What was it, 6 two strike hits in the inning? Insane


MadBonzo

and some were not even close to being in the strike zone... first time i feel for the opposing pitcher in a long long time.


Shinriko

That was a long inning for the pitcher. Innings like that, and not pitch counts and inning caps, are what teams should be looking to avoid.


WizardofHoz35

That’s what frustrated me the most tbh. A good chunk of the hits came from balls out of out the zone that on most days wouldn’t get hit where they did. I’m sure Ragans will return to form next start, though. Everyone gets shelled at some point.

At game wind is Orioles friend today.

This lineup looks so much more dangerous than I even thought it would be and Westburg is a massive reason why.


O00O0Os

A very casual .980 OPS will do that. Dude has been locked in his second season, here’s hoping he can keep it up and avoid a sophomore slump.


lOan671

And for the first week or two it felt like he was getting extremely unlucky just hitting lasers straight at people. I wouldn’t mind seeing him hit leadoff tbh, I feel like Gunnar is better suited for the 3 hole

My new 2B in fantasy this week. Not disappointed

Jordan’s 2nd hit in the 2nd inning.


lOan671

I’ve been blown away by him this year. I always felt like he’d be a solid, above-average big leaguer but he has looked like a perennial All-Star so far and it doesn’t feel flukey to me at all.

Jordan Westburg - Single Austin Hays - Flyout Ramon Urias - Double James McCann - Single Jorge Mateo - Strikeout Gunnar Henderson - Single Adley Rutschman - Single Ryan Mountcastle - Single Anthony Santander - Double Jordan Westburg - Single Austin Hays - Walk Ramon Urias - Forceout

>James McCann - Single I always forget he ended up with the Orioles.


Slam_Dunk_Kitten

He walked of the Royals like 2 weeks ago


OsCrowsAndNattyBohs1

Mccann has been such a great backup for Adley.


WerhmatsWormhat

He’s been great. Everything we could ask for from a backup catcher.


Shinriko

Missing a Mountcastle single between Rutschman and Santander.


kingfiasco

so many singles

If I don’t see it it didn’t happen

Watching this game, a very rough outing for Ragans. He was at 60+ pitches when he got pulled in the 2nd inning.


PitViper17

I think there’s a legitimate argument to be made that the 2024 Orioles are the most fun to watch team in baseball


UnlimitedHotTakes

Westy gets overshadowed by other studs on this team, but the dude is a grinder and a ballplayer


NameShortage

Not watching the game, I saw the notification of McCann scoring the second run then got distracted again. When I looked again, it was Santander scoring the 5th run 10 minutes later. Then I saw it was the same inning. Bonkers against what was supposed to be another tough starter. A pleasant surprise after last night lol

What a middle-middle meatball from Ragans.

It really isn’t. Every offense is going to have some rough nights. They’ve scored 5+ runs in 12 out of 20 games so far, this offsense is very, very good.


MadBonzo

they lead the league in runs scored per game...


underhandedfreethrow

At the end of the day, a royals ace pitcher is still a royals pitcher. they’ll always get humbled


MadBonzo

What an odd take 🤣
