When Dan and Buck decided to use Pearce and Paredes as their utility infielders it told me that anything can happen.

They may value Parmelee's bat more than Lough's glove.

They could feel they gave Snider an opportunity he did not take advantage of.

They could trade Parmelee.

You name it, it could happen.

If it is Snider, why would they start him today? Wouldn't they start Parmelee? That leads me to believe it is Delmon.

Well it could be Wright today and then Snider or Young (or another position player) on Friday.

I thought that also, but that just buys time which they may need to make a trade. At some point somebody has to go.

Right, but if they are bringing in Parmelee to DFA Snider (whether it's today or tomorrow), aren't they signaling that they like Parmelee better? In which case, shouldn't he start today?

It would have to be Lough to me, unless they are that down on Snider. To me I would just leave the team alone right now. How can you expect Reimold to do much if you take at bats away from him? Paredes will start vs RHP at DH. If Snider is here he will play vs RHP. Nothing against the guy but I am not so sure we aren't better off with what we have.

I agree with Lough. He'd be my personal pick to get rid of.

But, realistically, the team probably likes the fact that he has 4 years left under control, and I think Buck values his defense and speed too much for it to be him. Probably going to be Young or Snider.

Paredes is batting .247/.271/.272/.542 with two doubles and a 28 to 3 K to BB ratio in his last 85 PAs. Still, I think Snider may be the guy to go. He really has been a huge disappointment.

I think Lough stays for defense since he's an upgrade to everyone not named Adam Jones defensively.

Idk how this is going to shake out, especially with Schoop coming back in 2 weeks, but these would be my 13 position players until the trade deadline.

Machado 3B

Parades DH

Jones CF

Davis 1b

Wieters C

Reimold LF

Parmelee RF

Hardy SS

Flaherty 2B

Joseph, Schoop, Young, Pearce

bye bye to Lough and Snider. If you need a CF'er for more than an emergency than you can send down Flaherty or Schoop for Borbon or Alvarez.

Paredes can play 3 positions incompetently. Snider can only play one.

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
