vs. TIGERS, 7/17

[Jonesy10]

They give us a chance and we do nothing.

That's been true way too often the past few weeks. Fortunately it can't get any worse than it is now.

Would rather see Caleb playing everyday than Wieters. He's just not that good and certainly isn't going to be worth the contract he will demand.

Comepletely disagree.

Wieters is lIke 9 for his last 20.

Two men on, and then five consecutive outs (including the botched DP).

I agree with the second statement for sure. Not sure about the first.

Name me one Oriole player in the minors who is truly "knocking on the door".

Where's Pat Rapp when you need him…...

The Candyman has had a good year.

True. But his K/BB ratio is terrible and his BABIP is 60 points higher than his career average. Once that comes back down he's exactly what Caleb is. Around a league average hitter (or somewhat below) that's good defensively as well. Caleb's wRC+ this season is 95. Matt's career number is 99. That's not a big difference at all. Obviously with me saying this I believe Caleb can keep this production up. And if he does I think it's a no brainer you take him and his salary over Matt and his salary.

Snider seems to be getting worse as the year goes on.

[UMDTerrapins]

Hardy boys photo op is gone. Ah well.

Tyler Wilson would be on the team now if Norris was not making $9m. Givens and Davies would also be playing for a lot of teams.

But you have to upgrade other positions.

Can you bat lower than ninth?

[Jonesy10]

At least we know someone is happy when Parmelee steps into the batters box. The opponents and their millions of fans.

[notyourbuddy]

Parmelee is worse than De Aza. He gonna get fired.
