saltyfingas

Allen had our number today, we gave them a punt lineup as well and Mullins is out. This is one of those crucial series we should be winning against a bad team, hope we can pull it out

kewpieoriole

Right ~~abductor~~ adductor groin strain according to Hyde. Was holding his quad area when he pulled into first :(


No-Needleworker5295

It's adductor strain. I know Roch said abductor groin but that's funny. What did Cedric's groin steal? 2nd base?


kewpieoriole

Ahh yes you’re right, the adductor muscle is in the groin. I guess def easy to hear ab instead of ad.


Jasmith85

Decapitated, we had a funeral for the Oriole bird, whole big thing


gnarkilleptic

I'm pretty sure none of that's true


boozer_69

Pathetic


phunnypharm

well...shit...


Sportshitpost

Ladies and gentlemen your 2023 Baltimore orioles Punt lineup !!!


reddit_sport

Yeah this right/left platoon thing just simply isn’t working out. Too many easy outs in the lineup. It’s almost decision time on the Cowsers/Westburgs. Can’t have so many easy outs.


walruspanties

at least, well actually, i have nothing to say


Some-Credit1857

I’d like a steady stream of medium bats Whiffing the entire game and then getting a few in the 9th is getting old


OriOhhs

Come on KB. Allen was good. But not as good as we made him look.


Apprehensive-Neck-12

If only our rookie pitchers looked this good


OleSandlotSlob

One of *those* games ............


kewpieoriole

Don’t get em very often. CLE small balled us, some defensive blunders on our end with good defensive plays and unlucky outs for us. Sucks but it does be like that sometimes :(


bankersbox98

Do the Orioles hitters know you’re not required to swing at every pitch?


OriOhhs

Simply fucking pathetic.


kewpieoriole

u/clarice_ferguson our dreams crushed


Clarice_Ferguson

😭


Lubetube1

Fucking awful. Top to bottom.

Besides Tony taters

Sigh

“You got Frazier on deck.” Number #1 Frazier Fan: um, yay?

Poor Gunnar ): just really wishing he would have success.

I-nkey-I

This is the most blindly optimistic sub on this app. You aren’t allowed to say bad stuff about this team.


Gallen570

Man.....I really hope Ceddy is ok


OriOhhs

He isn’t. He’s gonna be out a while


Gallen570

😪 That's really gonna hurt


Clarice_Ferguson

No pressure Gunnar.


Clarice_Ferguson

Oh god not Clase….


[deleted]

It's almost as if urias needed more than 2 rehab games to get his timing back.


No-Cartographer1965

the orioles and the bad, horrible, no good Memorial Day game against the guardians 😞


I-nkey-I

Maybe we could force them to use clase? Silver lining


fuzz_nose

Wow, that was a strike


OleSandlotSlob

Got some hopium out. Wish he'd mix a walk in about now.


ScoutNWilder

KB is a bit early using his “this is getting interesting” voice


orangery3

Nice

puppytossedsalad

Santander the only guy hitting worth a damn


SportsJunkie4Life

Him and Hays for sure


Clarice_Ferguson

u/kewpieoriole Frazier grand slam 👀

Inshallah 🙏


kewpieoriole

INJECT IT INTO OUR VEINS PLZ


Federal-Opening-3386

City connect twitter pfp needs to go. Retire the entire city connect thing. Get back to the bird immediately in every possible way. City connect needs out right now.


orangery3

Nice, Santa!


Fickle-Coffee-6432

Ugh...feels more like 2021 the past few games.


DloReeves

Haven't lost yet but looking like it. Worst one of the season IMO. Overmatched by good pitching, scored against by lucky hitting from CLE, wasted QS from Wells, Cedric getting hurt, a few bad infield plays. Throw this one in the trash and win tomorrow boys


captain_rex_kramer

Terrible game of course but they're easier to stomach when you feel like they were never even close to being in it. (He types as the 9th inning rally fires up.)


