If this line is just going to stay where it is I guess I will play it now.. Maybe I am biased in the fact that I hate the Orioles, this goes beyond last night or any other time they fuked me this yr... I hate their fans (have 3 friends who are Oriole fans), I hate how they think Jeffrey Mayer robbed them back in like 96', I hate their bullpen, I hate their Yag ass owner and I hate their colors. Orange? Color sucks
Forget Wins and Losses, just look at the Numbers:
Bedard this yr: 4.28era, 10g, 61ip, 54h, 29r, 29er, 23bb, 75k
Haren this yr: 1.74era, 10g, 67.1ip, 47h, 19r, 13er, 16bb, 54k
We are talking 6more innings pitched, 7 less hits, 16less earned runs, 7 less walks. If Bedard had thrown another 6innings these numbers would be even more skewed to Haren. The only and I mean the only thing Bedard does better is strike out more batters and that is not even a plus, it most likely means he works deeper into counts and goes shorter into the game and the bullpen then has to pitch more.
Bedard at Home: 3.04era, 4g, 23.2ip, 18h, 29k, 11bb, .209 batting average and .235 overall
Haren on the Road: 1.64era, 5g, 33ip, 25h, 25k, 6bb, .207 batting average and .191 overall
Orioles should not even bother throwing a LH batter up at the plate today, they have no shot, literally. Bedard however has trouble with RH batters in the fact that they are the reasons his era is above 4.
Haren is on a whole different level then Bedard.
You want to talk bullpens, forget it, I will take Oaklands hurt bullpen with KIKO CALERO closing games before one of those shitheads on the Orioles team.
Haren will dominate the O's like he did previously this yr. I am thinking 8innings or maybe complete game from Haren. A's own the Orioles historically. A's have a better manager, are a better team, have the better starting pitcher, play equal on the road as the Orioles do at home, and the game is a PK..
