I'm not particularly fond of him or gregg

Even though Mark Reynolds is only hitting .198 he is still one of the most productive hitters in the lineup. I just would like to point out where he currently is in terms of Orioles hitters since he gets so much hate from all over.

1st in doubles
1st in home runs (tied with Luke and Jones)
3rd in rbi
3rd in runs
1st in walks


Although his OBP is only .309 that is pretty damn good for someone hitting .198 and he is also seeing 4.25 pitches per plate appearance which is pretty good. I believe he's hitting over .300 with RISP too.

All in all he's not doing too bad for a #7/#8 hitter. His defense has been sporadic as he will look great one play and then have an error on a ball right to him but overall it has been okay.

Robert Andino 3B
Adam Jones CF
Nick Markakis RF
Vladimir Guerrero DH
Nolan Reimold LF
J.J. Hardy SS
Mark Reynolds 1B
Ryan Adams 2B
Craig Tatum C



yes thats not an error

Reynolds is playing first base tonight

Makes perfect sense to me. With Reimold in LF you need Andino due to no other leadoff option since no spot for Pie. Adams rakes against lefties but he can't play 1B. Reynolds > Scott vs a lefty.

i agree, i kind of like it although scott is not playing.

He doesn't deserve to hit vs lefties.

damn.

that adams error was not that bad because it was a tough play after making a great play, but it came back to bite us.

Enjoying the backup catcher
