mlb.tv "condensed" vesion is?

I'd think that you're probably improving your chances of winning over the next several games by not using every single pitcher on your staff and wearing out your position players

I disagree with that - first of all, they didn't use any starters (which they definitely could have and actually probably should have after they got the lead), and secondly, getting a W is really important, much more than not getting the best out of your relievers over the next few days

yeah, you can get tomorrow's win in all kindsa nutty ways too

patton only pitched a third of an inning. i'm guessing he'll get the bulk of the relief innings tonight if matusz can't get far.

it's worrisome that we don't have another off day for two and a half weeks though.

this really is the best gif to watch over and over again

love this:

"I like picking out a different fan to watch each time that .gif loops. And after I've cycled through them all, I start all over again."

yeah thought about doing a poll for the best reaction but nah

p clearly the bald dude rubbing his hands together gleefully

that pitch is fairly wicked imo

i like the guy in green slowly putting his hands on top of his head

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1104472/guy-behind-gonzalez-3.gif

the ecstasy of defeat

Davis must have made some sort of deal with the devil over the winter. first - his insane bat so far this season and now he's pitching like a boss!

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/tumblr_m3krsrHxYK1qdlh1io1_400.gif

there's a really funny sbnation article to be made of mark reynolds 3B error gifs

11,938 (24.8% full) - % is based on regular season capacity

baltimoreans arent sold yet

so, they've given away half their positive run diff in the first two games of the texas series. yeesh.

Texas has a disgusting team.

ie, powerful and exceptionally sexy?

more or less... one of those for sure.

At what point do you think it’s possible that you could enter a game and pitch?:

“I didn’t actually ever think that would be possible. And Buck [Showalter] didn’t tell me until literally about two minutes before I ran out across the field to the bullpen. It was one of those games that was so crazy, you just wanted it to get over. You just wanted to win it and get out of there. I’m glad we were able to get the win.”

What pops into your head when Buck says that to you?:

“Buck was like, ‘Hey Chris, you got a glove?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I do.’ He was like, ‘Besides your first baseman’s glove?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ve got a third base glove.’ He’s like, ‘All right, well, grab it and go down to the bullpen and get warmed up. If we go ahead, J.J.’s still in. If not, you’re going in.’ I was like, ‘Sweeet!’ I ran up into the clubhouse and ripped my wrist tape off and almost ran out to the bullpen without a hat.”

Is it true you struck out Jarrod Saltalamacchia?:

“On three pitches. … At first I was just trying to get my bearings straight. I didn’t want to hurt myself and I wanted to keep us in the game. I didn’t want to just go out there and be a joke. I looked up and he was walking to the dish and I was like, ‘Oh yeah.’ I love Salty, but I wanted to strike him out and he would’ve done the same thing to me. I threw two fastballs to him and then Wieters put down a wiggle and I’m like, ‘I think that means split, so I’m going to throw it.’ I ended up throwing a pretty good one and he wouldn’t even look at me the next inning when I came to the plate.”

You also struck out Adrian Gonzalez, one of the best hitters in the game. Walk us through that:

“At first I was just trying to stay away from him because … there were two runners on and I didn’t want him to end up winning the game. My ball always has run on it, even when I play catch. … When I’m trying to pitch, it makes it even worse because I’m trying to not make it do that. I threw one inside and it kind of came back over the plate and he fouled it off and I had two strikes. … I wasn’t even thinking about striking him out, but I just took a little bit off a fastball because pitchers have done that to me in the past and it really works and it worked out in my favor.”

this has been a really weird week in orioles baseball.

posted on an orioles forum where people were trying to figure out if this is jeffrey maier pt 2. no one there seemed to realize how amazing this gif is. so i bring it here.

if i were directing this scene in a multi-camera sitcom i would tell everyone in the shot to do exactly what they did

I'm hoping that was ruled an out

wasnt even argued/reviewed!

