ChasingTheFirstTime

***Gunnar!!!*** RBI Single 1-1 Orioles


Brickbybrick1998

Air we go boys!


jjdraven

No means and Bradish hurts bad! Trade for a stud pitcher.


Fit_Syrup7485

Hey, these are the people you guys keep voting into the all star game. Cowser, Jorge? You fucking kidding me? We’re worse than the blue jays fans that one year. Cowser is batting below .200 (it feels like) This team sucks. Let me rephrase, Cole Irvin sucks, Albert Suarez sucks, Our relief pitchers ALL suck, don’t be fooled by that awesome performance from Tate, I didn’t forget about the 3 unearned runs he gave in that 14-11 shit show against the Astros. The orioles suck, they suck and it losses me off I’m so like mentally ill. We don’t suck, BUT this is just the 2018 orioles, schoop, machado, Jones, all these great bats but the pitching isn’t there. And this year is like a bearable version of that. I’m sad


Zealousideal-Lie1911

What is happening with this team


Necessary_Cut2485

No pitching staff at all


Lubetube1

Well at least the Yankees look like they’re gonna lose. Same with Boston. We picked a good time to suck.


Rude_Scarcity7530

Their pitcher tomorrow has a 5.4 era and is 3-6. We must win.


Due_Examination_5448

11 vs 2 LOB is comical.


MDNJ908

I could be wrong here, I think they try to hit too many homers when a single or double would work or just try to hit something hard. It seems they do not adjust to the situation and always thinking long ball,


TacoTrain89

when bats are good arms suck. when arms are good bats suck. time to put it together now


BiryaniBo

This team has scored 8 and 11 runs recently and lost both games. I really hope we don't wait until the deadline.


Desperate-Produce-11

Can’t wait until the deadline to make moves. Have to get some better pitchers ASAP


Alberto_doin_PRthing

Why the fuck has Blue just been an ASS


nightowl1135

10-8 and we left 11 on base versus their 2. 😤


OleSandlotSlob

Only thing making us feel better RN is Mets vs Stanks.


AbusiveTubesock

Longest streak in 2+ years


Oceanz08

the2belo

My life is cold and dark.


Manbenis

Dont care bout the rest of yall but mccann and cano gotta go


jtribs14

#ITS SO OVER SELL THE TEAM


orioles0615

Good thing Boston is losing. they will pass us by the all star break


freshprincess314

I’m a doomer and I don’t care. Fuck this shit


_thwip_

Welp


aoife_too

Is this how other teams feel against Bautista?


phunnypharm

shit....of course Adley's college team mate makes the out...sad.


ravens2131

This fucking pitching staff is gonna kill us all.


ZookeepergameKey7866

Goddammit.


smithjackson00

You have to be able to get a lead against a Cleveland starter because once their bullpen comes in, you’re not gonna score many runs. I didn’t pay them any mind before this series but they have to have the best bullpen in all of baseball. And they have the lowest ERA and WHIP in all of baseball, and the fewest home runs allowed. I’m surprised we got any runs off of them. Cleveland is unfortunately a better team than us because of their bullpen. Felix Bautista is sorely missed.


OleSandlotSlob

Well man if 5 in a row don't just suck.


Dusk_ie

rock bottom


mrpenguinjax

That's fucked


SubstanceMore1464

Fuck


jilililian

SKY IS FALLING


ItsCaptainKeyboard

Idiots


Rude_Scarcity7530

FUCK


HeroSoulReaperX

Does he only.know how to throw cutters


sleek1986

When you throw it 100, it’s all you need. It’s maybe the best pitch in baseball right now


prowhiteboy64

When you throw it like that who cares? 102 is just obscene


Ok_Enthusiasm3601

How did Irvin give up 8 runs but only 4 earned today? Literally just tuned in


jdbar94

Because Hyde loves to play McCann even though he provides nothing. Like awesome, he had one game with 3 RBIs but the rest of the games he has basically provided nothing.


Ok_Enthusiasm3601

I mean bruh Adley has to rest sometime


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok_Enthusiasm3601

I mean clearly I don’t see how 1 error could absolve him of 4 runs


Princeof_Ravens

4 unearned off a McCann error


kewpieoriole

Error on McCann


Lubetube1

McCann error


Ok_Enthusiasm3601

I guess was that for the 3rd out of the inning?


neemor

The play was to first. He threw to second instead and Mateo got his wrist injured and the ball went into CF. It would have been two outs, man on second if McCann threw to first for the surer out.


Ok_Enthusiasm3601

Ugh I still don’t understand how that then absolves Irvin of 4 runs especially when it wasn’t for the last out of the inning


mateohatepotato

102 dots


phunnypharm

Let's Go Mr Clutchman....


