Wednesday, August 9: Orioles try to bounce back after tough loss to Astros

Man this just feels like a sweep. Maybe they need their ass kicked like that to have a chip on their shoulder.

10 years in the MLB, what's he get?  A fat pension?

[Hallas]

Mountcastle in 2021 or 2022 swings at that slider.

We do not match up well with Houston ..

Pensions are awesome. Did you hear about the new UPS union victory? $49 an hour for drivers plus healthcare and pension. Make the corporations pay their workers a fair share.

Astros ABs are always drawn out. They have great plate discipline. 

Yea they do. Dodgers were similar. 

[Yossarian]

Kyle Gibson seems like a solid human being.

Okay I’m done with the game thread today. So much toxic. 

Eh, you can fix that. When the majority of your game thread looks like this, it's actually quite a lovely place to be.

I wonder if people put pressure on the players to do public events?  What if the player was very shy and not comfortable talking?  Just curious.

This is why Austin Hays won’t be an Oriole in 2024. Too streaky, doesn’t homer enough.

[Roy Firestone]

is it me or has Austin Hays grounded into a ton of double plays or near double plays lately? I haven't seen a driven ball from him in weeks...

Unfortunately, it's not just you.

He might not be in our plans for next year anyway.  You got Kjerstad, Cowser and even Stowers being possible additions.  He might get traded for something else to help us.

I jturned on the MLB.com broadcast looking forward to enjoying game about 8 min. ago and it's been nothing but this endless interview about everything from community service to patting one's own back about supporting philanthropy and what it's been like for Kyle to be on a winning team! Ok, ok I get it--individualizing the players, make the broadcasters sound like people as decent as KB, but jeesh DO THE PBP or JUST LET ME WATCH THE DARN GAME, I LIKE LISTENING TO THE GAME THE SOUND OF BAT ON BALL, THE CROWD
