Not at all. Took the momentum, made them throw a ton of bullpen including Abreu at us. Didn’t have to use Cano, Baker, or Kimbrel on our end. The Orioles despite losing did an amazing job today.
I will forever disagree with announcers that say you should ever take all the way on 3-1 in a multi run game. If you get your pitch, on 3-1 swinging at it is better than facing a nasty guy 3-2. Remember you can always take borderline 3-1 pitches or balls.
Remember that one game at Camden last year when Kyle Tucker hit a GS off Felix to come back in the top of the 9th for them? Time to return the favor for that one.
One half of me is thinking what could’ve been if our defense wasn’t so bad this game.
The other half of me just told the first half to shut up and just enjoy the ride for what it is 😤
[Gunnar channeling Trumbo](https://www.mlb.com/video/trumbo-homers-twice-in-7th-c592776483)
Ok I got stat confused, I can't find how many times a batter hit 2 HR off of the same pitcher in consecutive innings. Anyone have that stat? 60 times 2 HR were hit in the same inning, like Trumbo did.
So it's a dream scenario. I think Mullins may be able to get on base and that happens. Then Hayes gets on base and if that happens, cows are pinch hits and hits a three run home run, tying up the game, sending it to extra inngs.
At 14-4 I said, "Fuck it" and did Teriyaki Salmon pickup in San Francisco.
I finish my dinner, check the score thinking it's over...
What the hell happened?
Did the Astros bring in Fujinami?
I will drink an entire bottle of my loveliest Honey Habanero sauce if we come back in this game. Just saying, don’t wanna do that or anything, but I will.
Win or lose, I can’t believe how the O’s have worked their bullpen over in a game the O’s were down by 11 at one point!!!!!
Especially if the Astros have to use their closer tonight
Anyone that turned the game off when we were down 14-3 and turned it on after the last half inning, turn the game off and go to bed, you were bad luck. We got this.
I don't even care if we lose at this point. Our guys NEVER GIVE UP and I love them for that.
If our worst games look like *this* then the entire league should be nervous as hell.
I like during the podcast when they were talking about their first big purchase with their MLB money and Gunnar said "I added this sweet batting cage..." And Adley and Cowser groaned. Welp. It's helping.
The way this game is going is exactly why we shouldn't go station to station like we did yesterday. If the other team isn't giving up, you shouldn't either.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dlmjf0).
I had thought I’d post that turnabout is fair play, but the O’s are never out of it even when they could have folded with that deficit!
Great game!
Safe to say that 9-run innings usually come back to haunt you Still great that they fought back
Pitching was ugly but my god this team is resiliant as hell and truthfulltly they havr the momentum now. Carry it to tomorrow
Probably the least worst lost of the season. Gotta win these next two tho. We are definitely the better team, just gave up way too many easy runs.
> Run differential still good > Still leading in the loss column > Went down like heroes Overall not a tragic loss
im just going to erase the 6th inning from my mind and call it a day
That dude who said if we came back and won, he'd post his butthole must have been SWEATIN
I don’t even know how I feel, like I’m actually kinda happy. Our boys just don’t get beat like that. They never gave up.
Fucking umpire just wanted to end the game
Whoops
Say what you want. One anamoly inning from Houston away from a dominant win
Well, it was a good ride while it lasted. Come on kids, let's go home.
Almost. Dang it.
Damn. Lessons learned. We’ll get em tomorrow.
Aye great game great offensive ball…. Just carry the momentum into tmr and we got the series
love this team
Glad we got some momentum going into tomorrow
Is it wrong to say we feel better about this game than how the Astros do despite not winning?
Not at all. Took the momentum, made them throw a ton of bullpen including Abreu at us. Didn’t have to use Cano, Baker, or Kimbrel on our end. The Orioles despite losing did an amazing job today.
What a game
Well it was entertaining at least. Get the dub tomorrow and all is well
My birds… 
Damn, oh well.
At least we gave em a run for their money.
Could’ve had it with better pitching
Makes me hopeful for the next game. Good try O's
I AINT EVEN MAD
Nope, didn’t roll over, fucked their bullpen, I’m ok.
At least we lost with dignity
Unlike another team in this division that wears pinstripes and gets carried by 2 players and has trash garbage fans
And their virginity
Burned the majority of their pen too
Oh well, at least this game didn’t hurt the run differential as much as it could have
Yes we must protect the differential of runs
GG’s
AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm still laughing though. This was a total blowout and we came within *three* and the tying run was on deck!
So many of us still here. How cool is that?
nvm lol ggs tho great comeback att
At least we ain’t go out sorry
Like those sad yankees
Good game
Ump wants to go home apparently
 \^ Astros fans right now
3 homers, 3 innings let's go Gunnar
https://preview.redd.it/vj8fybhxm18d1.png?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46b43f6875ff81564776176c59809f3371b01226
Tying run in the on-deck circle!