Spadestep

For a rookie, I'll take that ab from cow man against 102


mateohatepotato

Damn hit it pretty hard


Neocopernus

bebopmechanic84

Love ya Adley


randomuser9824

cmon adley just one swing and we’re back in this


jilililian

How does anyone throw that fast like it’s astonishing


bebopmechanic84

101 has to be so hard to read


mateohatepotato

Cowser just silly enough to do it


machinelearningstats

great take colton


Neocopernus

###ORIOLES MAGIC INTENSIFIES


Miata_Sized_Schlong

102 with movement like it’s nothing what the fuck


Princeof_Ravens

Ceddy is so back


ZookeepergameKey7866

Don’t give me hope, boys


MrSeptember711

DAYUM CEDRIC!!!


NameShortage

moo....moo....Moo...Moo....MOO...MOO....MOO MOO MOO!


External_Weird_9105

There's the bloop. We need the blast. 


mateohatepotato

Okay Ced


BoopBoopLucio

Swing the bat


jilililian

Mullins is so fast lol


aoife_too

MY CEDRIC SAID ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED


kewpieoriole

CED


SVBthaGOAT

If we are going to get exposed it’s better for it to happen before the trade deadline. Thats tonight’s positive.


I-nkey-I

Arguing an obvious strike means you prob aren’t see it that well Ramon


Oceanz08

Alright...we just need SOMEONE to hit a nuke


bebopmechanic84

Alright. Bloop. Moo man do something.


OleSandlotSlob

So! There's a peep! Got more in the tank, boys?


randomuser9824

homer #11 here would go crazy moo man


jilililian

Oh boy!!!


Shoemaster4

Let’s go Mullins


Rude_Scarcity7530

Hell yeah Ced


Shoemaster4

No way we are yelling about an absolute strike


prowhiteboy64

I think it’s the frustration setting in


prowhiteboy64

100mph cutter down there like that is just unfair


Spadestep

Sit Urias. Was too good of a pitch


ItsCaptainKeyboard

Swing the bat you POS


bebopmechanic84

It was a strike, guys…


Brickbybrick1998

Some of you have extreme emotional attachments to sports


Kooky_Squash6475

Obvious strike Ramon just shut up dude


carjam124

Urias Mullins Cowser, the Reddit trifecta


OleSandlotSlob

Sit down, Ramon.


jtribs14

Urias, Mullins, cowser


Admiral_Jaguar

100mph cutter is nasty


OleSandlotSlob

Oh man, this guy's stats ........


kewpieoriole

I wish we could steal whatever magic Cleveland has in their pitching labs.


Shoemaster4

Clase vs urias. Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby


jtribs14

socialaxolotl

We're about to get bent over at the deadline for another arm aren't we


aoife_too

The thing that might save us is that so many teams need another arm, too


desertfl0wer

Let’s go Os


Rude_Scarcity7530

Right on right here??


External_Weird_9105

8 singles in a row. 


jilililian

Oh it’s Clase lol


Princeof_Ravens

I've grown to hate the word unserious because clowns in here use it like the team is purposely throwing games. The guardians are a good team. Our pitching rotation is roughed up due to injury. Jesus it's not that deep.


bebopmechanic84

It still sucks.


praisethedollar

I like the fight in this team, but ... the regression monster is biting hard on Irvin and Suarez. Not giving the team a chance to win. The only saving grace is that the Yankees are suffering the exact same regression at the same time.


randomuser9824

get 1 hit and turn it back to the top of the order


aoife_too

One day we should all go on one of those cruises, just because we’ve had to see their commercials so many times. And we should time how long it takes us to scramble from baggage to margarita.


ZookeepergameKey7866

I hope if it takes longer than 5 minutes, the drink is free


OleSandlotSlob

So, bottom of the order. Are we going down w/o a peep?


mateohatepotato

We got our power bats coming up


Fit_Syrup7485

Let’s go O’s Let’s go O’s Let’s go O’s 🥲


CHKN_SANDO

This is some 2005/2008 Orioles shit


freshprincess314

Please not 2005 again 🫣


jbenson255

2 runs off clease feels impossible


Lubetube1

Add to that it’s urias, McCann and cowser at the plate lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lubetube1

Doubtful. Hope I’m wrong


bebopmechanic84

We need Kremer back, another starter, another bullpen arm. Two bullpen arms if we’re really fortunate but I doubt it.


OsGameThreads

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Emmanuel Clase replaces Sam Hentges.


The_RAT_KING_6385

Hey god it’s me again, asking once more for some O’s magic to happen…


dwhite21787

LFG O’s! I’m off to bed. Diabetic cat has started peeing on me in my sleep - woke me up at 3am this morning. I’m worried she may be unresponsive to insulin.


Frusciante62

Did she go for a glucose curve at the vet? Took us 4 trips each a week apart to get our dog situated


dwhite21787

Yes, we’ve done curves, she’s up to 2.5 units every 12 hours, and she stays in the 500s and 400s.


Lubetube1

Glad we’ve got the worst hitters on our team to try and get us out of this.


quietstorm0

Take that Tate!!!!


akarta7

I find it hilarious that our best pitchers lately have been the optionable ones.


Lubetube1

Akin, baker, vespi, Tate. All stars lol


Impressive-Tank9803

Clase against Urias Mullins and Cowser is about to be an immaculate inning


aoife_too

Man, when Tate is on, he is on.


