Do we EVER get Freeman out?

Does anybody consistently?

This game is dildos. 
 

Smokey and the Bandit is on Netflix, FYI.

My dog likes a set routine.

My dog likes to pee on fire hydrants and pop corn bags.

we simply aren't  CLOSE to as good as the Dodgsrs.and we miss Kershaw too...just not a good matchup...

The Dodgers are good enough to beat any team.  It doesn't mean the Orioles are suddenly a weak team.  There's no way the O's would have an easy time with a team with that lineup -- nor will any other team.  This is a good wakeup call for the O's that they need more pitching -- and gives the young players a taste of what it's like to play a World Series caliber team that's starting to peak.

Man if only we were able to face the Orioles pen tonight.

Just got out of the pool and checked the score. Looks like babying Wells worked out great.

I think there's opera on PBS tonight.

Maybe it's time for Wells to put a ball in someone's ribs.

Love how Brach is getting all "Kids these days..." about throwing inside. Dude, you retired two years ago.

[Gurgi]

Wells is pitching like his wife left him for another woman.  

[slakattack]

Ben going on and on about Wells never pitching inside...this is a mystery to Holt and Rutschman?

[Dunk35]

Wells has thrown a thousand pitches this inning. 
 

Adley gets lazy too often

They have the track record to show they are that good even if the Braves are better. Would have to beat one of those two four times in seven games to win the WS. Not happening even if we traded for Ohtani. And that's after getting past Houston, who has the same pedigree. Throw in Tampa too. It ain't happening this year.

I STRONGLY disagree with this assessment. No we don't have the talent yet to beat/be favored in a series against the Braves this year (who does?) and probably not the Rays either. But the Dodgers? Just because they beat us in a couple of regular season games I am not ready to crown them with anything. If we made the right moves at the deadline I would love our chances against them.

Well wells that was not well.

I blame this performance on Ben calling Wells "The Ace of the Staff" as the game started.
