You’re All Wet

jerk

My great uncle Georgie once came in the bathroom when my cousin Donny was taking a bath. George pointed at Donny and said, “You’re all wet!” He said in an accusing tone that made Donny cry. Donny was too young to realize it was meant as a joke.

What this has to do with tonight’s game I don’t know. Maybe I just like that story. Or maybe I just like this picture of Steve Martin from The Jerk.

Regardless, it’s Eovaldi, Take Deuce in Baltimore.

Jacoby Ellsbury CF

Chase Headley 3B

Carlos Beltran RF

Ah, it's honor Mariano Rivera Day.

2 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:11 pm

Hi all.

Predicting a good night with a good performance from Didi

3 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:16 pm

Eovaldi physically looks way too much like Carl Pavano for my taste

4 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:19 pm

[1] ...and Jerry Coleman.

5 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:20 pm

[3] Exactly

6 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:25 pm

This isn't going well

7 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:26 pm

No shift for Davis?

8 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:28 pm

Punch 'em out!

9 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:29 pm

Eo's problem = he gives up too many hits. It gives me agida.

10 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:34 pm

Big zone tonight

11 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:37 pm

I hate called 2nd strikes

12 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:51 pm

...and called 3rd strikes! Swing the damn bat

13 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:51 pm

That's it, rbj, first pitch swinging!

14 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:55 pm

Oh, Carlos. Get out of your slump now

15 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:55 pm

YES! He listened!

16 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:56 pm

Carlos Belt & ran a nice two run double!

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:56 pm

Damn! An inch!

18 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 15, 2015 6:58 pm

Bout time for Beltran!
Why do O's fans still boo Teix? Lame..

19 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:05 pm

Are you fucking kidding me, Did! FFS!

20 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:09 pm

[19] it's one a day for Didi

21 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:10 pm

Suggestion for Didi: break in the glove!!

22 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:13 pm

That'll do.

23 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:14 pm

Kaboom!

24 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:16 pm

Nice shot, Alex.

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:21 pm

Don't throw hanging meatballs to Machado.

26 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:24 pm

That was a pretty lousy bunt

27 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:26 pm

[26] I can hear Scooter ranting right now about bad bunting.

28 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:29 pm

Looked fair live, but was clearly foul.

29 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:31 pm

You know, Nate, there may be more to pitching than just throwing the ball as hard as you can.

30 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:32 pm

THROW THAT AGAIN

31 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:34 pm

Phew!

32 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:35 pm

[29] Will never not be amazed at how MLB hitters can sqaure up on 99mph if it's dead straight. One time I saw only a 90mph pitching machine it was just an instant blur right by me.

33 coleman42   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:37 pm

Dodged a bullet there with Adam Jones. He's given up 7 hits in 4 innings, though.

34 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:37 pm

Yay Didi!

35 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:40 pm

That bat flip may have been premature

36 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:43 pm

From bat flip to K. (Came in late to the game--was listening on the way home--man, that was a shot by Alex, huh?)

37 RIYank   ~  Apr 15, 2015 7:59 pm

Huh, Eo seems to be improving as the game goes on.

38 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:01 pm

And now this walk. His body and motion reminds me of Pavano.

39 RIYank   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:02 pm

Seriously, is Girardi really going to lower the team's chances of winning so that Eovaldi can have a shot at getting a W?

I hope not. That is just stupid.

40 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:03 pm

97 to 73. That's pretty damn nasty.

41 RIYank   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:04 pm

Oh fer gods sake.

42 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:04 pm

Hmm, not liking this.

43 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:04 pm

Damn Chase...

44 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:05 pm

Catching the ball just isn't their strong suit.

45 RIYank   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:06 pm

Wasn't the infield defense supposed to be a lot better this year? It has truly sucked so far.

46 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:06 pm

Sweet!

47 RIYank   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:06 pm

Okay, good work Eo.

48 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:07 pm

Nicely done.

49 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:10 pm

Eovaldi just allows a shit ton of hits. I'm not sure how often you'll luck into having David Lough come up in a big spot.

50 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:11 pm

Even the ball girl is having the yips

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:12 pm

I watched zero spring training games but I read at least a half a dozen articles praising the improved defense. The poor defense has been a huge disappoirdisappointment.

52 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:14 pm

[51] If they hit well you can kinda smile.

If this remains a "run prevention" team that can't catch the ball, that's a disaster.

53 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:16 pm

Let's go bullpen!

54 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:19 pm

Sorry about my massive spelling fail. Poor phone skills.

55 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:22 pm

I typed too soon.

56 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:22 pm

[54] I chalk it up to the defense.

57 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:27 pm

Yeah, Justin Wilson is going to be that guy this year

58 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:29 pm

Aw fuck!

59 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:29 pm

Well this is a train wreck.

60 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:31 pm

Justin Wilson to Chris Martin..feel the tooptimism..

61 rbj   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:38 pm

Yuck.

Night all, tapping out early.

62 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:39 pm

I think it just goes to show, no matter how relatively good you may think they are, its probably for the best if you only have to use your mediocre middle relief sparingly.

63 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:45 pm

Oh, for christ sakes, who the hell is this now?

64 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:56 pm

This game feels like it's gonna come up just short, don't it?

65 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 8:59 pm

[65] There's still time to figure out a way to get Gregorio Petit in the game.

66 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 9:13 pm

Oh, Christ, he's on deck.

67 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 9:19 pm

Its time to DFA Petit. Joe won't stop using him. You need to remove him from the equation.

68 MSM35   ~  Apr 15, 2015 9:24 pm

They give an effort but let's face it, they are not very good.

69 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 15, 2015 9:29 pm

[68] Run prevention baseball baby!

I guess it doesn't take into account that you're starter might throw seven hundred pitches through five and you have to rely on a gaggle of so so middle relievers

70 MSM35   ~  Apr 15, 2015 9:46 pm

[68] Teams that talk about run prevention are the ones that can't score any.

71 edoubletrouble   ~  Apr 16, 2015 8:06 pm

great Georgie / Donny story - thanks Al
