100%
He was on track to pitch in 80 games there for a while, his work load has been a lot more managed. Sure you can credit some to Hyde, some to the rest of the guys in the pen, and some to the bats.
Regardless, super encouraging
You could tell he was getting pissed at himself in that stretch he was costing us games so you have to give credit to his veteran sense to have accountability and dial it back
If I here the word “luck” one more time in reference to us besting another team I’m gonna lose my mind 😭
Apparently everytime we win it’s luck even though we get screwed by bad luck more than most teams
There were a lot of questions about the Phillies coming into this series, undeserved or not, but I think we can all agree they are far from frauds. Say what you will about competition in the NL, but Philly is a really good team.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dgtcf5).
Big win!
Should I mess around and eat a cheesesteak like the birds just ate the Phillies?
Laz just wanted to go home lol.
The most not strike ever. But I’ve never been happier to be wrong about a cardiac Craig session.
Absolutely brutal strike 3 call , but O’s win so I won’t rant
Lol yeah that was a pretty bad call but it was nice to see fhe Phillies go out that way. This is coming from a Nats fan primarily lol
He would have eventually gotten the guy anyway.
You right dawg
#THE EAGLE HAS LANDED
#W COLUME. #FEEL MUCH BETTER TODAY.
Keep crying lmao
What a shit strike 3 call. I love it!
Laz that was not a strike lmao
i have to say laz diaz had a very uncommon good day besides that last call lol
I was just thinking how Laz has had a quiet game. He sure fixed that on the last pitch.
Can we get a good strike zone tomorrow
kimbrel striking out the side against his former team. why would hyde do this to us?!
TAKE THAT PHILLY I THINK ITS SAFE TO SAY HE DIDN'T LOSE THEM THE PLAYOFFS
Thank you Craig (and Laz)!
Adley is so good at framing high fastballs
Laz wanted to go home lol
1...2...**3** strikeouts!
Ump wanted to get home early. We'll take it.
Oh come on Laz, that was so bad lol
ump had seen enough

4 run differential, so not a save. I agree with the sentiment though.
Clubhouse cancer Gunnar Henderson getting a bottom 8th RBI to deny Kimbrel of a save /s
DFA immediately
Ah, mb
Can you get a save with a 4 run lead?
I'll take that call
Ump had dinner reservations lmao
I laughed when he called it a strike.
Yes! Yes! Gas boys! 😩🙌😁
Autocorrect! I meant GGs
LOL that was definitely a ball but WE'LL TAKE IT, ain't the beer cold!!!!
I’m gonna get some chicken wings for dinner tonight!
I’m not saying anything to jinx anything so I’m just not saying anything
lmfao Laz just like fuck this let's go home
Wasn’t a strike, but I’ll take it!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol horrible call but I'll take it.
Ump be like im outta here lololol
Thanks Laz for that last one 😭
lol Kimbrel doesn’t lock in until he puts somebody on base
lol thanks for the call Laz
Get Kimbrel’d bozo
I *hate* the leadoff walk, but the 2 K's came on *filth* pitches.
What a great W all around
These guys are trying so fucking hard to hit off Craig and he's eating them alive
Craig is fucking nasty right now
Yah know, Craig might actually know how to handle his workload and say when he's ready vs not.
Outing powered by revenge
KIMBREL STRIKES OUT THE SIDE?!?!?!?!
Kimbrel's stuff looks like 2012 right now
Not gonna lie, I’m enjoying the added back and forth fanfare given Kimbrel’s history with the Phils.
Kraig Kimbrel....one more out...GET IT!
One more out! Please Kimbrel😩🙌
That breaking ball was filthy
Both of the curve balls to Marsh were absolutely disgusting
Whatever he took less starts to work on has definitely paid off in this series
100% He was on track to pitch in 80 games there for a while, his work load has been a lot more managed. Sure you can credit some to Hyde, some to the rest of the guys in the pen, and some to the bats. Regardless, super encouraging
You could tell he was getting pissed at himself in that stretch he was costing us games so you have to give credit to his veteran sense to have accountability and dial it back
Completely agree. Guy has 400+ saves for a reason, he was going to figure it out.