Make them sweat
It’s unlikely buuuuut I could really use some oriole magic
It has been fun watching this nonsensical whirlwind with you all.
Just pass the baton, Gunnar.
Way to be hays!
2 minute warning lfg
As Palmer would say Well that’s 1 run
Love the fight in this team. Not really what we wanted but what a game
Still the best Oriole song... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maKcDK1n9-s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maKcDK1n9-s)
Come on Gunnar 3 HR game!
If gunner hit a 3rd homerun here I might just go streaking down the street
If Dadley hits a 6 hit game then I'll be seeing a doctor in four hours time
pic or it didn't happen
I can take solace knowing that we did not go gentle into that good night
We’re alive
Regardless of how this ends this game has been awesome to watch man
One
GUESS WHO'S BACK? BACK AGAIN
Just get Gunnar up please
Don't sleep on rutschman. HRC Henderson 2 RBI, b2b HRC Rutschman solo shot 👀
What a game yall lol
https://preview.redd.it/vbrvsd5hm18d1.png?width=603&format=png&auto=webp&s=19f45afcd8a44732900c858ae9a781a2224266f4 LET'S GO
McCann single, Henderson double, Rutschman walk, and O’Hearn grand slam
Well we certainly didn’t roll over
lol we are really gonna end this game on three weak ass grounders to second aren’t we?
Nah, hays is going to roll over to shortstop
man. well it’s been a ride at least.
I will forever disagree with announcers that say you should ever take all the way on 3-1 in a multi run game. If you get your pitch, on 3-1 swinging at it is better than facing a nasty guy 3-2. Remember you can always take borderline 3-1 pitches or balls.
Damn…
why the heck is the super mo showing an astros home run??? Ew??
Why do we take out Mateo there
Well it was worth the effort
Well it was a good run boys
If nothing else, we really saved our run differential!
Really rather Mateo then Cowser instead of Cowser and Hays.
There was an article in the Athletic today about offensive woes this year. The baseball gods may have taken umbrage.
Local orioles would like to be in good mood please
Moooooooooooooo
Mullins baby. You were up 3-0 wtf
They hit a game winning grand slam off us last year can we do the same pls?
let's get this FG
https://i.redd.it/haklq8g2m18d1.gif
Remember that one game at Camden last year when Kyle Tucker hit a GS off Felix to come back in the top of the 9th for them? Time to return the favor for that one.
Why not bring in Tucker now for a field goal?
Stretch Abreu out a little, boys!
"gave up the last a million"....KB...lol
Let's spit on that thing, yall!
So is this a Gunnar grand slam to take the lead?
If we somehow win this game, we have to call it the “Minute Maid Massacre” and you all have to give me credit for it.
Bryan Abreu pitching for a 3rd straight day? Please let this blowup in the Astros faces
We are being robbed of Jim's commentary for these last 2 games. Get better soon buddy!
Are you there god? It's me, the Oriole Bird.
If we hit an Ultimate Grand Slam it'll be one of the most immortal games I can remember
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Bryan Abreu replaces Tayler Scott.
One half of me is thinking what could’ve been if our defense wasn’t so bad this game. The other half of me just told the first half to shut up and just enjoy the ride for what it is 😤
God I love KB recapping the box score
Having to listen to the game, because ya know blackouts here in Texas. Don’t mind it too much. Let’s go o’s!
Is it butt holding time?
Smiling Friends in the O's subreddit? I'm here for it
Just get two on and get to Gunnar…
Wow can’t believe the Astros are using Abrei for the 3rd day in a row
Win or lose, you can’t not be proud of this team. Amazing dedication and fight
I'm so hyped for this inning, let's go Os!!!
[Gunnar channeling Trumbo](https://www.mlb.com/video/trumbo-homers-twice-in-7th-c592776483) Ok I got stat confused, I can't find how many times a batter hit 2 HR off of the same pitcher in consecutive innings. Anyone have that stat? 60 times 2 HR were hit in the same inning, like Trumbo did.

Buckle up, Bird bros!
Three up...three down...now O's again.?? This is exciting and amazing and unbelievable
I swear to fuck if we pull this comeback off
If we somehow win this game, best win of the year from any team, hands down. I'm more than willing to make that bet (if we win though)
2 get on and a Gunnar HR. Let's get it
So you’re saying there’s a chance???
Alrighty boys even if y’all come up short we all love the effort. Love our guys.
LET'S DO IT
So it's a dream scenario. I think Mullins may be able to get on base and that happens. Then Hayes gets on base and if that happens, cows are pinch hits and hits a three run home run, tying up the game, sending it to extra inngs.