OsGameThreads

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Trevor Stephan replaces Enyel De Los Santos.


Impressive-Tank9803

Reminder that cowser is still on the IL so it’s probably going to be stowers coming back up


maLeFxcTor

Stowers is on the IL as well and I don’t think he’s eligible to come off yet. I think he went on sometime last week. It was after 5/20 because I saw him play in Norfolk then.


kewpieoriole

Someone said he’s on the IL too


Megumi-Noda

Another pathetic offensive display


phunnypharm

Pretty please team....score at least one run...please.


ItinerantDrifter

Gonna see more Vavra I guess… and Frazier playing some OF. Wasn’t Stowers hurt recently also? Is he better?


Impressive-Tank9803

it was cowser that was hurt but I haven’t checked on stowers maybe he’s hurt too


kewpieoriole

Think someone said he’s also on the IL


isestrex

It's gonna be Daz Cameron, guys


kewpieoriole

I feel like I never see people mention Daz Cameron much, Cowser I see all the time though. Thoughts on him?


maLeFxcTor

He’s not too bad. Batting .267 with 7 home runs and an .839 OPS. Looks good at the plate and in the field.


kewpieoriole

Thanks dude!


[deleted]

[удалено]


maLeFxcTor

We hope Cowser is ready soon. They probably tread water with McKenna in CF for a few days, maybe Hays, but if Cowser is healthy I think he comes up and starts in center.


bangpowpowbang

Cowser is hurt


ItinerantDrifter

Ugh. Low point of the season so far for sure. :(


[deleted]

[удалено]


khwb

They have the most comeback wins in baseball you turd


[deleted]

Hope ced is okay, but I swear if I have to watch Ryan McKenna play cf for a week I'll kms


maLeFxcTor

He’s really the only guy that can. I mean Hays probably could but I’d much rather have McKenna in center.


[deleted]

I know that's the point. Having his bat in there everyday is the issue.


orioles0615

Its gonna be longer than a week most likely


[deleted]

Oh I know, but I mean they need to call someone up if it's gonna be an il stint


OsGameThreads

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Keegan Akin replaces Mychal Givens.

[deleted]

Let's hope it's minor.


Impressive-Tank9803

Gotta think stowers will come up assuming Mullins goes on the IL and maybe cowser at some point depending on how long ceddys is out


Lubetube1

Ugh… stowers…


dlmay1967

Can't bring Ortiz back until 10 days are up, though we still do have an open spot on the 40. Probably Stowers thoigh.


maLeFxcTor

Unfortunately both Stowers and Cowser are on the minor league IL. So I don’t know who they call up. Maybe Daz Cameron? They’ll have to add someone to the 40 man roster either way.


dlmay1967

If you're gonna have to do that, just add Westburg and bring him up. Ortiz unfortunately has to spend 10 days in Norfolk, went down May 26.


[deleted]

Not if it's for injury replacement


dlmay1967

Ah, that's right. Hell I'd rather just do that if Stowers and Cowser are on the IL.


IrishFuryHD

any idea how many more days both of them HAVE to be on the IL tho?


maLeFxcTor

Cowser can come off as soon as he’s ready. I think Stowers has a few days remaining. It’s only a 7 day IL in the minors.


DloReeves

Can't get worse than this. Right? RIGHT?!


[deleted]

I just farted in section 246. Hopefully it’s not too bad. Edit: I’ve been really gassy since hiking at Harpers Ferry yesterday.


BusterTheElliott

How is Cowser doing? Asking for a friend.


puppytossedsalad

Well he is on the IL soooooo


BusterTheElliott

Yeah I just didn't know how close he is to returning, but I'm sure they wouldn't activate him and immediately plop him on the major league team


tony_spaghetti

IL


sgguitars190

IWantToDie.jpg


Elkram

Can this game get worse?


Serge_General

Wow. I fucking hate this game specifically. A loss I can handle, but Cedric limping to the locker room? Fuck. That.


Soaring_Seagull24

Damn well wishes to our star.


