Nick Markakis... batting 5th wow... BRob at leadoff

Buck loves him some washed up veterans.... If we had Vlad and Thome I believe he'd start them over Jones and Markakis

Buck will use his veteran guys even if it means the ship sinks. This is what infuriates people about Buck.

This season against right-handed pitching, Roberts has an OBP of .339 and OPS of .726. He's walked 15 times and knocked in 19 runs in only 106 ABs. Who exactly would you start instead of him at DH?

Funny, I vaguely recall that Vlad and Thome were on the 25-man roster at the same time that Jones and Markakis were, but, you know something, I just don't remember them replacing the latter in the lineup. Regardless, since you've also called Markakis a washed-up veteran, what difference is it to you anyway?

Markakis gets a day off.

Jones and Davis did the ol' switcheroo.

I like it. Hope we can produce some runs.

Well, they scored 4 runs last night, and they have scored 21 runs over their last 4 games, so if they equal that, that will give Gonzalez a chance for the W if he pitches reasonably well.

Nate in the 5 hole. Don't recall ever seeing that.
Buck being pretty flexible with the lineup lately. Good.

Yes.

Whether you agree with his moves or not, nobody can accuse Bucky of being a robo-manager and/or not having the cojones to use his instincts, regardless of what the proverbial book says.

      AL playoff picture

      i still like that winning your division matters, at least a little bit.  So I think there's a happy medium between how unbalanced it was, and what you are suggesting.  13 games vs each division team feels right to me, but there are going to be years where that skews the WC thing a bit, because there's always one really bad team, it seems, somewhere (not always as bad as the ChiSox, of course).  I'm not sure how else to further balance it.  Maybe cut back on the NL stuff a bit and play more games against your non-divisional conference rivals so at least there's more head to head to base the WC on.

      Apparently this post of mine from one year ago killed this thread, as it was the last before today's bump.  In re-reading that, I am reminded (by a past version of myself, LOL) of why I love this sport.  It was actually a bit invigorating reading that back to myself.  LETS GO BIRDS!

      I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.

      It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
