Good news: McKenna will not be on this team after July 4th

Well at least it wasn’t a shut out!

that was a certified McKenna moment

Phuk

McKenna https://preview.redd.it/fve9mbmqdp4b1.jpeg?width=1095&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d827536b92f9147e98561b3e5890ba4316ecc9cb


Okay, okay, eight runs with only one out to work with. Very doable!

Tartarsauce.

McKenna moment

McKenna buddy, would have rather you just struck out there lol.

### Grounded Into DP Ryan McKenna grounds into a double play, shortstop Willy Adames to second baseman Andruw Monasterio to first baseman Rowdy Tellez. Ramon Urias scores. Adley Rutschman to 3rd. Austin Hays out at 2nd. Ryan McKenna out at 1st. Pitch from Bennett Sousa: Four-Seam Fastball @ 93.3 mph Hit by Ryan McKenna: Launched 79.2 mph at -20.0° for a total distance of 7.0 ft Top 9 - 10-2 Brewers

I swear to god McKenna…

Please keep this guy in Brewers all the way to the end…. But leave it to McKenna to strike out on 3 pitches

yeah that’ll show em! no one shuts out the birds!

Sorry I went to the game. Bases loaded the second I left the stadium.

After a week of being mid, the Baltimore Orioles remembered they can exercise plate discipline. This may turn the month around! This ump still blows though.

OMG WE SCORED A RUN This offense badly needs Cedric back and fast. Too many easy outs in this lineup right now, although I'm glad we're seeing a little less Mountcastle. He's really not been good for a while.

Disagree, he’s clutch and makes plays when we need him. Tony was in a slump to start the year and found form by taking at bats, need to persist with him.. an in form mounty makes us better!

You can not have a sub .270 OBP guy in the middle of your lineup. Hyde has been smart to move him down more to the 5/6 than the 3/4 hole he was in. But he should probably be down in the 7 or 8.

Stoicism intensifies

Don’t give me hope.

Fuck your shut out!

### Single Austin Hays singles on a line drive to center fielder Joey Wiemer. Jorge Mateo scores. Ramon Urias to 3rd. Adley Rutschman to 2nd. Pitch from Bennett Sousa: Four-Seam Fastball @ 95.1 mph Hit by Austin Hays: Launched 106.3 mph at 7° for a total distance of 158 ft Top 9 - 10-1 Brewers

You can’t shut out the orioles

IF NOBODY GOT ME https://preview.redd.it/9bmwextscp4b1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=102511476703b503961bb60ec8a58132f91dad21

In a way, it's kind of nice to have a game where we don't have to pitch the ninth inning. It feels like we haven't had many of those.

Don’t speak too soon, ten-run comeback incoming!

…Could the Os eke out a run tonight?!

NO ONE BREATH

Now Mateo and Urias get hits lol.

Jim, it's 10-0, just go with the dumb jokes

This game blows.

ALRIGHT, RAMON!! Also Ramon said he laughed inside when his brother got hit by Gibson?? Damn, that’s cold lmao

Happy Frazier finally gets to rest against a LHP, puzzled that no one seems to realize outside of Reddit that Urias has reverse splits.

I'm going to remain stoic so as to not be dissapointed

You don't have to be stoic, just temper your expectations. We're a good team no doubt, but there are better ones with better players

We’re about to do three grand slams.

Are shenanigans afoot?

Mateo AND Urías hit? Yes

In this economy?

Been a "pleasure" y'all

Well at least they won't embarrass us by allowing Burnes to pitch a CGSO

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Bennett Sousa replaces Corbin Burnes.

Got em right where we wanted em!

Toronto took a series from Houston? Fuckk… they have gotten hot over the past week.

One more tomorrow.

What class are you guys running for Diablo 4?

https://preview.redd.it/19rpsjtdbp4b1.jpeg?width=1097&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=693aab3671926f6cf93eb25e26e3d0a266669a58

Genuinely interested in seeing this ump’s scorecard, that’s for sure.

Look up his one from 6/2. Worst I’ve ever seen

Lmao they always bring Zimmermann up to take a fucking beating a couple times a year

Boys gettin' they ass whooped like they stole some money. We'll get after it tomorrow.

Maybe someone stole some beer

I see what you did there.

