If he sits then why bring him up? 

Because he doesn't want him up but can't complain about him sitting.

I don't see the problem with him playing, what's the worst that can happen, the Orioles lose a game?

I think Buck will manage the series vs contenders (Oakland, Yankees, and Houston if they haven't clinched by then) more than the meaningless games (White Sox, Blue Jays, and assuming Red Sox will have clinched #1 across the board by the time we play them).

He'll use proven ML guys like Jones, Rickard (I know, don't laugh) vs the contenders and the Andreoli's and Stewarts and Ortiz will go in the meaningless games.

The 2018 Orioles staying competitive is an oxymoron. Good grief.

My guess is they are trying to avoid a grievance  by reinstating Susac.

A grievance on what grounds?

Exactly. The dude got his wrist broken and packed up his stuff and left, then didn't come back for rehab.

Waste of a 40 spot right now.

Buck doesn't want to lay down versus teams jockeying for playoff seeding.

I say do what is best for your team.

I still also believe they should check on Little Yaz. If they can give Andreoli a look and then a struggling Stewart, along with Corban Joseph getting some time in Baltimore, they can give it to him too.

Of course he should do what is best for team. Hell NFL teams in a 16 game season get gift wins all the time at the end of the year which impacts the playoffs.  

It would be one thing if someone like Manny was still here and being benched

If they were going to bring up Yaz he would be here instead of Stewart.

Stewart is much more of a prospect than little Yaz.

I don't get Andreoli.

Out of the 3 of them, I'd rather see Andreoli.  He's not a prospect, but he's the one of them that has tools - speed and defense, and the baseball gods know our pitchers need all the defense they can get.  And he's probably a little better hitter than the other 2.  Stewart's the youngest, but I don't see enough upside to call him a prospect.

I get the "Stewart > Yaz" part of the call up. But Andreoli?

I’ll be surprised if Jones doesn’t start the vast majority of the remaining home games.

Home games. Yeah. You changed my mind.

Yeah, I'd be fine sitting Jones for a prospect, but I'd question calling Stewart a prospect at this point.

What would you call chance Sisco at this point?

Andreoli at least has speed. Yaz doesn't have a plus major league tool. That said, Andreoli is an up down outfielder for me. He's not a solution to anything.

The Yaz years are officially over.
