3rd game been on Bench for 2.

Didn't he not arrive until Sunday?

Didn't he not arrive until Sunday?

He got in at 4am on Saturday morning, so they didn't want him playing an early game. This is much ado about nothing, he's going to get his starts.

Morse on the bench again unreal.

Well he is 0-3 VS Masterson

[TouchemAll]

Lots of speed at the bottom. Doesn't Casilla have big numbers vs Masterson. We need Casilla to find some Bill Hall and Steve Tolleson magic from last year.

yep From Roch

He's 10-for-29 with a double, triple, two home runs and 11 RBIs against Justin Masterson.

(vs. INDIANS, 9/02)

Justin Masterson leads the major leagues in hit batsmen (16), and has walked 74 batters in 188.33 innings, for an average of one walk every 2.54 innings.

Combining that with his 23 for 49 (.469) off current Yankee lefties--incl. 16 for 31 vs. Sabathia (.516)--from the other side of the plate of how he'll bat against Masterson, and you marvel at how many surprises/enigmas everyday baseball has in store.

Like how Valencia just owns Price.

Although Ubaldo Jimenez has a respectable E.R.A. of 3.95, his W.H.I.P. is 1.422, and he has walked 73 batters in 141.33 innings, for an average of 1 walk every 1.94 innings.

Chris Tillman's walk rate for the season is not the best (57 walks in 167 innings pitched, for an average of 1 walk ever 2.93 innings), but lately, he has had very good control. In his last 5 outings, has only walked 7 batters over 35 innings, for an average of 1 walk every 5 innings.

SIDE NOTE: Neither pitcher has issued a single intentional walk for the entire season.

BALTIMORE ORIOLES O (vs. INDIANS, 9/03)

Brian Roberts - 2B

Manny Machado - 3B

Chris Davis - 1B

Adam Jones - CF

Matt Wieters - C

Michael Morse - DH

Nate McLouth - LF

Chris Tillman - RHP (15-4, 3.61 ERA)

This is by far our best line up.

[Redskins Rick]

I like it. I like that Buck isn't just playing Betemit automatically against the righty.

The word on Morse is that he doesn't like/succeed at DHing, so we'll see how it goes.

2 for 4 in his first game, yes, I know, short sample size.

If I was Buck, I would come out and say, "Hey, Morse you are a part-time DH and part-time bench. It is what is is, don't like it, there's the door, and there are 500+ people willing to replace you on the roster in a New York Minute!"

You're not doing it right. It's like this...

Morse is hitting .500 as an Oriole. There is little doubt that this was a GREAT trade for Duquette and Morse should be playing every day with these numbers!

wildcard? How did you get into Dipper's account?

Meh, I think that's probably overblown. It might be different if his existing team were thinking of moving him to DH, but he's coming to a new, contending team and it's not like he's an idiot. I mean, where would he think he should play? First? Well, Chris Davis has 47 HR. Third? He's already seen how good Machado is there. Right? Well, Markakis kind of sucks this year, but he's also the type of guy that other players seem to really respect, plus he's won a Gold Glove, so I doubt Morse sees himself playing there. Left? Well, maybe against a LHP, although McLouth has also won a Gold Glove. And it's only 26 more games. Morse would have to be a complete headcase to complain about DH'ing, and I don't think he is.

Ah, now the truth comes out.

Well he started in LF for that 2-4 performance, for what it's worth.

Box Score: O's @ MFY 9/1/13
