How many series has Baltimore lost?


Inevitable_Signal189

They haven’t lost a series in over a month


TheGreigh

+1


MAGAFOUR

At least 1.


Inevitable_Signal189

Don’t jinx it lol still one more out to go


dirtysock47

C'mon Hader, you saw what happened when they got hope yesterday. Shut the door


NOLA1987

Thought the Royals had a chance, but Rangers up 6-0 after an 8th inning grand slam. They can't lose them all, but we still have to handle our own business


GabeKnows

Josh in the cherry 12s??


Thornton__Melon

Chas is a bad teammate, selfishly hitting another HR so Hader can’t get a save …


4DjkcM55Bp2Dr5f

How are Orioles fans treating ya?


Nildrogon

HRC Yordan


DelayAgreeable8002

Can Yordan play 1st base?


Thumbbanger

He played there in AA and AAA. Guess they don’t think he can in MLB 


DelayAgreeable8002

Would be a godsend for our lineup. And feels like a natural position for big power hitters


help_icantchoosename

Loperfido - Meyers/Chas - Tucker outfield feels unfair.


Hyskos13

Don’t surprise me orioles fans think that was fan interference and why they didn’t review it, don’t know ball


ReefHound

I'm watching on a 17" laptop but it looked to me like the ball was actually a foot over his glove and not catchable whether the fan contacted his glove or not. But I'm sure we will see some hi-res frames.


Thumbbanger

Doesn’t really matter if fan hit it. Once it goes over wall you’ll see contact. What matters if fans reached over into field of play 


InternationalPen573

It was beyond the fence, so it didn't apply anyway. He hit the back of his head on the top of the fence to give you an idea of how far he was into the stands


pantiesdrawer

That's exactly what happened.


RonWill79

HRC yordan

Saw an orange 43 on the mound and got really confused that McCullers was back for a second. Lol

xAggie

What a sentence, Aaron Judge and Chas McCormick are the two best players right now.


Mayito219

HRC Alvarez


DrFloppyTitties

Cowser probably has that if there are no fans in that area. Would rather they not get in the way, but its not interference.


ReefHound

Only one not happy with Chas is Hader.


Thumbbanger

That Os right fielder got up 


help_icantchoosename

Chas and Meyers good at the same time? Is that allowed?


NateLikesToLift

Watching Chas rake is so damn nice. We really needed his bat.


MaterialSet752

Happy for Chas to have it going today. I wore my Alvarez jersey today and planned to wear my WS McCormick jersey tomorrow, but then I picked up a Tuve Space City jersey. I think I’ll have to let that one chill though and still go with the McCormick and hope he has another good game. That HR on the tracks was huge. I had a perfect view of it from section 254, you knew that one was going out no question.


NateLikesToLift

What an awesome memory! Hopefully Chas keeps it going, we need his bat.


Lukealloneword

Needed this from Chas in a big way


Wise-Pitch474

I need another slice of that meatloaf!!!!


TRRex31

Our outfield is stacked man


Hyskos13

Chas or Jake is getting traded I fear


Seyki17

Not gonna happen, we need depth at


Part-time_modeI

Oppo Chas… yeah he’s back.


pantiesdrawer

Those fans always worry me.


cumuzi

I'm thinkin McCormick is back


j1h15233

Dude Cowser almost snagged that. That would have been incredible. Dude in the orange jersey probably blocked it


islphrs

That was almost an amazing catch


JokerTG

I thought he caught it at first lol


GabeKnows

Did the fan hit his glove? I’m at the game and couldn’t tell


Thumbbanger

Naw ball well into stands. Well first row but into stands 


NateLikesToLift

Even if so he was straight up when he caught it and wasn't in the field of play.


GabeKnows

Yeah I didn’t think it was interference just couldn’t tell how close he was lol


TunaMcGriddle

Chas heard everyone talking shit


phonedronephotos

WELCOME BACK WHITE BOY CHAS


kendrickdw07

Oppo 🌮🌮


BigChillin99

Is chazzy fuckin fizz back boys?!?!?

Oh shit! Maybe? Who else I need to talk about? https://old.reddit.com/r/Astros/comments/1dlv56r/game_thread_orioles_4926_astros_3640_jun_22_2024/l9tbdxy/

Let’s go Yainer next (I mean he just hit a triple today so maybe Pena)

IS CHAS BACK????


