Reading Time: 2 minutes

Today on the show: The Orioles are back in first place and we’ll discuss their chances of staying there. Also, Jonathan Schoop is ready to play.. so why isn’t he playing? Bert will join us for some zaniness and we will be giving away a Buck Showalter Garden Gnome… but first in a move that everyone saw coming Delmon Young was DFA’d by the Orioles, who now have 10 days to try to work out a trade.

Leading Off

Tonight we are joined in studio by Derek Arnold, who is filling in for Bert. First up, why the hell hasn’t Derek been to more stadiums?

Just TWO tickets left to Obscure Orioles Night at the Yard, so get on that!

 

Goodbye, Delmon

We listen to the classic ALDS Game 2 clip to appreciate Delmon Young. We also listen to another ridiculous song by our favorite musician, this one about Delmon.

Should Young have been DFA’d? Was he the best option? Matt isn’t so sure. Should Steve Pearce, David Lough, or someone else have gone first?

 

Manny Freakin’ Machado

Manny Machado is having a great year. Every time he steps up to the plate, you feel like he’s going to do something special. Are we watching a blossoming superstar?

While we were talking, Manny made two incredible plays – watch them here.

 

This Weekend

Ubaldo Jimenez has been very good, Bud Norris has been very bad, and Miguel Gonzalez has been a little bit of both.

Chris Sale will strike out a bunch of Orioles on Sunday. Hopefully they can get the first two games in their pocket.

 

Ball Bag

What players do you associate with one particular play, good or bad?

Who will be the 1000th Oriole?

Do the O’s have too much money tied up in the bullpen?

Was Josh right about putting Chris Davis in right field?

Is Jimmy Paredes “lazy?”

Can Andy McPhail turn around the Phillies?

 

Win a Buck Gnome!

Tweet @Section336 show with what you would do with 336 Buck Showalter gnomes – the best answer will win one! (not 336)
