How the Orioles are favored -120 is beyond me.

boggles my mind that CD is gettin another start against a LH (pretty good one at that)

Is Buck trying to force him into a mental breakdown and than they can DL him for the season?

Counterpoint - Boyd is a soft tosser and the stats Luke provided yesterday show that Davis hits 90 mph fastballs very well.

He doesn't have much of an option.  Pedro never hit lefties, Sisco another lefty who has not hit lefties, Santander seems to be much better from the left side and then you have a weak hitting minor league hitter.  So who is he getting benched for.  When Trumbo comes back you will start seeing him benched vs lefties.

Sardinas batting right after Davis in the six hole. Power display does wonders on your place in the lineup.

Man Buck hates Sisco. Batting dead last, even below Sardinas and Santander. Brutal.

Some NL managers bat a second leadoff type ninth and the pitcher eighth.

Usually they have good leadoff/#2 options when they do that, though.

Craig Gentry can now someday tell his grandkids he was a major league leadoff hitter.

Sisco catching a day game after a night game.   That will make Corn happy.

4:05 is kind of in-betweenish.

He already could.    He’s started 34 games at leadoff in his career, including 7 for us last season.
