Schmuck – Simulated action today for Uehara, and Hill
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/schmuck/2009/03/orioles_looking_for_answers.htmlSchmuck is right, today is an important day for both... though, I think with Uehara's long-term experience, it is likely he will know what he needs to accomplish to be ready for his...
Today’s Oriole game – Freel at SS, Hendrickson, and Penn
Kubatko with MASN has today's line-up, which you can find here: http://www.masnsports.com/index_blog_roch.html Freel is getting another start at SS... I know for the Spring, that Freel has at least 3 errors at SS... this is another audition, and will be a factor in...
Balt Sun – Bergesen sent to AAA
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/schmuck/2009/03/orioles_bergesen_cut.htmlI am fine with this decision... if this means that Pauley, and Penn will both make the O's Opening Day roster.
Balt Sun – Dan Connolly on Penn
http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/baseball/bal-sp.orioles21mar21,0,2565362.storyI am sure that Connolly is correct in his assertion that Penn is in danger of not making the team... but I completely disagree with the idea that there is any reason for Penn to actually...
Bergesen yesterday
6 innings of scoreless ball in a Minor League Spring Training game yesterday. Bergesen has had a strong Spring... I would have no problem with him going to AAA, and would want him to - if that meant the difference of losing a Penn, or Pauley to waivers..... but...
Uehara
As mentioned previously, I question Uehara's ability to go through the 2009 season as a starter, after spending 2007, and 2008 in the bullpen in Japan. I do not question Uehara's likelyhood of starting Game 2 of this season though. While he is a Major League 'rookie',...
Schmuck – Roster cuts coming
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/schmuck/2009/03/orioles_roster_cuts_coming.htmlWieters not among the likely cuts... so even though MacPhail apparently recently said Wieters is likely to start in AAA, the O's again appear to be leaving the door open for Wieters...
O’s vs Mets Friday, March 20th
Baez went 4.2 innings today, allowing 7hits, 4er, 1 walk, with 1 k. Baez continues to do nothing to justify bringing him north. With Sherrill, Ray, and Johnson in the bullpen, Baez does not have the option of going to the bullpen, and raising his value through some...
