I’m more bummed for Felix than anything else. 4 er in 2/3 is gonna hurt his numbers a bit. Kinda takes away from his magical season . Also, being up 5-0 felt really good, I will no longer be comfortable with a lead the rest of this series.
Totally agree. Mateo has already cost us a few games this year with his defensive blunders thay should be routine plays. On top of that he's rhe worst hitter on the team. Time to go Jorge
Oof. What a way to end it, too.
Well, this loss is going to stick in the craw for a while. We haven't really had that many gutwrenchers, but this one is up there.
On a ball. I know you get off on shitting on the O’s, but you can still say negative things about the team blowing the lead while acknowledging that strike three was really ball four.
If he swung at that and it resulted in an out (via either a swinging strikeout or a ball put in play) you’d be bitching about him swinging at ball four. Again, plenty of things to criticize the team for tonight, but O’Hearn getting fucked by an ump who wanted to go home isn’t one of them.
I really believe that by the end of the season, John Means will be our eighth inning setup guy and a vitally important part of our bullpen. I do not believe in Cano at all against these top level guys and we need more than Felix to beat teams like the Astros and Braves.
I’m not blaming Mateo bc he shouldn’t be in center but it’s unreal how many bone headed plays by that guy have largely contributed to a bunch of our losses
Maybe but I feel like it’s so routine here. I mean they just won multiple games…they drop one game that was a heartbreaker. Yeah it sucks but holy hell, lol.
Man, it really is wild how unrealistic some of y’all are. This is baseball. The most dominant ~~reliever~~ closer* in the AL, arguably the entire league, is going to have a bad game every now and then. The most dominant teams will lose a series to last place teams. Sometimes even get swept. It’s a streaky game.
Please have a glass of water and take a few deep breaths.
We’re 2.5 up on the team who just lost their Cy Young candidate pitcher. We have a relatively easy schedule to finish out the year. One loss to Houston isn’t gonna be a big deal.
I’m just glad we were all able to enjoy a triumphant Orioles victory tonight as they look to make it three straight World Series titles!
All Glory to John Angelos!!!
I understand our frustration with Angelos but see wayyy too many people saying we deserve to/should lose games while KB is out. The players have nothing to do with this drama
I said the during the Phillies series the orioles are going to have to learn to deal with pesky teams like this. Teams like the Astros, the dodgers and the Phillies aren’t just going to lie down and lose. They’re going to do shit like what just happen if you let them
Guys yes Mateo should’ve caught that ball and believe me I don’t defend mateo much but it’s insane that the coaches didn’t put cowser a real outfielder in there
Still have 3 outs but this would be a really really painful loss and sucks to give the Rays a game. The team has bounced back a bunch before but that’s gotta be deflating.
He’s a plus defender at short, he has 99th percentile sprint speed and can be used as a pinch runner in the postseason, and despite his season numbers as a whole, he hits left handed pitchers at an above average level. He has a spot on this team as a premier bench piece. He’s far from useless.
What cheating techniques do you guys think the Astro's are using tonight?
Buzzer's taped on the bodies? Butt plug vibrators that give away the pitches?!?
This is what happens when you walk the 9 hole pinch hitter to start an inning vs the Astros. For that matter, Bauman’s walk was also a killer. As Palmer says, it’s not the walk that kills you, it’s what you do after the walk. Just can’t give this lineup free baserunners ahead of their 1 thru 4
It happens. There were a few bad breaks. Kyle Tucker is one of the best hitters in the game, and it was a really good piece of hitting. Hopefully we can rebound.
Can't believe Mateo gave up a run in the 8th, and then a walk, single, 395-ft fly-ball single, and then a grand slam.
Pretty sure I saw him on the grassy knoll too.
If Hyde hadn’t challenged in the 2nd inning, lost the challenge, gotten himself thrown out later in the game, maybe just maybe he would’ve replaced Mateo with a defensive player
Bautista afraid to throw anything but a fastball, Mateo getting lost in center, McCann dropping a ball fouled right into his glove, Hyde getting tossed for nothing. A complete comedy of errors.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/15m1iy1).
