One Intriguing Move and One Dumb Move

The Orioles have called up one person in a very intriguing move. Unfortunately, they have sent down a player in a boneheaded move as well. The good news first. Manny Machado the clubs future SS and #2 prospect is making his MLB debut tonight. He is playing 3rd base and hitting 9th. So far he is 0-1 tonight, but let's not focus on that. This guy is our future. He is our top position prospect. Oh, and our infield defense @ 3rd base has been dreadful. Seeing Machado should sure be interesting.

I like the Machado move, but I do not like how he got here. Do you know who they sent down to get Machado up? STEVE JOHNSON! WHY?!?!?! The guy just won the game last night. He had a quality start. What does the poor guy have to do to get some love. He is an Oriole lifer. The fans love him. He is a guy that has earned his chance. Once he got his chance he came through. Keep him up! If you have to get rid of a pitcher, why not Miguel Socolovich. This move makes zero sense to me. I am a huge Steve Johnson fan and quite upset with it.

Machado just tripled! Again, he should be here! So should Steve Johnson though! Johnson and Machado yes. Miguel Socolovich and Kevin Gregg not so much.

Oh, and this just in, Billy Butler is really good at baseball.
