Have you ever felt a little down on yourself and bagged an ugly one at the bar for a little self-confidence? That’s kind of like playing the Royals. It’s easy, but it feels good.
One of those plays where he thinks he has a chance to catch it so you take an angle to catch it. Then he realized he wasn’t going to get there but he’s out of position at that point. I respect the risk but with the score the way it is, probably should have just played for a double.
I commented on this yesterday briefly with small sample size but i looked more into it today. Gunnar contributing to this offense is HUGE and if this is the Gunnar we are going to see rest of season then plan on watching O's win a lot more games. Gunnar has had RBI(s) in 14 different games this season. O's have won 12 of those 14. The two they lost , one was a blown save to yankees the other was the blowout loss to redsox where we didnt score till a 5 run 9th inning. Bottom line is when Gunnar is driving in runs this team wins!
It's probably happened on a bounce before but no one has ever hit a direct shot during a regular sanctioned game. Either way, even bouncing it is rare.
Griffey hit it directly during the Home Run Derby in 1993 but that doesn't count as an official home run. And he's still the only one to ever hit it on the fly.
Well, I just read that it's official. Gunnar's home run is the furthest shot ever onto Eutaw Street since the opening of Camden Yards.
Pretty fucking wild!
# HOME RUN!
Ryan O'Hearn homers (4) on a fly ball to right field.
Pitch from Nick Wittgren: Changeup @ 84.4 mph
Hit by Ryan O'Hearn: Launched 107.9 mph at 29° for a total distance of 390 ft
Bottom 8 - 11-3
Orioles
I noticed “Andy Reid” is behind home plate. This is far and away the best sporting event he’s ever witnessed. Also Roquan Smith threw out the first pitch. 🟠⚫️🟣🐦⬛🦀
I guess Gunnar did just enough push ups today. A cool 462. Will be putting that clip on repeat for the rest of the season.
Edit: KB and I on the same page 😂
Google says the furthest home run onto Eutaw Street was 443 feet. I think that's actual feet, not Statcast projected distance, and that home run would have a higher projected distance than 443 because Eutaw Street is like 20 or so feet above home plate. But I'm not sure if that would have been more than 462.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/14740er).
Gunnar seems to be breaking out of the slumping early months
🧹🧹🧹
u/the2belo didn’t jinx the sweeeeeeep!!!
Of course I didn't
I had faith :) but I know people were giving you shit!
YES MA’AM
Put a gold bird on it
McCann is like “do we need to hug?” F yeah you do
Oh how sweep it is! "ROYAL FLUSH" 😂
“Royal Flush!” From KB. He was holding onto that one
He probably woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat with the idea and was like, “I gotta write this one down!!”
WIN COLUMN!!
Akin dealing
Hays looks like me running after fly balls in MLB The Show
#🧹🧹🧹
Akin has looked dominant today.
Easier to do with that kind of run support
A ROYAL FLUSH
#LET’S GO O’S!
PUT A MOTHER QUACKING GOLDEN BIRD ON IT!
Get that man a shirt.
Aside from the offense hitting all over, Akin looks great today
The crowd 🥰
I really really like this Akin...a lot!
I am fine with Austin Hays doing that when its 11 to 3. If it was 4 to 3, I would be significantly less fine with it.
It's nice to see 1st half 2022 Keegan Akin again.
Damn Keegan’s mom must have made him some banging tendies today
smokin that Royal pack this weekend
Have you ever felt a little down on yourself and bagged an ugly one at the bar for a little self-confidence? That’s kind of like playing the Royals. It’s easy, but it feels good.
Hey, the Royals used to be hot 9 years ago.
Once that ball gets past you in left it's like letting the dog out of the house
Terrible play Hays
One of those plays where he thinks he has a chance to catch it so you take an angle to catch it. Then he realized he wasn’t going to get there but he’s out of position at that point. I respect the risk but with the score the way it is, probably should have just played for a double.
Only would’ve been a single if he kept it in front of him.
I love O'Hearn
Man its so nice to have Sunday baseball feel fun
Turns out Adley was dragging down our offense the whole time. /s
They're all trying to impress him to get a fully rested post-game hug
Did Gunnars HR reach Eutaw St? MLB app notification said flag court
Yes, it hit the warehouse on a bounce.
Orioles are very good at Baseball
O’Hearn is sitting at .989 OPS
Lol, lmao even
A ROFLCOPTER perhaps?

