Why is Jahmai Jones in there and not Jorbit? Povich is left handed so I suppose that's the reason. Jorbit bats lefty. |

Why is Jahmai Jones in there and not Jorbit? I hope he hits the cover off the ball, but....A DH batting 8th? A DH with a career .203 batting average.

Terrible line up, but you have to use what you have. In times like this I like to bust out my favorite lineup of all time to note that things can always be worse.
From July 8th, 2013 against the Royals:
Brett Gardner CF
Zoilo Almonte LF
Robinson Canó 2B
Travis Hafner DH
Vernon Wells RF
Travis Ishikawa 1B
Luis Cruz SS
Alberto González 3B
Austin Romine C

The Orioles come into their 3rd series against the now 2nd place Yankees in the midst of Baltimore's 2nd mini-slump in the last 19 games. After and long hot streak where the O's won 19 of 26, they dropped 5 in a row. They rebounded by winning their next 6 of their next 7, but have since lost 5 of 7, and have just been swept by a mediocre Cubs teams in Baltimore. They'll have plenty of motivation to step on the Yanks for a 3rd series in a row, having won the first two series against them, and 5 games out of the 7. While most of the games have been relatively close, the fact remains that the O's have two blowouts against the Yanks, and the Yanks have none against the O's. In terms of runs for/against, the O's have nearly doubled the Yanks over the 7 games, 39-21. In short, the O's have had much the better of the play against the Yanks so far this year. Yanks have put J.D. Davis on the IL with softcontactitis and called up Jorbit Vivas, so he can sit the first game as almost every Yankee callup does.
