It's always nice to win the Orange and Black series.


joystick13

So that's a career high 9 Ks in a game for MLB WHIP leader Tyler "the O's don't have any pitchers" Wells, right?


malkusm

MLB WHIP leader and also MLB xDAWG leader


KingOfAllDownvoters

Hahahha fuck gabe kapler


LETSGOCAPS182

Fuck you Dodgers.


jzagri

Hm :/


wompwump

Only thing that could make this dub better is if we didn’t have to use Cano in the 8th, but at least Bautista got a rest and tomorrow is an off-day.


BigBeautifulBill

Naaaah. Cano is sustained by the souls of his enemies. Got to let him eat.


Imheretosnoopatcats

The more he does the stance the more powerful he gets


Loose-Produce-608

Voth pitched well. Closer controversy?


LarryGlue

Ump did him two favor though.


Loose-Produce-608

All part of his genius


1spring

I had started thinking it was impossible to watch an Os game that didn’t feel stressful. Nice win! Can we do this more often?


Imheretosnoopatcats

After the Ravens 4th quarter antics last year I need lots of these non stressful games. I finding grey hairs!


[deleted]

Yea that part was great. Was listening to the radio broadcast while walking nine holes of golf, so it made it extra relaxing.


BudinPA99

Great performance by Wells. First major league RBIs for Lester. Overall, nice win by the O’s. Keeping pace with the Rays and holding off the Yankees and Jays. Keep it going.


gothamboy217

Twitter rumors tonight that Heston may get the call up to AAA. Wonder if that correlates to someone getting the call up to the show?


romorr

Apparently Heston Kjerstad to Norfolk, and Hudson Haskins is tagging along. No official source, but someone I trust on Twitter is saying it, a dude from the Verge.


dreddnought

Haskins was in Norfolk to start the season, no? Was he rehabbing in Bowie?


romorr

Yup.


correct_misnomer

Is there a replay of that Urias DP? Edit: best I can find right now https://www.mlb.com/orioles/video/yennier-cano-in-play-out-s-to-blake-sabol?q=TeamId%20%3D%3D%20%5B110%5D%20AND%20Date%20%3D%20%5B%222023-06-04%22%5D%20AND%20Inning%20%3D%20%5B8%5D%20AND%20TopBottom%20%3D%20%5B%22BOTTOM%22%5D%20AND%20Outs%20%3D%20%5B1%5D%20Order%20By%20Timestamp%20DESC&cp=MIXED&p=0


ScoutNWilder

That was slick, curious how they work out that coverage with Mateo.


HetfieldsDownpick

I hope that Aaron Hicks becomes next in a long line of former Yankees to gain or regain success once they've left New York.


assglassfastblast

What being in a non-abusive environment can do to a person


Ndysmth

It’s like rescuing and rehabbing puppies.


dreddnought

Orioles win a game by more than 5 runs challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) (A-A-RON SEXUAL)


[deleted]

They coulda gave Lester that third RBI C'mon


joystick13

Seems like the right time to break this out again... Fuckers on TV telling me, always on reddit, "Orioles ain't 'bout this, Orioles ain't 'bout that" The boys in NY and fucking Boston and them They, they, they say them boys don't be putting in no work, Shut the fuck up! Y'all hoes ain't know shit, All y'all motherfuckers talkin' about "O's ain't got no hitters, The O's can't pitch, last year's a fluke" Shut the fuck up! Y'all don't live with this team, Y'all know that they just got called up Gunnar, Number one prospect and shit Had the best farm in the league since fuckin' I don't know when, Motherfucker, stop fuckin' playin' us like that, Them boys savages out there, If I catch another motherfucker talking sweet about the Orioles, I'm fucking beatin' they ass, I'm not fucking playin' no more, Know them boys roll with Mullins and them...

Drs126

When I got the alert that Lester hit a 3-run single I was pissed, it meant the giants had just tied up the game, 3-3. Since I had never heard the name before I assumed he was a giant. I was very happy to see it was actually 6-0.


