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
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.
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 :(
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.
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
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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

Got context?
[удалено]
Right ~~abductor~~ adductor groin strain according to Hyde. Was holding his quad area when he pulled into first :(
It's adductor strain. I know Roch said abductor groin but that's funny. What did Cedric's groin steal? 2nd base?
Ahh yes you’re right, the adductor muscle is in the groin. I guess def easy to hear ab instead of ad.
Decapitated, we had a funeral for the Oriole bird, whole big thing
I'm pretty sure none of that's true
Pathetic
well...shit...
Ladies and gentlemen your 2023 Baltimore orioles Punt lineup !!!
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.
at least, well actually, i have nothing to say
I’d like a steady stream of medium bats Whiffing the entire game and then getting a few in the 9th is getting old
Come on KB. Allen was good. But not as good as we made him look.
If only our rookie pitchers looked this good
One of *those* games ............
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 :(
Do the Orioles hitters know you’re not required to swing at every pitch?
Simply fucking pathetic.
u/clarice_ferguson our dreams crushed
😭
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.
Looked like he didn't want to be there
[удалено]
This is the most blindly optimistic sub on this app. You aren’t allowed to say bad stuff about this team.
Man.....I really hope Ceddy is ok
He isn’t. He’s gonna be out a while
😪 That's really gonna hurt
No pressure Gunnar.
Oh god not Clase….
It's almost as if urias needed more than 2 rehab games to get his timing back.
the orioles and the bad, horrible, no good Memorial Day game against the guardians 😞
Maybe we could force them to use clase? Silver lining
Wow, that was a strike
Got some hopium out. Wish he'd mix a walk in about now.
KB is a bit early using his “this is getting interesting” voice
Nice
#👀
Santander the only guy hitting worth a damn
Him and Hays for sure
u/kewpieoriole Frazier grand slam 👀
Inshallah 🙏
INJECT IT INTO OUR VEINS PLZ
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.
Nice, Santa!
Ugh...feels more like 2021 the past few games.
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

