Dontrelle Willis (1-1, 3.57) vs. 
Brad Bergesen (1-2, 5.49), 7:05 p.m. EST
So maybe you've heard that the sport of baseball as we know it could be changing tonight, as the waters of Baltimore's Inner Harbor part for catcher Matt Wieters, who has risen from Norfolk to save the Orioles (and take away Rick Porcello's Rookie of the Year award). I don't know about you, but I'll be wearing a tuxedo during tonight's game, as I was always told that one should dress up for special occasions.
Was that a bit much? I can never tell. But even if it was, it's tame compared to so much of the gushing that's pervaded the baseball media and blogosphere over the past week. For instance, Roch Kubatko could barely contain his glee this morning over breakfast, trying to figure out where Wieters might bat in the O's lineup. (He'll bat seventh, as it turns out.)
Now that I think about it, I probably could've boosted the page views at BYB this week if I'd mentioned Wieters every day, leading up to his debut. Perhaps I could've posted a Matt Wieters Fact each morning. (Here's one I posted at Big League Stew: I hear that Ray Lewis will carry Matt Wieters' luggage to Camden Yards tonight. And Lewis will give him a tip for the honor.)
Brad Bergesen is winless in his last six starts for the Orioles, and he's allowed four runs in each of his previous three appearances. On the other hand, his pitches will be caught by Matt Wieters tonight. Just follow the sign, and throw to the glove. Wieters will take care of the rest, as he can control time, air, and space around him.
Who gets the honor of pitching to Wieters first? Well, if he can do so without having to look directly at Wieters, for fear of being blinded or seeing directly into the future, that will be Dontrelle Willis. The D-Train wasn't as impressive in his third start as his second, giving up three runs and seven hits in 6.2 innings. But he gave the Tigers a chance to win, which is really all that can be asked for. And had the lineup scored some runs for him, he likely would've been victorious.
Perhaps the best thing about Willis starting for Detroit, however, is that his left-handedness might have kept Luke Scott out of the lineup. But even the O's aren't crazy enough to sit him right now. Here are your starters:

for who? Dice-K?
he doesn’t seem to be the pitcher he used to be

Then thats very good news for us.
But Tigers haven’t announced who’s pitching Tuesday. If I am following rotation right, it should be Porcello. Yes?

Boston series next week
I’m really looking forward to facing Boston, we need to pick off a few games from a team that isn’t either below .500 or on a terrible death spiral.
O's have a ton of bats
if they had any pitching they’d really mess things up out East
I dunno
they still have scored the fewest runs in the east
by Kurt Mensching on May 29, 2009 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Agreed
But more in the “theoretical” mold, you could put a very potent lineup together based on the talent/potential of Jones/Roberts/Markakis/Wieters…One really big RBI guy in that mix would/could be frightening in the next few years
by SkylineSeats on May 29, 2009 7:36 PM EDT up reply actions
Roberts/Jones/Markakis/Huff/Wieters are sure things, and from there you have strong players in Mora/Scott/Reimold; unfortunately we’ve battled some injuries and have yet to call up other guys, but otherwise our lineup is fairly potent.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

you can't guarantee he turns a DP
maybe the runner wipes out Everett/Polanco at second, maybe the runner beats the throw to first. Either way, the run scores from third and the inning goes on

given how the tigers hit against guys with a high ERA, you’re right.
Dice-K will look like Cy Young against the Tigers.
That's how we used to hit.

they gotta pull Dontrelle right?
he just doesn’t have it.
then again at this point, may as well let him eat innings right?

I would agree with you on that
but I also want to be a fifth starter for the Tigers, but my lack of control and 60mph fastball would disagree.
Willis has had a long time, by any measure, to figure things out. At what point do we recognize that he has only been given this chance because Dombrowski is paying him a lot of money?

With that said, at this point WHY DO YOU NOT IBB LUKE @#$%&! SCOTT???? I mean, does it really take a genious to figure this out? I can see if we have our ace on the mound and the bases are loaded or something but it’s just not worth it anymore to keep dealing homers. /end rant
Not that I don't disagree
But the bases were loaded in his first at-bat.

I wonder if
You can make a trade during the game that could be taken into effect mid-game?
Like say, Marcus Thames and (insert middle reliever here) for Luke Scott.

I missed the first 6 innings....
And jokingly asked my dad “what, did Scott hit two more home runs?”
He laughed, I didn’t.
How to pitch to Luke Scott
Throw it at the bull 4 times and count your blessings
I wrote last month that I think Reimold will be a better hitter than Wieters....
his people have been watching my house ever since
He'll probably be a bigger slugger
But Matt will have more complete numbers.

Why ARE the bats in a funk?
I’m not good at stuff like reading swings, so I’m kinda curious to know if anyone else knows where they went wrong in their approach. Are they swinging at bad pitches, being too patient/aggressive, or what?

Hitting.....
….really in my mind is all in your head…..i think right now they are thinking way to much when they get to the plate…..Now the last 2 nights they were facing a guy theyve never seen and that is difficult…..But once you see him for the 3rd time you should have him down….As a whole there approach is that they are all trying to do to much…..They just need to relax and have fun at the plate.
