Orioles keep platoon as playoff prep continues
Orioles coach Earl Weaver will stick with a planned platoon in the playoffs. He will start Vida Blue against Bing Powell and Ben Johnson, and bench Buck Williams in the lineup. Palmer will be the starter in the implied rotation, with Campbell and Jackson contributing in key spots as Baltimore seeks to halt Oakland’s pace. The article notes Blue’s win potential and mentions Campaneris producing runs for Oakland, while Palmer has two decisions against them this season.