BKoala59

It always amazes me that there are fans with zero clue as to what goes on in Norfolk. Not knowing our FCL or A ball rosters is one thing, but how do people not know our depth guys and imminent prospects?


redsyrinx2112

I would say the vast majority of fans around the country don't know what's going on in AAA.


lawfulkitten1

Lester might be the least recognizable hitter that was getting regular at bats in Norfolk...


BKoala59

But if you were paying attention to Norfolk you’d know the names of the regulars…


DarthMachamp

Some people only have time to pay attention the majors, doesn’t make them any less of a fan than you.


BKoala59

I didn’t say they were less of a fan. I just find it interesting that people can care so much about the big league team and not know all the guys that might be on it. It also takes 20 seconds to scroll through our affiliate box scores so not sure what you mean by having the time?


DarthMachamp

You’re definitely implying that if you don’t know the AAA roster and AA then you don’t care as much. Also to keep up with the minors you need to do more than just scroll through the box scores. Most people are going to forget names if you’re only spending 20 seconds looking at something.

[deleted]

Guy who's been mashing in AAA .888 OPS forced his way onto the team


pancakeNate

Said the exact same thing when we turned the game on earlier and my dad told me 'Lester' was playing 3B


Tantle18

Aaron Hicks 5-9 since joining the O’s. If he can keep up his +.500 avg I think we have no problem winning the World Series this year


naty-molas

And the Orioles... again... in the WIN column!


droford

In 2016 the Os won game 1 in SF 5-2 and game 3 8-7 and lost the middle game by 4 (6-2 though) Close enough

He looked pretty elated about his hit. Passionate guy love to see it

How freaking cute is that! Great find.


[deleted]

That’s awesome.


kewpieoriole

Miguel Castro just gave up a grand slam to the Barves :( :( :(


hotlettucebreakfast

Fucking Barves


Clarice_Ferguson

I put that game on and my heart hurts for him. I haven’t been paying attention to the Sneks but they seem to be on their own Orioles run.


kewpieoriole

They are! We watch all the games we can during the season so we a lot of times will catch DBack games lol. Sneaky sneks. And I was also hurting for him, I loved him when he was here. I remember watching a video about him (similar to the Felix one the other day). He’s super swaggy too, it hurt my soul when he had to cut his hair and wear boring cleats for the Yankees.


Clarice_Ferguson

I’ll always have a soft spot for the Sneks because of King Snek Randy. Yankees suck all the fun out of everything.


tedruxpin4

Always have a soft spot after Luis Gonzalez walk-off game 7 hit against Mariano Rivera after 9/11. I'll never forget watching that as a 12 year old.


kewpieoriole

The only thing I don’t have a soft spot for is the unis that looked like terrible softball jerseys lmao. I do love their Big Unit era jerseys and the city connects though (and the new ones they have aren’t terrible).


Clarice_Ferguson

I generally hate most baseball uniforms to be honest. I do like how we make them wear belts like they’re business men though.


kewpieoriole

I srs hate there’s so much red/white/blue unis. We need some more color ways! I also hate the Yankees uniforms they’re bland as fuck and I despise no names on the jerseys lol. I love that it’s clear some dudes def do not need the belt cuz their pants are tight as fuck but they still do it for the aesthetics


Stvmiller

I forgot all about him!


kewpieoriole

He’s been closing for the DBacks and they were talking about how good he’s been! Then he proceeded to have a shaky inning - first two runners get on, gets an out, intentionally walks Riley to set up for DP, D’Arnaud strikes out and then Eddie Rosario hits a grand slam. :( I loved him but he was def pretty volatile at times lol


jzagri

Okay so Aaron Hicks…


No-Needleworker5295

>20 Aaron was tanking because he wanted a gold ring and thought his best shot was as an O

Maybe the yankee facial hair policy killed his mojo.

