The more I watch Grayson the more I start getting concerned over the Orioles ability to develop starting pitching. How can he have no feel for a breaking ball still? 

Cause the Orioles developed him.

What a disappointment that would be

Rutschman is the least of my concerns. Every player including the best go into slumps.

[Moose Milligan]

Look at Mounty with his noodle arm. 
 

Needed a mistake by Arozarena to get out of the first and two great defensive plays to get out of the second. 

[ArtVanDelay]

If Hyde insists on DHing McCann vs lefties, why not have him catch and Adley DH?

Save Adley’s legs as much as you can.

[Moose Milligan]

I swear to Christ on the cross there’s nothing that infuriates me more than a one pitch out. Especially to lead off the inning. 

[Tony-OH]

Can we all admit, no matter what we think of Mountcastle as a hitter, that he literally has zero plan at the plate?

His plan is to hack away at anything.

Do we have any sort of offensive approach in this game?

Oh wait they have a real SP that they actually paid

[ArtVanDelay]

Didn’t realize how good Eflin’s stats are this year.  Of course the Rays give a guy 3/40 and turn him into an ace.

[Tony-OH]

Weird how all these good pitchers are drafted in the low rounds by teams. But don't worry, we'll trade for the Cole Irvin's of the world. 

I really do Elias decision to not draft pitchers high is going to cost the organization because he has shown no ability to target high level pitching nor use his prospect depth to do so.

[BraveOriole]

Offense needs to get going.

Every time I hear from people about how smart Elias and company are, I just always remember they are not even close to the Rays and Braves when it comes to drafting and development and actually understanding how to put a major league roster together that can compete with the best teams.

[Roy Firestone]

we have simply run into superior pitching.....and much superior teams...

What's the excuse for Hall?
