Ongoing Lineup Thread (2015)

[Going Underground]

Free Travis Snider.

Seriously, what gives?

The more Pearce plays,the more he gets the food poisoning out of his system. Especially in the outfield.

[Il BuonO]

Free Travis Snider.

Pearce has more time under Buck's good graces.

Or, veteranosity.

[Going Underground]

Hopefully Buck is a genius and Pearce factors into a win tonight in a big way because otherwise it makes literally zero sense to play him over Snider against a righty.

Buck likes these guys. Pearce is one he really likes.

[CA-ORIOLE]

Buck likes these guys. Pearce is one he really likes.

Maybe he thinks Pearce is close to breaking out. All I got.

[Babypowder]

Pearce hasn't really been playing much lately either, it's Delmon Young Buck has a weird fetish for.

[Aristotelian]

Free Travis Snider.

Seriously, what gives?

Unfortunately, Paredes has made it very difficult to find ABs for guys. I will say that today's lineup makes more sense than any lineup with De Aza in it. Delmon has actually been decent in RF (his arm certainly plays there if he can throw to the correct base) and Pearce made a strong claim last year to be an everyday player and deserves that chance.

Snider has been the better offensive player and I have more faith in his approach going forward. Delmon's true colors won't take long to show through on defense.

Wow, I had just peaked there and it was pending.

[CA-ORIOLE]

I think we will score some runs tonight. 6 or more.

A 4-3 pitchers duel. A fast 2:34 minute game

Do we have a backup catcher? I mean, man alive Buck. I know Caleb's doing a great job, and I know we're expecting Matt back at some point in the next few weeks, but you're gonna KILL the man.

Don't worry about it. Caleb is used to a very heavy workload at catcher. It is not as if the O's were using him as a utility guy the last few years.

Lavarnway caught Saturday - day game after a night game - and we won!

Three or four weeks from now, Caleb will start getting more time off than he'll want.

Yeah, I'd prefer the other guy to be spelling Caleb myself.