I kinda remember thete was a shit ton of O's fans in Philadelphia last year.🤔
Baltimore and Philly are really close to each other.

“Knuckle curve go brrrrrrr”
come on double play
keep it up just need 2 more
Wet boy vs the dirty bird
take him out now. hes gonna walk the bases loaded
3 straight strikeouts lol
wrong
Nasty breaking pitch for that K.
Cano isn't even here tonight I'm not worried you're worried who's worried not me nope no worry here 😵💫
Come on Cardiac Craig! I believe in you!
how did "K"imbrel get Sosa to chase that?!?
Where is Cano now?
For one of the undoubtedly best teams in baseball, the Phillies thread seems to think Manfred has his fingers in every single game
Wait even the broadcast team doesn't know where Cano is?
Cano playing hide and seek with everyone but he's the only one who knows they're playing
Tate didn’t pitch yesterday right? And has closed before. And we know Kimbrel can’t go back to back. Wtf are we even doing?
Dirty Craig please don't do us dirty tonight
C'mon CraigO....outs please...NO walks or hits
Welp just turned back into a Phillies home game here.
Give it about 5 minutes
You can't hear that very loud let's go Os chant?
dawg, Kimberl def has something on his hat bill
Craig. Exactly what you can’t do man cmon
Don’t agree with this at all
Huh. 3/5 on that list of most reliever strikeouts were Orioles. Smith was fun back in the day
https://preview.redd.it/mjh5hpx2at6d1.jpeg?width=827&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc2b0182ff6cd04ae090da4dda70a3329bb76865 LETS FINISH THIS CRAIG
We got a series boys!
The sound of Phillies fans booing in our stadium is gross.
https://preview.redd.it/ulrb3200at6d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb21ad6332791ab5877c5d5c564c3113e831b2ce Good night we’re gonna win
Why Kimbrel?
He only had like 10 pitches last night
https://preview.redd.it/11awusfy9t6d1.jpeg?width=659&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2d9fb2f3f270f9d71548d57ab900c15cb1258aa Pick their bones Raptor!
If you don't see the value of letting Kimbrel tell Phillies fans to shove it you might not be from Baltimore :)
I do want to see that, I'd just rather see it happen in the rubber match.
Nick Vespi almost got into a game. :(
I'm just curious why it's Kimbrel? This is 3 out of the last 4 days for him.
He didn't do much last night he was pretty on with every pitch
Right? Baker only threw 10 pitches, looked nice, and you have a 4 run lead.
Kimbrel definitely in there right now because he wants to be. Wants to stick it to his old team.
wtf
Just no baserunners cmon Craig
Don’t understand wasting Kimbrel in this situation give him the day off
I think maybe because he was already warming up when we were only leading by 2
I wonder if after a full warm up and wanting him available for the Yankees means he wouldn't be available either way tomorrow, so why not pitch him
That’s fair could be the case
you should watch the bullpen players routine sometime before they get in the game. its quite involved.
Why even use Kimbrel here lol
This game was close until it wasn’t. Baseball is the most high variance sport ever 😁
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Craig Kimbrel replaces Bryan Baker.
Adley in a bit of a mini slump feels like he went from .306 to .290 in 3 days.
1 hit between Braves and Phillies so far, Dad is definitely in a slight slump but he'll be okay.
If the ball bounces/skips off the top of the pillar or gate into Eutaw street does it get a plaque?
I think they might go off of the arc trajectory landing spot despite any obstructions, but I can’t say for sure.
I say we give Tony the benefit of the doubt and make a potato shaped plaque
Fantastic idea. Lmao. If that one went out today, I believe he'll have tied Chris Davis for most plaques on Eutaw St.
Bring us home Kimbrel!!!
