Ongoing Lineup Thread, 2017

[maybenxtyr]

I love Buck but his unwillingness to sit some guys and play others is maddening. 162 is a lot of games but the most important one is the one you play today.

Can easily get Mancini AB at RF, DH, 1B, and LF, v LHP.

But as we've seen, Buck favors Mancini in the lineup nearly everyday.

I'm not saying there isn't a way to do it, I'm saying there's no way it's going to happen.

Welcome back, Adam. Let's keep Tanaka on the ropes and steal this series.

Don't use the word steal like it is some kind of fluke if we beat them.   We are what, 18-11 vs the AL East?   And we have one of the two or three best home records in baseball.

Let's WIN this series.   And the next one.

Maybe it is a fluke that they're 18-11 against the AL East. It all depends on who the "real" Orioles are. The ones from the first month of the season, or the ones from the second month of the season. So I'm going to go with "steal" for now, because they haven't been playing well.

Although Tanaka has had an awful season overall so far, he was excellent in his last outing ...... 7.33 Innings Pitched, 1 Run, 13 Strikeouts, and 0 Walks.

The Orioles need to put him back on the ropes.

There's no no way in baseball.

Funny that you would use that turn of phrase, as there was a famous pro wrestler named Professor Toru Tanaka back in my day.

Call me when it does. Pending an injury to a regular, it would appear that Kim is done here.

I wish Buck would bat Machado lower in the lineup so he relaxes a bit. Or maybe try leadoff to get him out of his "I want to hit a homer on every pitch" mode. 

And man...ERod has been a beast this year for the BoSox. Miss him.

[sportsfan8703]

Rickard batting leadoff is a joke.  He's been exposed.  He's better than Smith vs LHP but bat him 8th or 9th.  

VS LHP I would have it as

Mancini

Jones

Machado

Trumbo

Schoop

Davis

Joseph

Hardy 

Rickard

One of the baffling things about Miley is why he's suddenly "ceding" so many walks.    Otherwise, he's been quite effective.  He's never been walk-prone before this year.
