Give it up for the man the myth the legend. In an another abysmal season he is turning it on! You got to love this guy. For all his defensive deficiencies he is a must watch at bat. He is the reason for me to watch the O's right now.

I just wish it wasn't in the 7th and 8th spots in the order.

I'm guessing that by the ASB Buck will abandon his hopes that Lee, Scott or Wieters will turn on the power and, about two weeks too late, move Reynolds up in the lineup. It'd be cool if we cd also move Hardy down and find someone else to lead off.

Agreed. I would like to see Gurerro moved down, Reynolds to 4th, Jones at 3rd, Hardy or Markakis leading off, Luke traded and Reimold and Pie platooned in left. If trades are possible please make them. Blow this team up. They can not win with the players we have. Weiters, Jones, Reynolds, Markakis and Arrieta can stay the rest can go. Blow it up.

What wd be really cool is if Buck does this ahead of the schedule everyone is expecting. Buck's biggest move of the year so far cd be, starting from tomorrow, to shake up the lineup regardless of where the players rank in terms of salary and veteranosity--to refocus on winning.

230 or not the guy needs to be batting 4th. I feel more confident that he will deliver rather than Vlad, Scott, Lee, ect ect. When the guy connects, he connects. Big time damage esp if there are runners on base. Plus we don't have to worry much about DP balls. He'll just strike out and give the next guy a chance to pick him up.

He wouldnt be hitting 7th or 8th if he could get his average to a respectable number. .230 is just sad and he had to be really hot to get it up to .230.

If you think his BA is important then you haven't been paying attention on here to what actually matters. His OBP is over .350.

    • If you "reconstruct the inning without the errors" that means you replay the inning without the ghost runner.   So on that ground ball that got the runner at the plate, you now assume Langeliers would have been thrown out at first.
    • So I looked up the rule book and I can't find anything that says this is the case. Maybe I'm missing it because the rules for unearned runs can be convuluted to say the least. "For purposes of calculating earned runs under Rule 9.16, the runner who begins an inning on second base pursuant to this rule shall be deemed to be a runner who has reached second base because of a fielding error, but no error shall be charged to the opposing team or to any player. For purposes of Rule 9.02, the Official Scorer shall keep records of the number of times each batter and runner is placed at second base in accordance with this rule." In the rulebook under unearned runs it states, "An earned run is a run for which a pitcher is held accountable. In determining earned runs, the Official Scorer shall reconstruct the inning without the errors (which exclude catcher’s interference) and passed balls, giving the benefit of the doubt always to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached by runners had there been errorless play. For the purpose of determining earned runs, an intentional base on balls, regardless of the circumstances, shall be construed in exactly the same manner as any other base on balls. (a)  The Official Scorer shall charge an earned run against a pitcher every time a runner reaches home base by the aid of safe hits, sacrifice bunts, a sacrifice fly, stolen bases, putouts, fielder’s choices, bases on balls, hit batters, balks or wild pitches (including a wild pitch on third strike that permits a batter to reach first base) before fielding chances have been offered to put out the offensive team. For the purpose of this rule, a defensive interference penalty shall be construed as a fielding chance. A wild pitch is solely the pitcher’s fault and shall contribute to an earned run just as a base on balls or a balk." I don't see where it states a batter that reaches on a fielder's choice due to a runner being being on due to error.   
    • Joe Posnanski wrote a wonderful book, called “The Baseball 100,” his 100 greatest players. It’s full of wonderful quotes, but it leaves out a quote that is not just all of Baseball in three words, but that applies to all of life. ”Sometimes you suck.” Adam Jones. God bless Adam Jones. Yes, Hyde makes boneheaded decisions almost every game. Yes Mike should have done this or not done that, Yes Cowser shouldn’t have thrown that way, Ryan shouldn’t have missed the fly, yada yada. I was screaming as loud as anyone. My wife said,”I thought you liked baseball,” But now it’s tomorrow.  “Sometimes you suck.” Charge on.
    • Game 4 of Yankees series. It’s one game, but one game could be the difference in the division, having to play in the WC series, and home field advantage.  Things to consider…  How did games 1-3 go versus the NYY?  Should we ease Bradish back in a lower pressure spot so he’s not too amped up for his own good? Do we play matchups and go with a LH SP in OPACY? What happens in Irvin’s start today?
