XBA of that ball was surprisingly only .150. Maybe Cedric had a bad jump?

Or maybe XBA is flawed. Seemed.like Cedric read it well. There have been a lot balls this year with weird XBA.

Coulombe looks like he wants to give up some more runs.  Guys seem to be hitting him fairly hard.

[Yossarian]

Nasty changeup

Could it be that the expectation was that Santander would catch it?

[Gurgi]

I am starting to wonder if Westburg would give the Orioles a boost at third.   I know long term Gunnar likely is better but Westburg is a legit prospect also.  And maybe Westburg would swing the bat once in a while?

I’m losing confidence in Coulombe

He was great in the last game vs. the Rays--really saved our necks and paved the way for Cano.

[Chavez Ravine]

Connor Joe is like the AI name for someone from Poway.

When is the last time the O's hit a home run????

Why is it right after we score we immediately give the run or runs back????

[FlaO'sFan]

Pitching  change.

2 games ago ADLEY reached Eutaw.

Eye test says Bae is good

Well that can’t be true since we’re 24-13. 

[TopGunnar]

Here’s my prediction. Won’t be long until we’re cringing when Danny Coloumbe comes in the game.

Less talented young players?   Guys like Coulombe who we got for a couple bucks?  Basically a waiver claim.  Do many really talented teams have a random slot in their bullpen for some guy like Coulombe?  He basically is like a rule 5 guy.   And most playoff caliber teams have no room for rule 5 guys.  

[Billy F-Face3]

He's out. Now Bryan Baker can pitch the 8th with no problem.
