While I think they would prefer to wait until the Super-Two deadline next month, I don't think they have a choice. The starters have not been as effective as last year and he's mowing down folks in AA - it's time to challenge him and time to give the team a jump start. When Chen comes back, he can always be sent down to work on a couple of things learned from his stint in the bigs. He'll finish the season with the squad and be front end by 2015.
Nice rebound.
Yes. Better.
Had the most annoying people next to me at the game last night. They took a million pictures of each other blocking my view, did not pay attention to the game at all. Never clapped. Talked constantly leaning forward blocking my view. Even after I said something about them blocking my view..they stopped for 15 minutes and started doing it again. They didn't even stand up for seventh inning stretch. Why did they even go to the game?
Winning the series does soften the blow. Was a terrible homestand, nonetheless.
For the nice background for their facebook picture posts.

Maybe it was for the hot dogs. the guy next to me had 3 hot dogs. and one of the women gave me a dirty look when I joined in the "Yankees Suck" chant.
My wife refers to ballplayers as "overgrown boys". That pic does nothing to dispel of that notion!
AJ's shoes are nice. Can't quite see them in that pic, tho.
Manny Machado has three hits in each of his last four road games. According to Elias, the only other player younger than 21 with a streak of four or more consecutive road games with at least three hits was Ty Cobb, who had five straight road games with at least three hits from Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 1907.
Manny> Bryce Harper and Mike Trout.
He has 21 doubles!

Yes, because doubles are the measure.
On the plus side, for everybody except Russell Branyan, doubles are a sign of future homerun potential in young players. And, of course, lost power in ageing players…

Well third base is an harder position to play than outifeld. Manny is winning because of his fielding not because of his doubles. Anyway all three appear to be great players. No need to compare.

Of course there is. Through their first 98 games:
Player AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB AVG OBP SLG OPS
Trout 359 71 107 21 3 14 49 26 .298 .357 .490 .847
Harper 379 65 95 16 6 12 36 13 .251 .326 .420 .746
Machado 394 56 117 29 5 12 54 4 .297 .329 .487 .816

Promise me you O's fans will keep this comparison up, because we all know what Trout did after his first 40 game call up in 2011. That's where he will separate himself from this pack.
Here's his 2011 season:
G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB BA OBP SLG OPS
40 123 20 27 6 0 5 16 4 .220 .281 .390 .672
And he still led the other two in most categories. So I look forward to the next 50 game comparison.
FIVE

Time to make O'Day the closer? Matusz?
Closer by commiittee?
