Daniel Cabrera will serve his 6 day suspension for plunking Alex Rodriguez, making the Orioles rotation even a little more fun that it was yesterday. We mentioned this before.
Roch Kubatko is reporting that the Orioles will Chris Waters tomorrow, Brian Burres Sunday, and Radhamez Liz Monday.
I can’t wait.
In other news, the Red Sox placed on the 15 day DL with a strained right elbow.

So you’re welcome.
A serious lack of pitching

Thank the baseball Gods that Orioles’ ace Jeremy Guthrie pitches tonight. He is really the tiny speck of glue holding this rotation together at this point and when the O’s go up against Scott Kazmir we’d all like to see Guthrie take the hill.
After his last start, Orioles manager Dave Trembley dicussed the idea of allowing Guthrie to get another day of rest, implying that he might go to a six man rotation. I guess that was before Daniel Cabrera took the hill and barely hit 90-91 MPH on his fast ball.
Doctors gave Cabrera an MRI and they don’t know what’s wrong with him. But losing another starter doesn’t help Guthrie’s chances of another day’s rest.
Do you realize at this point that Guthrie and Cabrera are the only remaining starters from Trembley’s original rotation on opening day?
I suppose September call ups cannot come soon enough. Hopefully Bowie’s Brad Bergesen gets a look, perhaps David Hernandez too…oh and lets not rule out Hayden Penn at Norfolk, barring that there are no freak lightning storms in the area that could hold him back from being called up this time.
How should the Birds finish?

Dead arms for the birds?

It seems like a few of the consistents for the Orioles have struggled in their last couple appearances.
The Orioles starters have allowed 23 runs in their past 5 starts, averaging just 5.1 innings pitched.
Daniel Cabrera, who was noted for his turn around at the beginning of the 2008 season has been responsible for 4 of those runs in 5 innings of work. His previous start was similar, 6 innings pitched and 6 earned runs. D-Cab has a 9.81 era in his past two starts.
