As a team, the Orioles currently rank 4th in xwOBA at .342 (lg avg: .322). Our wOBA is 9th at .327 (lg avg: .316). Normalization of the team’s walk rate should provide a tailwind going forward. -
Westburg’s whiff rate is high but his strikeout rate is only 18% so it looks like he has a better approach with two strikes. Cowser has a beautiful swing but it’s like he tries to keep it level on low pitches instead of using the Tony Taters approach of letting the bat head go into golf mode. -

Just a statement of how good this lineup is. Cowser will have a lot of RBI opportunities. With all the “starters” starting and Adley at Catcher, our 6-7-8-9 is Cowser, Mullins, Westburg, and Holliday. Also, the league is tough and I’m sure they will adjust to whatever has been working for Cowser so far. -

By saying he is no Machado do you mean after he catches the ball he does not read the label on the ball and gun the throw to first? -

A small run of guys maybe around Povich's general level are having MLB debuts around now, in some instances as injury fill-ins - HOU Spencer Arrighetti, CHW Nick Nastrini, TEX Jack Leiter just announced. High above, PIT Paul Skenes could be any day now, unless he needs to work on the Super 2 stuff as well. Roster Resource actually has Pittsburgh momentarily on a 9-man bullpen, and nobody listed for Friday night when they open a home series with the Red Sox. Hmmm....