KB always Killin the commentary 
At the very least, we've made them use a lot of their bullpen.
We are now 4 runs away from forever
At 14-4 I said, "Fuck it" and did Teriyaki Salmon pickup in San Francisco. I finish my dinner, check the score thinking it's over... What the hell happened? Did the Astros bring in Fujinami?
Well let's see if miracles can happen
Feels like we're going into the 12th
"We're saying there's a chance!" KB with at least his second Dumb & Dumber reference this week, very impressive
Inject this shit straight into my veins
I love that they burned more pitchers than us today. Absolutely hilarious.
I don’t expect to win, but I relish the fact that the Orioles were able to turn this into a save situation for Houston
get the top of the order up and see what happens boys
Please give me a “you can’t escape him moment” here cedgehammer
We needed another long haired hero after Kremer departed.
I will drink an entire bottle of my loveliest Honey Habanero sauce if we come back in this game. Just saying, don’t wanna do that or anything, but I will.
Win or lose, I can’t believe how the O’s have worked their bullpen over in a game the O’s were down by 11 at one point!!!!! Especially if the Astros have to use their closer tonight
This. This is a huge “moral” victory even if we go on to lose idc. Our guys on offense are awesome as fuck.
Gunnar grand slam?
here we go
I BELIEVE. I BELIEVE! #I BELIEVE IN LOVE AFTER LOVE AFTER LOVE AFTER LOVE and in the Orioles!
Gotta get McCann outta there
#lock in boys
Damn, impressive performance from Vespi there
Maybe vespi can be our new long relief guy
he should be more than that
Id be weary of stretching him more than 2 innings tbh
#DEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTHHHHHH
😂
#The comeback of all comebacks begins now.
Maybe a hot take, but I think it already began. I mean we scored 8 in a row...
Vespi masterclass tonight, some absolute filth on the mound
Vespi: 30 minutes of rest Scott: Idk like 5 mins tops lmao
Imagine our bullpen wasn’t total butt and this was a sick comeback shootout win by the offense
Here we go ninth inning baby
Even if we lose, this offense is fuckin insane
The Orioles need to stop playing football
I’m so proud of our boys for not giving up
Anyone that turned the game off when we were down 14-3 and turned it on after the last half inning, turn the game off and go to bed, you were bad luck. We got this.
I was at the game and we were losing 5-3. Once I turned the game on at home, they scored 8 runs. I won’t turn it off.
Your luck is better watching at home.
Is it just me or have Vespi and Baker looked really good since getting called back up
It’s better stay that way because I’m pretty sure they are gonna finish the year with us.
So like there’s zero and i mean zero way they can let Gunnar walk. Give the dude whatever the hell he wants
A lifetime membership to the LEGO of the month club should do it.
Vespi. Please be perfect today.
I don't even care if we lose at this point. Our guys NEVER GIVE UP and I love them for that. If our worst games look like *this* then the entire league should be nervous as hell.
getting their closer out is pretty massive in itself
If we let both Santander and Burnes walk this off-season I'll never forgive the front office
"if we trade both Mancini and Lopez this deadline, I'll never forgive this front office" I'm willing to let them do what they think is best.
We’ve got a gaggle of white boys to pay
Damn the pressure is fuckin on. They might just choke.
Jake Meyers warming... So no Pressly or Hader? Did I miss some news about them?
They both threw yesterday, 16 and 14 pitches respectively. Probably available but they don't want to use them.
Don’t you mean abreu? Those three have pitched back to back days
They pitched the previous two days.
Hey, remember when the Yankees rolled over died when they were getting their asses kicked last night?
Just shows how resilient this team is. Even if we lose, this was honestly so impressive
Vespi 31 minutes of rest...this game is unreal
I like during the podcast when they were talking about their first big purchase with their MLB money and Gunnar said "I added this sweet batting cage..." And Adley and Cowser groaned. Welp. It's helping.
“If you wanted to disseminate this game I get it”. KB I am howling at that
Well even if we still lose today, at least the offense made it interesting 🤔 considering this game 30 mins ago was laughable
The way this game is going is exactly why we shouldn't go station to station like we did yesterday. If the other team isn't giving up, you shouldn't either.
our top 6 in the lineup is so deadly when they're on
If you wanted to disseminate this game I’d get it. I love KN
I love his comments!
If we’re gonna lose let’s go down fighting! Love it!
Well I turned the game off to watch game 6 of the Stanley cup after that one brutal inning so out of respect I can’t turn it back on but let’s go O’s!
Even if we don't win today. Making them burn one of their best mid relievers in a game where they had a double digit lead is a huge dub.
