Well my hope is for not Ryan Howard.

Webb looking just ducky.

Cionel in the 9th?

Be nice if Kimbrel pitched the 9th just to get some work in.

Webb is a beast again!!!

[Rbiggs2525]

For a Month or two last year Webb was our third best reliever. Then he just started walking people and giving up hard hit balls.

Teams are going to start adjusting to the Orioles aggressive approach.  I am sure the Orioles can adjust to the adjustment.

Hard to complain when we've scored 7 runs but Santander has hit well against lefties this year but pressing against righties.  Then again he didn't really get going last year until May.

As far as the other guys Gunnar is going through a soft patch but yeah I think he will make adjustments.  Hope the same is true for Cowser though the report on him was always huge ceiling with a high rate of strikeouts.  Cowser just seems like a streaky guy at least for now. 

And we need Cedric to get rolling again for sure.

The guys who are most impressive right now are Westburg and Mounty and Mateo to some degree.  O'Hearn more or less keeps doing his thing.

Well, he was ridden like Seabisket down the stretch, so that didn't help.

[Rbiggs2525]

Keep playing Mateo.

Tony Clark and his career 824 OPS should be mentioned.

He’s 32.  The idea that his athletic prime may be coming to an end is not an egregious one. 

If his prime is 40- 60 home runs with a .400 on base, there would be a gradual decline (you would think) not this. Where he is a liability in their lineup.

[Moshagge3]

Three of the top four balls by EV have been outs, all by the O's

[Moose Milligan]

Cowser has plummeted back to earth.

[baltfan]

Maybe sit Cowser for Kjerstad for a game?

 

[Roy Firestone]

Cowser needs to sit...hes just lost right now...
