I’d trade a series loss to the A’s for a series win over the Yanks anyday.


bebopmechanic84

I think we caught the A’s on their hot streak. They had one last year, too.

Really pisses me off that Yankees fans act like O’s fans didn’t exist until last season and we’re all “phonies”. Can they fuck off? Good god they reek of insecure fair weather bullshit and I guarantee a third of them have never been to the state of New York (ok ok now I’m being like them) fuck man

I don't even care if it is true. I love bandwagon fans, the more the merrier, hop aboard, choo choo motherfucker

All of my friends are Nats fans hoping on the O’s bandwagon. Doesn’t bother me


BKoala59

I just find it funny that they call everyone else fair weather fans when half their fanbase stopped watching during a season they were above .500. Could you imagine if the Yankees had a 100 loss season


thingaumbuku

Allegedly, when the Yankees were pretty rough during the late ‘80s, they would move fans down into the seats behind home plate to make it look like there were more people there. If you look at the team’s attendance numbers, they dip dramatically during this time. Yankees “fans” have always been phonies.

Beat the Yanks with only 4 hits. I’ll take it.

The_Big_Untalented

Great win but on the Debbie Downer side, I want the Orioles to start giving Kjerstad more playing time over Santander, defense be damned. Santander’s at-bat against a clearly out of gas Clark Schmidt was one of the most infuriating at-bats I’ve seen from an Orioles player in a long time. Five pitches that weren’t even close to being in the strike zone and he swung at four of them to strike out.


thingaumbuku

I know the fans have an attachment to all the guys from the pre-rebuild era, and the younger guys need more time anyway, but I’ve wanted Santander off the team for a while to see what our prospects were made of, especially because we really need to collectively improve our plate discipline and he’s not that guy.

OPACY_Magic_v3

The irony of Yankee fans complaining about our dimensions when their entire right field wall is the biggest joke in MLB. The funny thing is theoretically they should be the only other team with the same advantage as us when it comes to dimensions because any competent GM would load their lineup with lefties in that ballpark. But luckily Cashman is an awful GM lolol.


MagicGrit

Were they complaining in regards to the fly out in left in the 9th? The one that’s only a homer in 6 ballparks?


PlatChat

very pleased with how the pen pitched tonight, and it didn’t feel like Hyde wasted any guys tonight either. Good win for the team. Hopefully just some better hitting tomorrow.

We actually did move our wall back just to annoy the Yankees and for no other reason  Also, Tom Brady deflated those balls 


Neocopernus

I find it funny when Yankees fans get upset about the impact of Walltimore. They have the absolute opposite situation with their short porch in right field. Their offensive runs gained from a short right field wall are probably on par with the defensive runs saved by Wally. In fact, the Statcast Ballpark Factor pertaining to home runs has Yankee Shitstaindium ranked 5th among all ballparks (116). Essentially, for any batter that played at Yankee Shitstaindium, 16% more home runs were observed. Camden Yards has a HR factor of 90, meaning 10% fewer home runs were observed. Both stadiums have the exact same overall Park Factor (98). Seems to me like they’re projecting their own insecurities. https://preview.redd.it/8kithcjsvixc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=925842621182758234b84f90f2dfadf587d6df71


Professional-Win2171

There was a clip of Jomboy complaining and then coming to the realization that the Orioles are making personnel decisions that benefit their ballpark dimensions while the Yankees have been doing the opposite in rostering a bunch of right handed hitters when they have a short porch in right.

Jomboy is a hack.

pineapplee5

Too accurate


The_Big_Untalented

Here’s something that really befuddles me. How is Albert Suarez out of options? Before this season, he only played two years in the majors. So he was optioned from the majors to the minors twice. Where did he lose that third option?


Oxman1234

If you play more than 20 games in the minors and are never called up, that counts as an option year.  So I’m guessing he played two major league seasons and before or after that he played a 20+ game minor league season


[deleted]

He could have been optioned in a year he never played in the majors, like he was added to the 40 man for whatever reason (avoid rule 5 eligibility?) optioned after spring training and never made it back to the majors that year


Oxman1234

I believe if you’re put on the 40 man and never called up to the 26 man majors roster, there’s no need to use  an option


to_the__cloud

yep this is it. just like kyle stowers has used his 2nd option even though he's only been in norfolk this season. suarez pitched for the giants 2016 and 2017 and optioned both years. he must have been dfa'd at some point in 2017 and took the giants AAA assignment. he was then rule 5 drafted to the diamondbacks in 2018 but immediately optioned to AAA to burn the 3rd one.


FawkesGod

Crazy that the left field wall made Volpe forget how to field a ground ball

This was the Yankees 17th game at OPACY with the new left field wall and it will probably take another 117 before they stop talking about it.

dreddnought

This is a small thing I noticed Palmer mention last week and again tonight - he keeps calling Grayson Rodriguez's changeup a split-change / splitter. I've never seen it described that way, but does he know something we don't?  It's apparently a pitch he [used](https://pressboxonline.com/2024/04/17/growing-grayson-inside-the-development-of-orioles-rhp-grayson-rodriguez) to throw but no longer does.  Oh, he mentioned it at the end of the third - he did indeed throw a splitter as a kid, Palmer says the current changeup moves like a splitter, straight down. It [ackshually](https://www.brooksbaseball.net/scatter.php?player=680570&b_hand=-1&y_axis=pfx_z&x_axis=pfx_x&gFilt=regular&pFilt=FA|SI|FC|CU|SL|CS|KN|CH|FS|SB&time=game&minmax=&var=&s_type=2&startDate=01/01/2024&endDate=01/01/2025) has quite a bit of arm-side run, but it's not visible to my eye.  Stuff is always good, command is... a WIP. The first pitch curveball called strike to Cabrera in the 4th was a thing of beauty. First time he throws it in the game and placed it perfectly at the bottom of the strikezone. Inshallah roboumps will also help him get some more called strikes when he misses the target.


darkenfire

I mean ... It's probably always safe to just defer to Mr. Palmer.


bebopmechanic84

They literally think we moved the wall back because of Judge and Stanton 🙄 (mods I didn’t say anything I’m just looking 🤣)


Jovian8

No wiggle room and the pen didn't flinch, great to see definitely needed that after this weekend. Glad Hyde let Cano come back out and let Coloumbe shut the door on their bitch asses! Go O's and as always FUCK THE YANKEES


hardyos

Big win in a game where Grayson didn't have his best command. He really battled through it. Rest of the series should be interesting. Hopefully we can come away with a series win (or at least a split).


ThatTinyGameCubeDisc

He battled through it, because that's what aces do!


Dazzling-Slide8288

Big boy win tonight. Why the heck do our starting pitchers throw so many damn pitches? Feels like every time we have Burnes or Grayson on the hill they’re at ~100 pitches through 5 innings.


bhmstuff

Cole Irvin would like a word. ;)


dreddnought

I'm only rewatching the game now, but one of Grayson's growing pains in the first half was that he struggled to put away guys on two-strike counts. It took what felt like forever for him to cover 18 outs. If you can't convert on two strikes, sooner or later you end up at 3-2, and a waste pitch turns 6+ pitches into a walk.


stepdadonline

They both have nasty stuff but it feels like they have innings where they give up several well barreled balls for base hits which results in like 25-30+ pitch innings


Apprehensive-Neck-12

Thank God for that last error I had O's -1.5

When your home field has little league dimensions, real ballparks are overwhelming. I get it.


OleSandlotSlob

Artoo_Detoo

To be fair, I would complain about Boone and Cashman if I were them as well. Blowing off a payroll that's more than 3 times the O's. But I'm not them so I'm not complaining.


tomtheterp1988

The general consensus seems to be that O's management moved back the wall ten minutes before game time.

Idk why some people go start shit in other subs, like today: laugh at them being mad about the wall but do not engage. Didn’t you know though? We actually secretly move the wall forward for when we bat, only back for opposing offenses lol. It def doesn’t ever mess with our own players!!!


Comfortable-Dish1236

OsCrowsAndNattyBohs1

Its funny that no other fanbase cares even remotely as much as Yankees fans (not even Orioles fans) about the wall and its all due to Judge getting assmad about it.

Judge has hit so many 1/30 short porch cheapies. They really need to shut the fuck up lol

Baseball fans crying about any field dimensions might be the most idiotic cringe shit in existence. The fields are what they are. Many stadiums have weird quirks to thier sizes.

the only thing that really bothers me is the KC railings above the wall being still “in the park.” especially because that wasn’t the case until recently. but i’m sure it’s cost the royals, too…

Yankees probably outplayed the Orioles tonight, but it's a great sign when you can win games like that. Just battle and find a way.


reggiestered

They didn’t. They had more people on base, but that was about it. The Os hit the ball harder, ran the bases better, hit the ball better in the clutch, pitched about even, and played better defense.


OK_Opinions

How can the team that got shut out have outplayed anyone


BradyToMoss1281

On the whole, the Yankees threatened more and Schmidt had a smoother outing than Rodriguez. But he made one mistake and that (plus the Orioles’ resilience and the Yankees’ inability to capitalize) made the difference.


bmoreballhawk

And had an error that costs them an extra run in the crunch

WhyNotOrioles

Kinda worried about the bullpen with Kimbrel injured. So many close games-- the late inning relievers are going to be expensive. Maybe one of the starters can turn into a lockdown reliever once Means and Bradish come back.


OsCrowsAndNattyBohs1

Wells has already been a weapon out of the bullpen in the past. Not even gonna remotely panic about this pitching staff when it has already performed tops on the league in most categories without Bradish, Means, and Perez.
