Cowser really need to stop swinging at the first pitch like that.

Eh, he got lucky he guessed right on a fastball.

Hays is a different guy.

For all the talk of sliders off the plate, I'd keep the ball elevated on Mountcastle.

He's pretty good at getting to the low ones.

He doesn't chase the low/away slider as much as he used to.  He murders it to right if it's up and away.  Up and in I think you can get him.

Hays is on a heater! Hays wants to be in the lineup more!

Thats how it works.

The Orioles needed some runs, so Colson Cowser said, "Cowboy Up!"

[Tony-OH]

Only 10.9% of balls hit at 37 degree launch angle end up home runs!

[Rbiggs2525]

Come on Kimbrel. No free bases.

He's got another month to collect data.

Do you think we will still be in the running to catch the Yankees in a month with our bullpen decimated by injuries by Elias doing nothing for a month???

Which reliever wouldn't make you nervous with a 2 run lead if you could pick any out of the pen?

[gtman55]

Kimbrel's gonna have a 1-2-3 inning.

I still think his prolonged slumps that happen every year are because he is playing through minor injuries.  This year he's attributing his bad start to losing a bunch of weight due to illness.  He gains the weight back and he's back to his old self.

 

We're more than deep enough now to let him take 3 or 4 days off whenever he gets dinged up, so maybe he can stay fresh for longer.

We will catch them by end of next week.
