I’m just surprised Roch was allowed to acknowledge that it’s past time for Westburg to be called up. He must be coming soon. 

Maybe he wasn’t allowed and this is what rebellion looks like.

There was some debate last year on here about Westburg playing short in the majors. I think it's pretty clear now there are several in front of him there. It may come down to Ortiz or Westburg at second with the other being traded or moving to third in the unlikely event the Orioles move Gunnar for a No. 1 pitcher.

    • Are you directing that at me?    
    • I think probably what’s bothering people the most is that Holliday was hitting unbelievably well as of his call-up (.333/.462/.595), and he hasn’t been at that level of domination since being sent down (.259/.437/.445).  Plus, his K rate was 14.3% before the call-up, 24.2% since.   Bottom line, his meteoric ascent last year and his fast start this year set crazy-high expectations that he’s not quite meeting.   Personally, I’m not worried at all, but I’d like to see his post-return BA back in the .300ish range before I’d be clamoring for another call-up.   
    • I didn't say he was good.  I don't trust Akin with runners on. And certainly not in high leverage situations. The numbers show that as much. His numbers against lefties don't matter if he melts down when runners are on.  If they were that worried about a lefty masher Garver and know how bad Akin can be in these types of situations, then why put him in with Garver on deck?  I guess, to me, I leave Baker in. If he gets out of it, then Akin can sit down or if he comes in...pitch around Garver. The hitters after him aren't exactly Murderer's Row. Look at how he performed with nobody on vs. runners on (bases clearing double, 2 run homer)
    • I meant for both. Although thinking about it, Texas would probably want Beavers, they have the corner OF spots covered.
    • Yeah. Not your fault. Poor way they handle it. Don’t get it. 
    • Your link does say inherited runners allowed to score but that’s not accurate. I don’t get why they have it incorrectly listed that way. 
    • Do they? Is it? I'm pretty sure we've gone over the whole strikeouts don't increase pitch counts thing a hundred times. I think if managers wanted starters to go deep in games you would see more starters go deep into games. Is there one team in the majors in which the starters are going appreciably deeper into games? Baltimore is fifth in innings by starters.
