Guys, sometimes people just get off days.

Interesting, Mountcastle has not started at 1B once since he has been back.  Guess it shows how they value his defense.

This is Baltimore. We've had players who play 2,633 games in a row. There are no days off!

Lol

Yeah, I mean... of course this is gonna happen from time to time. As long as the future of the franchise isn't languishing on the bench for long periods of time, whatever.

It's all perfectly fine with me so long as they're continuing to win.

So Mullins, Hays and Hicks are banged up? Yes, I see Hicks is playing tonight but he was sore yesterday and couldn't play.

I don't know if I buy the story every-time they say someone is banged up, sore, or injured. The timing suggests to me it's all a cover story to change the lineup and provide and excuse to why some player is not in the lineup.

The latter 2 aren't hitting much right now, or in Cowser's case, at all. If Mullins wasn't hurt, we wouldn't be seeing him at all and I have to think Hays is a little banged up to not be in the lineup/OF.

Cowser is getting on base.

Well clearly this is because Hays and Mullins are banged up. So Hyde chose to play Mountcastle over Westburg, basically. And you don't want to use Westburg at DH in case you need to move infielders around later in the game. There is literally no other option on the bench. 

Your mom is banged up.

Mountcastle banged up your mom?

I love hot moms.

The Orioles have multiple outfielders dealing with nagging injuries and they're still winning games. Now is a good time to give Cowser enough rope to see if he can stick with the O's or if he has to go back to Norfolk when another pitcher needs to be added to the roster.

[DirtyBird]

We have solid depth on this roster.

Who do they need to make excuses to? I doubt they care if the tiniest fraction of their die-hard fans are a little miffed that someone isn't getting enough lineup time. Certainly not enough to craft an official story.

It can't be for the player's benefit. They could just ask the guy in the locker room.

I still fully believe we need more dominate middle relievers, and am equally as pissed as you all about baker yesterday, but I don’t think he deserves as much hate as he got. 
he inherited a runner on first and second with zero outs and was able to get 2, then got robbed of a strikeout, then got to a 0-2 count. 
He threw one bad pitch, but even then he through the pitch brad and the others thought he would. The dodgers are probably a top 2 hitting lineup in the league, and they made a good play.
