Ahh it's so cute, Buck acting like his opinion still matters.

I'm sure the fact that LeBlanc is left handed isn't at all relevant.

It’s hard to prove you can hit left handed pitching if your manager concludes that you can’t hit left handed pitching after 20 at bats. It makes a lot of sense to give those at bats to Rickard and Andreoli because they clearly haven’t tapped into their potential yet .

Buck has done such a terrible job managing this year that it makes me wonder if it is being done in spite.

Well, when someone is a switch hitter, let's see how they do...

I am not a member of the Orioles front office or coaching staff.

Of course, if you were...that's what you would have to say.

Just putting it out there incase Buck reads this board during the game, since he doesn't seem to pay attention during it.

When will you learn that Buck is smarter than anyone else in baseball (as Jim Hunter likes to remind us) and thus knows more than you.

You’re the smartest man not in baseball.

Why does Mullins need to be a LFer?

LF? LOL

He doesn’t need to be a LF and his range has nothing to do with it. He is better suited for LF with his arm.  If you get a McKenna or a VVM then it would be a natural move because of the arm. Diaz has a better arm and projects well to RF but could also play CF. You want Mullins in LF because that means you got a better guy for CF. I’m not saying Mullins isn’t going to pan out, I’m just hoping the options coming up will force him over. Mullins left, Diaz/McKenna/VVM/Hays for CF and RF. Stewart to 1B

Heh.  Not hardly but thanks.

I'm about 75% less interested in a game if Mullins isn't playing.

I mean sure I hear you. Trout would be a better LFer if the Angels had prime Ken Griffey Jr.

Close enough. The idea is he can stick at CF but isn’t a HOF generational talent there and could/should be moved off there by other talent within/hopefully to be in the organization who would play the position even better. It is mostly an arm thing. If someone like VVM were to pan out, you are looking at 70 speed 70 arm. Mullins is 60 speed 45 arm. Night and day for arm and faster than you can believe.

I'm not sure where you heard VVM has double plus run and arm, but I haven't heard or read that.
