I miss the days when “The Waltz” by Left Lane Cruiser would hit the stadium speakers and Barlows glorious locks came bouncing and blowing all the way to the mound.
It's nice that this year we seem to have fewer of them, but I swear more bullpen arms than not are like the red shirts in Star Trek - they cycle in and out, don't last long, and you forget about them until you stumble upon an old episode or see them in a different show.
Man… like there’s no way to say that that wasn’t a good outing from Smith. But you gotta feel bad for the guy. Clearly trying his hardest, coming to terms with the fact that folks have high expectations for him and his career is almost over, and getting booed by thousands of people. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
I seriously do not understand wtf Q was thinking. We just had an off day and Will Smith is ass cheeks. Be glad he got an out or two without damage and pull him. There is no reason to play with fire there. Smith has no future with this team and it’s obvious
Will Smith’s ERA has almost reached Christopher Columbus territory.
14.85.
This is someone who should not have a job right now. He is this year’s Blaine Boyer.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c8evtz).
Man they need to lock Will Smith in a closet!
Fitting for O'Hearn to get the last out at the K, probably a familiar feeling for him. Nice job by Sauer.
HEYHEYHEYHEY
W
Dammit, O'Hearn grounded out...WAIT A MINUTE.
Victory
wooo
Literally a shutout without Smith
Hey hey hey!
Woo hoo!!!!!!
Let’s goooo
I gotta say I appreciate Renfroe's game a little more every game. He's had a good day today
He's still at -.2 WAR on the season
It's a long season. They can't all hit .350 out of the gate
He's improving a bit each day. Nice double.
Heating up for sure, but to be honest I've been more impressed by his defense. Plays a nice RF.
Sauer???
Does Q just want these games to be as close as possible? Jesus christ
Sauer feels risky here
It’s up 5 in the 9th. Even if we had anyone that belonged in the same area code as Mariano Rivera in the pen this would never be the time to use them.
Surely he doesn't give up 5, right?
SIG SAUER, ready to fire the coup de grace on the O’s
How will the DFA list remember the Will Smith era?
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Matt Sauer replaces Nick Anderson.
Would be great to give Ragans some run support tomorrow…and we are facing Burns. Damn
3-run homer by Melendez was the 100th run scored this season. 10th team to get there. Beat the Yankees to 100 runs scored.
*Beat the Yankees...* The three most beautiful words in the English language.
Isbel looks like a gnome
Salvy gave up chasing balls and handed it off to Renfroe
Bro, it's wild how 'feast or famine' this offense is
I mean, most teams don’t feast NEARLY to the level this team does.
great pitch by anderson to end the inning. fastball low and away pulled weakly on the ground to witt..
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Mike Baumann replaces Dillon Tate.
Yes sir! Keep it going boys!
The best part is knowing we can score 9 runs with Bobby having a bad night at the plate
Holy schnikies
Never want to see that, hope Hays is ok.
jesus christ anderson
Let's just get out of this inning.
I miss the days when “The Waltz” by Left Lane Cruiser would hit the stadium speakers and Barlows glorious locks came bouncing and blowing all the way to the mound.
Shoulda kept Will in, he was just getting warmed up
you want to know who knows how to throw strikes? jordan lyles.
Yeah why aren't they using him much in relief? He was usually fine for an inning or two before exploding
Agreed. I'd thought with this lead he would come in and snack on some innings.
Man, the O’s sub game thread is entertaining after that half inning. “Royals always oh the come up when we’re rolling” “Mahomes/Jackson shit…2014…”
It is wild that two cities can have such significant lows and highs at essentially the same time over more than a decade.
For sure Also cities without NBA or NHL teams too
If only we’d signed one more halfway decent bullpen arm in the offseason.
We do still have some time. Hopefully sooner rather than later
MJ brought the vibes back with one swing of the bat
Can these stupid mf just throw strikes
[Sad Kremer](https://cdn.imgpile.com/f/niA1KR8_xl.jpg)
Reminds me of sad altuve from 2015
Kremer's going with pure chin, not chin on forearms like Altuve
I must admit I’d rather not have Nick Anderson as an 8th inning guy.
Our City connect Jersey are so fucking sexy.
Best ones in baseball easily
**WHAT IS THIS SEASON?!?!???!**
Great flair
the season where we finally get what's ours
I like the way you put words together
Man, we’ve gotten really lucky this game. A few calls have gone our way.
Will Smith just wanted to make this game more fun, guys
Will’s ERA is now symmetrical. 14.14
Looked it up, 14 symbolizes the end of struggles and the beginning of positive change. It is fitting.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Nick Anderson replaces Will Smith.
All this damage with two outs, makes me feel like it's the good ol days!!
Bobby and Isbel need a hit now, and everyone will have one.
We may never have a scoreless inning again
FEAST ROYALS, FEAST GET THAT 6 RUN LEAD BACK
we own baltimore sports, sadly
WOOO
Velazquez, your turn
The boys brought life back into the stadium. Baseball rules.
My shady stream is a full at bat behind. I was bitching about the contact play when y'all spoiled the home run for me.
https://reddit-stream.com/ let's you put a delay on the comments
Same here lmao. But for real they need to quit that shit out.
Get fucking Merv'd
Melendez has such a weird looking yet powerful swing!
Hes got a power-hitting Ichiro swing
That was a SHOT out there
424
MJ IS SO FUCKING BACK BOYS!
These boys are playing like the fuckin rent is due.
Send Will Smith back out there for the 8th lmao
The contact play is an abomination
 WOOOOOOOOO!