so how soon does Davis take the mound?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/mike-wise-fans-who-yell-oh-during-national-anthem-are-tainting-a-moment-meant-for-patriotism/2012/05/19/gIQACK4RbU_story.html?tid=pm_sports_pop

According to a 2010 Baltimore Sun article, Orioles fans have embraced this tacky tradition since the mid-1970s. In 1993, Sun sports columnist emeritus John Steadman “considered the shouting a ‘repulsive act,’ ” suggesting at one point in his half-century career that the Orioles should forfeit any game at which the “OH” was shouted rather than sung. What Steadman, who took God’s buyout in 2001, failed to realize was how unnecessary his stand was; Angelos owned the team, meaning they were going to lose those games anyway.

HEYO

i'd like morbs to respond to mike wise

x-post--my brother-in-law and sister just shouted "Oh" while the national anthem was played at my son's high school baseball playoff game. My niece looked embarrassed. I just smiled.

nice.

so, jones for 6/85 is official. solid deal, methinks.

yeah i think that's pretty fair. very low chance he underperforms it, bigger chance he outperforms it

Hope you're right

per that dimwit column of 2 weeks ago, rooting for laundry > patriotism

Jamie Moyer plays for the 2012 Baltimore Orioles

wow, baseball just needs to let it die. and by it, i mean jamie moyer.

‏@AaronGleeman
Orioles' Triple-A roster includes Jamie Moyer, Miguel Tejada, Bill Hall, Joel Pineiro, J.C. Romero, Lew Ford, Pat Neshek, and Brian Roberts.

Long Island?

don't forget nate mcclouth!

The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the Orioles have signed Sidney Ponson to a Minor League deal. He will report to Triple-A Norfolk Friday.

what on earth

i feel like this is a new curse

J0rdan = ageist

I don't see anything wrong with having Moyer in Norfolk and bringing him up when needed.

yay Bill Hall!!

No, no, old baseball players need to put out on ice floes.
xp

Tony Plush is not that old

Manager Buck Showalter said the Orioles are expected to activate Roberts on Tuesday, but was hesitant to talk too much about it Sunday because of superstitious purposes.

lol

nine straight extra-inning wins

gritty, hustling gamers: the new market inefficiency.

w/ brian roberts now back at the top of the order, NOW is the time to call up miguel tejada, bill hall and lew ford!

tbh it's sort of bizarre to see roberts actually playing again

it would be bizarre as hell if tejada was also in the lineup

so, any bets on when moyer is added to the 40 man?

never -- released

miggi tejada asked for, granted release. norfolk tides, a little younger.

lew ford & omar quintanilla are taking this team 2 the top of the al east fyi

gwow. welcome to the show,mr. machado.

Well, we know Manny Machado can hit Luke Hochevar. Now we need to learn if he can hit major-league pitching.

hey, a #3 pick just homered twice off a #1 pick. ROY so far.

chris davis has 3 hrs on #8 pitches seen

orioles move back into 2nd if texas holds on against tb, thanks to the power strokes of lew ford and nate mcclouth -- wha?

won their last 13 one-run games

now w/ 100% more joe saunders!

I can't believe Kevin Gregg is still a major league pitcher.

2 out w/ reasonably favorable sp matchups next two days O_O's

Cruising with 2 outs in the 7th and a 3-1 lead ... but they gave up three runs and counting on a single, bases loaded walk, and an error.

Finally lost a one-run game.

The one time I cheer for the Orioles in a meaningful game (at least since 1997) and they blow it.

august was their winningest month since 1999, also quit being a baby

reynolds rap

let's go o's chant @ yankees stadium

mark reynolds trending on twitter

won all three series in new york for the first time since 1976

this team is ridiculous. i love it.

...and hate it.

the big orange machine

has any other team led their division with a negative runs scored differential in September? Crazy!

On Sep 5, 2007, the Diamondbacks led the NL West with a -33 DIFF.

