Not a good sign for the rebuilding

Hoey and Doyne, down. Shuey and Bell, up.

If this team is committed to rebuilding, giving up on young pitchers after one game (albeit a bad one) is not smart.

I'll tell you how naive I am

I saw that on Roch's blog, and thought it was funny he didn't mention which two underperforming vets were sent down or DFA'd. It never crossed my mind they'd be dumb enough to send those two down just days after they were called up. Did Doyne even get into a game?

Yeah

He pitched in the ninth on Saturday after Hoey had already screwed it up beyond any hope for a comeback.

Hoey was TERRIBLE on Saturday. No command at all. Still, give him some chances. What do they have to lose?

I'm still hoping like hell that they'll blow this up, it sounds like MacPhail's not even been officially announced as being hired, but this still seems like a typical shortsighted Oriole move.

Bell, okay

But Shuey? WTF for? Dude is sporting a 4.70 ERA in Norfolk. I could see sending Hoey down and calling up Bell. But this is plain old stupid...as usual.

second that

weird move overall. i wonder if mcphail is responsible for this call.

I seriously doubt it

with the move he's making on Girardi, I seriously doubt he's had time to digest all the ERA of our AAA relief pitchers.

um

this is the stupidest move yet.
Last i checked re-building meant going with a younger team not a bunch of old bums

We stink!

re:

Hoey was rushed last year, and the O's said they did not want to rush him this year. Maybe it is time to see if Bell has anything. Just grasping here.

Given that the team is likely to be a pretty sour place for a spell, maybe it's good to keep Hoey away. He need not be exposed to the aftershocks in the clubhouse. Hopefully the palyers will decide to grow up a bit and Hoey can come up later and join the adults.

There is plenty of time to bring him up.

Angleos and his O's are a disgrace to Baltimore