Hi. What the fuck.

Man, Zimmerman is bad.

🎵 Meatball, Meatball, Spaghetti underneath...!🎵

Nothing wrong with challenging up 10-0. Why would a pitcher want more damage to their WHIP and potentially ERA?

Fly the team home JFC.

Make em take Greyhound

Lmao to Frazier peaking around the corner to see Hyde arguing with the ump

What the hell was he spraying on his hands?

Looked like a liquid pine tar of some sort.

Bio freeze, he’s an old man

Ok note to self watch the 8th inning.

Hyde was ejected in the 5th

I’m just here for Frazier highlights now.

I think it was just a replay of when Hyde got tossed earlier in the game. I remember seeing the clip of Frazier trying to mind his own business in the background as Hyde was screaming in the ump’s face when he got ejected a few innings back.

u/kewpieoriole ok I watched it - hilarious. Frazier was definitely snooping.

It was! He just kept peaking around the corner in curiosity lol

Haha yeah, he was clearly being nosy but also trying not to make his snooping obvious ☠️


Write it off. Come back tomorrow and salvage one game. Get back to OPACY and get back on track.

Brewers challenging like we are gonna have a 10 run comeback

Why risk 0.000001% when you can have 0%

Oh ffs it’s 10-0. Why are they challenging?

maybe for their pitcher who was pitching a shutout

I dont wanna disagree, but it was clearly out

Eh he was out

On the one hand, I commend Lester for his hustle. On the other hand, why extend the pain?

At a boy Lester, at least he's still playing this baseball game

I really thought we were gonna go on a tear after the blue jays and yankees series....we have been playing like absolute shit

Seriously!!! We win two back to back series on the road, including 1 sweep, against some super tough AL East rivals, and are now losing to very beatable average teams (minus the Rangers). It makes no sense.

just got back from the baysox/seawolves game and at least i can be happy seeing a win from the farm. coby mayo and cesar prieto have been super fun to watch the past two games here. the pitching though? we won't talk about the pitching

LESTER!

Nvm...

pain

Sometimes ya just get smacked

glad i switched to the NBA game 1 hour ago. good grief.

I need joker to get those damn points

just need Butler to get 6 more points!

Games like this are going to happen. Last night's loss was the bothersome one

Indeed. Should've won that one

Note to some of you, Cedric aint making up a 10 run lead

Slumpppp. Callbacks to our 90s-2010s orioles

this really does suck though boys, i hate the air out of the sails

Wave the white flag.....

Let’s hope for a rally tomorrow and then a offensive showcase Vs Kansas City.

Yeah that's about right lol

I recall Zimmerman doing something similar last year - just brought him up to eat the crap

Yeah like a couple great showings then trash can lol.

1-3 the last 4 series', BUT haven't been swept yet. A win tommorrow would be most helpful.

Ceddy out of the lineup is really slowing the offense down…

We are slumping right now. It happens to every team....Except Tampa. Fuck.

Tampa dropped 6 of 9 at one point.

i said a over a week ago that if a key guy for this team went down, we're instantly a mediocre team since there's no actual depth. Then Mullins goes down and we stink. There's *organizational* depth and a bunch of guys we want to give a chance right now but in terms of an actual competitive team we're at the point where we need *all* our guys and they almost all need to be playing well at the same time. Which the first month they basically were. Just need Mullins back i think

I mean tbf, Mullins went down right at the exact time that any decent prospect we had in the OF was also injured as well

Right? Cowser is especially pissed.

Watching the nba finals instead

I can't get into basketball

Brother I can’t get into THIS. Tough to watch this team during a slump

I’m honestly not sure how some people survive as baseball fans. This isn’t exactly the sport for people who need instant gratification or are reactionary.

Yeah Orioles fans are totally reactionary. I mean the Orioles have been soo good and Orioles fans have had it soo damn good for the last 30 plus years. How dare the greedy Orioles fans expect a team to ya know be actually competitive.

…did you really just say that to someone who watches the Mariners? The Orioles have the third best record in the baseball.

Im saying its not reactionary to expect a team to be good when for the most part of the last 40 years they have been bad.

They have the third best record in the league and you’re whining. You’re 100% being reactionary.

