AL East Saber-Friendly Live Chat: Thursday At 2pm EDT

Update: Yes, this starts in 40 minutes.  I'm a bit worried that Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Orioles fans will be under-represented, so if you have ways of fixing that, it would be much appreciated.  Oh, and Heath from Dempsey's Army will be joining us as the Orioles' panelist.

Someone mentioned the AL East has a few teams that are suppose to be good and are talked about a lot on ESPN or something, so I guess we'll do a chat for this division, too.  It's Thursday at 2pm EDT -- hey, if you're not going to work because of the basketball games, you might as well really not work.

Our confirmed panelists include:

Show up five minutes early to get your quetsions at the top of the queue.  Chat window after the jump -- you can enter your email address for a pre-chat reminder.

Hmmm

I notice a certain lack of representation for one of the up-and-coming teams in the division. The standard answer is “Nick Markakis is awesome and yes, we’re waiting for some pitching.”

I thought it was just

Wieters, Wieters, Wieters, Markakis, Wieters

I'm going to ask about the Orioles 2009 rotation... just see what happens.

should be a good test to see how many educated non-Orioles fans can name 5 starting pitchers on the Orioles roster.

I can't.

From theinsidepitch.com:

1SP Jeremy Guthrie
2SP Koji Uehara
3SP Adam Eaton
4SP Danys Baez
5SP Brian Bass

How’s that?

1-2 are clearly correct.

3 is probably correct too.

Danys Baez will get you slaughtered in any Orioles fan group. The man can’t pitch and hasn’t started since 2002.

Brian Bass is probably not going to happen either.

My guess is
Jeremy Guthrie
Koji Uehara
Adam Eaton
Brad Bergesen
Rich Hill

but that’s predicated on Hill being healthy. Baez is probably a better bet than I want to admit, but the problem is he’s terrible.

I love Rich Hill

well that's good

so tomorrow you should be able to name 2 Orioles starters :-)

by math_geek on Mar 19, 2009 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Baez is a probably not... It looks like Penn will probably get one ofn t the three rotation spots

I’ve also heard Rich Hill getting the spot that Bass Won’t get…

I’ve heard mostly Eaton rumors at the 3 spot, but you never really know

Yup.
hey, if you’re not going to work because of the basketball games, you might as well really not work.

What’s better than talking baseball and watching basketball?

That's true.

Ugh my Friday deadlines at work are going to be hell this week.

Baiting RJ and basketball. How will I get any work done?

My old firm

Used to play the games in a conference room, so people could cycle in and out during the day and watch for a few minutes during the break. Of course, during the current downturn, people would probably just spend the whole day in the conference room.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

Normandin made a Pokemon reference

and not from the original 151

by Sam Page on Mar 19, 2009 10:14 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

That's because...

…Normandin is a video game editor at a gaming website in his “spare” time :-)
