Baltimore Orioles 2015

[Moderator 3]

Welcome to Baltimore.

I was there tonight. We gave him a warm welcome and he responded. This could work out.

Good first night for Parra.  I still hope we eventually drop Machado in the lineup considering he keeps hitting bombs.  It'd be nice to have a guy on when he does it.

But he's doing so well leading off. He "slumped" when we dropped him to 3rd.

I'd drop him to the 2 hole and let Parra lead off.  He's got a high OBP.  Manny can bring him in.

[Gordo52]

Manny would be a perfect #2 hitter

[codizzle]

manny jones Davis Matt at the 2-5 could be pretty good

Just need extra base hits from manny/jones so we aren't living off HR

[Pats]

I didn't like the trade for Tulowitzki because Toronto had the best run differential in the league, but I did like the trade for Price for them

He is a rental though, and goes missing in the playoffs if they even get there. Their BP is still blowing games like they did today as well

Yeah, their BP is Detroit quality. I  also just don't get the need for Tulowitzki. Offense isn't their problem.

[Cville-Raven]

Ubaldo is still bad

[cobrajet]

Detroit took batting practice off our starting pitching in this series, although they are right behind Toronto and Yanks in most runs scored.

I think JD Martinez likes playing us.

[cobrajet]

Agreed, if we don't make a wild card it will probably be because of our starting pitching.

Not off Gausmann, at least.

Yeah and they traded even more to get ben revere, again offense not needed. They wont make the playoffs and next year they wont have any future prospect depth

Don't care about his streakiness, we seriously better lock him up. He's so under appreciated its crazy.

[Cville-Raven]

I would have to agree especially when you consider his age. The sheer amount of offense/scoring that he can generate on his own at times is insane. He's beasting right now.

[Cville-Raven]

Still early to judge Givens but he just looks good every time I've seen him.

[Cville-Raven]

Chris Davis destroyed that

Just give the man the money now

[Moderator 3]

Nothing like a Grand Slam in the 10th for excitement.

[Gordo52]

He gone

[cobrajet]

Congrats on your new power washer sales business cause you got 55 more to buy now

[bpytnjr58]

Will be at the Big A Saturday night on the first base side.

[Gordo52]

Wow, sent down Givens for Garcia

Bad move. How TH is Snider still here???

[rmw10]

Yeah, Duquette!  You waste that money!

The Orioles have recalled OF Junior Lake from Triple-A Norfolk and designated OF Travis Snider for assignment.

[Gordo52]

The Orioles are a better team today.

[rmw10]

The Orioles are a better team today.

It's sad when a subtraction of players is an improvement.

[Gordo52]

Yup. Now I hope they call Givens back up pronto

Big series starts tonight... Hoping Gausman gives us at least 7 vs them again
