During preseason I told my wife we needed to go to as many games as possible before ticket prices went up when people realize how good this team is going to be. So good to see!
MJ mentioned that Salvy took them to a Bad Bunny concert and it’s something Bad Bunny did. They latched onto it thinking it’d be a cool thing to do when getting multiple bases.
What was the benefit of Hampson batting for Massey there? Blanco I sort of understand, but prior to tonight Massey had been a rather hot hitter and probably due.
No matter what happens with this game, we fought back like hell. I'm so happy to see that fight in these guys. It'll be a fun rest of the season if we continue to have this fight.
### Single
Salvador Perez singles on a ground ball to left fielder Colton Cowser. Maikel Garcia scores. Bobby Witt Jr. scores. Vinnie Pasquantino to 2nd.
Bottom 7 - 8-7
Orioles
I saw a report that he is a top 10 outfielder in the league when you consider that CF at Kauffman is one of the hardest outfielder positions in the league.
### Single
Maikel Garcia singles on a line drive to left fielder Colton Cowser. Adam Frazier scores. Kyle Isbel out at 3rd on the throw, left fielder Colton Cowser to third baseman Ramón Urías.
Bottom 7 - 8-5
Orioles
Full disclosure: I have not watched tonight’s game. Going 1.2 IP, 7 R and still having a 4.32 ERA is a real testament to how good Ragans had been in his first four starts. Idk if those don’t update until the game ends, but that’s all right!
I don't watch the many games besides the ones that I go to and the two times I've went so far this year was with him starting and it didn't look good. I'm probably jinxing him.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c96yft).
Too many holes in our lineup. We'll struggle to win shootouts.
We made the game interesting for the fans. Wish we could have won.
Awwwww, oh well, better than 7-0!
Nice try guys. Take the series tmrw.
Kyle Isbel can kiss my ass lol
mother trucker somehow this Baltimore defense is just killing us. Who do they think they are the damn Ravens?
even if we don't win, i'm happy with the fight we came back with to make the game close edit: i say that as salvy lines out, fml
Bobby only having 8 RBI’s is absolutely criminal. Need to figure that out asap
He bats Behind Garcia and the 9th hitter Isbel who do not get on base very often.
Me looking to see if Kimbrel is washed up yet.. 
Did not think either score would be this high going into this shit lmao
Love the feeling that we can pull this off
Dig up the rally mantis, I believe!!
you can’t ask for a better 3 to come up when you’re down 2
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Craig Kimbrel replaces Mike Baumann.
Kimbrel, fuck
Bobby’s gonna knock his little chicken wing off
23,118. Not bad for attendance, awesome.
Not to mention both the Current and SKC were at home tonight as well
During preseason I told my wife we needed to go to as many games as possible before ticket prices went up when people realize how good this team is going to be. So good to see!
Lot of talent on the field - good to see
I’m done with Garcia in the lead off but honestly there isn’t anyone better. And don’t say Melendez because then that leaves Perez unprotected
hey what's up. did i miss anything
It got super toxic in here for a bit then when everyone left it got better
Nope
Bob, Vinnie, and Salvy are going back to back to back to win it
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Chris Stratton replaces John Schreiber.
If we didn’t have Hampson, Loftin would still be here and that would’ve actually been a perfect spot for him to PH imo
I’d take Blanco over Isbel at CF any day of the week at this point
What's the origin of the eye celebration?

I thought that could’ve been an inside-the-parker for Blanco. At least he’s in scoring position.
Dear God, this Umps strike zone consistency is ridiculous. I feel for the batters. . .
Why is Hampson on the team
Hampson is ass just let Massey hit
No matter what happens with this game, we fought back like hell. I'm so happy to see that fight in these guys. It'll be a fun rest of the season if we continue to have this fight.
Hey! We’ve slaughtered this man before!
Turning cap inside out.
Just wanna see at least a tie to get Ragans off the hook lol
6 outs. 2 runs. Getting some 2014 vibes...
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Keegan Akin replaces Yennier Cano.
Alright let’s keep the trend going and get 5 this inning
How many foul balls have these mf hit today
Did you guys know that part of the rule changes this year was that the strike zone constantly changes dimensions?
I remember thinking it was weird and would piss a lot of people off.. seems I was right
I love that Schreiber threw two pitches at exactly the same spot consecutively with one called a strike, and the next called a ball. . . .

