The way in which in the Orioles have handled Chance Sisco this season has progressed from simply coddling a rookie, to deploying a strict platoon behind the plate, and now a full-blown misuse of the player. On Sunday, Sisco was originally slated to bat sixth in the O’s lineup, only to be scratched before first pitch in favor of Austin Wynns. Following the team’s 10-4 win, it was announced that Sisco had been optioned to Norfolk.
Sisco has not had a great season. In fact, it would be fair to say that much more was expected of the organization’s former top prospect.
