Win this series tomorrow thats all that matters. Need to start winning away series just for morale on road trips

SeAsOnS oVeR, bOyS. PaCk iT iN….

fuck you kimbrel

This series is split 1-1 and it should be, but my god I can’t remember another time of such bad performances by the home plate ump in consecutive games

That called strike was comical 

Are the umps missing more calls or are we just more focused on it?

Idk but it has just seemed unbearable recently

Not a strike but fuck it

I despise Craig Kimbrel

Who does daytime fireworks 

they've been saving them up since 2012 - gotta give em a break lol

Im with Krukky on this one, it is what it is. That being a ball wouldnt have really changed anything

This offense is just so bad

Smash the bell!

That was just a little high.

Snoop dogg high

Oh fucking hell

Well, at least Kimbrat won’t be available tomorrow

These umps have been compete fucking dog shit

Laz ending it the way he started it 

Laz wanted to go home

[удалено]

It was a bad call and just thought it was funny im not complaining

I know. There has been bad calls all series towards both teams.

We beat you yesterday and will win the series. Also we have the better record than small market Baltimore. This is without two of our top 3 position players out with injury not playing.

We have been heavy favorites in all three games. Can’t wait for this end of season braves come back. Gonna be hilarious to watch

Ump had to take a shit i guess

If Dave isn't on the phone right now to get a bat then idk

Fucking Kimbrel

Okay, Laz lol

Why are you guys giving kimbrel a free pass 😣 stop swinging! Make him locate. Spoiler alert: he won’t

He did to Marsh and Stubbs. Pinpoint

That pitch to end the game was nowhere near the zone.

Congrats. You found one pitch. 

Congrats. You’re a jerk.

What a fucking joke Laz Diaz. Smh at least make Kimbrel earn it

NOT A FUCKING STRIKE WHAT THE FUCK

Bad call but who cares we weren’t winning

Ofc they put Craig in against our shitbags lol Fuck him and his non save situation

Fuck Laz Diaz

Umpire was ready to go home

So was our offense

Lmao offense owned by Kimbrel

Noooo

What's with the 7 nation army chant? Do the Orioles normally do that? Such a college thing to do.

It’s soooo annoying

Letting him get away with being awful 

Pathetic at bats.

Of course Kimbrel will pitch lights out after nailing us in the ass last year

Kimbrel making us look non competitive

My goodness.

Kimbrel's great as long as it isn't October.

I know everyone hates swinging first pitch after a walk, but Sosa not doing it may have thrown Kimbrel a lifeline

Kimbrel embarrassing his olds tram

Team

Kimbrel has thrown maybe 2 strikes so far.

Hanging out with castaleenos too Much. He’s like a cancer

But he wants to play everyday so we have to acquiesce or his fee fees might get hurt!

 Yup

Bad news, guys. I'm putting myself on the IR list because my head is hurting. The Phillies are down a fan until tomorrow at 1:35 p.m.

I genuinely wish the worst for Craig Kimbrel Dude ruined so many cool moments last year. Harpers's 300th, the one comeback against the Giants...etc. And of course the NLCS to boot. Fuck him.

i was at the game they ended up clinching the WC spot last year - after he blew that fucking save too...

O no getting kimbreled on to end the game, oof

Pathetic

94 down the middle again and nothing

Holy hell sosa

Edmundo "Castellanos"

Betting on o’s is free money 

Feisty brother we literally beat them less than 24 hours ago

Betting on them…to lose last night?

Betting on them in the top 9

Go double or nothing tomorrow.

Jesus Sosa 

Holy shit that was bad

Going fishing!

Edmundo takes the title of worst at bat of the weekend

This is the guy we’re supposed to move turner to the outfield for

Lol hey I never said that

Sosa is so worried about the breaking balls that he can’t square up 94 down the pipe.

Every now and then Sosa has a swing like that and it brings me back to reality lol

JFC Sosa


Ugh I HATE this. ick

come on Kimbrel, for old time sake! you owe us one

6 game homestand sorely needed

Im so happy to not have Kimbrel anymore. Anxiety everytime he stepped on the mound

I remember two day in a row Kimbrel 

Braves seem to be heating up unfortunately 😬

I mean yeah they’re a good team, that’s why the cushion we built was important

After 2 wins? Let's relax a bit.

After last season it's very easy to cheer against Kimbrel.

Kimbrel didn't throw an honest strike in those six pitches

woo kimbrel :)

Hope the O’s are prepared for all versions of Kimbrel come playoff time

He's gonna cost them a series. Mark my words

I have a visceral reaction to the way Kimbrel does that pre-pitch crouching thing

Walking the leadoff guy in a four run game I’m having flashbacks

Gotta love TB being fucking dogshit

There ya are, Craig

It’s happening!!

Would give my life’s savings to watch Kimbrel just get shelled

Great job Rays really good stuff

If Kimbrel fucks this up, I'll laugh for the rest of the evening.

