Wednesday Afternoon June 21: Orioles send the MLB WHIP leader to the mound to try to sweep the Rays

Thar was way low Umpire

This Bradley kid is dealing!

Hopefully one day one of our pitching prospects can turn out like that. This kid they have is looking like what I hoped Grayson would be. I’m very impressed.

Typical Rays. Unlike the Orioles they know how to develop pitching

Nice job by Wells. Really just a couple bad plays in one inning. Maybe the moon start time flummoxed the team who knows. 

[dtk9119]

Gotta give Wells credit.  After the one bad inning he's refocused and settled down. Saved the bullpen in the process. 

If only the offense could come alive late in this game. 

[Hank Scorpio]

Hey, he hit the ball!!!!

[Hank Scorpio]

Gunnar tagged that one.

[Billy F-Face3]

Gunnar is starting to wake up now 

[Billy F-Face3]

Umpire is so inconsistent 

[dtk9119]

Pathetic. That called strike 3 on Rutschman changed the whole inning

I tend to think the Orioles make a lot of those mental errors (on offense and defense), but that may just be the product of my seeing them for so many innings. 

Are there data somewhere comparing the numbers or costs of teams' mental/fundamental errors? 

Yes, I have to be careful because I really only see the Orioles closely and can analyze things I couldn't previously.   The curmudgeon in me says things are worse this year but it's probably around the same!!  Doesn't excuse fundamentals though.

Gillespie is back and right away starts the fire.

Gillapsie on the mound is the equivalent of waving the white flag.