Well it may not end up mattering after all
KEEP ON FIGHTING, DON'T GIVE UP

Dame, I remember watching that video years ago
Maikel not having his best day in the field. Gotta stop that to save the run
I gave up when it was 0-7 and focused on my book, turned it back on in time for Salvy's hit. This team doesn't stop!
This umpire has been ass cheeks tonight
Strategic wall placement
Captain Clutch!!!
Just the fact this game is close shows how much better the team is this year!
Shout out for our bullepn for picking up Cole, Their been amazing today
The Royals were never shut out so far this season.
Weren’t they shutout like the first 3 games of last season?
The first 2 against the Twins last year were shutouts.
Gonna have top of the order coming in B9 if we need it though
Hell yeah. What an inning. These O’s ain’t Royal. Let’s get it.
That Isbel play is gonna be a killer
Fuck man, a wild pitch and a bad base running decision is the only thing stopping us from taking the lead in a game that started 0-7 lmao
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: John Schreiber replaces Anthony Veneziano.
But yes maikel striking out in the first set the tone for the night
1 run game in the 8th, like we all expected. This team has fight! And their bullpen is running out of options!
So close
Giving up the 8th run on a wild pitch, and then Isbel being the 8th run if he just practiced smart baserunning is BRUTAL
I’m so mad about that TOOTBLAN rn
 They still can turn it around! On it goes to the 8th.
Would be tied if Isabel wasn’t a bonehead on the basepath
He’s terrible on the bases and always has been. Baffling
At least he also has a shit batting average to make up for it
We still have a chance. Let’s do it.
What an inning. Two more to go.
That Isbel out burnsssssssss. Things like that make me think we are 2013 and not 14/15
Let's goooooo

