What is going on with Joseph

[eddie83]

Caleb needs to get his blocker down. Thought he was a hockey guy.

Are they trying to lose?  There is no explanation for Davis, Tillman, Jones in center, and other decisions.

Maybe a split between the team's owners and the players -- some of whom may realize how stupid the owner's "plan" is.

You'd think, if they were tanking, they wouldn't have signed Cashner and Cobb.

And also trade Machado and stuff.

So, they are trying to win then?  By giving ABs to Davis, starts to Tillman, playing this defense and lineup?

John Jay was begging for a job.  Shame.

This organization has never been forward thinking.

I've been saying it for days, what else did you guys expect?

Yeah, Tillman in the rotation sucks.  But what's the alternative?

Jones, no longer a great CF.  What's the alternative?  

Davis, absolutely terrible.  What's the alternative?

There's no one on the 25 or 40 man that can really make a huge difference here.  Mullins ain't ready for the majors, Gentry isn't a great hitter.  You can have Mike Wright instead of Tillman, but Mike Wright still sucks.  

There aren't any moves that can be made that are going to make this team a winner.  There's just not.

[jtm]

Okay.  You can't say with any straight face Sisco would do any worse defensively than Caleb.

He plays for the Orioles.

They aren’t tanking. The players are. 

[spiritof66]

Hey, I don't think that run reduced our chances of winning this too much.

Givens is all over the place.

Has Givens had even one good outing so far this year?  I can't remember if he has.

Not now, no.  There were lots of things they could have done and didn't.

[Yossarian]

how many runs have the O's given up on wild pitches and passed balls already this year?

Effort and execution need to improve. Was Jones afraid of VMart trying to get a double?  Manny running the bases like a little leaguer?  

Yes we have holes but this is a joke.
