The Silver Lining Report: Game 74/162 (O's lose 8-3)

[interloper]

Swept in Oakland. Was there anything good? Sure!

• Jimmy Yacabonis: Nice job as opener - scoreless 2 innings with only 1 hit and no walks. He certainly seems like he deserves to stay for a little while seeing as he's sometimes decent. Yes, that's where the bar is right now.
   
• Miguel Castro: In between Yac and Miguel, the bullpen was trash, but it was nice to see Castro go 1.2 scoreless. 
   
• Jonathan Villar: Broke up the no-hitter! A 2-5 night for the leadoff hitter.
   
• Renato Nunez: Got the O's on the board with an RBI infield single. It would be the first of 3 extremely not-exciting runs the O's would score. Ready for the next one?
   
• Rio Ruiz: RBI walk! Rio's patience got the O's a little closer at 3-2. 
   
• Anthony Santander: Sac fly! Lol. A nice POFO but alas, it would be all they score before the bullpen wheels fell off. 
   
• Trey Mancini: Only a contusion! This is great news for many reasons.
   
• Mini s: Wilkerson hit and SB, Alberto walk (!), 2 double plays were turned, Davis got on base and just missed an RBI knock. 
   
• No O in Oakland: The offense went quiet, but the good news is DSJ is BACK for the Seattle series. He really does help add something to this lineup. Homered in a rehab game yesterday.
   
• Changes coming: It'll be a tough roster decision for DSJ (Santader? Wilkerson DFA?  Both guys feel useful right now especially with Trey banged up), but there will also be a pitching swap. My guess is it's a Straily DFA and a call-up of Eshelman.

Diamond Rio almost always gets a nod - what's up with that?

He usually does something good! He numbers are lacking now, but he's still up there in the leaders in walks on this club, which isn't nothing. I wish he'd hit more because I like his defense and his patience at the plate.

Eshelman pitched 7 1/3 yesterday. Don't think he will be up till perhaps when they get home. Won't be able to use him for awhile.

I hope you’re right.

Ah, good call.

Scott perhaps?