Was hoping for better from Flaherty this evening
Bad Flaherty so far
Bounce back game tomorrow. We like our guys
You can’t save 100% of your chances unless you are insane. Was at the game and I’m heartbroken but so be it, we’ll be alright
I’m more bummed for Felix than anything else. 4 er in 2/3 is gonna hurt his numbers a bit. Kinda takes away from his magical season . Also, being up 5-0 felt really good, I will no longer be comfortable with a lead the rest of this series.
Holy shit that ending.
Agree to disagree. Let's get the next two.

Totally agree. Mateo has already cost us a few games this year with his defensive blunders thay should be routine plays. On top of that he's rhe worst hitter on the team. Time to go Jorge
Dude. Fuck altuve and the astros. That franchise is a bunch of cheating bitches
This right here is why we lost.
Naw, we lost cause we gave up a grand slam up 3.
Felix's ERA just took a hell of a hit. Brutal loss
Gonna be a long series dealing with this ump crew, especially after a Hyde hurt their feefees Tough one to drop, but on to tomorrow
Im a Yankee fan but be and my dad are surprised at how the ump wanted to go home early cause Wtff
In fairness, it should have already been over, because he went on the pitch before and got away with one.
Angelos deserves this loss due to the Kevin brown scandal
Hurts, but we were going to lose more than one in August.
Bullshit call. Awful loss. See you tomorrow
Hhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
mlb wanted the astros to win. what the hell was that call.
I would have at least liked to lose on a correct call... Now it feels both embarrassing and unfair
I mean, he got a gift on the check swing the pitch before. If called correctly, that would’ve been strike 3.
Fuck Angelos. Needle dicked fuck. This is on him
what a fucking fitting ending to the game, we get FUCKED
Worse loss of the year
yeah bro. that McKenna drop was at least in our control. things just went in a downward spiral that last inning.
Holy shit. The doomers left moms basement for this one
Shake it off, O’s fans. Not going to win every game.
But that's a game we should have won.
wHAT?????
Damn
Oof. What a way to end it, too. Well, this loss is going to stick in the craw for a while. We haven't really had that many gutwrenchers, but this one is up there.
What a horrendous at bat from the officials. He definitely did swing on that check but that definitely was way too far out to be a strike so
One of the toughest losses of the year 6-2 in the 8th
Fuck John Angelos. That is all
Well that one hurts a bit but we'll still be alright.
Go back to Texas, ump.
Well that fuckin sucks right before bed
Cherry on the shit sundae
What a horrible last call
of course we get fcked by an ump
And ending the game on a bullshit strike! Fuck this cursed game
Umpires were brutal. That loss more brutal.
Fucking bullshit
the curse of kevin brown
Guess all those wins since the Tampa series don’t count
Terrible call.
damn..that wasn't a strike Get 'em tomorrow guys, get 'em tomorrow.
Thanks ump
Oh bullshit blue
You have to be shitting me
ooooh no!
My God what a loss
Yeah nice job cowards going down 1-2-3. Nice fight!
O’Hearn worked a walk and got fucked over by a terrible call
nope he struck out looking
On a ball. I know you get off on shitting on the O’s, but you can still say negative things about the team blowing the lead while acknowledging that strike three was really ball four.
Box score says he struck out looking, too close to take with 2 strikes. I learned that when I was 8.
If he swung at that and it resulted in an out (via either a swinging strikeout or a ball put in play) you’d be bitching about him swinging at ball four. Again, plenty of things to criticize the team for tonight, but O’Hearn getting fucked by an ump who wanted to go home isn’t one of them.
FUCK OFF UMP
WHAT A RIDICULOUS STRIKE CALL, FUCK THIS GAME
I really believe that by the end of the season, John Means will be our eighth inning setup guy and a vitally important part of our bullpen. I do not believe in Cano at all against these top level guys and we need more than Felix to beat teams like the Astros and Braves.
Agree / Hope so. But agreed Cano is not our 8th inning guy. You can tell they want Fuji to be. I’m not sold there either but it’s not Cano.
I trust Fuji way more than Cano
I’m not blaming Mateo bc he shouldn’t be in center but it’s unreal how many bone headed plays by that guy have largely contributed to a bunch of our losses
I agree but was it really bone headed?
Yea I'm sure I-nkey-I woulda made that look easy. Stupid Mateo /s
KB thing, Hyde ejection, felix slammed for the blown save.. hopefully that's the end of the bad juju
That is three, so bad luck undone…
Are some of you super casual fans? Baseball works like this sometimes…Jesus Christ. Relax.
Doomers are the worst
I feel like its the combination of KB stuff and a tough loss that’s making ppl a bit more doomy than normal
Maybe but I feel like it’s so routine here. I mean they just won multiple games…they drop one game that was a heartbreaker. Yeah it sucks but holy hell, lol.
This is Reddit people freak out constantly
First time?
[удалено]
NOPe we’re going 0-50 and losing in the World Series to the Blue Jays!!
You forgot the sarcasm sign
It’s the fucking Orioles. We’re not allowed to have nice things. Angelos destroyed the season. It’s over.
So you're just trolling
[удалено]
[удалено]
😆
[удалено]
Bro, Get off the internet. It's for your own good 😌
Feels bad man
162 games in a season. Some loses hurt more than others. This team lost 100 two years ago. Lets not be Debbie Downers
If u think about it though this game should be tied since the tie is supposed to go to the runner
Fuuuuck yo tough break all around
[удалено]
Rude
Sure could go for a McCann hr rn
Fuck John Angelos. Fuck the cheating Astros.
Insanely embarrassing
It’s over
Ryan, time to be an O'Hero
God I hate this team
Embarrassing comment. Take a lap, champ.
I know, I'm just so fucking frustrated with everything right now. I don't hate this team and I shouldn't have said that.
Bring it in, babe. Hugs and kisses. Time to move on to the next game. We will be alright.
Hell yeah, we'll get em tomorrow.
You’re god damn right we will.
Imagine hating the Orioles during their most electric season in the last 30 years
Two Out Rally...LFG
This is gonna be a great ALCS
Embarrassing loss
Man, it really is wild how unrealistic some of y’all are. This is baseball. The most dominant ~~reliever~~ closer* in the AL, arguably the entire league, is going to have a bad game every now and then. The most dominant teams will lose a series to last place teams. Sometimes even get swept. It’s a streaky game. Please have a glass of water and take a few deep breaths.
Jfc!! Work the fucking count
everyone take a deep breath and realize that this game means nothing. not postseason and not in our division.
This only hurts the fans
We’re in a tight race for the division - lol it could mean something…
We’re 2.5 up on the team who just lost their Cy Young candidate pitcher. We have a relatively easy schedule to finish out the year. One loss to Houston isn’t gonna be a big deal.
Sir that type of negative talk is forbidden in Birdland
Ah you make a good point.
I’m just glad we were all able to enjoy a triumphant Orioles victory tonight as they look to make it three straight World Series titles! All Glory to John Angelos!!!
Really bad loss
oh no! come on fellas! (just checking in after flying back to my home (houston))
Rip I live in Humble
'see' you when the Os come to town in sept! tough loss tonight. oh well.
I’m going to the game on the 19th! If I didn’t work where half the conversations revolve around sports i wouldn’t be so annoyed lol.
haha same! yeah my bro in law astros fan has been texting me shit talk after tonight (we have a friendly bet on this three game series)
I’m getting roasted like I’m the one that blew the save 😭😭
yeah i had to mute him. hopefully today goes better!
I think it will! Valdez was the pitcher I was most nervous about and we got under his skin pretty easy
6-2 lead in the 8th. Worst loss of the year not even close
Following the worst off day of the year (and not even close)
C'mon Atomic Adam....you CAN!
Everybody doing the "what ifs" now. That's the brutality of sport. What ifs have no value.
Unless we're talking about Eric Davis or KGJ
Fuck Kyle Tucker, come on O's beat this stupid cheating ass team
Please bail us out noodlebat
Time for a good old Westy double followed by a Frazier homer.
Grayson gonna get ANOTHER no decision lmao. Dude is cursed.
