Who leaves for Garcia? (Update: Givens Recalled)

[weams]

I wonder how many relief appearances over three innings the O's have had this season?

I wonder how many times the Orioles have carried a starter injured but not DL'd for 14 days?

Jones is a starter, they kept him on the roster instead of the DL.

You win. Not 224 days though

What's your point? Wilson made Tillman's last start. If Tillman wasn't ready, they could DL him retroactively and called Wilson back up.

You are right too. It was the wrong move.

Right, but they made the wrong decision (as Buck is prone to do in these situations) so now we have to deal with the fallout.

Yes but we could quickly fix it. DL Tillman ASAP. Bring up Givens. No 10 day rule because of injury. Let Tillman throw an inning or two in Bowie or one of our MILB home teams to make sure he is ready to come back. Call up Wilson when we need a starter. Send down Lake or Flaherty and go with a short bench and keep Givens up. Or send down Mac. Tons of options. The worst thing would be if Tillman isn't ready and we throw him out there and then he has to go on the DL. Just let him get healthy. Wilson in Seattle is a pretty good matchup for us.

Not disagreeing.

But the problem is Buck/Dan doesn't see to like to DL the "core guys" unless they absolutely have to.

Well that didn't take long, did it?

Could be argued that playing with essentially a six man bullpen (Buck will never go to Garcia in a crucial situation if he can avoid it) cost us today.

A lot of people defending this move earlier in the week, a lot of people. The bad news, is this could be the first of a number of games where Garcia on the roster directly or indirectly costs us a ball game.

Send Lake down and go with an 8 man pen. Play Wieters every day whether it is DH or not. Not like we are getting any offense with Reimold, Lough or Flaherty anyway.

The sad thing is, there were probably three or four different moves they could have made to avoid this situation including cutting ties with Garcia altogether.

Not like we have a bench bat that worries the other manager. If they want to keep Garcia bring another arm in and then as soon as possible bring Givens back.

This team is a Rule V pick junkie. They need an intervention. They just can't help themselves. Penny wise and pound foolish if you ask me. Flash was a decent Rule V guy since they weren't really expecting to be good in 2012; the last three guys have not been good.

Mychal Givens is in Seattle, and expected to join the Orioles bullpen tonight.

He was optioned 4 days ago, so he must replace player going on the DL.

Must be DL, by rule. Only question is who.
