Orioles haven’t hit a soft tossing  pitcher in 30 years

Even in the 90s a game against Nolan Ryan or Randy Johnson didn’t worry me, but some junk baller like Jamie Moyer meant bad news.

Rom seems to have Adley Rutschman's number.

It is not Rom .. it is US!!!!

Every hitter in this lineup is late on this guy’s92-92 fastball… every one, every at bat 

It makes zero sense.  He throws pitches I would crush....or at least feel like I should.  I mean my god this guy sucked in the minors.

But this team does this.

 

This is why I don't trust this team.

Bwahaha.. A no hitter for Rom? 

Every Oriole in the lineup should be forced to give their paychecks to charity. 

Rom couldn't get AAA hitters out but he's no hitting the Orioles thru 4? 

I mean, good for Rom to stick it to the Orioles for trading him, but good Lord, this is kind of a joke after getting embarrassed yesterday.

Hell If I was playing the Orioles I'd just pitch soft tossing AAA pitchers at them.

It really is, well, “befuddled” isn’t the word I’d use…

If Gibson can keep them off the scoreboard this inning, the Orioles are going to win. If not, then no.

Comparing Drew Rom to Jamie Moyer is laughable.

most pathetic offensive performance ive seen by the Orioles since yesterday

[Moose Milligan]

I picture @Can_of_corn being like that dude at the end of the Skyrizzi commercial. At some street fair and some performer hands him a tambourine and CoC is like, really, me? And the guy is like yeah, come on! And then CoC starts marching down the street with this band playing the tambourine and he’s having the time of his life.

Moyer was a good pitcher, but I can’t remember the name of some scrub junk pitcher from 30 years ago.

Can we trade Flaherty back to the Cardinals for Rom?

Great idea! Also throw Palacios in.

Adley, sigh.

Adley?  I mean I said this to my wife in the first game of the year against Boston.  He went 5 for 5 or something but every hit was weak.

 

And he has done that all year.

 

He rarely hits a hard hit ball.  Where he crushes it.  He is always trying to place the ball with a weak swing.  So sick of it.

[Spakman]

To be fair, it’s just one run. Rom can’t pitch much longer.

Sit Rutschman. He needs a break. And why is he hitting lead-off anyway? A catcher/DH?

 

[Jagwar]

Excellent start by Gibson

[O's84]

Gibson has more than did his part.
