Flaherty as defensive replacement for Reynolds

[atomic]

I think Reynolds needs to be at 1b.

All he does is strike out. If you can't trade him put him in Norfolk.

If you want to help your argument it is better if you don't outright lie.

Lies. There have been two occasions this evening where he has not struck out.

I am one of the more patient posters here, but I'm only going to give Reynolds 25 more games at 3rd to get straightened out before I start calling for his head.

Pop-up falls harmlessly to Earth...right over Reynolds' head...

...so angry...must...smash...

:vader:

LOL...that was really horrible. Didn't hurt them though.

Reynolds just had his second charged error. By my count, that's his 6th mistake/misplayed ball so far this young season.

Make that 7 with the misplayed pop-up in foul territory in the 12th.

Yeah we can quibble about the metrics, but he's really looking like a clown act.

Well, we can always play the "what if reality had been completely different" game (i.e., even though they got the second out without allowing a run, the entire game could have changed if the out had been recorded earlier).

(no, I'm not actually going to blame Reynolds for a laced-double to the gap)

(but he still kinda sucks right now)

Mark Reynolds is a butcher. If you want your pitching to get better you simply can't have him out there at 3rd.

So bad on in between hops and how about that pop out that was easily in play. Shake your head. Costing the O's game after game.

[BaltimoreTerp]

Looks like Reynolds just had his Cust fall, or his Polamalu sack/strip, moment.

Tougher play, but no reason a good 3b doesn't catch that liner off Cano.

Ehh I doubt it. He was playing to far in. To be honest, that play illustrates that his issue isn't reaction time, reflexes or range. It's more mental at this point.

C'mon man. It was smoked, he reacted fine, it was just out of his reach off the tip of the glove. Happens to everyone. Just also happens to fit the narrative in this case.

It was off his glove. If you're gonna say, yeah he makes errors but he's got great athletic ability, then that's the type of play he should make. A good third baseman makes it. I did say it was a tough play.