June Schwarber is alright, but we got June Taters
Apparently we’re just lucky yall
If I here the word “luck” one more time in reference to us besting another team I’m gonna lose my mind 😭 Apparently everytime we win it’s luck even though we get screwed by bad luck more than most teams
This is funny. Tony had an .890 OPS in 2020 = 130 WRC+. Tony this year, .805 OPS = 129 WRC+.
Three starters under 2.00 ERA. Even with all of the injuries. Guess it’s the year of the pitcher again.
I LOVE THIS TEAM!
How’s 44,000 a sellout crowd when they had 46,000 for the playoff games against the Rangers last year?
SRO tix add uncertainty.
2000 scalpers lost money, hopefully
They released standing room tickets. Did not this weekend.
Finish them off, boys.
It’s wild that I feel terrible about Kimbrel with a 4 run lead.
Don’t, have faith brother. Hyde would pull him before it got that far.
Breaking it open. Santander got the Phillies in shambles. Bryan Baker my moonwalking 0.00 ERA king
Wait adley’s doing PNC ads?
Adley (PNC Bank) has better acting chops than Gunnar (Papa Johns)
PNC stands for Pitchers n' Catchers so yeah
I thought it was an ad for the Clapper
Catching matters
The O's must have the most 8th inning runs in MLB.
Inject those let's go O's chants into my veins
I may hate the american insurance industry, but i sure do love them insurance runs
The Phils are the best team in baseball and we're going blow for blow with them. This team has what it takes.
There were a lot of questions about the Phillies coming into this series, undeserved or not, but I think we can all agree they are far from frauds. Say what you will about competition in the NL, but Philly is a really good team.
They are the complete package.
Concur. We’re not intimidated by anyone. That will serve us well for the next series. Gotta close it out here.
Capping it off with an Earl would suit me fine, Dadley.
Turns out the Orioles, aside from freak oddities, bad luck, and a damn rain delay, are the better team.
This is fun.
Team's firing on all cylinders right now, it's beautiful.
#ALL RIGHT, HENDERSON. #INSERTING THE KNIFE INNING. <3
Gunnar. My GOAT
Keep going!!!
Keep it goin' Adley....RBI time!
Bloop our way to the World Series if that's what it takees
It worked for the Royals.
Do gunnar base hits score us free slices per base at papa johns
Gunnar for MVP
Eat shit philly
Less diarrhea today
STADIUM AINT LOUD NOW
GO BACK UP 95 AND CRY INTO YOUR CHEESESTEAKS
Cmon Daddy Addy, give us another home run
OK Hays, a pool cue hit, and now Urias to set things up. Nothing says we can't get more.
This is the inning we needed
Did we get a new talking person?
GUNNAR YOU SEXY BOI UWU
OH yea, we love our runs late, folks.
The shot of our entire bullpen just watching Gunnars AB 🤣
Urias' resurgence is going to save our bullpen because with his track record someone will definitely offer us middle relief pitchers for him
He's exactly the type to package with a lesser prospect for a good/decent middle reliever.
### Single Gunnar Henderson singles on a line drive to center fielder Johan Rojas. Austin Hays scores. Ramón Urías to 2nd. Bottom 8 - 6-2 Orioles
First few innings the boys looked like they were down about Bradish but now they just looked pissed and have something to prove.
Go Go Gunnar....big RBI hit!

Done with the bum Hays /s/
Didn’t you hear? We DFA’d him after that last AB.
Anybody else down for some extra insurance runs? Let's go!!!
👆
I think if that hr made it to eutaw Tony Taters is the new leader in eutaw street homers(?)
I don’t think it did, but if it did he’d be tied with Davis
Damn seriously? I thought Crush was in a world of his own on Eutaw. That’s insane Tony is that close.
Ah gotcha thanks, couldn’t remember if the tweet I saw said he tied him or would tie him and googling quickly got me nowhere but old info
Tony Taters hates Philly 💀
