I think he's got another one in him. Got past the heart of the order too.

But how is throwing inaccuracy something the league has adjusted to besides them knowing they can run at will on him. Rutschman's accuracy has been awful this year. He's constantly short hopping throws or throwing to the wrong side of the base.

That's all on him. He's actually hitting better than he did as a rookie OPS wise.

It’s a fair point, and I’m really not sure. The pitcher/catcher dynamics are beyond my purview. And I admit it’s mostly the pitcher who runners could presumably adjust to.

But it’s not just his arm that has stagnated/regressed. His acquiesce to Felix throwing a non-fastball to Judge still sticks in my craw. Maybe he’s just a bit overwhelmed with all of his responsibilities.

But more than perhaps any Oriole I can remember, I do have faith he has the ability to fix it.

This game is one of those that you endure instead of enjoy, even if we end up winning.

So O'Hearn starts the 10th on second base and Mateo is up.

If Mateo can get down a sacrifice, then you've got Frazier, the Brewer-killer.

Not a great feeling about this game now.

As much as the leadoff walk hurt, allowing runners to run at will is an issue an that's in Adley. His throws were damn right awful. 

They'll def try it in the 10th vs Adley and the Mountain.

I've got a bad feeling about this bottom of the ninth inning.

Happy to be wrong Batista blazed through that inning. Does Voth pitch next if the game remains tied in the bottom of the tenth?

We need 2 runs to win because of ghost runner on the road. 1 run to stay tied after 10.

He's coming back out after just 11 pitches.

[Aristotelian]

Interesting, playing for one. I guess they keep FB in?

[Chavez Ravine]

Mateo needs to learn how to bunt.

Do you think he was more accurate last year?   Didn’t seem to be so.  People are talking about his arm but it really is just an accuracy thing.  His pop time is quite good.

we dont win tonight...

They've been pitiful all night 

Trout would not have hit Williams pitching like that.
