I'm going to go out on a limb and call a big O's victory today. That's almost our starting lineup going against the Nats! Also, a Wieters homer. Pete, do you think Hill will be able to join the starting rotation in the first couple weeks of the season?

Pete's reply: I think that's the plan, but it's really up to him. He needs to show the coaching staff that he won't let anything keep him off the mound.

Little off topic, but after yesterday's performance, doesn't Scott Moore's resume get him a spot on this roster. He can really hit.

Pete's reply: With an 11-man pitching staff, yes, but not with a 12-man or 13-man staff, and that the direction the O's are going.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
