What a magic act by Danny Coulombe yesterday, entering in the 10th with the bases loaded and escaping without allowing a run.   Pop up, ground out, strikeout, boom!

Overall, he’s looked even better than last year so far.  Four scoreless innings, one hit, no walks, five strikeouts.  The movement on his breaking stuff has been excellent and he’s locating all his pitches.

DC pitched an inning for the Tides last night. 0 runs, 1 hit, 0 BB, 1K 

He can't arrive quickly enough.

 

77.5 mph line out (258 feet), strikeout, 96 mph double (11 degree launch angle, 193 feet), 79.9 mph soft fly out (206 feet).    Pretty good outing.

Coulombe's velocity is way down and he only got one whiff, so not sure if he's ready yet.

Maybe he could just use that knuckle curve the same way Britton used his sinker, or a traditional knuckle baller.  

Half-joking, but Coloumbe's curve is pretty nasty.  He was never really a velocity guy, but 88 or 89 is a pretty big drop from 91-92

I think his first outing, he was only throwing 80%. I think another rehab outing where he goes all out should happen. Pitch him tonight. If he’s fine, get him up to pitch on Sunday if needs be.

According to Roch, Coulombe is back. Awaiting the corresponding roster move. My guess is Burch Smith.

Update: As expected, the corresponding move for Coulombe is Burch Smith, but he's going on the IL instead of being DFA'd. Right adductor/groin strain.

      I imagine the goal is to get him available to just give them anything out of the pen in the wild card round. Depending on how that goes and if the O’s can advance who knows.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      The interesting thing about 1B is Mayo.     Elias keeps pushing Mayo at 3B.   But if Westburg is healthy he is better at 3B.   And they don't seem to play Mayo has much as they could at 1B where he might have a better chance at a regular job.    DH might be his best position. If Santander leaves, then Kjerstad probably gets an every day spot at RF.   Elias might want to see Kjerstad hit well in RF before he hands over 2B to Holliday.   Too many struggling rookies at the same time is not good for wins.   Mayo is  behind Kjerstad and Holliday IMO in getting a lot of playing time. However, developing Kjerstad, Holliday and Mayo  are key parts of the O's future no  matter how Elias develops them.

      Walker is definitely an upgrade over Mountcastle.  Walker has cleared an .800 OPS the past three seasons.  Mountcastle has only done it once -- his rookie year.  Plus Mountcastle hasn't even cleared 20 homers since 2022.  Mountcastle is good in a platoon, used against lefties, but otherwise he's fallen off. Walker is 33, which is a bit of a risk, but which makes me think he could be had on a short term deal.  That said I think the O's will have competition for Walker.  He's one of the most underrated bats in the league.   If the O's think Kjerstad can play 1B then I think they should maybe go with him and look for a new RF (unless they bring back Santander, which seems more unlikely now).  But I don't know about Kjerstad's glove there. Mayo's glove at 1B may be even more questionable than Kjerstad's.  Plus Mayo just hasn't shown he's ready with his bat yet.  I'm against assuming guys will figure out how to hit MLB pitching within a presumed timeframe.  Mayo hasn't shown he's there yet.  Let him work his way into the lineup rather than giving him a starting job.  But with him there's also the issue of where his defense plays best, or if it plays anywhere.

      So either Grayson won’t face hitters this year (ie he’s done for the year) or he’s in the pen.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      I feel better after getting a W against the Giants; somewhere along the way I had stated I felt we almost had to get at least one from them, and now we have.  However, lets not act like this one win means the offense has broken its slump and we're suddenly going to start rolling.  I hope we do, but we're one bad game away from feeling like we'll never score a run again.  If we go down 3-0 or something early tonight, it will be hard to resist the doomsday feeling - we're just as likely to get one-hit or something stupid like that tonight as we are to score 5 or 6 runs.  Its a tough schedule to finish the season, tougher than maybe we would have thought with Detroit playing so well.  Still not counting my chickens but yeah that W yesterday changed the calculus a good bit in our favor.
