Vote for Guthrie for Roberto Clemente Award

Jeremy Guthrie has been nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award, which recognizes Major League Baseball players that exemplify the sterling reputation of Roberto Clemente: on-the-field prowess and off-the-field service to the community. Jeremy spends a lot of his time and energy thinking about other people and how he can help them (e.g. Helping Up Mission).

A Tough Loss to the Yankees

Trouble came in the second and in the end Guthrie gave us 6 runs in a loss to the Yankees on April 28:


A rebound is on the way...

Another Quality Start

Guthrie pitched another quality start on April 24 against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park, but the Orioles dropped one to the Red Sox 4-3.


Here's a quote from Guthrie in the article:

"When things are going well, everything seems to go your way; and when things are not going well, it seems like they are going, snowball effect, against you," starter Jeremy Guthrie said. "It can be reversed."

Orioles Lose Despite Guthrie's Strong Start

They did it again. Jeremy Guthrie delivered a stellar start for Baltimore, and just like they've done so many times (think 2008) the team couldn't pull through in the end. Guthrie has now had quality starts in all three of his games this season, and hasn't given up a run in the first inning (see comments in the article below). Here's a recap from today's game:

Another Strong Start, but It Wasn't Enough

Another quality start by Guthrie, but the opposing pitcher allowed even less. See this article on MLB.com:


BALTIMORE -- For the second successive outing, Jeremy Guthrie gutted out a quality start for the Orioles. But Baltimore's bats continued their early-season slumber, falling to 9-for-57 with runners in scoring position in Monday's series-opening 5-1 loss to the Rays.

Guthrie hunkered down after allowing a solo homer in the third inning, retiring the next eight batters before running into a snag with one out in the sixth.

The right-hander yielded a one-out double to Carl Crawford, and Ben Zobrist's RBI triple just eluded the glove of a diving Adam Jones in shallow center field. Evan Longoria's sacrifice fly produced another Rays run, and an infield single on a soft grounder to shortstop Cesar Izturis warranted a short mound meeting for Guthrie.

Guthrie sent B.J. Upton down on strikes to minimize the damage and retired the Rays' bottom three batters in the seventh. It was an emphatic finishing statement after a strong outing from Guthrie, who allowed three earned runs on eight hits scattered over seven innings.

As good as Guthrie was, Rays starter Matt Garza was better -- again. With the leadoff spot vacated by Brian Roberts, who was placed on the disabled list with an abdominal muscle strain prior to the game, Felix Pie was penciled in at the top of the lineup. It didn't take long for the outfielder to adjust, sending a 1-0 pitch from Garza over the right-center-field fence for his first career leadoff homer.

The Orioles posted a pair of singles to open the second inning, but didn't record another hit until pinch-hitter Ty Wigginton's bloop single with two outs in the seventh. That effort went for naught when Wigginton was caught trying to advance on Garza's second pitch to Nolan Reimold, which squirted past catcher Dioner Navarro. Navarro recovered and threw the ball to Brignac to start an unusual 2-4-3-6 inning-ending putout.

Starting the Season

While the Orioles lost Guthrie's first start, Guthrie's performance had sure signs of a solid season. See the article here:
