Good job for Irvin past the first test in pitching well vs the worst offensive team. Doesn’t sound impressive but important. I was worried for the inflated inning
Compare how this ump was setting up to last night's. This guy was right above the catchers helmet in the middle of the plate every time. Last night the dude was between the plate and the batters box
Does anybody know why Lester is still with the club? Gunnar is healthy and they have Urias so it's not like they need another third baseman. Is he just here as a warm body until Cowser is fully ready?
There is slumping and then there is non-competitive at bats. When the at bats aren’t even competitive (like today), that’s an indication the player needs a day off and in Mateo’s case he has been given a longer leash because of his defense…but with those non-competitive ABs doesn’t matter what you do on defense.
# HOME RUN!
Adam Frazier homers (7) on a fly ball to right center field. Ryan McKenna scores.
Pitch from Scott Barlow: Curveball @ 79.8 mph
Hit by Adam Frazier: Launched 99.6 mph at 29° for a total distance of 397 ft
Bottom 8 - 6-1
Orioles
Man, I still want them to call up Cowser so they could just DH Santander every day but I would be more than content with Hicks being the everyday CF until Cedric comes back.
So i been pleasently surprised that Hyde has made the necessary move replacing for the most part Mountcastle with the much more productive Ohearn. Now if he can make another necessary move of replacing either Urias and honestly maybe even Mateo with Westburg to give us more productive at bats
Hey Cionel, I cannot tell you how glad I am that you had a boring inning plus.
It would be *such* a shot in the arm if he has figured it out ..........
I like Hicks. It’ll be good to get Ced back but I thought fans were way too hard on the signing. Anyhow here’s to him hitting a big bomb in the Bronx that makes Michael Kay cry.
I think Gunnar just got extremely unlucky with that base running there. The catcher managed to find the ball in like .2 seconds when it looked like it got by him
It's petty of me, but I always like seeing Witt be a non-factor. It's one of those things where you made a purchase, and now you want to constantly be reminded what a good purchase it was.

BEER=COLD
Side note…I really like BRob as the color guy. My ranking…Ben, Jim, BRob, Gregg
Absolutely, he was great.
#W COLUMN. LET'S HAVE A BROOM COLUMN TOMORROW !!!!!!!!!!
Golden bird incoming
Kevin's ability to slip in movie references is so elite
He lives for it
BIRD ON IT
BIRB IT!
Holy mama
No Cowser in game 2.
One more, baby
Umpires are like IT. If you do everything right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
Compare how this ump was setting up to last night's. This guy was right above the catchers helmet in the middle of the plate every time. Last night the dude was between the plate and the batters box
Sounds like that quote from futurama
Does anybody know why Lester is still with the club? Gunnar is healthy and they have Urias so it's not like they need another third baseman. Is he just here as a warm body until Cowser is fully ready?
Probably, but even then id dfa McKenna first. Lester can play infield and outfield.
BROB talking about Joe West lmao 🤣
I should have combined the Adam Frazier Agenda and the Gunnar Henderson Agenda long ago, I’m getting so much more production out of it.
Joe West is going to sue Brian and Kevin
Joe West catching strays from B-Rob lmao
Deserves every stray for staying as long as he could to break that record when he could hardly bend down to see the bottom of the zone.
Focus Mikey...you CAN get this done!
Damn Mateo creeped all up in his ass on that tag. Dude turned around like “wtf”
Cal Ripken variant, oh god.
shid
OK, Bauman to finish them off. Let's have a nice, boring 9th. And brooms out tomorrow.
Let's Go Mikey....you got this!! 1-2-3 inning!!
Or just burn baumann who's already gassed. Makes sense
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Mike Baumann replaces Cionel Perez.
https://i.redd.it/brzuuduks95b1.gif
Apparently that was Frazier’s 50th career home run.
Somebody give that man a hug....he needs one.
Ugh that last pitch was perfect
Sadley :(
It’s all good Adley stay chill
My headcanon is that Cal is here specifically to teach Mateo how to hit like a shortstop, like the old sports mentor in one of those 90's movies.
Mateo does hit like most 80s-90s shortstops before Cal
Hell yeah
Oh great, Mateo will have a different batting stance each week.
Worked for Jarred Kelenic…after two years…kind of anyway.
PLEASE CAL
C'mon Adley....get in the groove...focus...deep breath...you CAN
To Adley on bobblehead day: "Earn this."
Minny won, Texas winning, good day so far. Watching Sox / Yankees tonight could be fun.
Does Vespi get the 9th?
No he’s sent down again
Maybe in Norfolk. Was sent down for Irvin.
Ha…oops
40th win, Toronto loses, Rays on the way to a loss, and either Boston or NY has to lose later Not a bad Saturday
Please don’t make this interesting in the 9th lol. Let’s cruise 🚢 to victory
Good lord, is this pitching change serious?
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Nick Wittgren replaces Scott Barlow.
Lester looks like one of those old man babies. Does that make any sense?
Pig man
He looks like a washed up former child actor
Looking at him, complete sense
Jim Thome
Alright Adley last chance. I believe in ya.
Ok get Mateo a mental health day or something
*week
Another vintage Mateo at bat. Solid work.
He’s now at a .267 OBP. Impressive.
*Orioles magic intensifies* 
Cal sitting back there with Elias like, "And then I said, 'I don't care if you're Kevin Costner or not...'"
One day we'll get the whole story.....😀
Watching Mateo flounder at the plate is tough.
May Mateo is on the loose tonight
Time for Mateo to sit.
Mateo 🤮
Mateo with another ugly AB :( I really want him to get it going, I wonder how long his leash is.
There is slumping and then there is non-competitive at bats. When the at bats aren’t even competitive (like today), that’s an indication the player needs a day off and in Mateo’s case he has been given a longer leash because of his defense…but with those non-competitive ABs doesn’t matter what you do on defense.
Meanwhile Mateo 🗑️🗑️🗑️
It's funny that people are still defending him when he's been bad for over a month lmfao
He’s been so bad it’s getting comical.
He better keep up his fielding if he wants to stick around
Josh Lester, who looks like Babe Ruth, also simultaneously looks 27 and 39.
Did they just prematurely play Gunnar’s walk up music?
Was that Adam’s first Camden HR?
No he hit one off ohtani on to the flag court
Ahh, yes. I remember now. How could I forget that??
Cause we lost
😂😂😂
Lester says “I like this team.”

Now THIS is how you treat the goddamned Royals
Railriders with some little league baserunning to save the Tides lol
Whoop ass can status: unsealed.
Jordan Westburg watching this game: 
#HEY, BOMBS AWAY FOR FRAZIER TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY !!!! *Clarice is in a swoon.*
Who’s warming up?
lets frigging goooooo birds!!!!
MUCH NEEDED INSRUANCE
Frazier has been a God send at 2B this year. Great vet presence in the clubhouse.
I hope that conspiracy guy on the main sub that said we should DFA Frazier for Westburg is watching.
Because of one homer? He now has an OBP of .300. That’s not good.
Maybe my expectations are too low after Odor last year.
Haha I get that
Lmao what?
[Here you go](https://www.reddit.com/r/orioles/comments/1467lot/elias_is_a_genius/)
It does warm my heart to see other people sticking up for Frazier at least.
#EVERYBODY CHUG A FRAZIER BOMB
Akin for the 9th please
#Adam Frazier
Just Adam being Adam
FRAZIER DONG! HR SPECIALIST
Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO!
FRAZIER BRINGS ON THE JUICE
u/clarice_ferguson NOODLE BAT!!!! 💕

Smokin’ Adam Frazier.
I was about to throw McKenna some massive shade right down the dick, and he fouled it off with that walk.
# HOME RUN! Adam Frazier homers (7) on a fly ball to right center field. Ryan McKenna scores. Pitch from Scott Barlow: Curveball @ 79.8 mph Hit by Adam Frazier: Launched 99.6 mph at 29° for a total distance of 397 ft Bottom 8 - 6-1 Orioles
Camden Frazier is now a thing! Let’s go!
Frazier vanquish the blahs...GET A HIT! edit- That's what I'm talkin' about Adam!!!!!!!!!
RAHHHHHH
I think it would be cool to renovate the upper left field to something like Coors field.
Any idea when we’ll open the upper deck LF seats? What an eyesore
Probably later in the season if they start selling out more
That’ll do Mac.
What’s that guy taking a picture of
Man, I still want them to call up Cowser so they could just DH Santander every day but I would be more than content with Hicks being the everyday CF until Cedric comes back.
A couple more runs wouldn't go amiss guys...Let's GO O's!
I missed it. What happened to O'Hearn?
A lefty pitcher came in so Hyde pitch hit for him.
Just a sub out. I like Brandon but over managed there imo.
Nothing, just pulled him for a pinch hitter/defensive replacement
So i been pleasently surprised that Hyde has made the necessary move replacing for the most part Mountcastle with the much more productive Ohearn. Now if he can make another necessary move of replacing either Urias and honestly maybe even Mateo with Westburg to give us more productive at bats
Before his injury Urias had like a career 111 wRC+.
Don’t give Hyde too much credit, Mountcastle has been under the weather so that’s why he hasn’t played the last few days.
Oh lol damnit..
Hey Cionel, I cannot tell you how glad I am that you had a boring inning plus. It would be *such* a shot in the arm if he has figured it out ..........
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Scott Barlow replaces Taylor Clarke.
Going to be kind of weird when we win the World Series with Aaron Hicks in the lineup.
We did it with Todd Cruz.
Yankee stadium might actually get burnt to the ground lmao
We can only hope.
I like Hicks. It’ll be good to get Ced back but I thought fans were way too hard on the signing. Anyhow here’s to him hitting a big bomb in the Bronx that makes Michael Kay cry.
Hey Hicks, that was a pretty nice play, running away from the infield to catch it over your back!
Edited correctly and it’s a highlight reel
Thank you Perez, so happy you went 1.2. And thank you to Hicks for that final out there
I bet KC +2.5 when Perez came in with 2 on. You’re welcome.
Miss Ced more than anything…. but Hicks has been awesome.
I hope he sticks around. Small sample size but I much prefer him to McKenna.
They could always stash McKenna down at Norfolk (he has an option) in case the Hicks magic wears off once Mullons comes back.
RETIRE HIS NUMBER. RETIRE 34 NOW.
What a great pickup he was
Panic averted!
Little nervous when Hicks started in, but what a recovery. Almost routine. Great outing by Perez.
HICKS HAS IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job by Perez today. Exactly what we needed.
Lol the crowd thinking that was a strike
I think Gunnar just got extremely unlucky with that base running there. The catcher managed to find the ball in like .2 seconds when it looked like it got by him
Yeah, could have happened to anyone, and also more likely to happen to a rookie.
Lol that smug pickoff attempt
It’s MCU day against the Royals but no Paul Rudd at the Yard?
https://preview.redd.it/26cvy5ggp95b1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d98fdf7617557ff23b09af76ceba49d7fac86a1
You can’t see him, he’s ant size
Finish this up, Perez
It's petty of me, but I always like seeing Witt be a non-factor. It's one of those things where you made a purchase, and now you want to constantly be reminded what a good purchase it was.
I feel the same lol
I know exactly that feeling
Perez is like "shit, my boss is RIGHT THERE watching me. Time to shine"
The Boss AND the greatest O's player of all time
[удалено]
Witt has a far higher ceiling on all fronts than Mountcastle
That's it. Retire Hick's number. Orioles Legend Forever.
HICKS HAS IT!
Lol okay ump you give the Royals that call but not Perez. Whatever man
How often does Cal go to games? He’s popped up quite a bit this year so far.
Well, if I lived in the area and didn't have to pay for tickets....😀
I guess you should have become an Orioles icon then lol
He goes a fair bit I feel like. He stays around town, I used to seem him at one of my old jobs. He would come in with his ex wife lol.
These Royals might not be able to hit but they sure do fight off pitches
Is anyone warming up in the O’s bullpen?
Big Mike
Hmm wish it was Coloumbe
Can't believe Cal is 63 now😳
Cal looks rough tbh
I’m older now than Cal was when he broke Gehrig’s record. Blows my mind.
Perez still in. OK ..... Hope this doesn't get too interesting. If he can figure it out and keep us bored here, I would be ecstatic.
Oh shoot Cal and Elias sitting right behind home playe
Cal looks like a baked potato
Blasphemy! 😀
Extra butter
Jinx 💀
Alright Birds let’s wrap this up!
Cal lookin like a baked potato
You take that back!😁
What’s wrong with baked potatoes!?
Omg 😂
Three rapid fire outs please Perez!
Meanwhile, the Brewers might lose another game in their series against the A's. Go A's.
[удалено]
i know. he got caught stealing yesterday game too and it’s like come gunnar
