I honestly can't believe Westburg has been as consistently good.  I kind of expected him to be a mid-high 700 OPS guy but he keeps playing like he might be an all star.

2nd in WAR to Gunnar.  Really happy to have him, he's a professional hitter.

NEED MORE RUNS!!

[Tony-OH]

Ok Norby, time for your 2nd career home run.

In some ways I could argue that Westburg is. the best ALL AROUND PLAYER on the Orioles...

Whose going to close?  Will it be Cano, Tate or Kimbrel?

I would assume Kimbrel.  14 pitches last night.

Certainly not Cano (26).   Webb threw 17 last night.

Hays to left, Cowser from left to right, O'Hearn's day is done.

How about Ryan O'Hearn?   5 tool player!   A homer, 2 hits, a steal, played a flawless RF.   (It helped to have a pitcher who didn't allow the ball to be hit out of the infield).

Hoping Hays PH for Mullins. Give us a chance to get another.

Norby looks comfortable.

Then you'd have to keep O'Hearn in the outfield with a slim lead.  Bad idea.   When you have the lead late, defense is more important than offense.

Kimbrel....OY

[Tony-OH]

Nice approach by Norby with two strikes.

[O's84]

Do you bunt here?

[Tony-OH]

Cedric is ummm.... due???

I would...

[Yossarian]

Anyone surprised Ced isn't bunting?

[Rbiggs2525]

You have to bunt him. I guess you could wait for one strike.
