We stayed in Paddingto, 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. 

You are making me want to go back. Badly. We have a place to stay with a friend in Shrewsbury and we just take the train from there (she lives downtown just yards from the station). London was great, though. Our girls were 10 and 15 and being musicians, we had to do this, of course. 

Whew, that top of the fourth was brutal. Of course, we can chip away at Bundy to get some of that back.

Bundy still in?

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

What, hes pitched how much in his minro league career? I hate that GD excuse. Do your frickin' job. You are in the major leagues, what's the learning process? Don't just suck after your team gives you a six run lead? 

Bradish literally crapped his pants when his team gave him a 6-run lead. He did it in the 4th inning after needing just 35 pitches to get through 3. 

That's in between the ears stuff and that's worrisome. He's not some 21-year old kid. This can't happen.

Jorge Mateo leads the league in line drive percentage?  That can’t be right.

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

Maybe, but I'm sick and damned tired of every prospects, every guy we want to count on eventually just sucking. I get it, we;re Orioles fans I should be conditioned, but big league pitchers should not lose their location like that after cruising for 3 innings.

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'm not going to torpedo the kid yet.  He's got time to grow and learn to deal with adversity in the MLB. 

He's got a lot of potential.  With experience, he'll develop a thicker skin.

I agree, it's a crappy performance after your offense gives you the lead. But I'm willing to give him a little more slack than I would to someone with more experience

Love it. Lady luck is smiling on us.

Honestly, he hasn't had good location all night

please keep Bundy in the game.

Hey, look, the Giant Wall and Great Void in left field generated a run!

[Frobby]

That bloop to LF probably would not have fallen in last year.   

Nice hitting by Hays there.

Have to say I didn't see that coming

Thankfully we are facing Bundy who is just terrible.