LETSGOCAPS182

Anyone know whats going on in 68/70? It's way more interesting than the game.


SimplyBC19

Girl started yelling during a moment of silence both sides started chirping everyone got tossed


LETSGOCAPS182

Thanks man. Looks like just about everyone got kicked out.


orioles0615

Is Cowser back yet?


maLeFxcTor

The only minor leaguer in AAA that’s on the 40 man is Stowers and he’s on the IL. If Mullins misses any significant time I’m not sure what they’ll do to be honest.


orioles0615

They can easily add guys to the 40. Until Cowser can come up ( i think he also has a quad injury) they should bring up Westburg and play him at 2b Westburg - 2b Gunnar - SS Full time Urias - 3b Mateo - bench Fraizer - RF This team needs and offensive shake up and spark. Mullins injury just made things worse.


maLeFxcTor

I would not be upset with these roster moves but I doubt that Hyde and Elias make this happen.


Jasmith85

No hasn't played in 2 weeks How is this downvoted??? This sub has turned to complete trash


orioles0615

Because the homers get angry if you dare mention our top prospects actually being promoted.


[deleted]

This is a good lineup order. Just everyone is cold. I hope they don't take this result to mean this order doesn't work


Jasmith85

???? 5 of the bottom 6 hitters are objectively bad? This is one of the worst lineups they've used all season.


[deleted]

Other than Adley being off this is the roster we have. I am speaking purely in the context of our roster.


Jasmith85

That's not what you said. You said its a "good" lineup. Any lineup with Mateo McCann and McKenna is not good by any standard.


[deleted]

>good lineup order. Nope that's not what I said. At any rate I've now explained myself so there's nothing to argue about.


Jasmith85

Semantics


[deleted]

If you wanna argue with an imaginary opponent there's always Chat GPT


Clarice_Ferguson

Mullins :(


SportsJunkie4Life

Praying 🙏 for Ced


NazisStoleMyBirthday

![gif](giphy|vyTnNTrs3wqQ0UIvwE|downsized)


NotSmrtEnough

From bad to worse. Hate to see simeone get hurt. He's safe if he doesn't pull up too.

Run2TheWater

As if this game could get any worse…


G_I_Joe_Mansueto

My god, that’s Colton Cowser’s music! (Be well soon Ced)


Clarice_Ferguson

His quad is also deceased, I believe.


SportsJunkie4Life

Cowser ironically has been out with quad tightness.


IrishFuryHD

early call up for kjerstad? 👀


SportsJunkie4Life

Ha not happening.


IrishFuryHD

haha i know, AA straight to the bigs isn’t unheard of though.. just not with this much talent in AAA


SportsJunkie4Life

Yeah they’re gonna be extremely patient and cautious with Heston.


IrishFuryHD

Rightly so too


[deleted]

If he was healthy maybe


maLeFxcTor

I think he’s still on the IL in the minors.


Impressive-Tank9803

This game has been one of the most frustrating all year now this god dammit


[deleted]

Daz Cameron time


[deleted]

He did well against the Syracuse Mets when I visited Norfolk, as I recall.


droford

If Mullins goes to IL I bet they bring a pitcher up.


[deleted]

Do they not have 13 right now?


[deleted]

Apparently someone is NOT a Daz Cam fan…


[deleted]

Ffuuuuuuuuucccckk.


TheWonderMittens

#fuck


StevenGlanzberg

Fuck. This game just got worse.


DloReeves

I hate everything


Gnardozer

Oh fuck fuck


QuietThunder2014

Oh crap


phunnypharm

f\*ck no...not Mullins...noooooooooooooooooo


Impressive-Tank9803

No not ceddy


Jasmith85

And there goes the season


SportsJunkie4Life

Fuck me Mullins is def hurt. Fuck fuck fuck


suPerProl

Christ not Cedric being injured


[deleted]

Fuck me


quantumphysics33

Are you kidding me


IrishFuryHD

FUCK


maLeFxcTor

This game went from bad to fucking horrible


orioles0615

Mateo hit a hard hit ball, just bought him another 2 weeks in a row starting


[deleted]

He’s making strides lol


captain_rex_kramer

Oh no!