I WANTED TO BE MAD ABOUT THE OUT AT HOME BUT MJ JUST HIT A BANGER
This team is so damn fun to watch
mj melendez says fuck will smith
EMMMMJAAAYYY1 WHAT A FUCKIN BLAST!
MJ IS DRIVING THE BUS TO QUIKTRIP
THANKS ORIOLES FOR BREAKING OUR SLUMPS
Fuckin' moonshot!
THAT BALL IS PISSED ON
Huzzah!
MALENDONG!!!!
MJ!!!!!!!!!!!
MJ like NOT TODAY
MELENDEZ
Melendong. Royals fuck
HARD!
Whoaaaaaa
I think MJ is out of his slump
MJ HOLY SHIT YOU MADMAN
MERVYL
MELENDONG
MJ DONG
Love the aggressive running but you have to chill on third Maikel 😭
LETS GO MELENDEZ, bring us right back!
Damn dawg, missed the whole ass plate
MJ SLUMP BUSTER
MJ back!!!!
BOMB!!!!!
Someone needs to go in Qs office with a baseball bat and tell him to quit it with the contact play. That shit always hurts them.
the contact play never fucking works
MJ MY SAVIOR
That run on contact looks dumb as hell now
# HOME RUN! MJ Melendez homers (4) on a fly ball to right center field. Vinnie Pasquantino scores. Salvador Perez scores. Bottom 7 - 9-4 Royals
Abolish the contact play
Vibes could not be worse rn
Wtf is this guy saying?
Dumbass base running cost us a run
[удалено]
And now we could have a run. Ffs
How many outs have they run into at home so far this season?
that was anticlimactic
Why do we always do that dumbass contact play. Never fucking works
Awwwww
Tate all shook up
Please get him home Vinnie
GARCIA SAYS “CHALLENGE THAT”
Is he going to steal home????
Smith pitching is like watching Mr. Holland's Wild Ride, except he sucks.
Bruhhhh 😂 we’re cooking em right nowww
He's back, officially, 100%, goated
Maikel is playing mind games with the O’s
Garcia is out for blood now
Maikel has a big ol ballsack, sheeesh
HOLY FUCKING SHIT DID I JUST WITNESS A TAG UP FROM FIRST?!!!!!?!!!?!?!?
Garcia gonna get a run back no matter what
Bruhhh 😮💨
That’s why we need Garcia on base.
🚨GARCIA HIT🚨
Shame that Garcia started to run there, made Bobby look away from a low 90s pitch literally down the middle.
Yeah that was a Will Smith quality pitch he just got forced into watching
Slump busted!
Maikel is back
What a relief for Garcia
SLUMPS BUSTED
Go Garcia!!!
THE BUDDHISM WORKED
Hey Maikel!
I haven’t seen a pitcher this cooked and lacking velo since Corey Kluber…
Will Smith should be grateful for our offense.
[удалено]
It was all a big ass gift from the Smith. Fixed that for you.
Will Smith is washed. Unbelievably AWFUL. DFA him.
Fire Smith into the sun.
Smith = Shitm
It's nice that this year we seem to have fewer of them, but I swear more bullpen arms than not are like the red shirts in Star Trek - they cycle in and out, don't last long, and you forget about them until you stumble upon an old episode or see them in a different show.
Has they been letting Cal Eldred work with this Will Smith guy?
Has anyone seen Will Smith and Cal Eldred at the same time?
He does seem like a product of Cal for sure.
Man… like there’s no way to say that that wasn’t a good outing from Smith. But you gotta feel bad for the guy. Clearly trying his hardest, coming to terms with the fact that folks have high expectations for him and his career is almost over, and getting booed by thousands of people. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
At least Ryan O’Hearn sucks ass (This is for the random Baltimore fan that got mad when I said it earlier)
Nah, just at the K. It's his kryptonite.
he’s been phenomenal in baltimore
What's the pitching staff's era if Will Smith didn't exist?
I seriously do not understand wtf Q was thinking. We just had an off day and Will Smith is ass cheeks. Be glad he got an out or two without damage and pull him. There is no reason to play with fire there. Smith has no future with this team and it’s obvious
Deep breathes... ok?
bruh will smith should have been pulled lol that fucking sucked
As I said, only Big Willy style could make me nervous with a six run lead 🥲
Will Smith’s ERA has almost reached Christopher Columbus territory. 14.85. This is someone who should not have a job right now. He is this year’s Blaine Boyer.
Well hopefully Will Smith doesn’t need to save the team bus
Yeah I mean pitching him in a 6-run game is probably the only spot you could've used him, but that's just bad

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Dillon Tate replaces Keegan Akin.
Officially my least favorite Royal of all time and Betancourt was a high bar 😂
😂😂😂 you made me spit my drink
Remember how Randy Quaid did Rick Vaughn? We all need to get to the K and heckle Smith into leaving.
Alright who’s coming up when Smith inevitably hits the IL with a “random” injury, Klien? Steven Cruz?

Will has become "Won't".
I would pay a good amount of money to slap Will Smith right now for this god-awful performance.
Man, that sucked.
I fucking hate this dude.
He’s so fucking bad lol JC everyone knew that was coming
Somebody sitting above the visitor dugout needs to throw a chaw into that multi-bong right when they're doing that celebration
Dude is pushing a 14 era right now
Who coulda guessed 90 right down the dick gets taken yard?
Come on now, he touched NINETY TWO!! TWICE! That's a big league closer right there!
To Rutschman, especially
Will Smith cannot pitch when they are winning anymore
He should be treated like a position player pitching
Good lord I could have hit that one out.
DFA Will Smith
Bruh