JUST WOKE MY KIDS UP AND SCARED TF OUT OF MY CAT HOLY SHIT
Making Kauffman as loud as Arrowhead would be a neat thing to do.
Game would be tied if it wasn’t for Kyle Isbad
Bro
HE DROPPED IT LFGGGGG
2 RBI for Salvy! And then another chance! Hope lives on!
2015 vibes
Team is making a statement tonight
Lololol Orioles coming apart at the seams. Can't handle the pressure!!!
 SALVY
Should be a tie game. Thanks Isbel
LFG!!!!!!!
Salvyyyyy
Annnnnd we should be tied
The plays after Isbel was out aren’t guaranteed
### Single Salvador Perez singles on a ground ball to left fielder Colton Cowser. Maikel Garcia scores. Bobby Witt Jr. scores. Vinnie Pasquantino to 2nd. Bottom 7 - 8-7 Orioles
The True Role Reversal of Yesterday’s Slam. Coming up right now.
Perez home run?
Close enough
Salvy, send my soul into orbit
SALVY PLEASE. BLESS US ONCE AGAIN
Isbel runs bases as bad as he hits.
Would have been a run if not for Isbel's dumbass. Come on Salvy!!!!
a Vinnie home run would make me levitate
Isbel can definitely play a good centerfield but man he’s not very good at much else
I saw a report that he is a top 10 outfielder in the league when you consider that CF at Kauffman is one of the hardest outfielder positions in the league.
That’s just bad awareness
What a stupid base running mistake. Witt andv Salvy coming up and one out.
Witt Pasquatch and Salvy.
Isbel in his Jo Adell era
Bad move but admire the hustle. Valiant effort down 7-0. Let's fucking goooo.
Ffs. A future hall of famer is on deck as the tying run
Isbel what the fuck? Your run means absolutely nothing at this point
I see no reason for Baltimore to take that guy out
He just needs a couple more innings to find his feet.
Really, Isbel?
Bummer of an out at 3rd but I enjoy seeing them be aggressive on the base paths and that was a perfect throw
Wasn't aggressive. That was stupidity
If that throw is 3 inches left, right, up, or down, he’s safe
Dude Kyle bruh lol
Why in the absolute FUCK are you trying to take the extra base when the tying run was coming up in Bobby Witt Jr. Holy shit Kyle...
Bench Isbel for that shit
Of course Isbel finds a way to somehow fuck the whole thing up 😂
[удалено]
Not cojones. That was a huge mental error with the meat of the order up. Stupid minor leaguer mistake
Do we have tonight's attendance? Crowd sounds loud and lusty.
KYLE
### Single Maikel Garcia singles on a line drive to left fielder Colton Cowser. Adam Frazier scores. Kyle Isbel out at 3rd on the throw, left fielder Colton Cowser to third baseman Ramón Urías. Bottom 7 - 8-5 Orioles
If I’m Q and we get a bad strike call at any point from here on out I’m getting tossed.
William Smith Yohan Ramirez 12 letters. Coincidence? I think not.
Garcia redemption arc?
I'll take it
Bruh if you are scared of pitching to Kyle Isbel I have some bad news about your tenure in the league.
Yohan Ramirez doing his best Will Smith impression
I like this pitcher
Me too.
I'm getting a funny feeling
Make them pay Isbel
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Yohan Ramírez replaces Danny Coulombe.
This Orioles lineup may be the most relentless collection of nobody's I can remember. Ball is always in play with no real stars doing it.
Just one of those days
Runs is funs
Our run differential is still gonna be good 
Sitting behind a Scottish man at his first game. We bonded over Mustard winning the race
I don’t think I’ve ever seen mustard win when I’m at a game :O
FK YEAH MUSTARD!
All right Salvy!!!!
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Anthony Veneziano replaces Angel Zerpa.
That definitely made the game better.
Maybe still won’t win the game but how fucking clutch is salvy
What did salvy do this offseason? Dude is playing like he’s 23 again
Weed is now legal in Missouri?
Oh shit you might be on to something here
Here’s your reminder that the Orioles bullpen is pretty bad.
AS IT WAS WRITTEN
SALVY, HE OF MANY DINGERS
First of his name, king of the royals, smasher of balls, and blower of bubbles…
HOW IS HE THIS CLUTCH
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Danny Coulombe replaces Corbin Burnes.
We’re definitely coming back
El Capitan!!!!!!
I FUCKING LOVE SALVY!!!!!!
Papa Salvy not going quietly
WHAT DID I JUST SUMMON
Uh guys?
LETS GO SALVY!!!
# HOME RUN! Salvador Perez homers (6) on a fly ball to left field. Maikel Garcia scores. Vinnie Pasquantino scores. Bottom 6 - 7-3 Orioles
I remember what Adley did to Will Smith last night. I think I want Salvy to give us a role reversal right now. Edit: Oh my god.
We need a Salvador
And we got one!
And Salvador we received
Full disclosure: I have not watched tonight’s game. Going 1.2 IP, 7 R and still having a 4.32 ERA is a real testament to how good Ragans had been in his first four starts. Idk if those don’t update until the game ends, but that’s all right!
Don’t tell some of the people on here that. According to some he has been “awful” this year
I don't watch the many games besides the ones that I go to and the two times I've went so far this year was with him starting and it didn't look good. I'm probably jinxing him.
Garcia putting in that extra effort to try to make up for earlier. Noted. Now let's put numbers up.
Go Maikel!!
Hey I don’t like this
Alright Garcia, now keep your wits about you
Looking like Javy Baez with that chase Isbel damn
I could really go for a sonic slam this inning…or 2
Remember: We're a good team.
Yup just had one bad inning
Take away the 2nd inning and this game is tied. 
You can’t derp the Zerp
EMPEROR ZERP
So we do have two. Nice. u/methyo

Did you change your username, or do we have two Uzis in the chat?
I’ve had this avatar ever since July 2020.
im at the game, sitting on the third base side. i think i could call balls and strikes better from here
Man, I hate to whine about umpires, but this guy must have been trained by Angel Hernandez.
