SUNDAY AFTERNOON Game Thread - Maryland Ornithology @ Angels - 12:30 PM
Jeremy GUTHRIE versus Ervin SANTANA
You may also post your O.P.D. Guesses in this thread.
Guthrie is a bright spot for the Orioles pitching staff that we can hopefully stain.
Ervin is the most popular topic on this website, a veritable Halosphere Paris Hilton if you will, minus the DUI...
Random Song Lyrics
Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I've got is a photograph
And I realize you're not comin' back anymore.
Garret Anderson is back to play LF and DH. Counting today, there are four games left with a DH prior to nine straight interleague road games.

3 strike outs and a fly out

Oi
Well that was quick.scottnak - June 3, 2007
Gold glove defense by GA.
melvintoast - June 3, 2007
wow, this gonna be a duel?
Lotta quick outs so far.Then again, I'd expect that from this POS lineup scoscia built.
101halo - June 3, 2007
Not a bad swing.
melvintoast - June 3, 2007
Indeed.
Hopefully more pop from GA...scottnak - June 3, 2007
So...
is it asking to much for this team to take a few pitches today?edhoo - June 3, 2007
damn.
101halo - June 3, 2007
none of those were really
That bad of pitches. Just some good hitting there. 1-0 bal101halo - June 3, 2007
ERVIN: 5K in 3 IP
Doesn't sound like a 5th starter to me...Rev Halofan - June 3, 2007
Doesn't sound like a day game either
melvintoast - June 3, 2007
Hillendouche is having a good ab
melvintoast - June 3, 2007
They seem to be seeing the ball better.
Second time through the order I suspect we'll see more offense.He's already used more pitches this inning vs. first 2 innings combined.
melvintoast - June 3, 2007
SIT KATRINA
The dude just looks absolutely lost at the plate. His swing is terrible, and it's a wonder that he actually has managed 3 homeruns.SIT HIM
NPCody - June 3, 2007
Are you watching the game?
He had an 11 pitch ABmelvintoast - June 3, 2007
When someone has a long AB
it means they are smart and when the batter following the long AB gets a hit it means that guys is smart too.I studyd sabromatrics.
Rev Halofan - June 3, 2007
Yeah
But at any point in that at bat, did you expect anything more than a popup, groundout to the pitcher, strikeout, or bloop single? He is showing no ability to drive the ball.NPCody - June 3, 2007
Well he batting 268 in the last 7 days
with an HR 3RBI and two walks.melvintoast - June 3, 2007
but is he showing
REAL ability!?!?!?! LOLangelsrallymom - June 3, 2007

Anyone else thought it was funny seeing Molina lank over to 3rd on that Errrrrorrrscottnak - June 3, 2007
yeah
and he "lanked" right over home plate!!angelsrallymom - June 3, 2007
Funniest ever was Jose stealing off of Benji

Nice speed.

Love the chant!scottnak - June 3, 2007
That was a ball last inning.
melvintoast - June 3, 2007
Gameday had that as a 6 pitch walk
I hope Ervinis getting the same generously wide strikezone that Woody Guthrie was granted.Rev Halofan - June 3, 2007
This pitcher fields like the gambler.
melvintoast - June 3, 2007
Hit and run
And "Milk Toast" looks like he's trying to fly outPabloDirt - June 3, 2007
At least the second time he left the slider up
melvintoast - June 3, 2007
WTF!
NO. Why the hell is Oliver up?!scottnak - June 3, 2007

PabloDirt - June 3, 2007
I think we can say that after 5 1/2 innings
That benching OC and Kotch hasn't resulted in much offense.melvintoast - June 3, 2007

You Call TRIPLE A
'cept nobody is there!Rev Halofan - June 3, 2007
Howie
Maybe a trip to AAA would give him a kick in the rear? Aybar has shown that he can hold his own at this level...Rev Halofan - June 3, 2007
Howie to sl
its nice that the Angels have that luxury. Hatcher can only massage his ego so much. I agree, a little tough love may be in order. Competition is good and Kendrick's performance could improve if he knows he doesn't have season seats between 1st and 2nd basePabloDirt - June 3, 2007
This would make a good side diary
PabloDirt - June 3, 2007
is Kotchman hurt?
I can't think of one other reason to rest him today, since he gets rest against lefties anyways. Bunk!thewebb - June 3, 2007
CK: sore legs - day to day

When this offense is off
it's the most pathetic display on earth. A shitty single from Jose is all we have off some rookie piss-on.I'm furious.

don't tell this to
the Red Sox fans. They are looking tough.LosAngel - June 3, 2007
coincidentally
that was homerun number 350 and 1100 rbi for his career. bootcheck gets the win, whos rising as one of my favorite pitchers to watch.ANewFoundThrice - June 3, 2007
Bootcheck
His best was that curveball to strike out Sammy Sosa looking. Ever since then I've enjoyed watching him. I think it raised his confidence also.PabloDirt - June 3, 2007
Oh man. Still smiling about this game
So awesome. Thank you Scoscia for putting Kotchman in to allow that to be a walk-off instead of just tying it up.101halo - June 3, 2007
