Little Lineup Shakeup tonight what do you guys think?

[mdterps4life25]

Jones protecting Millar? I think i need to go get my vision checked!

[Oriole4Life]

Thank god Millar is not batting cleanup. We are definitley winning *no jinx*

MASN on the MLB package is blacked out so I have to listen to Rex Hudler the Idiot.

Nick got some good wood on that!

[Crazysilver03]

Homerun MARKAKIS.

[8istheman]

Cakes! Let's go O's!

[Crazysilver03]

The announcers are talking abot how our terrible hitting coach adjusted Nick's stance in the last two days.

Crowley has always done wonders with Markakis.

[longflyball]

Yanking Millar from cleanup paid quick dividends. Markakis clearly benefitted from not having a worthless, pull-happy bum hitting behind him.

I like the idea of having a left handed batter in the #2.

What does pulling Millar from the 4 spot have to do with Markakis benefitting.

1st) Crowley worked with Markakis to change his stance.

2nd) Markakis was moved to the 2nd spot so he wasnt even ahead of the cleanup hitter.

3rd) He has hit 4 homeruns with Millar behind him.

[Crazysilver03]

Wow. The Orioles actually got Vlad out.

[ilovetheos]

man, that was a quick lead...

[RShack]

Say what you want about Palmer, but he's a legitimate know-it-all.

I appreciate that even more when he's replaced by a guy who works way too hard every AB to try to sound like he is.

[Crazysilver03]

Andy MacPhail in house. Nice to see he went with the team to Anaheim.

Shuffling of the roster. Most of it is injury opposed to talent changes.

Not sure what is up with Loewen. He will go see Andrews on Monday.

Most pleased that the Orioles are 2nd in come behind wins.

Bullpen: Like the arms in the bullpen. Like Johnson and Albers in the bullpen.

Really encouraged by Olson.

13 pitchers isnt unusual anymore because you want to keep as many arms fresh as possible. Likes expanded pitching. Not using a pitcher on a day is nice to give them more rest, but not using a position player is of no use.

[RShack]

Well, the Dynamic Duo asked AM a lot of nothing questions... let's see if they do any better after the commercial...

I thought the response to 13 pitchers was interesting.
