2 great games so far.

Lame that the MFY and Red Sux are the 2 national games this weekend.

I actual prefer a one o’clock game Sunday. We get the extra rest. The Yankees will be playing and then hopping in their beds around 2 AM.

And it was fun!   Great crowds, good games, we win 2 of 3 and outscore them by 7 in the series.

We've caught the Phillies for overall #2 record in baseball, too, at 47-24.  

If we finish with the same record as the Phillies, and face them in the World Series, we will have home field for games 1, 2, 6, and 7 because today's game won the head to head regular season battle with them.

And we'd go into that series knowing we can hit their best starter, too.

Have been out of town in AZ all weekend so havnt been able to watch.  I followed on game thread and game day and it seemed like a heck of a series.  Go Birds!! Bring on the Yankees.  I think we sweep.

Epic series, playoff atmosphere. Nice to dunk on the Red Sox of the NL and their dumb broadcasters.

Genuinely curious: why are they dumb? Wasn’t listening to them so don’t know.

Don't make me DirtyBird you! They have good announcers!

They literally said the only reason it was sold out was because there were more Phillies fans then Orioles fans. Completely false.

You're probably right, but Phillies fans did contribute to that quite a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more Phillies fans.

    • HEY YANKEES! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnxNRPy_SOA
    • Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.
    • Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx. 
    • The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.
    • Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.
    • If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
