In Buck I trust?

[EagleOriole]

I have always implicitly trusted Buck and can rarely find fault with him, but how can De Aza start today against a LHP who is killing it.

De Aza is 0-10 with 6 Ks against lefties this year.

Free Travis Snider!

De Aza is three for five against the starter. I wouldn't have started him, but I have to think that plays into the decision.

He may or may not be. But he's the best we'll ever get to go to war with. You seriously think the Orioles could obtain or retain better talent? Look at what they did to Duquette when we got good. And he's under contract for three more seasons.

I don't know why he's playing De Aza, but I am sure Buck has a good reason. Be interesting to hear it. We might learn something.

What the O's did to Duquette? Duquette had a choice. Duquette was happy to sign that contract at the time it was offered.

The league. Toronto. Other teams with envy and more resources.

Buck loves him some SSS.

Who has the better shot, a guy who has never seen the SP before or a guy who has 3 hits in 5 PA.

Absolutely!

And yet the O's won the game against the Stros.

Exactly. Just Win Baby (RIP Al Davis).

I know, what an amazing game by De Aza, my fault for even mentioning it. I mean De Aza hit two two run homers and made all of those plays in the field. Awesome.

Frankly It could be said of just about any of the outfielders save Jones and even HE isn't hitting. I DID see that Markakis has 8 doubles and the rest of his 45 hits are singles..NO HR all year. No one is hitting, except that guy we let sign with someone else. WHATS HIS NAME AGAIN?

That guy is not really an OF.