I’d say we’re definitely fuckin on the Orioles bed tonight.
Hawaiian shirt stays ON
And the floppy hat
Petition to keep b rob in the box permanently and move to a 3 man booth
He would make a good play-by-play
The Royals are REALLY bad.
Given a 11-3 lead, Hyde has me thinking he wants to show the squad he respected Hicks hustle.
yeah, Hyde was showing some love that Aaron's previous team would not have..
Also the challenge is use it or lose so
okay gunnar!!!!! cant wait for you and adley to get the plaque on eutaw street😭😭😭
Ramon Empire Unleashed
Straight up disrespectful challenge there lol
Ramon with a casual 4-5 game getting overshadowed. Good grief…
Let’s be real. With a name like O’hearn, this guy was destined to be an Oriole
#YES, KING RAMON! LFG!!
Uh that's a terrible challenge. He's clearly out. Doesn't really matter though.
Just trying to get his guy a hit
#WERE BACK BABY *Dear god don't let's keep this a blowout, looking at you, bullpen
He was definitely safe. Edit: didn’t see the video, he was out. At the game he looked safe
No wonder we can't afford top FA's, they have to keep buying Eutaw plaques
When the Orioles mash baseballs, it releases a lot of dopamine.
Oooo good speed
This is so much fun! O’Hearn is something else
Ohearn the new Steve Pierce
That's a funny way to spell Barry Bonds
iPhone auto correct
I will see you on Eutaw!!!!
Good lord
First Moutcastle got sick after looking at his own OBP, now he's sick again after seeing OHearn's stat line😀
Ohearn= Steve Pearce
Welp, were definitely getting production from our 1st baseman.
revenge game 😈
Can we do the Ole chant for O'Hearn now?
"There's nothing like getting your old team back, i'll tell ya" What's that supposed to mean, Brian??
Orioles making Camden Yards look like a little league park
“When you’re 4 for 4 with a homer, you don’t care where the hose goes”
O’Hearn just straight mashing now. I’m not sure how you bench him.
LOL FUCK KANSAS CITY KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI AND JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE, ALSO KANSAS CITY, KANSAS
And also just Kansas in general
Yeah I deserved every downvote I got on my O'Hearn hate a few weeks back... this dude mashes
Somewhere Ryan Mountcastle is sweating.
And not from his "illness"😃
In the dugout…it’s hot today.
Damn almost had a plaque on that one
Too bad they wasted all their fireworks on Urias’ double!
It's official. Cano and Bautista getting the day off. O'Hearn is the truth.
Give O’Hearn more playing time!
This is fun!
Yeah, I got a feeling Mounty's gonna be sick for a while lol
We really hit gold with Gunnar and Adley. Glad we have them
#RYAN O'REVENGE
O’Hearn is fun
This game still ain’t over!
TWICE!?
Jk, it hit the pillar 🤦♂️
We are having fun!
looked like it hit the pillar or it would have been another Eutaw St plaque
greatest pickup of all time
#RHINO HERD
O’Hearrrrnnnnnnn!
“Gunnar Henderson imitation” lol, I like Brian’s commentary
OMFG....FIVE TIMES ON BASE....O'HEARN O'HIT O'HOMER....
ANOTHER EUTAW STREET BLASTER! edit: GODDAMN GATE!
Get in bitches, we’re going shelling.
Lol wow!
O’HEARN GOD BLESS HIM
Sad Royals fan needs to be a thing
finally blowing a team out
#wow, just WOW
O'HEARN PUTTING THEM IN THE O'HEARSE
Good one lol
Have a day O'Hearn
That should have been Eutaw
I am having fun
What a great sunday
Did Gunnar’s hit the warehouse on a bounce? It kinda looks like it did
Bounced once and hit a second floor window
yes
Yes, up pretty high too
It definitely did. Bounced over the awning and smacked the warehouse on one hop.
Isn’t that the first time? First time in a game? Even in a bounce?
It's probably happened on a bounce before but no one has ever hit a direct shot during a regular sanctioned game. Either way, even bouncing it is rare. Griffey hit it directly during the Home Run Derby in 1993 but that doesn't count as an official home run. And he's still the only one to ever hit it on the fly.
Yea I remember Griffey. Just can’t recall a bounce shot off the top of my head. But yea, what a blast by Gunnar
Well, I just read that it's official. Gunnar's home run is the furthest shot ever onto Eutaw Street since the opening of Camden Yards. Pretty fucking wild!