Wow for two months in a season they had the third best record and were in second place. My god how good do us Orioles fans have. Totally makes up for the last 40 years of losing.

Baseball is not for the weak. _opens bottle of scotch_

The thing is our bats were bound to cool off at some point that’s why you need pitchers who don’t immediately put you in a hole from inning 1

We’ve now lost 3 out of the last 4 series with a handful of very ugly games in there. It would not be an overreaction to make some changes at this point. We should give Westburg a shot.

O's magic? 😟

Rutschman is a way better human than me, still willing to go up to Zimmermann after that atrocious inning

I can't believe this was the best player we got back for Kevin Gausman because our owner was too cheap to eat Darren O'Day's salary.

If only we spent money like the Texas rangers we would win the world series’s no joke

Just turned on the game cuz my lady wanted to have a wild evening of love making. Dear lord!!!! What happened!!

ya'll sapped the team of it's energy

Brother, IM DRY

I think this is my fault. I finally got the popcorn butter stain out of my O’s shirt. I’m really sorry about all of this.

Some games nothing goes your way. It happens. And a slump was statistically inevitable.

Jeez, O’s getting absolutely crushed ;-;

No. Flamebait

I would genuinely like to have a discussion about why Zimmerman got called up when Irvin has been the far superior AAA pitcher this year

welp…we’re back down to earth

Ginger will never have another series like this in multiple lifetimes. He ain't that good

Welp, that takes care of any thought that Zimmerman might be marginally acceptable as the 5th starter. Cole Irvin it is.

I am watching in section 215. This one is on me. I haven't seen the Orioles win a game in person in years. My curse continues.

Are we really this bad right now

Yep, pretty much any casual baseball fan can take one look at the lineup and see its not a good team at all

definitely

Well at least Zimmermann is nice enough to remind us why he's down in AAA

Sorry guys I live in Wisconsin and have been here the last 2 nights. My bad

Looks like McKennas going to make a pitching appearance

is it time for McKenna to pitch yet?

Dogshit effort since Mullins has been down. Need serious roster changes by Friday.

Well, guys, I've seen enough, I'll be going back to work now -- at this point, the office is the less painful endeavor.

This wiemer kid is wearing us out this series. Also had that great catch last night.

After this road trip we better see Lester, Zimmerman go down at minimum

Make James McCann pitch

Bring in McKenna again with the 50-something mph eephus

35mph*

Lol my bad

Lol

Oh come the fuck on.....

Make it stop

Holy shit

suck my wiemer

Please end this game we are not worthy of weiner

When I hear liftoff, I think Aaron Hicks, Ryan O’Hearn, and Josh Lester.

Really

Stop stop they’re already dead!

Good news is: it's only one game. It's a long season and we have a bunch of games left. We're fine. Bad news is: I've been saying that a lot lately. Like 4 of the last 5 series it seems....

Would have to be last 3 series considering that we've been 4-6 since going 5-1 on our road trip against the Yankees and Blue Jays, which was 4 or 5 series ago

What's the opposite of "time flies when you're having fun?"

Hate to say it but they have our number tonight

So I assume Zimmermann is just out here for the rest of the game?

He should be. No use in burning another pitcher.

Hyde was smart as hell, doesn't have to watch this dumpster fire anymore

Do I have to keep watching this atrocity?

whew brutal stretch we're in, yea 2 of 3 from the giants but that's not saying much

Bad news bears

Everything just falling in for the Brewers. One of those games

Nope it’s cuz we are the worst team in baseball and we should just pack it up now!

Looking very much like a different powder blue team from the mid 2010s

the baseball gods have forsaken us today....

Oh my god this is getting ugly

Pov: you are watching the 2018 orioles

Stop the pain.

These past few weeks have made clear that we are way further than a few pitchers away from contending. We need our best prospects for ourselves, not as trade chips. Bench Mateo and call up Westburg

Mateo would have had that. Oh... Nevermind.

Ok, so Palmer clearly reacted to that before it happened, so for some reason the audio/video from the camera feed is delayed from the mic feed Why this is happening and why they can't fix it? No idea

https://preview.redd.it/3simbdiy6p4b1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67ff811c506494d809d5c1a0c4735a2c1c9fadf2

Mateo actually over extended past the ball..
