vs. ANGELS, 7/29

[Ori-Al]

What a freaking horrible play by Flaherty.Horrible.

Can hit with the runner on third, any doesn't play proper defense on a routine ground ball to short.

[schittenden]

The difference is, you assume you know Flaherty's upside with the bat, when he's never been given a legit chance and that upside is lower than Schoop's THIS year. What are the chances that Schoop learns to hit this year when he couldn't hit much at AA or AAA? I'd say he's not a guy I want learning on the job. 2B is a black hole right now.

Good thing Schoop wasn't in.

[TouchemAll]

Come on FLASH!! no excuse for that. :cussing:

[DNM13]

We really need to find a way to relegate Flaherty to the bench.

[Malike]

Bad day to defend Flaherty.

SSS right chief?

[MDK02]

Ryan just walking to 2nd base to cover.. get him off the field.

[Sanfran327]

What the hell was that? Flaherty did not cover second.

It kills me that he's our only backup SS option. When defense is your only thing, make sure you do it.

[Malike]

Good thing Schoop wasn't in.

Glad you can see the future, and know the result would have been the same. Just tell us the final now so we can all get back to being productive in other things.

That's 600 PA's over 3 years, also. He's never gotten consistent playing time due to Andino and Brian Roberts being on the team the previous two years. Full time players get that many PA in a single season. Flaherty has never been given a legitimate shot to hit.

How bad was Ryan during the first two months last year? Did he not have the vast majority of starts till Roberts came back? His numbers in his first 50 starts last year were what? Perhaps worse than any Oriole position player in history. He is not a full time starting major league hitter, imho. He has had plenty of opportunity.

Um... RF? Would you mind playing your basic defensive assignment please? :slytf:

Unforgiven

[Hank Scorpio]

So.... Buck puts in Hunter? Same guy that blew it last week in Anaheim?

[dtk9119]

Cannot believe that just happened. Guess you just get used to the solid defense. I am so over Flaherty... Schoop should be playing everyday, bad bat and all.

[Malike]

Just completely unacceptable by Flaherty. Cost us the game perhaps.

Like Schoop falling on his face doing an awkward ballet the other night?

[fernandodfcosta]

Flaherty should be benched.:angryfire::angryfire::angryfire: Maybe he should never had left it.