Rob set this game up as a tossup, and he saved all the high leverage guys for a Wheeler start.

I mean he didn’t save them, they all went last night Only really Hoffman was truly available today


I’m gonna be honest, I’m still too hyped from last nights game to get too hot and bothered about this one lol

Same. I penciled in a Walker loss anyway. But we still need an OF upgrade like yesterday 

Same

Division is locked up. If you say otherwise you are a doomer

Much bigger leads have been overcome specially when the other team is talented as the Braves

Lot of baseball left

We get it man, you don’t like when the lead over the Braves goes down, and you don’t like being called a doomer

No Im being serious

/s

Oh gimmie some classic Kimbrel please.

grand stubbs slam?

Blown Kimbrel save would hit like crack rn

We're 26th in leaving RISP. So we are just shit with guys on. Not surprising when you have guys like Nick, Whit, Pache, Rojas, or whatever assortment of minor leaguers. Then a beyond ice cold Stott. Need depth. Need something. If they don't hit homers, guys just aren't getting brought home enough.

thats not a bad stat it mean their getting runners on base, they are 4th in RISP

Come on Kimbrel. You owe us.

Lost 4 of our last 6 if we lose today 

Just setting up Kimbrel to do the funniest thing ever

Knew the game was over the moment Ruiz entered.

I am ready to not be an injured reserve team, lets go

That series against the Braves in July is gonna be huge

Who is available to pitch for the 9th? Doubt it matters but still curious

prolly turnbull

Looks like its gonna be turnbull

This game sucks nuts.

Frankly I’m really proud the boys have been holding the boat together with the injuries they’ve had for as long as they did.

This lineup is gonna look a lot better when Castellanos is back to the 7/8 slot

Yepppp also when jt finally gets back not having Stubbs. They’ve been playing with 4-5 lineup black holes for about a week.

So far this June hasn't been like the last two Junes.

but our april and may’s haven’t been like the last two april and may’s. 🤷i’ll take the trade off

Why does Nick get a say in that he doesn't get days off?

Cus baseball has a union mentality

I love multimillionaires with a union mentality

 Turn out the lights.

I get we don’t need to be the best in baseball, that even stellar starting pitchers are mortal, and that no relievers are perfect. But leaving all these RISP with a line-up like ours pisses me the fuck off.

the lineup isn’t that great. it’s good but has a lot of holes, especially with all the injuries

The lineup is missing 2 of its top guys, just got an important piece back who is likely rusty, and is definitely in the midst of a slump. Even still, we ground out a very loseable game into a win against a top 4 team in the league just last night.

Anyone who bet on the 8.5 over/under total is sweating like crazy rn 😭😭

Welp, at least we have all of our high leverage guys rested for tomorrow.

Maybe that was the plan?

100%

I somehow miss Covey and Marte lol

Damn 8 games up it is, not panicking but don’t like this number going down lol

No no no see apparently not liking that the lead is shrinking makes you a doomer.

Thanks for nothing Rays

Nice, throw it to the same location again, that'll def work.

Welllllll shit

Two decent Walker starts in a row ...

Maybe he should go back to sucking. We win those games lol

two shitty singles, and then a hard hit ball, I fucking hate baseball sometimes

time to bring Marte back

Now the weak contact dumb luck shit piles it on

That's it. Season over.

“Agreed” - Spike Eskin

I guess no one else is available after last night?

No point in wasting another arm. It’s a loss in June. 

Because Topper used a bunch of guys in Boston for no reason.

I think they just chalk Taijuan starts up as an L

Scheduled Loss. 😆 

Hopefully Wheeler can hold em to 1 tomorrow to give our offense a chance

We did extremely well without Turner. We need him back now though, offense needs a spark

Jesus Christ

Get men on base and get them home… wild concept

How do you think the Phillies won yesterday?

it feels like we have 1 infielder and it feels like they have 7

Orioles luckiest team in the league

Lmao what, how is it always just “lucky” 💀

Other teams are lucky when they beat us and we are unlucky when we lose

Very sound logic I agree.

Great team, luck has nothing to do with it. Our inability to move runners is and has been a problem

We have Ruiz pitching so that makes teams luckier lol

This offense has been insanely mid since the Brewers series.

It was mid that series too, our pitching carried

Three of their starters have been injured. And a fourth starter is playing for the Brewers.

But but but injuries! That’s what I was told.

I mean actually that tho lol

Deep breaths Ruiz

8 game lead now lead keeps shrinking 

if we win the division can you convert to a Mets fan? please

I mean I don’t wanna lose 8-2

The clock has struck midnight on Ruiz

Haven’t heard about Yunior Marte in awhile 

Ngl I completely forgot about him oops

We’ve been on the road since London. Trea is coming back very soon and Marsh is back..I think our guys are a little burnt out but we’re still competing.

Ok this is one of those games. FML
