Im tired of laughers. Win a grind-it-out, close baseball game.

Fans of a team with a record of 24 wins and 58 losses can hardly afford the luxury of "tiring" of wins of any kind.

Now that's crazy. A team on pace for 110 losses posting the most dominant two game performance of all time. ?

That's a cool way to put it.

After three tough series and a nice June W/L, Indians must have come in looking for "easy" games. No, no said our aces and our hitters feasted on fat pitches.

First team EVER to post back to back shutouts scoring 13 or more each time.  (according to Stats, LLC).  Look at the O's setting a positive record this year for once.  What a pair of games.

I picked a great game for my first OPACY trip in quite a while.  Everyone had a great time.  With 27k in the stands it was like five years ago all over again.

What was the record prior to that?

Don't know, but the 1920 Yanks and 2007 Braves are the only teams to have three 13+ run shutouts in a season since 1901.  None of them were consecutive.

The '67 O's are tied for the record with five 10+ run shutouts in a season.  None consecutive, but they did beat the Red Sox 10-0 three times.  They 2017 and 2018 Indians each had four 10+ run shutouts.

Ok, you guys, now I ABSOLUTELY know you're all DWEEBS as Oriole fans. You're all so unbelieving of the last two routs that NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU has posited the possibility--or even the hope--of the O's racking up a third 13-0 laugher in a row. I.e., you're all afraid to LAUGH even!

When you're on a roll, go for it all, even if ya kno' Ynoa is starting. Hey he's already pitched two crappy games against the Indians this season: IT'S OUT OF HIS SYSTEM! Nunez, Santander, Sisco, Villar, Mancini all swinging the homer bats and Hanser's still the Answer--4th in the league in batting average! Let's GO, 13-O's!

Fascinating.   The ‘67 O’s weren’t that good.

Nice to win a close game, for once.

The Orioles are now 3-43 in games of which they have scored 3 runs or less.

The Orioles were actually losing this game until the 7th inning, when they proceeded to score 8 runs over the next 2 frames ........ but hey, when this team wins a game by 7 runs, they deserve a "laugher" reference/nod.

    • Saves are about the stupidest thing to base reliever pay on.  Ok you probably won't have your worst reliever pitching the 9th, but pitching the 9th w/ a 3 run lead is probably one of the easiest reliever jobs.
    • I'm wondering if Gunnar would be interested in a 8 year/$250 mill extension.  He would still hit free agency at 30.  Also he could have the option of taking player option for 5 years/$200 mill if he had top 5 MVP finish in year 5-8 (is this kind of opion even legal by MLB rules?)
    • Honestly it's been kind of a useless roster spot, so I don't know that they really care about performance. No matter who it is in this roster spot, they won't play a lot so they're not looking for them to make a big offensive impact. 
    • I really like watching Burnes pitch. And yet, I’ve never gone back and forth so much on a possible contract offer for him than any other player. Dude deserves to be paid, I just keep thinking the price tag and years is simply too much. It’s fear of injury and potentially paying another guy well after he stops playing baseball. If the Elias and crew want to make a run at him, I’ll certainly roll with it. I guess we will know more about how deep our pockets actually are after this season.
    • Westburg batting #4 isn't your typical clean up hitter, but he does 2 things well enough that it's probably going to be consistently effective. 1. He has a high average with runners in scoring position. 2. If the 1st 3 batter fail, he'll be good at leading of the 2nd inning. Bonus: He's got some pop in his bat so once in a while he can do what traditional cleanup hitters do. I love how versatile and consistent Jordan Westburg is.
    • I hope we extend Henderson and Adley at the All-Star break this year. Rubenstein can show that the Orioles are sitting at the big boy table now. They are some of the best players in MLB and should be getting paid.       
    • To me, it's more about offensive inconsistency game to game. I don't do the research that many others on here do, I just go off of what I see and feel. And I feel like this offense is very inconsistent and it's an all or nothing approach. There's been back and forths on social media about whether the lack of walks is going to hurt this team long term especially in the post season. In addition to the walks it's the impatience on many nights that drives me crazy. Also, the lack of station to station baseball. Last night, I felt like it was nothing but attack attack attack.. clearly after a couple innings this approach was not working so why not change it up a bit? And also, no one is talking about that after we got Gray out of the game, we didn't do jack **** against their bullpen. The bullpen guys (excluding Hensley) do not have Gray "stuff". So what's the explanation for why we didn't even have a hit after we knocked Gray out? If these trends continue, yes, we may not get swept (because we'll hit enough HRs), but it'll be difficult to rattle off long winning streaks which unless they fall apart due to injury, will make it difficult to keep up with and overtake NY (they just won 7 in a row and like 10 of 13?).
