My guess is that Travis will be the every day 2nd baseman. Barney will be the infield insurance and Goins will continue to work out in LF, where he will become the 4th outfielder. (5th when Bats returns) My uninformed eye tells me that Goins has a better arm than both Barney and Travis and I'm unimpressed with Travis' arm. Is this just me?

Is this just me? Goins does have the best arm of the bunch, I agree. If Goins gets some LF reps I'm not too worried about the logjam. I doubt we've seen the last of the injuries, plus Travis probably won't play every day and Donaldson may move to DH the odd game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Man, this guy is frustrating some days. It's like playing your third string goalie every week not knowing whether he'll hold his own or cough up a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Apparently Machado's appeal is set for Tuesday...13 days after the incident. Baltimore will be finishing a string against the Blue Jays and Red Sox, if the suspension is upheld the games will be against San Diego and Tampa. Way to punish those Orioles with a swift wheel of justice MLB. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Goins is the last man out as long as Tulo is on this team... I felt since last year if someone was expendable it could be Tulo for pitching depth, and that leaves you Goins in SS and Travis at 2nd, as mentioned Goins has the better arm. These 2 are young and they could build some great chemistry together now young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he gets SS, but 2nd base is going to be tough, someone has to be moved.... For now the guy who deserves to play is Barney, he has proven to be a solid player right now and it's hard to argue with that. I know Shaky isn't going to like it, but I am a Travis supporter the guy is going to be good, but Barney IMO right now is the guy who deserves to be playing. Funny you posted this I was going to post something similar..Im a huge Travis fan as well..but I agree..Barney is playing to well to keep out of the lineup for any length of time...They all are good..Goins with the arm..Barney with the glove and Travis with the bat...he has to recapture last year..if he can he will have the job at 2nd...if not...he could be expendable I fear...or could Tulo be on the block? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the league I play in over 30, I was able to hit off a guy who was throwing 85 I broke his no no hitting it between 3rd and ss, then also pulled one for a double in the gap in RC. I'm also hitting .643 after 5 games, don't mean to go off but I do believe I could hit off Dickey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyWalton Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Another thought..Carrera is playing so well now its getting hard to keep him out of the lineup when everyone is healthy and I hate when he subs/platoons Saunders with him...maybe its time to move Bats?

My scooter is a three wheeler, so I know I'd fit. I would wager on you, even in a walker, hitting that pumpkin of a floater Dicky tosses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyWalton Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) They will stick with Dickey until the game is frittered away and there is no coming back. I just have no confidence in this guy at all. Edited June 18, 2016 by ShakyWalton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just thinking that the bats are going have to cool down at some point and with Dickey giving up a run an inning so far.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