Launch party!
#O’HIM
Yay
#RYAN O'HIM
Was that one on Eutaw too?
Would have been but for the brick pillar
# HOME RUN! Ryan O'Hearn homers (4) on a fly ball to right field. Pitch from Nick Wittgren: Changeup @ 84.4 mph Hit by Ryan O'Hearn: Launched 107.9 mph at 29° for a total distance of 390 ft Bottom 8 - 11-3 Orioles
3 days off in a row for Cano and Felix is HUGE, especially heading into a series against Toronto
More hits hits hits...because it feels sooo good!
wow that was mean to the KC Fan
I noticed “Andy Reid” is behind home plate. This is far and away the best sporting event he’s ever witnessed. Also Roquan Smith threw out the first pitch. 🟠⚫️🟣🐦⬛🦀
Gunner Henderson 10 for his last 19 with 3 HRs 6 RBIs and a double.
Josh Jung looking over his shoulder.
are those tear marks in the face paint?
Wow. Love that Royals dedication.
Seat Geek or StubHub for tickets? Seat geek password reset wont get delivered even though i have an account. So cant reallh use seatgeek now.
So StubHub 🤷♂️
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Nick Wittgren replaces Jackson Kowar.
I guess Gunnar did just enough push ups today. A cool 462. Will be putting that clip on repeat for the rest of the season. Edit: KB and I on the same page 😂
The big winner this weekend: Orioles' run differential!😀
Pythagoras finally gonna like us
Fangraphs will still hate us though.
And 538. They have us going 47-50 the rest of the way. LOL
Gunnar has officially arrived. MLB is in big, big trouble. Insert Billy Madison meme here.
Akin pitching like he been on the subreddit too 😂
KEEGAN...gettin' the job done!! Love to see it!
*Keegan* 
So do we just slot Mullins in at third when he gets back?
I think Gunnar goes there. Hays 4. Santa to 5.
Mullins hitting third is an MVP season.
Gunnar ROTY campaign back in play
Akin is pumped up because of the Xbox Showcase today
Gunnar is now tied for 6th longest HR ever at Camden Yards - wow! 1. Carlos Correa — 474 fee 2. Edwin Encarnación — 466 feet 3. 3 (t). Manny Machado — 465 feet 4. 3 (t). Aaron Judge — 465 feet 5. Austin Hays — 464 feet 6. 6 (t). Miguel Cabrera — 462 feet 7. 6 (t). Gunnar Henderson - 462 feet Impressive list to be part of ...
Stupid Edwin and his parrot
Austin Hays the most impressive lmao
Dang I thought Ohtani’s nuke from a few weeks ago would be on there.
456ft - Just short.
I had the same thought as well. Was at that game
“More push-ups”
Fuck Carlos Correa!
They play the Mario death sound whenever someone strikes out, they really need to do the game over one if they win the game on a K
What's the street on the other side of the warehouse?
Howard, runs parallel to light rail station.
Parking lot, then S Howard
The Revenge of the Akin
From what I can tell from the website, this is the longest Eutaw St run outside of KGjr. Can anyone confirm?
Melanie Newman, are you in here stealing comments?
What'd she say?
"that ball had a family" u/fawkesGod posted it right after the HR.
Oooo that first pitch to Melendez was painted
Google says the furthest home run onto Eutaw Street was 443 feet. I think that's actual feet, not Statcast projected distance, and that home run would have a higher projected distance than 443 because Eutaw Street is like 20 or so feet above home plate. But I'm not sure if that would have been more than 462.
I’m at work today but had to pop in to say LFG GUNNAR
.804 OPS for our boy.
On Thursday I jokingly told a buddy that Gunnar would have an OPS over .800 by the end of the weekend. Gunnar is no joke.
Gunnar
Gunnar launched that into orbit
I like this version of Gunny.
Welp, Clutchman definitely getting a full day off!
The Baltimore Orioles.
GUNNAR TELLING OPPOSING PITCHERS TO FACE THE WALL HASHTAG FIRING SQUAD SEND TWEET
Will we get the sun in our eyes during a night game in this section? https://i.imgur.com/b1BvDSG.jpg Section 32 row 13
All pro diamonds face east so the sun doesn’t set in the batters eyes
No, sun will be to your left
How are those seats? Good or bad for any reason?
462 is my new favorite number!
He's getting a plaque.
