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.

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.

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

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

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.

      Soto has been fine since his first couple appearances and appears to be picking up steam. That makes seven. Problem is Cano has been the most reliable and all of a sudden looked terrible twice in a row. Hopefully he can get in one decent appearance in the final series.

      So It's 13 pitchers for the Wild card round? What position player are you dropping?

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
