White Sox have us right where they want us. Runner at 3rd. Nobody out.

Well that was predictable.  How do you prevent the O's from scoring?  Give them a runner at 3rd and no outs.

I’ve been away from home and I didn’t have Wi-Fi, when I got home and checked the score and saw that they had scored two runs in the top of the first, I said to myself, “damn that Povich.”

I was surprised to be reminded that it is our ace on the mound.

Well, that should quiet down an excited crowd. Welcome back to Camdan Yards to see the biggest choking team that you will see with a runner on 3rd. Doesn't matter if 0, 1 or 2 outs, they will absolutely choke. they'll K, popup, or ground out weakly. 

This team has no team approach. Santander, who will end the worse 40-home run guy in the history of the game swing through a slightly high 92 MPH fastball then swings and misses at an up in 90 MPH cutter that a single-A hitter wouldn't swing at.

Then here comes Mr. Rookie of the year favorite, swinging at a changeup a foot and half off the strike zone twice, before getting blown away by 93 MPH fastball at his neck (ball 7 that he saw.

And don't worry, Mullins will be happy to pop up to the 2B to end the inning.

I'm awfully glad we have Emmanuel Rivera in this lineup...it would be a shame to get a power hitter going in Coby Mayo...

The umpire isn’t very good today

[Aristotelian]

The WS lineup has zero hitters with .700 OPS.

[Moose Milligan]

At least the ump is calling it both ways. 

[Baseball fandom]

So Orioles like only score hitting homeruns. We seen this time and again. 

[Pat Kelly]

Offensive strategy coach. Sell out for the homer, launch angle…don’t waste time with contact hitting, singles.   Too much bad input to these hitters.  It’s pretty obvious.

The book's out on Cowser. No fastballs.

Sure you can throw him fastballs. Get him to two strikes with changeups off the plate, then throw one at his eyes that he's swing through. Pitchers should be fined for throwing him a fastball over the plate.

We're lucky that's not the extra innings rule.

Error, missed cutoff, and 2x missed sac fly opportunities. That's the 2024 Orioles in a nutshell.

With where they were playing Santander, all he had to do was just put a ball in play and a run would have scored. (Other than a pop out or comebacker to the pitcher).

Boras will be calling Burns after today's game and be like WTH dude wake the freak  up you are costing us money big time with this $h!t show your putting out there the last month and half 

The best part is that I can visualize Boras telling him exactly that.
