The Orioles have been winning with Adam Jones out of the lineup so far, but it's still worrisome to see him out of the lineup for a fifth consecutive game.
If you watched yesterday's Orioles win over the Red Sox, one thing you could not help but notice is that the Orioles outfield was having some problems, defensively. Although Mark Trumbo was placed in left field because it was deemed the less demanding task due to the Green Monster requiring less range, this did not work out in practice.
What actually happened was that pop flies were duffed and caroms off the Monster were misplayed, with neither Trumbo nor center fielder Joey Rickard seeming sure of what to do about them.
