BALTIMORE - Three hours before the first pitch Friday night, long before the collapse of their best player, has discovered new depths, Manager Davey Johnson, shuffling along the tunnel and the third base dugout of the Orioles to Park at Camden Yards, dressed in the uniform of Washington DC.
"The view is different on this side, eh?" Johnson slurred. He smiled. He was a visitor in a place he loves, an opponent of the team that remains, even after all that has happened. "All my memories of Baltimore and baseball are good memories," said Johnson.
In the first game at Camden Yards Johnson 15 years, the citizens gave him a tight game to remember, but the result of forgetting. The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Nationals, 2-1, before a crowd sold, 45,891 souls, animated by the sudden rise of two franchises previously painful.
The piece is more alarming for citizens of Zimmerman. He worked to get a rare strike, prolonged illness, caused by inflammation in his right shoulder. The teammates and coaches insist on a good run soon consumed the cold weather, but when it is growing worse. Zimmerman has five hits in his last 46 blocks, with nine strikeouts and no Extrabases.
"Nobody wants to do better than me. What I do best," said Zimmerman. "I want out of this. I want to do more to help the team. But until that happens, I have yet to help children and young people playing good defense. Pots or I can not worry about me. I just go to and give back. "
Later, Johnson said that Zimmerman was "safe" is healthy. Zimmerman admitted he had considered moving into the lineup, but "I like where it is. I know I can do. He does not have to prove anything. I still like the odds every time inside. "
Orioles pitcher Jason Hammel cut right through the alignment of National, getting 5 hits and no runs in eight innings clean, while deleting 10 and with only 96 shots. Ryan Zimmerman has a 0 to 4, another sad night for the rotation of the star player in Washington.
And the right pitcher Jordan Zimmermann had seven innings without his best repertoire, allowing two runs and eight hits, having lost support because of race, generally poor.
Johnson Angelos is not spoken in years. But Johnson did not allow any lingering antipathy toward Angelos to infect their vision of the city or the team.
"Managers are hired to be fired," he said. "Every time I was here, were the fun time for me. I really enjoy playing here, learn the game of baseball here. It's been fun and return management of the cities I played in."
hreatening time delay the game for 1 hour 1 minute, warm and humid conditions and made a fight for Zimmermann. The ground through another hard luck defeat, dropping to 3-6 in his foja its average effectiveness moved to 2.89.
His slider, he said, was "terrible." The mound of earth attached to their studs. A rola hard pierced arch of right foot. I, however, allowed only two runs, a homer from Mark Reynolds in the second and a double in the fifth producer of Hardy.
"It seemed that every entry had to drive in runners," said Zimmermann. "I had to fight tonight."
The first two Hardy, Desmond had removed the top of the fifth inning with a single bounce to half. Before the game, Johnson said he voted for Desmond to his All-Star.
These are not numbers that do Desmond a strong contender. And 'the general panache of his game - his defense, his leadership and his chaos.
With a head and Desmond have to first base, he knew a roletazo Bernadino on the left side. The third baseman Wilson Betemit went two steps to his left and fired to first.
Desmond had gone to the second, and when he saw the persistence of shortstop Betemit has bolted.
"We had a lot going on there offensive," said Desmond. "So I tried to put a little pressure" on them. "