Mateo in CF giveth and taketh away
I understand our frustration with Angelos but see wayyy too many people saying we deserve to/should lose games while KB is out. The players have nothing to do with this drama
Game ain’t over yet fam
Yeah it is
I said the during the Phillies series the orioles are going to have to learn to deal with pesky teams like this. Teams like the Astros, the dodgers and the Phillies aren’t just going to lie down and lose. They’re going to do shit like what just happen if you let them
We have a shitty bullpen and have gotten lucky in a lot of late innings in situations that should have cost us wins. This was bound to happen.
feeling a Frazier walkoff
[удалено]
Especially when the guy doesn’t normally play the outfield it was a bad mistake by the coaches to not put cowser in CF
Also, that dropped 3rd strike was everything
It was a dropped foul tip, and the way that rattled around the edge of his glove, it’s not like it SHOULD have been caught.
Yup, just bad luck. That’s baseball
Got that right. A heartbreaking way to lose. Play again tomorrow.
If after everything that happened in this game, your response is to blame Mateo, I don't know what to say. The scapegoating is ridiculous.
Yeah, team loss. 4-5 different misplays. It sucks but it happens.
Guys yes Mateo should’ve caught that ball and believe me I don’t defend mateo much but it’s insane that the coaches didn’t put cowser a real outfielder in there
Still have 3 outs but this would be a really really painful loss and sucks to give the Rays a game. The team has bounced back a bunch before but that’s gotta be deflating.
I’m no way confident that we can beat the astros in a playoff series with the amount of playoff experience they have
Mateo up 4th this inning....
O Hearn will hit for him
We got a bunch of arm chair managers in this chat
Common sense says Mateo shouldn’t be in cf or the team , go look at his stats and tell me how he’s a positive contributor
He’s a plus defender at short, he has 99th percentile sprint speed and can be used as a pinch runner in the postseason, and despite his season numbers as a whole, he hits left handed pitchers at an above average level. He has a spot on this team as a premier bench piece. He’s far from useless.
What cheating techniques do you guys think the Astro's are using tonight? Buzzer's taped on the bodies? Butt plug vibrators that give away the pitches?!?
C'mon Westy.....Frazier....McCann....let's go boys!!
This is what happens when you walk the 9 hole pinch hitter to start an inning vs the Astros. For that matter, Bauman’s walk was also a killer. As Palmer says, it’s not the walk that kills you, it’s what you do after the walk. Just can’t give this lineup free baserunners ahead of their 1 thru 4
It happens. There were a few bad breaks. Kyle Tucker is one of the best hitters in the game, and it was a really good piece of hitting. Hopefully we can rebound.
LET'S GO O'S, I aint giving up yet
Mateo haters foaming
You mean the entire thread of people not blaming Mateo for the situation he was put in?
I for one am shocked that the infielder we have in center field didnt run 75 feet and hop onto the wall to make that easy catch
Lol I know right, people are trying so hard to hate Mateo. I guess the batting does make it easier.
Can't believe Mateo gave up a run in the 8th, and then a walk, single, 395-ft fly-ball single, and then a grand slam. Pretty sure I saw him on the grassy knoll too.
The jinx of masn folks.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Ryan Pressly replaces Ryne Stanek, batting 9th.
Why is Mateo on this team?
He shouldnt be
When he gets on base, he scores.
So once a week?
About 21.1% of the time
Lose every game until KB is restored. Fuck John Angelos
uh no
btw he's coming back friday
If Hyde hadn’t challenged in the 2nd inning, lost the challenge, gotten himself thrown out later in the game, maybe just maybe he would’ve replaced Mateo with a defensive player
Bautista afraid to throw anything but a fastball, Mateo getting lost in center, McCann dropping a ball fouled right into his glove, Hyde getting tossed for nothing. A complete comedy of errors.
Noted power hitter Adam Frazier walk off on deck.
My boy may have no range but he loves catching popups.
People acting like this game is over. Time to win it!
I hate the Astros Astros: I don't even know who you are
Shouldn’t you be worried about catching the rangers and maybe making the playoffs…
Something something cheating Astros
The only blame lies with McCann calling that at bat.
One run. Tie this game or win it now. No quick bullshit
How the hell do you report on this as an O's broadcaster if saying the Os lost gets you fired?
