True. Chance has been regressing with throwing out runners. 

I woudk also say we have more catching options then ready OF players. Plus Trey is more of a run producer.  

As opposed to Caleb (21%)?

I'm fine with Sisco getting sent down.  He isn't performing.

But neither is Mancini and with Stewart and Mullins sitting in the minors I'd like to see a change.

Sisco 16 RBI, 12 runs in 141 PA, Mancini 18 RBI, 32 runs in 286 PS.  Which one is producing more runs?

They would have to keep him down for a considerable amount of time.

I'd assume him just stay up and learn then. He had a good OBPand was improving behind the plate.

Sending down struggling rookies isn't something teams as bad as the Orioles should do. Especially to replace them with veterans struggling in the minors.

He has options. I don't think that Angelos allows them to DFA anyone. I bet Rickard is the next to go when Rasmus is ready.  

He's probably talking Mancini. I would assume.

Also not sure if there is anything that went on behind the scenes. He wasn't scratched until game time, wasn't seen at all (Chris Davis, of all people, warmed up Bundy while Wynns got his gear on between innings,) and then Buck has a curious answer during the less conference and then this.

It's being reported he was scratched due to an illness.

We’re getting into the dog days of summer. Why run Sisco into the ground?  We gain a year of control. He can go to AAA to work on a few things. No sense to burn him out this year. The last thing we need is an injury to him. This move makes sense by itself and doesn’t have to be compared to Mancini.

He's started 33 games.

He isn't being run into the ground.

Not even close.

I'm fine with him being sent down but come one, suggesting he's been overworked?

If they're sending Cisco down, they should send down Mancini, too.

I agree, but maybe they will play Mancini at 1st more with the Davis benching. That could have something to do with it.

They've had Corban there 2 of the 3 games so far. There was also talk of Valencia playing first when Beckham comes back.

Can't argue with it, just don't understand why he is the only one.

I said he should started at AAA and he wasn’t ready but everyone thought he was the next AL All-Star starting catcher.

Having said that, not really sure what sending him down now does...

Sending Mancini down would actually benefit the team.

Buys a year of control. Get's his hitting stroke back.

If by everyone you mean no one.

The whole thing seems a bit off to me.  I think something else happened that we won't ever know about.

I suppose.  Just want to see him get on track.
