Don't like this lineup at all.

Why not stick with the lineup that got us a win yesterday? Except catcher.

Why on earth Davis? He’s facing a lefty isn’t he? I hope it works out for the O’s. I have to trust the manager. 

[DirtyBird]

O/U 2.5 HR's allowed for Bundy?

That would be my choice. I can see getting Davis in the game but Mancini in RF? I thought we were done being that team.

Could this be the O's saying, "go try and keep your job."  If he doesn't perform now, could he be cut soon?

I would hope so. With that darned contract he has I just don’t see it happening. What an anchor that man is against the O’s.

Hope it’s not a recurring thing.

Davis should sit vs lefties, Mancini should be at first.

Vs righties -- occasionally at least Nunez can take a day off and Mancini can DH.   And if Davis isn't performing vs righties then he too can sit some of the time and Mancini can play 1st.

I'd hope doing that you wouldn't have to use Mancini in the outfield more than 30% or 40% of the games.   At least until Trumbo gets back.

I think he didn’t want to sit Chris 2 straight but who knows.

Rain delay ........ and since we're in the Bronx, somebody will eventually go into the Orioles' locker room when the rain subsides and say, "Or-eee-ooooles ........ come out to play- yi-yay !!!"

I'm sure at some level it is.  The question is does "perform now" mean 2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 years.

At the OH we're apparently reassessing every 2 pitches...

It’s the “try to humiliate Davis into retirement” strategy.

Worth a shot....

Wish that would have worked last year. I guess not having the worst season for a position player ever was enough incentive.
