Sooner or later you get to a point if you wonder if you deserve to win a game ....Leaving a Marching Band amount of players left-on-base  .....SMH .

Just a painful game to watch unless you love pitchers getting outs with RISP. lol

Only when it’s the Orioles doing that.

Voth time. We'll see if his recent improvement is for real. Big test.

Man, the Braves drafted Strider in the 4th round and Elder in the 5th round in 2020 (Orioles drafted Mayo and the fragile Baumler and gave them over three times the amount of money). 

We discuss that Elias is good at drafting, but the Braves show how to draft a pitching staff. 

 

I will add develop too-draft and develop.

Mullins had a real nice take 2-2 to get to 3-2, but that was a nice pitch under the hands for strike 3. It's no fun, but I can understand just getting struck out with a good pitch vs Mountcasle swinging at 1-1 pitch at his ankles because he has no approach.

Good game by Wells. Pitch count too elevated because of the 0-2 to 3-2 counts. But we’ve played them extremely tough and our starters came to play this series.

It's always going to be frustrating when the Orioles leave a bunch of RISP. It's just a frustrating game to watch.

Definitely a very frustrating game to watch, for Braves fans too I’d imagine. And I think it’s just the nature of a game thread in general, but it’s also a little amusing

This is a frilustrating game but this is one of the best teams in baseball and the Orioles are hanging tough.

No doubt. The Braves and Ray are at the top of the game. I do think the Orioles have done a good job, but to be fair, literally Rutschman, who was a no doubter 1-1 draft pick, is the only guy Elias has drafted in 5 years that is performing well at the major league level.

Thats one way to spin the number one minor league system in baseball.  LOL

[Tony-OH]

The Braves, we'll draft Shuster, Strider and Elder in the 2020 draft and rebuild our pitching staff by 2023. 

The Orioles. We'll draft a bunch of hitters, stack them at AAA and move the left field wall back to attract pitchers. Then go out and get Gibson and Irvin.

Well, both things can be true.

They’re young at the big league level. Give it time.

He's not wrong.

Elias has shown a remarkable reticence toward promoting guys to the majors.  If guys hang out in the minors putting up big numbers it helps that system ranking but does nothing for the ML squad.

Good inning by Voth.
