Baltimore Orioles at Washington Nationals, May 22, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Next Game
Baltimore Orioles
@ Washington Nationals
Rich Hill vs Jordan Zimmermann
Friday, May 22, 2009, 7:05 PM EDT
Nationals Park
Partly cloudy. Game time temperature around 80.
?'s For The DC Faithful...
• How Glad Are You This Is In DC So There's No DH?
• The Nationals Would Be A Great AL Team, Right?
• Is There Really A DC/Baltimore Rivalry?
• Seriously? How Could You Like The DH?
LINKS:
No I Hadn't Heard That...
So I'm turning the pages of the most recent edition of ESPN the Magazine which arrived in the mail this morning and I come across of picture of the Face of the Franchise©, the Nationals' third baseman, your favorite and mine, future All-Star Ryan Zimmerman and I start reading thinking it will have some obscure fact about his hitting streak that I may have missed elsewhere, but it's entitled, "Not-So-Natty-Threads", (ed. note - "Oh great...") quoting:
"Things don't look to sharp in the district these days, and we're not just talking about the ball play..."
Now I'll just stop right there, you know what's coming...The article quickly recounts all the greatests hits: Hinckley's upside down "8", Dunn and Zimmerman's "O"-less Natinals jerseys, it's all great stuff, and the only new thing I learned was that Wil Ledezma had been give a jersey with a backwards "N" on the front...but I really enjoyed the last sentence of the article:
"The team's uni provider, Majestic, (ed. note - "Hey, who redacted that?"), apologized, but how will the Nots regain their dignity? Oh wait..."
Oh that's funny. ("Good one". - Ron Bennington) Keep laughing, MLB. The Nationals are getting Strasburg*. (ed. note - "To DC FO: You guys better sign him!!! I'm tired of taking this....")
INTERLEAGUE PLAY:
I Think Tonight's Orioles' Starter Is Laughing At The Nationals???
Rich Hill's first start of the season for the Orioles, since returning from a strained left elbow, saw him pick up only his second MLB win since 2007, as the 6'5'' former Chicago Cubs' starter earned the W with 5.2 IP against Kansas City in which he allowed 7 H, 2 ER and 2 walks on May 16th. In two career starts against the Nationals, the 29-year-old left-hander is (1-1) with 16 hits, 7 ER, 2 HR's and 2 BB allowed in 12.0 IP. Both of his starts against the Nationals were in 2007. Hill beat Washington in Chicago, holding the '07 Nationals to 1 run on 6 hits, but when Hill came to the Hill, in old RFK, the DC lineup lit him up, with Ryan Zimmerman, DY, and Ronnie Belliard helping Matt Chico beat Hill and the Cubs 6-0.
Nationals vs Hill...
Ronnie Belliard - 1 for 9, .111 AVG, 1 2B
Adam Dunn - 2 for 16, .125 AVG, 1 RBI, 6 K's.
Austin Kearns - 2 for 8, .250 AVG.
Ryan Zimmerman - 4 for 5, .800 AVG, 1 HR, 1 RBI.
Jordan Zimmermann makes his first foray into Interleague play tonight. He's obviously never faced the Orioles. At home, Zimmermann's (1-1) in 3 starts, with no noticeable difference in #'s from his road starts. After winning his first two starts including his debut against Atlanta and a Sunday start in front of 40,000+ in Citi Field, Zimmermann's winless in his last four, over which he's allowed 28 hits and 21 runs in 22.2 IP.
DC Starting Lineup...
- The Guzzzz - SS
- Nick "Two-Spot" Johnson - 1B
- THE KIDS CALL HIM ZIM!! - 3B
- The Big Single - RF
- The Hammer - LF
- Ronnie B. - 2B
- The Bard - C
- J-Max - CF
- Zim(n) - SP
* = STRASBURG FILES...
MLB.com's Bill Ladson wrote yesterday, in an article entitled, "Nats to investigate Strasburg's Injury", that the Nationals:
"...are planning to check the medical records of San Diego State right-hander Stephen Strasburg to make sure his back injury is not serious."
• MLB.com's Bill Ladson's article has a video from the game, watch for yourself.
Simmons posted a FANSHOT here the other day entitled, "Strasburg Taken Out Early/Post Game Sound", and for anyone who didn't scream when they saw the title and hurriedly read on and start their own independent investigations (ed. note - "What? I was concerned..."), since then a number of stories have come out which have said that Strasburg just had a cramp in his back and as Washington Post writer Chico Harlan's Nationals Journal post entitled, "Strasburg's injury not serious", quotes "SDSU sports information officer Dave Kuhne" explaining:
"He had a little back cramp," Kuhn said. "Just a cramp in his back. On the lower side. He's walking around now, he's fine. He just needed some Gatorade."
Federal Baseball.com's Official Opinion:
(ed. note - "Just a cynical attempt to get a Gatorade endorsement deal for Strasburg.")
Or, as Federal Baseball.com regular Mezza wrote in the Comments section of simmons' FANPOST:
"Apparently just back cramp - he needed Gatorade...All is well with the saviour."
O's Invade NatsTown©!! Note To O's Fans: "We Don't Scream 'O' During The Anthem Here, Show Some Respect!"
The first game between the new Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles took place on Friday May 19, 2006 in RFK Stadium, as the geographical rivals renewed a feud that had been dormant since the previous Washington team left for Texas over 30 years earlier. The Nationals dropped the first game of that series, but took the next two. Later that season in Baltimore, the Orioles took two of three at home in Camden Yards.
In 2007, the Orioles took 2 more from DC in RFK in a 3-game series, but dropped all three in "Wire" country, and last year the Orioles took 2 of 3 during their first visit to Nationals Park from May 16-19th, while the Nationals took 2 of 3 up in Angelos' park in late June. So heading into today's game, the Washington Nationals hold a 10-8 lead over the Orioles since baseball returned to the nation's capital.
• One of Federal Baseball.com's frequent contributors, and the world's greatest source for Nationals-related links (just check the comments everyday, if it's out there he'll find it), ROSCOEtheNATSfan, posted his, "Preview: Battle of the Beltways" in the comments section of yesterday's game report, and since I liked it, I thought I'd feature it here...
ROSCOE: "I've seen both teams play, obviously more Nats but plenty of O's..."
And, by position, the edge goes to:
Pitching – toss-up
Catching – toss-up (Us, Nieves and Bard – Them veteran Greg Zaun who’s been throwing out a lot of base stealers)
1B – NATS (Roscoe Note - "Forgot about Huff's bat at 1B, that could make a difference.")
2B – Orioles
3B – Nats, though Mora is no slouch
SS – Nats – Guzi’s bat gives him the edge
LF – (assuming Dunn) O’s have a better fielder but he’s a rookie. Tough pick.
CF – If Adam Jones is out there, 100% O’s
RF – O’s
Bullpen – since nobody’s worse, the edge has to go to the O’s. But we have Pro Villone and they don’t.- Orioles are a better built team but the evil empire just beat them down, and we’re hitting our stride.
- Nats are 3.5 games behind the Orioles according to their records. We avoid their best and worst starters and get the middle three.
Admiral Roscoe, your conclusions.
Well, sir,
the data support no conclusions as yet.
The absence of activity in the Pacific
suggests this could be just an exercise.
(ed. note - "Thanks, Roscoe.")

