vs. Texas 7/8 Bust a move.

Fair enough.

They probably are being (mostly) truthful. It's just that mechanics/body language are likely to give the same results as pitch count monitoring unless you are Randy Johnson or CC Sabathia.

I think it is a tough guy shtick.

[LookitsPuck]

Once again, why does Roberts deserve to be here more then Reimold?

If you have a problem with one you should have a problem with both.

No, Roberts was at least hitting well for 3 games. Reimold squandered his chances this year. And Reimold is clogging a spot that should be used on Valencia. Roberts isn't taking it from someone deserving.

[LookitsPuck]

Hate swinging at the first pitch from new pitchers/beginning of game.

[Jonesy10]

Hate when Nick swings at the 1st pitch. He always seems to pop out or ground out weakly.

[Il BuonO]

Still can't believe this team is carrying Flaherty, Roberts, Casilla, AND Reimold. We send down the one bat that was doing wonderfully against lefties (Valencia with 282/317/487 - 804) for a guy that doesn't deserve to be on this team (Reimold).

Exactly right and I've been a Reimold fan, but he had no business being called up. Roberts either for that matter.

Three games? Three?

He is taking at bats and time in the field from Flaherty and Casilla both of whom have outperformed him thus far this season.

95% of that game was played with negative body language and frowns.

The outcome was great.......but up until jones's dinger things didnt look great in that dugout.

They are losing a ball game. It's not time to be laughing and smiling on the bench. Maybe it's just me, but if I'm playing, I'm trying to figure out what I can do to help my team win a game, not joking around in the dug out.

See: spring training.

Flaherty and Casilla? Do you see their overall numbers? At least Valencia has CLEARLY better numbers than Reimold.

Also, gotta give Roberts more than a few games before you judge him.

I agree.

Both in or both out if fair. Picking Reimold because he runs out grounders or picking Roberts because of what he did five years ago not so much.

Reimold wasted a month+ proving he doesn't belong. As well as a crappy "rehab" stint. Let him go the full length.

Manny just smiled in the dugout.. body language is good, now we're going to win!

I looked at the O's spring training numbers last month, trust me you don't want to go there.

Spring training means nothing.

Baseball reference:

Casilla .8 WAR

Flaherty .2 WAR

Roberts -.1 WAR
