This is my first time following Savant boxscore in real time, and they have Trey's 7th/9th inning PA's as the 1st and 3rd best exit velocities of the game.

The two batted balls had xBA of .730 and .450 but he was 0-for-2 on them.

That makes little sense.   Was a routine fly ball he just hit.

I like the way Tate is attacking hitters today.

As I type that, Laureano homers.  But I stick by my statement.  

[Frobby]

Pretty drama free ninth despite the solo homer.   Happiness abounds!

If you are giving runs, good to have it happened in a blowout rather than a 1 run game.

Another winning road series.

Out of last place.  (We have passed Tampa and would pass Toronto too if they lose to Atlanta).

O's WIN!!!!

This bullpen is allegedly a top-five pen, God save us from being a bottom-five pen.

Re-watched play and yep - thanks I think to direction being 1200 dead center.   Along with the .740 xBA, it says 109.3 MPH, 14 degrees, 344 feet

Would guess if he hit it anywhere but right at CF (Laureano took about half a dozen steps to his right in the couple seconds it was aloft), fair chance for extra bases.

Big throw by Mullins, and again - it was his speed that made that throw possible.

Hmm, wrong thread.
