Good lineup, matchup in our favor.

Gotta win this one.

Showalter walks up to Trumbo, 3 hours ago........

SHOWALTER: ) "You have a bad back today. You're not in the lineup."

TRUMBO: ) "My back feels fine, coach."

SHOWALTER: ) "It looks bad from this angle. Gotta go with Kim today."

o

Was thinking it went more like:

Buck: Mark, how's the back?

Trumbo: It's pretty sore Buck, don't think I can make it today.

Buck: You try rubbing some dirt on it? Pills? Booze? You're a tough guy.

Trumbo: Naw, I don't think it can happen today Buck, maybe tomorrow.

Buck: Guess I got to go with Kim again today.

The Orioles did not quit having losing seasons because of Kim.

You know that argument doesn't work on me.

You trying to garner the support of others?

As for my post you quoted, it was meant as a source of levity.

I like Kim. I don't believe your conspiracy theory. That's all.

I don't have anything going on that I would consider a conspiracy theory.

Unless you mean the Ortiz-MLB thing.

That's pretty tin-foilish.

I don't think Buck has actively tried to get Kim off the team in months.

Me either. So we agree.

I also think Buck plays Kim when he thinks it is best.

The last couple times there have been RHP with reverse splits, Buck has elected to bench Kim and go with Pearce or Reimold. Now there is a LHP with reverse Kim and...Reimold. Ugh. Buck hates Kim.

Not a fan at all. Playing with no RF could be trouble.

Trumbo is playing in Right Field.

Not entirely sure why we won't stack lefties against bucholz.

Trumbo to the bench, Bourne in right, Kim in left, flash in for schoop at second.

Wieters is a switch along with David batting lefty.

Give yourself the best chance to win instead of playing guys because you feel you have to.

Just my opinion.

Why not try your highest OBP guy at leadoff? FINALLY some common sense.
