Why I prefer football, that lazy effort by Middlebrooks gets called out in the film room

The Orioles season is starting to slip away... What happened to their amazing and totally not a fluke ability to win every one run/extra innings game that they were involved in?

I know he's still very raw at third base, but I'd kind of like to see Bogaerts start for Middlebrooks against righties and Drew against lefties. Does anyone trust his defense enough at third base for him to start a game or two for Middlebrooks in the postseason? I would like to see that line up for the rest of the regular season. The more at bats and innings in the field that Bogey gets this year, the better for us next season. I'd also like to see Ortiz get some work at first base in the Colorado games. [/b] Love it. Thinking ahead to the World Series. That's positive tude Larry.

You have to start X because he's the only one without a hangover today. I guess Lavarnway never starts anytime ever at any position.

I guess he is a 40 man roster casualty, or trade giveaway after the season before the new one is set with Vazquez and maybe even Butler somehow sliding in above him with more options. Did anyone else notice that JBJ was the only player wearing PB (po boy) goggles last night on the NESN 2 hour special? Every guy I saw had those fancy pants Oakleys, except JBJ. Wonder how long until Boras has something to spout about his kid getting those cheapies (kidding)?

Middlebrooks at 1st? Excellent. Also, Drew can start thinking about whether he is taking that QO right now.

The regular nine probably won't play much on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

I would consider putting Clay on the three month "My neck feels funny" program every year.

Reasonably competent umpiring at home plate tonight. Makes for a nice change.

When X is playing short next year, I'll bet there are many times when we will miss Drew's defense.

By the way, what is up with the Blue Jays? Kawasaki is fun to watch as a defender ... but DH? Dude's got 77 wRC+!

Thats about as unearned as an earned run can be, two outs that should have been made. Thats being said they are squaring up on him pretty good this game.

Well this sucks. Bogaerts' double clutch (and then Shane not being able to catch Lind's missile) are going to cost Buchholz at least 15 additional pitches.
Edit: This inning's turning into a joke.

Shane is an excellent right fielder. I'd rather see him on the training table than in center, especially if he's going to bunting. JBJ can certainly do that.

At the game. Awful defense that half-inning cost Buchholz three runs. Good thing this is just the B team. Wish they clinched tonight.

Clay's BABIP on the season is hyperregressing towards the mean.

Thought we were talking defense. I love Xander's bat. He'll have to work hard to be average with the glove.

Drew's play lately (two great assists on the caught stealings tonight) coupled with Middlebrooks at first tonight makes me wonder if we should offer Drew a long term deal after all. --Now, another Drew hit. Professional.