Showalter post-game talk to team: "Our bats are hot, we're playing great, but a 12-0 blowout? We need to save runs for the close games. That's been our strategy all year, don't waste precious runs."

the Earl Weaver of Irrationality

i'm loving how ironic the thread title has become.

Hit to the score.

1987 Twins had a negative run differential i think?

true, 786-806

Really unfortunate, too, because an inexcusable umpire mistake has never decided the outcome of a pivotal Orioles-Yankees game before.

Jerry Meals was making a statement about sliding into first.

Reynolds was ejected a couple of weeks ago when a runner was wrongly called safe on an equally non-close play.

lol glad this happened, how many decades has it been since a call was blown against the yankees

just yesterday swisher ended up scoring on a bs hbp

and i never say this, but i do hope we throw at one of theirs tomorrow, taking out markakis might've just given them the AL east (that's what i'm going with)

yankees crying over a blown call is so insanely funny

tex fumed/whined/cursed about a called third strike a few innings earlier

i love that magical human element

tex is top 10 least likable athlete in sports

"Sometimes you wonder if the umpires are just trying to get out of there," said Teixeira, who had argued a strike three call in the eighth. "They don't want you to make a comeback. They want to go home because those were terrible calls. It is what it is. We are out there fighting. I'm out there playing on one leg. I wish it had gone my way."

ROCKIN' ONE LEG, BRO.

I'm fine w/ automatically calling out any dick who slides into first on a non-tag play.

Apparently he slid because his calf acted up.

I'm fine w/ automatically calling out Mark Teixeira.

It's kind of amazing that Buck Showalter and Davey Johnson are shoo-ins for manager of the year (*checks calendar to be sure it's not still 1995*).

shoo-ins is a little strong. what if the A's make the playoffs and the O's don't?

umps did kind of suck this game

OK, maybe not a shoo-in, but the Orioles making the playoffs would be a bigger story (and bigger accomplishment) because of their division.

It is what it is.

Teixeira to start talking like a weary homicide detective

I'm fine w/ automatically calling out Mark Teixeira.

for the first time ever, the orioles and the ravens are in first place at the same time

now you've gone too far

nubber down the line, fake throw 2 1st, gets runner coming off 3d, v heads up by machado

throw a mclouth over ur shoulder

omg that was like a game 7 celebration

looks like Destiny

Orioles 26-7 now in 1-run games

make that 27-7

also 13-0 in last 13 extra inning games

win 81, fittingly an extra inning 1-run win that we stole from pythagoras's crying infant child

HR notwithstanding, I'm not sure Nate McLouth, leadoff hitter, is an encouraging thing.

karl ravech ‏@karlravechespn
Showalter is so unique it's silly. How many other managers would have saved his closer until he actually had chance to close. 18th inning!

Bundy has been called up.

Karl "So Unique" Ravech

bundy!

Bundy?

O's are at it again -- battling Felix to a draw in regulation and about to win it on an Adam Jones HR in extras.

Jon Lester has never lost to the Orioles in twenty career starts. Anyone want to bet against the O's ending that streak tonight?

JIM THOM WINsS IT IN EXTRAS AG AGAIN??

chris davis is having a mark reynolds hot streak. just blasted a huge one that might end up the only hit against shields tonight.

7 HR in past 6 games. 1 walk.

impressive win, 4 combined hits in the game

wow Shields w/ the 15-K loss

#10 game score of the year

becomes the only top 20 game score to result in a loss

buck said that was the best game throw against them all yr

can we give dan duquette exec of the year because of his voodoo magic

also rick peterson gets best professor, 2012

just realized - Johnson is only the 13th closer to break 50 saves in a season!

Caple thinks WC is better for the O's:

and with the way TEX is looking it's hard to argue.

o's are looking much worse tonight

it's one game.

important game tho, and the offense hasn't done much better the past two nights

so it's Steve Johnson or Joe Saunders to pitch tomw
