I hope Baumann gets sent down when Bradish comes back.

I would say that there is a good chance of that happening.

[Philip]

Isn’t it a bit dangerous to throw Bradish against the Yankees?

”welcome back, now go throw against the Bombers…but no pressure.”

And we are off to the typical Baumann start

Does he not realize he's gonna be DFAed this week when Bradish comes back?

He hit a batter, got a lazy fly ball out, and gave up a half swing seeing eye ground ball single. How is that a "typical Baumann start"?

And...  a great changeup swinging K

We do know one thing, Baumann better not pay ahead for his May apartment in Baltimore. 

Lol

Ryan Ripken said Baumann has the best fastball in the entire system. No wonder he's doing a podcast now.

Why would you want Ramirez anywhere near a game that counted?

Because you want to save the other bullpen arms for smaller lead situations and with this big of a lead the Orioles are still probably going to win. Winning is what matters 

Ramirez can be used and dumped while the other guys rest and save bullets.

[Mooreisbetter27]

At least he got out of it 

[Dunk35]

Nevin v Baumann is the quintessential Oriole AAAA matchup.

No options left. DFA a certainty

No. Bradish is a big time pitcher. No need to fear any opponent including the Yankees.

He's going to be worth more WAR than Rodriguez this year, book it.

I hope Rodriguez recovers in his next start.

Well done Baumann.

With a 7 run lead, you dont go 3-0 on the number 7 hitter and then hit him with the pitch. Baumann knows better.

Is that John Lennon sitting by Cal?

As long as that doesn’t include Bautista and Grayson, that could be true. 

The problem for Baumann is the command and the secondaries.
