Why did Kim hit for Davis earlier in the game? Injury?

Oblique injury on his 2nd at bat. Or as I surmised, he swallowed a chaw.  But I think it's the first, as reported on Twitter.

Strained oblique.

Melewski said strained oblique.

From swinging?

He didn't hit for him.   Davis made the last out of an inning (3-2 count, good at bat, he took a low pitch and hit it about 350 feet for a fly out).

After the inning Mancini moved to first and Kim came into left.

They are saying oblique, seriousness unknown.

I find it very hard to imagine that the Orioles' almost-87-year-old owner, who overpaid for Davis, Trumbo and O'Day so that the team would have a powerful offense and strong bullpen, enabling it to compete this year and next, would be open to going into sell mode. It may be the right thing to do -- that depends on what you can bring back -- but does anyone believe there's a real chance of it happening?

Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree with this sentiment.  Maybe John Angelos can convince his dad a rebuild would be the right move.  If the O's don't turn it around before the all star break, I would start moving pieces.

Oblique, don't worry I am sure it won't be as bad now that he is two years older.

[Drifter]

This is what I can't believe. Schoop has made 2 very risky base running moves tonight. This one is crazy even if he's safe.. its STUPID!

[TouchemAll]

They won't over turn that.

Nobody knows.   Didn't see any reaction when he swung.

But the last thing he did in the game was swing the ball and fly out to deep right, so that would be an assumpiton.

Must have been, Flied out for the third out. Didn't come back out in the field.

Unnatural act for him to swing at a pitch with two strikes.

[spiritof66]

He was safe. They might not reverse it, but he's safe -- and lucky.

[scOtt]

Still called him out. Nytol.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Umpires wanted to go home.  Schoop has to know better there.

Last out of game at second base down by 3 runs

This team just doesn't give a hoot and either do I

Buck has done nothing to improve the bad fundamentals
