Love seeing 2 aces face off.

If we face the Tigers and Skubal would you use Burnes in Game 1?

When I sat at 1st base and watched Corbin Burnes pitch last Friday, his cutter/slider was curving and divingbombing to the inside on left handed batters. It was truly a sight to see live and in person. The spin was amazing.

Pitch count still good for CB.

No,   I’d let Eflin go on normal rest and save Corbin for game 2.    I ain’t fraid of no ghost!

I think it depends on the schedule of how much rest he's got. Hyde/Holt/Gonzalez/Elias/Sig/Rosenbaum can figure that out and I defer to them (especially Hyde & Holt), but I'd say if he's your Ace, you let him start game 1 under normal circumstances.

I wonder if the coaches/management sees this as an opportunity for Adley to get some more experience/attempts at timing up Cole before the playoffs. Kind of like practice.

Not against Cole specifically but more at bats in general I guess.  I'd rather see Emmanuel Rivera DH over Adley at this point.  To be fair Kjerstad hasn't hit that much since he's returned either.

[Roy Firestone]

take some damn pitches!

Absolutely, he gives the O’s the best chance to win.  It’s a best of 3 series.

Corbin in some conversations in the dugout.

[slakattack]

Just a single, Tony.

Probably incantations to get these dildos to score him some runs. 

[Jagwar]

Tony just doesn't seem to be seeing the ball well from Cole tonight

[Sports Guy]

They just wanted Burnes to get a tune up tonight.  That seems obvious. 

[Moose Milligan]

Hell of a take.