I hope Dunn is in LF tonight, because Mrs. Doghouse got tickets in the LF boxes for tonight’s game. Big Donkey can use some coaching, Doghouse-style! If you have any particular advice that needs to be drunkenly yelled in his direction, post it here before game time.

Ed I don't know how to respond to O's vs Nats info...I don't want to jinx the game...
My one and only prayer for tonight is that there isn’t a big OOOOO in the National Anthem. I know that’s wishful thinking but hey one can only dream.
I have a dream that all Nationals baseball games would have a cleanly sung National Anthem. Free of extra OOOO or a roar of REDs. Sung by individuals that can actually sing. (another pet peeve) I have …

If I'm not mistaken, they got Chris Tillman in that deal as well
Haven’t seen him up in Baltimore yet, but he’ll be up before the end of the year. While Sherrill was a nice short-term addition for the Orioles in that deal, Tillman figures to at least become a middle of the rotation guy.

In truth, it's not that he hasn't been effective
It’s that he can’t stay healthy. Bedard had a 3.67 ERA, a 1.32 WHIP, and 72 K in 81 innings when he was healthy last season. He’s been better than that this season, with a 2.64 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and 49 K in 47 innings this year. He’s been plenty effective when he’s pitched, but he missed an awful lot of time last season. The bigger problem for the Mariners in that deal was that they simply didn’t recognize how much they overperformed the year before. They thought they were a front-line starter away from winning the West. Even though he missed just over half his expected starts, they lost 100 games last year, and they’d be the ones talking about Strasburg if they hadn’t swept their final series of the year.

He has no choice
He’s a little too hefty to handle the position (I think that’s the best way to say it). I remember when he was in St. Louis the year the Cards won the Series. Someone was holding up a sign saying “We Want Bellies Bombers”. I don’t think many of the people were expecting to hit a home run… we were all thinking of White Castle at the party I was at.

In other words, if he's not playing uber-deep
He just doesn’t have the speed to bring much range to the position because of that gut.

Well.........
It’s a full keeper league where I took over an expansion team that… well… let’s just say that I have a lot of work in front of me to build for the future. The majority of my bench consists of strong high minors prospects. Plus…. I can’t just sit two of my top three bats (Jones/Huff). As much as I’d like to go the opposite direction and hope for total domination, I was kind of hoping for a high-scoring Nats win tonight. Again, full keeper league (20 teamer) with a weak player pool to choose from. I have Martis and Detwiler going to close out the week in the next two days, so I can’t pull for those high scoring games from Jones/Huff/Mora in shootouts that the Nats win the next two games.

Well.... was an Isles fan first
Growing up on LI during the four cups in a row, how could you not be? Then the Devils moved to Jersey and my dad took me to the first home game they ever played. Endured a lot of rough years, but had some good ones, too. And yes… the team you learn to hate as an Isles fan is the Rangers…. the teams you learn to hate as a Devils fan are the Rangers and Flyers….. so there’s the combo effect.

Extra inning game where the bats have generally been silent
You have a converted starter pitching out of the bullpen, and you have to question the availability of Tavarez (1.2 innings yesterday) & Hanny (pitched two straight days, or is it three?). Made sense to let Bergmann stay in to start the inning there, particularly considering the bottom of the order was coming up.
