Pretty decent line score last night.    Why’d they pull him?   

As BM noted, pitch count. By the time he came out he had settled down. It was strange, though, because at the start of the game I commented in the GT I thought he had pinpoint control. He got two quick outs and then it changed. 
 

I am surprised, especially with Cobb, that the pitch count is still under 100. Many vets have surpassed that.

[drjohnnyfeva]

Given the recent trades, pitch count might be "artificially" low for the vet because they want to deal a healthy guy...  With everything going on with covid, I'm sort of shocked there are trades going on.  Yet that's a two way street, I guess.  We benefit from offloading, especially salary like Cobb's, but the Marlins and others might have a need to on-load.  Hot stove in August.

Can Cobb continue pitching well enough to be a trade chip before the season ends?

[sylvester]

If he pitches well today, could he be an option for the Braves.   The Braves just lost Soroko for the year.

Soroka is a huge loss, but looks like they’re staying in house. 
 

“The likelihood is were going to go internal,” according to Anthopoulos.

Cobb cost himself 3 extra pitches in the 2nd inning by committing a throwing error. 

He struggled a bit with his control in the 3rd inning, but pitched himself out of what was a relatively minor jam.

100% of the outs that he recorded tonight (15 out of 15) came via the Groundout and the Strikeout.

 

 

15 OUTS: )  8 Groundouts, 7 Strikeouts

Like to see him get deeper into the game today, but he’s been good.

[Moose Milligan]

Cobb's been one of the surprises so far.  A good start tonight would help cement my thinking that he's having a turnaround season instead of just a good start.

Started out looking good until the error by Davis.

The Orioles are starting to get the Alex Cobb they wanted when they signed him

Boy it would be nice to trade him for a haul or get 2 seasons where he really anchors the rotation 

 

Im happy for Cobb and the Orioles

In tonight's outing, 65% of the outs that he recorded tonight (13 out of 20) came via the Groundout and the Strikeout.

In the fateful 3rd inning, Cobb was plagued by 3 infield singles, 1 of which probably should have been recorded for an out.

I think Cobb pitched much better than his line yesterday. 3 infield hits in one inning and a couple more later. Was very dominant outside the gopher ball.

Unfortunately, part of the reason for this is that our left fielder can't catch a fly ball.
