I'm fine with it but I don't believe for a second that if Cal had really wanted to be there he couldn't have made it happen.

 

If the orioles told you the grass was green, you’d say it was actually blue and they died it green to fool everyone. Not everything is a conspiracy. 
 

To state the obvious he had something else he felt was more important or couldn’t be moved. That’s literally the definition of another commitment

I know it's a small sample size, but Voth is like two different pitchers this year.  In Washington he gave up 34 hits in 18 innings and pitched to a 10.13 ERA.  In Baltimore, before the start of tonights game, he's given up 34 hits over 35 innings and pitched to a 3.03 ERA.  What a turn around.

Mountcastle may end up not being part of the next playoff team .. slow, big mediocre first base DH tyoes can be replaced 

Come on now.

Mountcastle isn't slow.

League average is 27ft/sec.  Mountcastle is at 27.5.  (Hays is at 27.7)

It’s similar to Adam Jones when he was an Oriole and not laying the low outside pitches. 

Yeah they both have their mind made up about whether they’re gonna swing before the pitch is thrown. Of course, you could live with it from Jones because of the positive value from his defense.

Everyone tell Odor you're sorry.

The Orioles didn't tell me anything.

I'm talking about Cal.

I'm glad he's not there.

Mountcastle can't hit an away slider to save his life.

He doesn't have to hit it -- just let it go by.

At this stage in his career he's above average, eleventh out of 41 for first basemen.

Right now we got plenty to complain about with Mountcastle, no need to pile on with stuff that isn't an issue.

Another hit batsman. It's getting silly.

Yeah that was a pretty bad call.

[BRobinsonfan]

Phillips has 0 hits in 34 AB's against left handers... just sayin' 

[O's84]

Finally!