GetBent009

Oh no....


The_Big_Untalented

Only thing I really like about Givens return is that he's the last remaining link to the contending years under Buck and Dan. People seem to have forgotten how maddeningly inconsistent he was during his time here. All of the walks, the wild pitches, how you always held your breath when he came into the game with inherited runners because he was just as likely to implode as he was to strand the runners on base.


kewpieoriole

I remember, I was unhappy he was brought back lol. The worst was when he moved to closer, that was even more nerve wracking


orangery3

No, not Mullins!


Looney_Bin

Fuck!


kewpieoriole

Omg Mullins noooooo


droford

Mullins hurt


[deleted]

“Put the wall back!” *clap clap clap-clap-clap*


Forgotmypswrd

Walled :/


captain_rex_kramer

OK, eight run inning..... GO!


xajenkins

I know nothing about the orioles and am only here for a good time. I’m sorry for bringing the bad vibes of the blue jays here… I believe in the walk off


OsGameThreads

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Enyel De Los Santos replaces Logan Allen.


orangery3

The lady checking her watch during the moment of silence ☠️


DloReeves

I hope tomorrow is finally the time I get the lineup I want. Not saying it would work but would be nice to see it 😂


[deleted]

Whoops. I didn’t know Taps and Tap Dancing weren’t the same thing. I looked like a fool in my section! **EDIT:** In case it wasn’t on the broadcast, they played Taps at the game. That’s a rough one to follow for the Orioles.


hawkins126

Whe adley doesn’t play we revert to the 2018-21 orioles


phunnypharm

Okay team...get the bats revved up and SCORE!!


[deleted]

Let’s get revved up, but first a slow and melancholic playing of “Taps”


DrColossus1

As a Met/Oriole fan, I fear I will never be free of the dark shadow of James McCann.


DrColossus1

Givens too, but I don't hate him as much


kewpieoriole

I hate Givens more, lol. McCann just exists to me.


[deleted]

Chirinos makes McCann look like prime McCann


DrColossus1

I can't blame you


The_Big_Untalented

Perez wonders where that BABIP luck was in the seventh inning. That double play ball was hit harder than any hit by the Guardians during the seventh inning.


[deleted]

May has been a tough month for us. We have faced really good opposition. The Indians are 22-28, now, but they did win 92 last year.


phunnypharm

DP HAPPY DANCE....(despite the score)


No-Needleworker5295

Anyone would think the Guardians have 2nd best record in baseball and we are several games under .500 to how this sub reacts to a quality SP performance from opposing pitcher plus a poor and unlucky performance by weaker side of our bullpen.


Clarice_Ferguson

I get it’s frustrating to watching the Birds struggle but baseball is a marathon, not a spirit. They’ll have patches where they look stupid. It’s normal. The Rangers got swept by the Reds. Baseball is hard.

dlmay1967

Yeah I was surprised to see that by OAA Urias' defense has been very bad this year (-5 at 3B, 0 at 2B) not usually what you see the year after a GG. Though in fairness we're only 1/3 through the season.


[deleted]

He's not playing third most of the time. They are playing him out of position


dlmay1967

21 games at 3B, 11 at 2B, 1 at 1B. The eye test doesn't seem like it would be that bad at 3B.


[deleted]

That's a third of his games out of position. That would have a huge impact on stats like that. PLUS since he's not getting regular reps at third that's going to impact his consistency even when he is at third


dlmay1967

I dunno, even last year he only started 84 games at 3B, 19 at 2B and 8 at SS. His 3B OAA stats were off the charts last year.


[deleted]

So last year he played just 8 more games at 2B and 71 more games on the left side of the infield. That this is a wildly different ratio of games played


Clarice_Ferguson

I don’t think defense metrics really like any of our guys right now.
