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.

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.

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

Honestly, he hasn't had good location all night

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      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.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers

      I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