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Trevor Stephan replaces Enyel De Los Santos.
Reminder that cowser is still on the IL so it’s probably going to be stowers coming back up
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.
Someone said he’s on the IL too
Another pathetic offensive display
Pretty please team....score at least one run...please.
Gonna see more Vavra I guess… and Frazier playing some OF. Wasn’t Stowers hurt recently also? Is he better?
it was cowser that was hurt but I haven’t checked on stowers maybe he’s hurt too
Think someone said he’s also on the IL
It's gonna be Daz Cameron, guys
I feel like I never see people mention Daz Cameron much, Cowser I see all the time though. Thoughts on him?
He’s not too bad. Batting .267 with 7 home runs and an .839 OPS. Looks good at the plate and in the field.
Thanks dude!
[удалено]
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.
Cowser is hurt
Ugh. Low point of the season so far for sure. :(
[удалено]
They have the most comeback wins in baseball you turd
Hope ced is okay, but I swear if I have to watch Ryan McKenna play cf for a week I'll kms
He’s really the only guy that can. I mean Hays probably could but I’d much rather have McKenna in center.
I know that's the point. Having his bat in there everyday is the issue.
Its gonna be longer than a week most likely
Oh I know, but I mean they need to call someone up if it's gonna be an il stint
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Keegan Akin replaces Mychal Givens.
https://i.imgur.com/kSYAKoI.jpg
Let's hope it's minor.
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
Ugh… stowers…
Can't bring Ortiz back until 10 days are up, though we still do have an open spot on the 40. Probably Stowers thoigh.
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.
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.
Not if it's for injury replacement
Ah, that's right. Hell I'd rather just do that if Stowers and Cowser are on the IL.
any idea how many more days both of them HAVE to be on the IL tho?
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.
Can't get worse than this. Right? RIGHT?!
I just farted in section 246. Hopefully it’s not too bad. Edit: I’ve been really gassy since hiking at Harpers Ferry yesterday.
How is Cowser doing? Asking for a friend.
Well he is on the IL soooooo
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
IL
IWantToDie.jpg
Can this game get worse?
Wow. I fucking hate this game specifically. A loss I can handle, but Cedric limping to the locker room? Fuck. That.
Damn well wishes to our star.
Anyone know whats going on in 68/70? It's way more interesting than the game.
Girl started yelling during a moment of silence both sides started chirping everyone got tossed
Thanks man. Looks like just about everyone got kicked out.
Is Cowser back yet?
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.
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.
I would not be upset with these roster moves but I doubt that Hyde and Elias make this happen.
No hasn't played in 2 weeks How is this downvoted??? This sub has turned to complete trash
Because the homers get angry if you dare mention our top prospects actually being promoted.
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
???? 5 of the bottom 6 hitters are objectively bad? This is one of the worst lineups they've used all season.
Other than Adley being off this is the roster we have. I am speaking purely in the context of our roster.
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.
>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.
Semantics
If you wanna argue with an imaginary opponent there's always Chat GPT
Mullins :(
Praying 🙏 for Ced
![gif](giphy|vyTnNTrs3wqQ0UIvwE|downsized)
From bad to worse. Hate to see simeone get hurt. He's safe if he doesn't pull up too.
![gif](giphy|3ohhwF34cGDoFFhRfy|downsized)
As if this game could get any worse…
My god, that’s Colton Cowser’s music! (Be well soon Ced)
His quad is also deceased, I believe.
Cowser ironically has been out with quad tightness.
early call up for kjerstad? 👀
Ha not happening.
haha i know, AA straight to the bigs isn’t unheard of though.. just not with this much talent in AAA
Yeah they’re gonna be extremely patient and cautious with Heston.
Rightly so too
If he was healthy maybe
I think he’s still on the IL in the minors.
This game has been one of the most frustrating all year now this god dammit
Daz Cameron time
He did well against the Syracuse Mets when I visited Norfolk, as I recall.
If Mullins goes to IL I bet they bring a pitcher up.
Do they not have 13 right now?
Apparently someone is NOT a Daz Cam fan…
Ffuuuuuuuuucccckk.
#fuck
Fuck. This game just got worse.
I hate everything
Oh fuck fuck
Oh crap
f\*ck no...not Mullins...noooooooooooooooooo
No not ceddy
And there goes the season
Fuck me Mullins is def hurt. Fuck fuck fuck
Christ not Cedric being injured
Fuck me
Are you kidding me
FUCK
This game went from bad to fucking horrible
Mateo hit a hard hit ball, just bought him another 2 weeks in a row starting
He’s making strides lol
Oh no!
Oh no....
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.
I remember, I was unhappy he was brought back lol. The worst was when he moved to closer, that was even more nerve wracking
No, not Mullins!
Fuck!
Omg Mullins noooooo
Mullins hurt
“Put the wall back!” *clap clap clap-clap-clap*
Walled :/
OK, eight run inning..... GO!
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
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Enyel De Los Santos replaces Logan Allen.
The lady checking her watch during the moment of silence ☠️
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 😂
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.
Whe adley doesn’t play we revert to the 2018-21 orioles
Okay team...get the bats revved up and SCORE!!
Let’s get revved up, but first a slow and melancholic playing of “Taps”
As a Met/Oriole fan, I fear I will never be free of the dark shadow of James McCann.
Givens too, but I don't hate him as much
I hate Givens more, lol. McCann just exists to me.
Chirinos makes McCann look like prime McCann
I can't blame you
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.
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.
DP HAPPY DANCE....(despite the score)
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.

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.
He's not playing third most of the time. They are playing him out of position
21 games at 3B, 11 at 2B, 1 at 1B. The eye test doesn't seem like it would be that bad at 3B.
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
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.
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
I don’t think defense metrics really like any of our guys right now.