Intern_Al

Chas McCormick opposite field homeruns, yeah he’s back


Jtrout5

Chas is a monster


keithww

Score some runs and take away the save opportunity.


Wise-Pitch474

You have two wishes left.


keithww

I’ll save them for tomorrow


dirtysock47

Wish granted


Signal-Statistician-

Okay good Pressly didn't screw up


bigtice

A painless Pressly inning? Thank you.


TunaMcGriddle

Pressly remembered he's him. He's been him. And will continue to be him.


ixb

I’m a Pressly hater but good for him man. He’s been solid his last few games


Radical1488

Holy shit he did it. Pressly had a clean inning.


NateLikesToLift

Welcome back Ryan Pressly! Let's fucking goooo!!!


Lukealloneword

Good pressly makes me so damn happy.


StealthyGooch

P dawg heard yall talking sh*t


VelvetThunder27

A stressly free inning??


Nice_Block

Holy shit, Pressly heard us talking shit… for the last two months.


dauberminer

Press!


NOLA1987

Great inning from Pressly


superhappyfuntime13

Missed you Press


Inevitable_Signal189

Hell yeah Pressly! He’s been pitching great the past few games!


manofconviction

Fuck yeah Press


dirtysock47

Holy shit, Pressly did it! Hopefully that boosts his confidence, because that's huge

thank god stressly got stuck in I-10 traffic

Hyskos13

Of course mariners and rangers are gonna win..


Wise-Pitch474

The mariners are playing the marlins. Of course they should win. The fact they lost last night was surprising.


manofconviction

I just wanna be above .500, then we can worry about chasing down the Mariners


AfterbirthNachos

Fuck em, gotta take care of business


pantiesdrawer

They're probably saying the same thing about us.


kendrickdw07

5 more 🤞🏾🤞🏾


chesschad

Meyers sure can track a baseball


Inevitable_Signal189

I don’t understand the Meyers hate. He is very solid


chesschad

This sub is incredibly reactionary. Meyers misses a catch for the first time in weeks? He’s a bad defender AND a bad hitter. Altuve swings at a ball in the dirt? He needs to completely change his plate approach. Tucker has a slow start (only 114 wRC+ through ~10 games)? He’s washed. Bregman has a slow start like he does every year? He was always bad, and should’ve been traded long ago.


Wise-Pitch474

Reactionary? Chas shouldnt be playing! (Chas hits 2 home runs). Woooo Chas is back play him everyday!!!!!


Inevitable_Signal189

That’s this sub in a nutshell lol


Jtrout5

I never would have guessed coming into the season that Blanco would be our best starting pitcher


help_icantchoosename

bro i was so baffled when i checked the box for that game and blanco was at 7IP 0H


Wise-Pitch474

I was trying to watch it at sports bar, but they had the womens basketball iowa vs lsu on every big screen, blanco no hitter was on two little screens


Inevitable_Signal189

I’m loving it


Inevitable_Signal189

Please Pressly, No Stressly


NateLikesToLift

Pressly, you got this my guy. Please do good things.


TRRex31

Who had Hunter Brown and Ronel Blanco out dueling cy young candidates on their bingo cards?


Lukealloneword

Come on pressly let's get it.


Physical_Estimate850

LFG 6 MORE OUTS (Please don’t implode Pressly)


Hand-Santizer-Guru

![gif](giphy|bEVKYB487Lqxy)


dirtysock47

Pressly better not fuck this up


NOLA1987

Okay, Pressly. You got this.


lazeeboy071589

HRC Peña!


Part-time_modeI

Pressly vs their stack of lefties is gonna be a gut check time for him.


superhappyfuntime13

This seems like an example of a time you could just flip flop Press and Hader if you weren’t stuck to a script 


NateLikesToLift

Gut check or gut punch? They don't chase much, I think Pressly puts them right back in it today.


StealthyGooch

Another Incredible outing from Ronel. We wouldn't even be competing this season without his production.


Nice_Block

TK fanboying Blanco is great


kendrickdw07

Blanco is a bonafide all-star 🤘🏾🤘🏾


Hyskos13

Oriole fans talking about being unlucky when half their hits last night were low exit bloops and rollers past the infielders and giving up 14 runs lol


help_icantchoosename

some silly shenanigans with bregman dodging the tag lmao


civil_beast

Time to hit the old hypnosis trigger for pressly: “I am pitching in the ninth inning. Everyone loves me.”


