After years of ineptitude I just expect O’s pitching prospects to not pan out as starters (at least with the O’s).  In my opinion, failing to produce solid starting pitching has been more about poor prospect development than getting talented arms in the system.  If Elias and co. turn pitching development into an organizational strength we could really have a sustained run of winning baseball.

Good Lord, this inning is very deflating as an Orioles fan. We get a young pitcher, he gets a 6-run lead and just craps his pants.

Hyde waited too long to get somebody up in the pen.  Should’ve happened 2-3 batters ago.

Way too long. It's pretty obvious that Bradish lost his edge when he got the big lead. He's been awful. One of the worse meltodwns I've seen in some time. Really, really piss poor to give up 4-runs after your team goves you 6.

We're dead.

I was there in the Fall of '18. We spend 8 days in England going back and forth between Liverpool, London, Shrewsbury and everything in between for some gigs our family band played) and just 20 minutes of light rain. I'm told it's hardly ever like that. 

We stayed in Paddington, had fantastic weather. It had rained every day the week before we arrived. We didn't see rain for the full 17 days, gorgeous weather. 

One of the things I did was rent an acoustic guitar so I could play in Hyde Park. Not busking or anything, just wanted to jam for a while in a beautiful park.

These are the kinds of games that make you wonder about the "in between ears" thing. Not sure how you need 35 pitches to get through three innings, get a six runs lead, then just lose it. Might explain why the Orioles were hesitent to bring him up to start the year.

Everything was up. Even with good stuff you can't be successful with bad location

[mrbig1]

I rather have Fry in now.

Well that was a break!

Possibly... or maybe it's just part of the learning process for a prospect?

Bradish gets lucky or he may not have gotten out of that inning.

The long wait between innings could have thrown him off.

Lol, Bradish got so lucky there. They were hitting rockets off him all inning. Embarrasingly bad inning from the rookie. But, we're Orioles fans, we're not allowed to have good things. We can;t have a rookie who gets a six run lead and goes back out and puts a zero up.

Nope, we get rocket man up there throwing middle o the plate garbage that just cranke around the stadium. Can he stop it, no, it take luck to get him out. 

A really, really disappointing inning for Bradish and it certainly makes me question his makeup.

I think you’re getting too worked up about this.   But it wasn’t enjoyable to watch, for sure.
