Ongoing Lineup Thread, 2018

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Corban Joseph playing at 1B tonight.  Davis sitting against a RHP.  Looks like we're going to see a lot less of Davis now.  This is a step forward.

 

[The Goob]

Somehow this lineup is below average defensively at every position and significantly below average at most of them

[Going Underground]

So lefty tomorrow ,so no Davis tomorrow.Rest and relax.Shampoo,rinse,repeat 

[Going Underground]

Davis won’t face Gonzalez tonight, according to Showalter, but not because of the left-left matchup. Showalter said the opposing pitcher isn’t a factor. It comes down to when Davis and the crew working with him say he’s ready.

Whatever happens upon his return, no one can accuse Davis of not putting in the necessary hours, including his workout Monday at Camden Yards during the off-day. Anyone curious to see the new model?

Nice one Mr. Oriole PR director.You said he put in all this work over the winter months but I guess you really didn't mean it then. I think Mr. Palmer voided yuor argument then. So why did it take 2 months into the season to finally get him to work at a change? Forced into a corner or what? Necessary hours should have been before the season not two months in .

Is Davis working with 2 Live Crew?

Both our Cs are righthanded.   I guess Caleb is the "starter" and Wynns is the "backup" for now.

[Natty]

Rickard should be starting against a lefty.

If he gets in, it will be as a late inning "double switch."

Sure does look like a team at the very beginning of a rebuilding process. Lots of 4A types. No prospects.

I guess one benefit of benching Davis for a while was to ease him down into the #8 slot in the lineup. I hope it's not only because he'll be facing a lefty.

In my opinion the main benefit of benching Davis was not having to watch him bat.

I think of it as a service to the fans.

He's 7th, which is where he batted vs lefties before the "re-tooling".