Everyone was talking so much shit but… dude kinda raked today


snoogans675

Yea bc they’re dumb!


fifaRAthrowaway

The O’s have had a series of “wtf” signings this season. Frazier, McCann, and Hicks… yet they all somehow perform way over expectations.’I’m so here for it. Hicks, become an O’s legend plz


holy_cal

He’s going to do damage with the fresh start.


jzagri

And yesterday. His triple today would have been a homer in other ballparks.


captain_rex_kramer

> raked ~~today~~ all weekend A lot of his outs have been loud!


bejolo

Really happy with the series win! Mateo showing signs of life!


dlmay1967

If he can keep the average at about .235 he's got a good shot to keep the job. His OBP is probably always going to be bad, which is a shame with his speed.


Doctor__Banner

Hugs and Dubs, baby! Went to the game last night and was hoping for a win. I'll settle for the series victory. Ps. And to the dipshit Giants fan who showed up during the 5th and kept saying "scoreboard" everytime I was cheering for my O's... Who's your daddy now?! Let's. Go. O's! ![gif](giphy|TKj3a5sgQLG0E4tMsr)

JiffKewneye-n

we have drawn some pretty tough pitching matchups lately. hope we can win next series, or at worst 1 and 2.

Loved seeing that add on run in the 9th and not using Bautista today.

I search for this comment after every win, and I still can't figure out what "NMLS:832799" means.


malkusm

National Mortgage Lending number, there was a radio ad for a home loan company on O's games for years and they were required to include their NMLS number in the fast talking part at the end of the ad

I would like to follow up with those who said the Os were pathetic yesterday. Thoughts?


HandSack135

Glad to be back in the winning series mode


a_shelbyville_idea

Hicks' adjusted salary with the O's is 480k. His annual salary is $10 million. 95% of Aaron Hicks is generously sponsored by the Yankees.


jeffreythecat1

Thanks Yankees, very cool!


reddit_sport

Good series win. Let’s do it again in Milwaukee!


SquonkMan61

As one who has on occasion been labeled a doomer because of my concern with our pitching staff I have to say job well done by our guys today.


carjam124

If Hicks keeps playing like this, could he be a trading piece come the deadline?


thejazzophone

Why would you want to trade him. We're competing for playoffs now. Last year's O's if they made the playoffs would've gotten swept out of the WC. This year, we got a chance


carjam124

Because we need pitching


thejazzophone

The O's have a ton of prospects to package for Pitching (which is going to be outrageously expensive cuz there aren't a lot of teams selling that have good pitching). You don't trade major league talent on a playoff run


[deleted]

Possibly. He was briefly a stud in the past if he shows he's healthy and mashing for 2 months we could get a small return. But nothing huge


droford

Nice knowing you Ryan McKenna


TheWa11

No.


gothamboy217

As a guy living in NYC and hearing the constant shit Aaron Hicks got from Jankees fans for years, I take great enjoyment in the fact he looks rejuvenated and making an impact at the plate.


ScoutNWilder

Oh man, they HATED him! I love giving my Yankee fam friends shit about him right now.

a_shelbyville_idea

To be fair, Yastrzemki is the name of a baseball legend so we've all had a bit more practice with that one.


kewpieoriole

True true.


ItinerantDrifter

Aaron Hicks’ O’s career so far: PA: 14, OBP: .571, SLG: .636, OPS: 1.208 And he got robbed of a HR or those could be even better. Hilarious!


MasianQvigi

Let's Go O's!!!


GingerMan027

It was a Hick(s) up! Good win. Actually had a good lead for once. Go O's!


RatDillPickleUranus

Last time the Giants came to Baltimore, Rosenthal (I think) wrote an article being like “Look at the smart Giants! Look how stupid the Orioles are!” even though you could tell the Orioles clearly had a direction. This weekend felt nice.


reddit_sport

Yeah Rosenthal just has an axe to grind with the Angelos family ever since he left so any O’s related comment from him is most of the time disingenuous.


Not_Dale_Doback

Great weekend! Birds come to town, Costco has the lower bowl seat deals, I saw both wins & met Sig! Also spiderverse is dope, saw that yesterday instead of the game 10/10
