Westy has really been struggling of late. He's flirting with being sub .800 OPS for maybe the first time since April.

Bochy knows Westy hasn't been hitting.

That's why it's descriptive and not predictive. There is enough advanced scouting on where to play guys and it doesn't take anything but EV and LA into account. You could hit a ball 100 MPH on the ground to 3B on 1 hop 100 times and make 100 outs but your xBA would be .600 despite being .000

Mullins, Cowser and Kjerstad are all in the lineup and people are still mad that Mullins is taking ABs from Stowers lol.

I'd like to see Gunnar hit something hard here. He's been slap hitting the ball all over the place not driving it.

Another Oriole in double digit HRs thanks to Ced.

This is the problem I have with xBA and expected stats. The ball Cowser hit had an xBA of .480, the RF moved about half an inch to make the catch.

Pretty sure it's 72 degrees in that dome.

Well the odds are pretty good he'll hold them there. He's kept them to 2 runs in 12 of 17 starts.

Too many balls out of the hand when he's up in the count. Slider is a ball out of the hand almost all of the time and he throws it way too often.

Roy that guy was batting .150 with a .370 OPS. It's hard to get those guys out.

Tick....tick....

Hard to tell but when he does he goes big. 7 runs 2x, 6 runs 1x. Let's see what he does here.

39 pitches 3 whiffs. Just not missing bats right now.

Rust from the layoff, young pitcher still learning to navigate his first full season. He'll be fine, but there will be ups and downs.

It might still be the Yankees right now, it was earlier in the day.

I mean, Rodriguez is just as likely to blow up every inning, so there is that.

That was hit really hard, I didn't think Ramon would score from 3rd and was shocked there wasn't a play at the plate.

Ask for more, don't settle.

Man, Gunnar is not hitting the ball hard since the break.

Get that pitch count up to get Scherzer out of the game!

Ask for more, never settle.

WHY THE HELL IS MULLINS IN THE LINEUP!!111

It was. Do you think I don't want him to succeed or something? I don't have the same type of feels you do about JRod. I want Cowser to do well in every game.
