Ishikawa is a classic AAAA player. I watched him hit .250 season after season in SF while they were waiting for him to turn the corner. A .360 AAA hitter means he will be no better than a .250 hitter in the bigs. He's probably more expensive than than the other two who aren't on the DL…

He is probably better than mark Reynolds.. I guess he was insurance if Davis had problems fielding.

Depends on the AAA league. .900 OPS in the hitter-friendly PCL is very different than in Norfolk, which is an extreme pitchers' park.

Dickerson is really good. Coming into his own.
I like Pearce too.
Isn't Reimold still on the DL?

I think you just go with whoever is hot. Valencia is the guy now.
It's the middle of June. Of course Reimold is on the DL. And playing golf and going to prayer meetings with Brian Roberts.

"I go with"? I watch every single game. And have for the last 30 years. I definitely do not go with whomever is hot at the time. I enjoy watching the players succeed!
By "you", I meant Buck Showalter. Meaning he should play the hot bat. Which a couple of weeks ago was Dickerson and right now appears to be Valencia. Maybe at some point it will be Pearce.
I don't think any of those three will pull a McClouth out of closet and be anything more than a journeyman. Not that McClouth has completely advance himself beyond journeyman status either.

Good. Being as it's bitch day, I am just overly sensitive!
haha.
haha.
I totally got sucked into registering for the Orioles Casey Cares 5K in August. Home plate finishing photo? Yes, please.
Fun Fact Time!
Manny Machado leads the majors with 32 doubles and Chris Davis leads with 23 homers. According to STATS, the only time in the modern era of baseball that teammates finished outright leaders in doubles and homers in the same season was 1927, when Lou Gehrig had 52 doubles and Babe Ruth hit 60 homers.

Wow, Jake Arrieta vs. Max Scherer and Zach Britton vs. Justin Verlander.
Verlander: 5 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 5 K, 102 P, 42 B, 60S.
They don't play the game on paper.

No they don't. And Zach Britton came out with something to prove!
Has anyone been to Comerica? We are going there over labor day. Also hitting up the Orioles series in Cleveland (after Cedar Point).

Blue Jays are sending Dickey, Wang and Johnson against the O's this weekend.
You can't make this stuff up.

Amazing.
2 out of 3 versus the mighty Tigers. The Orioles keep on stomping teams down.

Huh Huh You said 'Wang' Huh Huh
Machado has played every inning since the Orioles called him up from Double-A Bowie, and he's hit second in every game this season. You may have noticed that the results are favorable. The experiment thus far has been a rousing success.
I hope this doesn't mean the O's are screwed.
