G-Snarls

Yeah they had it wrong. LOL. I corrected it after I copied and pasted and realized it was wrong. You quoted me before I fixed it.

We need Johnson and Dickey to step up so bad it's not even remotely funny

Yeah he has actually been fine

Bluebird Banter: (with Bonifacio's first name corrected by me) As well, John Gibbons has said that, when Reyes does come back to the lineup, Jose Bautista will stay in the two spot and Edwin Encarnacion in the three spot of the order. It is the right move, but I didn't expect it. Gibbons, you are making me a fan. Anyway, our question of the day is: when Reyes returns, who should play second base? The choices are: Emilio Bonifacio: Emilio has been terrible, he has a .208/.237/.315 batting line, a -0.5 WAR. Fangraphs has him at a 1.0 UZR/160 which is ok. He made his first error since April 10th just this week. Occasionally I think that his bat is coming around but it hasn't. I'm not sure it will. Over the last two weeks he's hit .160/.192/.160. Munenori Kawasaki: He's been somewhat better, has a .214/.329/.275 line, and a 0.4 WAR. His defense at short has been ok, Fangraphs has him at a -1.5 UZR/150. The last couple of weeks he has hit .174/.321/.217. He's fun, but unless Alex can be bribed by Kawasaki Super PAC money, I think he'll be the odd man out. Maicer Izturis: Another disappointment. He's hitting .215/.253/.299 and has a -1.4 WAR. He has a -20.3 UZR/150 at second base, but that's in just 209 innings. Over the last couple of weeks he's hitting .237/.275/.263. He's been playing mostly 3rd, filling in for Brett Lawrie, but Mark DeRosa could play there. DeRosa has a 0.1 WAR.

ffs

Git him up here soon!

Was about to post. Davidi: @ShiDavidi: Terrific photo of Jose Reyes at plate MT @Williciousness Reyes made good contact, ran well, fielded smooth, today. http://t.co/Cfn9hu6RAl

The bullpen is very, very good The offense is good without Reyes and better with him The defence is sub par The starting pitching is awful. That's the area that needs the most improvement.

Can't wait till we play them again. With Reyes.

It was never a good idea. It was down out of necessity. And he stepped up big time. Kudos for him.

That's sickening

As if on cue, O's win in 13 innings http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2013_06_13_cinmlb_chnmlb_1&mode=wrap#gid=2013_06_13_bosmlb_balmlb_1&mode=wrap

Orioles have *7* players hitting .275 or better WTF???

Wow long games for A's Yankees (18 innings and A's win yeah!!!) And going to the 13th Boston vs Baltimore

AA will sign him for 1 year at age 38 or 39 as the "glue guy" right?

Nice try

Yep I can't believe Baltimore has 8 players hitting .265 or better

BJ Upton shouldn't have gotten the BJ Upton deal. He's not an impact player either.

Dammit and Ricky is making 7.5M in AAA What a f***ing waste of money

Big $ next year (over 10M) to all of Reyes Buerhle Bautista Edwin Dickey I think someone's gotta go

I now expect AA to buy out Lind's contract and then re-sign him, saving 1-2M over the two years. He has a knack for such things.

That includes picking up Lind's option and Rasmus' expected arbitration raise?

He has gotten better as the year goes on Defensively anyway. Still can't hit worth a lick.

Well Reyes helps by getting Izturis or Kawasaki to 2B and Bonifacio off the field entirely

Good pitching matchup for us tomorrow Buehrle with an extra day of rest vs Grimm, who hopefully we can beat up this time