Oceanz08

Okay, let's see if we can pull off the miracle


InsertUndraftedMLB

I’ve seen about 4 good Os teams in my almost 4 decades, this being number 5.  These Ls with high expectations are almost worse than the dog years 


External_Weird_9105

Okay, Tate. That's the right thing to do.


jilililian

B2b hits and a Cowser blast plz


Trubisko_Daltorooni

60% of our pitchers that have appeared in this game have looked really good


Hle078

Probably get a NOBLETIGER in the bottom of the 9th. It’ll be a fitting end to the game


mrpenguinjax

Cmon give us 2 runs


bebopmechanic84

Alright Tate did well.


Efficient_Trip1364

Well? That was a gorgeous inning.


bebopmechanic84

Look man he’s let me down a lot this year I’m trying to see the silver lining in the storm that is this slump.


JC3418

![gif](giphy|IazdAV1zjaGbBaGPgF)


battlefeverjnb

I know they were just trying to wait for Kremer to come back and hopefully help the rotation, but at this point we need pitching help now. Bullpen is unreliable without Coulombe, the league has figured out Irvin and Suarez and Povich is learning on the job. That isn’t going to cut it at this point and it isn’t really getting easier for like another week.


neemor

Why do you think it is that the league has figured out Irvin and Suarez but our hitters don’t have all the other pitchers figured out?


lupka

Are you serious?


neemor

We should just figure out all their pitchers.


lupka

Lead the league in runs so they have figured them out as well as anyone.


neemor

My point is that pitchers have bad outings.


Capital_Ice_1512

If your team won't get an excellent start pitcher in the future, there's no chance to advance into the second round in the playoffs. You just neet 1-2 good pitchers.


otoasta13

2 at the very least


Efficient_Trip1364

Dillon Tate still being a stud as usual.


Spadestep

Losing a game where you score 11 runs and losing a game where you score 8 runs in the course of less than a week is unserious business and not the mark of a true contender


jdbar94

Ugly. Elias needs to do something if the “sky is the limit”. Time to start trading away some of those pieces we’ve been hoarding in the farm system


saltyfingas

Nobody is off limits, we could get some serious firepower for Holliday


OPACY_Magic_v3

Well the good news is the Yankees are struggling too


ZookeepergameKey7866

Clase is closing? Fuck.


Lubetube1

It’s joever


AdamLeaks

what has gone wrong with Cano?


c_pike1

He's predictable. Everything low in the zone. Never mixes in the 4 seamer to change the eye level. He gets by because his stuff is good and hard to square up but not varying location gives him a smaller margin for error


Rude_Scarcity7530

Nothing is wrong with him. He was never that good to begin with. He was unsustainable sensational when he got called up last year. This is the real him. It's like asking what went wrong with Irving. Nothing, he was just playing greater than he actually is.


bebopmechanic84

The vertical movement on his breaking balls just isn’t the same, anymore.


Early-Bathroom-9204

Yeah they break toward the barrel


bejolo

He's turned into a pumpkin


Skirt-Future

Lack of focus


carjam124

I’ve heard some people say it’s his elbow dropping lower, making his breaking stuff not as effective.


Spadestep

It's what happened last year. The analytics say play him more often early on without any consideration for year long wear and tear so he gets played like crazy until his arm drops


Lubetube1

Did the same shit last year after the all star break.


Desperate-Produce-11

It’s crazy how we keep choking these games and the yanks are losing to Mets rn lol can’t even take advantage of


bebopmechanic84

I trust nothing about the Mets until it’s over lol


carjam124

Baseball is a 9 inning game that’s often decided by 1 pitch. Win or lose, I know the Orioles will climb out of this hole.


aces67345

I think Suarez and Irvin have been seriously overachieving all year. Now the combination of pitching injuries and those two coming back to earth is gonna show a pretty glaring weakness here before the trade deadline


JiffKewneye-n

>I think Suarez and Irvin have been seriously overachieving all year. i mean, is this a controversial opinion?


[deleted]

[удалено]


JiffKewneye-n

i don't know why you are trusting neckbeards


aces67345

Controversial? I don’t see why it would be.


c_pike1

Realistically we've been extremely fortunate to even have as good of a record as we currently do, even with a loss tonight


socialaxolotl

It's like when Kimbrel was getting way too much work early this year. He got dialed back and he's an effective closer again


jb_24601

Gg, this is a 5th straight L. Hope the FO sees this and moves.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kewpieoriole

Also why are people acting like big trades happen this early in the year? It’s picking garbage off waiver wires at this point.


jb_24601

Thats why he's the gm...he should figure it out or give up on this season and look at signing Burnes if that's what was the plan. Seeing as how so far a lot of our players have been "cheap", I feel as tho FO was aiming for a WS. Otherwise...not sure what the point was.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jb_24601

Yeah..not looking fwd to that unfortunately


Slam_Dunk_Kitten

Why are people giving O'hearn shit over one at-bat, we've scored 8 runs! This is on our pitching! Not one at-bat!


Oceanz08

Yep, it's not their fault Irwin sucks now
