I hope this isn't one of those games where we get shutdown by a terrible pitcher.

We had trouble with Minor before

Starting to look that way so far.

Everyone quick to jump on Bradish but offensively this team has been very so so lately esp the middle of the order.

[SilverRocket]

The three Reds hits so far have had xBA of .140, .110 and .100. The two fly balls would be caught a lot of days.

What a relief to have that end as a K. 

[O's84]

Good job to hold them there, but I'm worried about overtaxing our bullpen.  Bradish has taken 60 pitches to get through the first 3 innings.

Lots of deep counts and foul balls...

Well you know if Mountcastle doesn't swing at the first, he's def swinging at the second 

[Tony-OH]

Let me say this, if Mountcastle is not going to be smart enough hitter at this point to know that a changeup pitcher is going to throw him a changeup, well that's why he's a .740 OPs hitter.

The Orioles need more from first base.

[O's84]

1st and 2 on none out, middle of the order and nada.

Just awful. 

[Yossarian]

Making Minor look good.

[Yossarian]

We all know that the Bradish collapse is coming - need to cash in on these scoring opportunities. 

[Babkins]

I took one look at Minor’s 1–7 record and 6+ ERA in the game preview and I knew we were screwed.

[Tony-OH]

I wish someone would show Drew Rom a video of pitchers like Mike Minor. All you need to have some success as a Lefty is a good changeup even with a middle fastball.

Now we know what good teams most of felt like when the Orioles were running out Tommy Milone and he was having some success against them.
