    O's need Manny back at 3rd, Schoop is awful. He cuts that ball off and it comes down to Nava. That throw home by Schoop was piss poor as well, he doesn't have the arm that Manny does. Slide Schoop back to 2nd where he is a better fit and Flaherty can stick around to give guys days off which is something they should really do considering how Buck played all those guys basically everyday last year.
    I'd have Lombardozzi and Flaherty playing, and leave Schoop for the bench or have him DH. The game against the Jays two Fridays ago was lost with those three out in the field with Hardy hurt. Two bad throws cost them the game.....well, and the lack of offense against Dustin McGowan too.

        I think you send Schoop back to AAA over him just sitting around so he can play everyday.

          I rather keep Schoop and Lombadozzi and just let go of Flaherty if he has no more options.

          Schoop shouldn't sit on the bench if it comes to Lombardozzi and Flaherty. Send his ass to AAA and have Cruz DH with Lough in LF

              lol, AL West
              The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept.
              As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!
              If only I had died instead of you
              O Absalom, my son, my son!"

                Bryce Harper out until July.

                Meh, just hope Williams has the common sense to hit McLouth leadoff against righties.

                      Yea, because it's not like McLouth has done it the past two seasons.

                          McLouth fucking stinks. Have fun with either he or Span atop your order for the rest of the summer.

                                Agreed. I'm guessing this is a rookie manager mistake. However, it's not a good start to Williams' tenure here in DC. I find it extremely unlikely that Harper will be the one who "loses" on this one.
