tl;dr

Nope we have to work with Moylan and Freeman, especially considering our salary situation right now. Hopefully Phillips can provide a spark for us and make it so we don't have to rely as much on Moylan and Freeman

That's pretty solid. Still think we need more help considering some of the youth and questions surrounding Vizzy, but it's hard to be too upset over anyone but Freeman and Moylan

Personally I think Ender, Ozzie, Freddie is going to be the lineup we go with down the stretch. Wouldn't mind seeing Ender, Freddie, Markakis, Ozzie either though

To further add to your point... Just last year Schoop was .293 with 32 HR's and 105 RBI's. This year he is batting .208 with 7 HR's and 18 RBI's. Mancini last year: .293 BA, 24 HR's, 78 RBI's. This year: .219 BA, 9 HR's, 21 RBI's Trumbo has been better this year than he was last year. Chris Davis hasn't been the same guy he was since his 53 homer season, but he can still swing the bat. He isn't a .300 hitter, but .153 is far off his .241 career average. Adam Jones... you hit the nail on the head with him. He's been a good player and that hasn't changed this year. This Orioles team has 3 guys (Schoop, Mancini, and Davis) that have been decent in their careers, but are struggling this year. They have the talent, they have just been very bad this year.

Another thread gone rogue...

Not ideal for a closer in late September/October games

FINALLY

I'm on your side. Julio SUCKS

There was the inevitable strike out

Or afraid of his teammates which will cause him to be a ball hog

I guess. Just like what Culberson has done over the past few weeks over what Santana did last night

Culberson took the place of Danny Santana, but why was Santana in the game to begin with? Should have had Culberson in from the get go.

We got excited, but youth and a bad pen have caught up with this team. Do not think we are a playoff team.