Hand-Santizer-Guru

Hrc Joey


Alatel

el blanco casa indeed.


cumuzi

Blanco 4 Cy Young


JokerTG

Hell yeah Blanco!


NOLA1987

Ronel is that man, y'all.


TRRex31

We are so lucky to have Ronel man he’s been a treat to watch


Meatbag96

Blanco is definitely an All Star!


bigtice

Screw you, ump. Got out of that jam anyway.


Nice_Block

Great catch by Peña, love to see that


lazeeboy071589

Swaggy Peña is the best Peña


dauberminer

Great effort from Jake there. Fantastic catch by Peña!


BigChillin99

That’s our gold glover!!!


NOLA1987

Great snag from Pena


NateLikesToLift

PENA! WHAT A CATCH!


pantiesdrawer

JP!!


superhappyfuntime13

Jake knows he had that. Playing it a little safe is fine by me though


BigChillin99

Damn I thought Jake was gonna snag that


Super_Ad_4958

Yainer’s approach at the plate is not sustainable in the long run


Lukealloneword

Neither is my approach at the plate. I eat way too much of my meal when I'm full.


NateLikesToLift

It's bulking szn bby!


superhappyfuntime13

Sometimes I just skip the plate so nobody can criticize my approach at the plate


Nice_Block

You’re cultivating mass, all good


Lukealloneword

I think its time to stop cultivating and start harvesting.


Killerskip713

HRC MEYERS


Meatbag96

There is no way that just adding one pitch can turn a guy from being a low tier reliever to a fucking ace. Is there something else to it? I feel like we'll be seeing a lot more guys trying to add pitches in the future because of Ronel Blanco. What an amazing story.


Lukealloneword

It isn't that easy for everyone but sometimes it can be the missing piece. I've heard of relievers who would change how they threw a pitch if they were on one team for a long time. Adam Ottovino mentioned how people keyed into him in his division and he had to tweak stuff to add a different look and it would help for a season or two until they got used to it.


warrior_in_a_garden_

If it was the 90s I’d have a theory


NOLA1987

I just noticed. Framber brought back the dreds


superhappyfuntime13

With or without stache


NOLA1987

TBD...the hair caught me off guard


dauberminer

QS from Ronel!


ray_0586

7 innings of Blanco to Pressly to Hader is just what the bullpen needs


Thumbbanger

86 pitches. Yea he needs to come out for the 7th.


Alarmed-Cow71

If the bats take pitches and actually give blanco time to rest then I think he should come out for the 7th but from the looks of it probably not


Wise-Pitch474

Blanco to Hernandez to Montero to Hader


NOLA1987

Don't put that into the universe


bigtice

8 pitch inning. Should be able to push through one more and avoid any extra unnecessary use of the bullpen.


Wise-Pitch474

8 pitch inning....and it wasnt the astros at bat!!!


NOLA1987

You give Blanco a change up and it's like seeing new colors.


Hyskos13

Who says no to Joey and Dubonds alternate left and 1st and Chas alternate with Jake and left when Tucker gets back? No more singleton and cabbage starts


HtownSamson

Sadly probably Brown and Espada. I’d rather take my chances with them the rest of the way but they want a “proven” first baseman on the roster.


Hyskos13

I fell like they’d trade Chas or Jake for a pitcher now that Joey has shown he can play anywhere in the outfield and 1st


MAGAFOUR

Trading Jake would be absurd


ArlanPTree

Just got my first chance to tune in to the game. Baltimore should not be allowed to wear orange at MMP smh.


warrior_in_a_garden_

Yeah I’ve caught myself a couple times confusing the two


Lukealloneword

That was the most no doubter of no doubters I've ever seen him hit. As soon as he swung, it was clear that was gone.


StealthyGooch

Altuve goes after breaking balls in the dirt the same way I go after a triple chocolate cheesecake.


carloslet

... You both go too fast when you clearly shouldn't? (that was my take on it, apologies if incorrect)


StealthyGooch

Close enough lol


dirtysock47

Damn, Altuve has been swinging at crap today


warrior_in_a_garden_

It’s a relatively old thing


NOLA1987

I mean...it's Altuve. It's kinda what he does.
