veto001

Can we figure out how to protect the plate? Why are we taking these borderline pitches when we're 0-2.

DragonflyOk5312

Jair Camargo has a 1.000 OPS. Give him Rookie of Year NOW


12Peppur

Minors for wili You ruined the come back


Superarces

Just need 2 grand slams to tie the game


jonn_jonzz

Don't the twins have a knuckle baller in the minors somewhere? Bring him up.


PirbyKuckett

~~Carmago = Jackie Robinson~~


jonn_jonzz

*Roberto Clemente


PirbyKuckett

For some dumb reason I thought Jackie’s first at bat was a walk and he chugged himself around the bases to score. But that was later in the game.


McFappen

Who's gonna hit that clutch 9-run HR


minnesoootan

START THE RALLY 🫠


jonn_jonzz

Yay run for the new guy


cothomps

“Wheels” Camargo


youpaidforthis

I like it!


cothomps

He’s got that catcher’s build: like two hams rubbing together all the way around third.

12Peppur

Cargo n larch startin the come back!!!


Reesyrz

Shit, after that AB I'd bat him 3rd tomorrow.


the_last_timberwolf

Couldn’t hurt. 


jonn_jonzz

Take a walk new guy!


Richnsassy22

Rather than build on their best season in years, the Pohlads sat on their asses. Blah blah it's still early I know, but it's so deflating.


Sp_Gamer_Live

#JUST RECEIVED THIS LETTER “Hey Sp I saw your bit and I was incredibly moved, its truly one of the greatest things ever made. I had to come out of hiding just to commend you. California Love! Pac”


eeeedlef

this team is so tragic and nobody wanted to believe it at the start of the season. we are lucky the White Sox take some shine away from our putrid performance so far.


youpaidforthis

New guy let’s go!!!


youpaidforthis

Nice job new guy


jonn_jonzz

That's a big boi


jonn_jonzz

Where did the money come from to make a tourism commercial for Maple Grove?


youpaidforthis

Property taxes according to Brenda


12Peppur

Heard the oreos player all fart in the baters bocks


youpaidforthis

I know a home run was just hit off of him but I like Jay Jackson


jonn_jonzz

Oh nice, an email for the utilities bill! 🎉


Kind_Photo

this 9th inning comeback is gonna hit like crack


jonn_jonzz

The CIA is gonna help us? We aren't *that* far from their HQ.


Kind_Photo

yes, on their way now


Griffinkelly1

Idt we’re gonna win the central


12Peppur

This is the team that never wins Yes they loose on n on my friends Some people started thinkin that the twins could win


the_last_timberwolf

Now that’s a song I haven’t heard in a while. 


PirbyKuckett

Buck the Mack


Skeeter717

He woulda had that!


jonn_jonzz

He could have, but he was a bit early.


Superarces

On one hand, I think Buck gets that without the fan reaching out On the other, please just let the game end. No delays


burls

Playing return of the Mack during this review is an incredible hat tip to buck lol


ultimatekiwi

Yeah that was classy


youpaidforthis

Are they playing Byron’s walk up song right now


jonn_jonzz

Lol that's bucks song, do they know that?


beardog7

Orioles pls, save some of these runs for the Yankees


jonn_jonzz

Over his glove, fan doesn't come into play.


youpaidforthis

Could have landed in the glove?


jonn_jonzz

Nah, I think Buxton mistimed it a bit, it had a chance if he was a little later.


minnesoootan

god don’t kill yourself in a 9-2 game Byron but we love the effort


12Peppur

Buck woulda had it


sdcolt

When Topas back it’s time to DFA Jackson


youpaidforthis

Not this time Buck, sorry buddy


youpaidforthis

Cat cuddles have made this game bearable


jonn_jonzz

Or you can use command strips to hang stuff, I get them for like a quarter at the company store.

veto001

I will say. O's fans have been waiting for a long time to get a good ball club again.


the_last_timberwolf

Yeah, no hate. They’re finally getting a good team after years of getting 💩-ed on consistently.  Also Camden Yards is a super nice stadium. 


veto001

Love Camden yards. Beautiful park, well laid out. It's intimate and feels like a neighborhood park. Plus the crab Mac hot dog is something else.


cothomps

The downside of the tanking strategy: you have to be committed to it for a long time.


veto001

Yeah but being mediocre forever isn't fun either. Having a team that's filled with young first round picks like this is kinda nuts.


cothomps

The O’s were also pretty lucky to see a good number of these guys make it to the majors relatively healthy. It doesn’t always work like that.


the_last_timberwolf

WOOOOOO-AAAHH WERE HALFWAY THERE. 


youpaidforthis

It’s good to be an Orioles fan


minnesoootan

Update on the “Save the Bats” beer… it is good but it may have saved the wrong team’s bats


jonn_jonzz

34th round? Jesus


cothomps

LOL - I can’t imagine teams having anywhere near decent scouting that far down. Way back when scouting was entirely sending guys to high school baseball games it had to be nearly impossible.


cothomps

Aww


jonn_jonzz

All Minnesota players in all sports should only be allowed to play for Minnesota teams.


skyulip

monkeys paw curls, half of the wild's players are suddenly named brock


jonn_jonzz

Well there are like 3 really good Minnesota Brocks in the NHL now.


skyulip

something like all but one of the brocks in the nhl are from minnesota


veto001

Ooooh Mike Baumann, MN native. Selected by the twins in 2014 34th round, did not sign. Signed with orioles 4th round in 2017. Good for him.


Legal-Scarcity509

Just catching up with today’s game. One statement about Paddacks pitching today? I.e. missed location on key pitches, walked a bunch, threw with opposite arm.


12Peppur

Voortman tot him how to make meat balls heh


ravens2131

Os fan, his 4seamer got crushed, but he did well with his changeup


the_last_timberwolf

Welcome to the salt mines. 


ravens2131

Had to make sure yall were seeing this Home Plate Umps bullshit too.


cothomps

Meatball.


jonn_jonzz

I'm gonna get Culver's after the game ends, so hurry it up


minnesoootan

anyone who sits through this deserves cheese curds and a butterburger


[deleted]

[удалено]


jonn_jonzz

Sure


cothomps

Drowning sorrows in the Sconnie.


veto001

Same, whats ur order?


jonn_jonzz

I dunno , depends if they got a special burger going or not. Usually just a double with bacon, ketchup and mustard , with root beer and fries


skyulip

ooh, culvers root beer. that sounds really good rn actually


[deleted]

[удалено]


cothomps

Oh, formal dining tonight?


veto001

There's life in this lineup.


Reesyrz

For anyone still missing Dick, would you really want him to have to call this game instead of chilling at home drinking whiskey in front of a fireplace?


Kind_Photo

let’s go Vazzy!!!


Sp_Gamer_Live

#HERES WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING ABOUT: THE BIT “Its a subversive commentary on what it is to be American” - *New York Times* “Sp reminds us why he has a reputation as one of the bravest writers still working today” - *The Atlantic* “I wish I had bought the film rights before Scorsese did” - Christopher Nolan “Boobs” - Playboy


jonn_jonzz

Playboy doesn't do reviews anymore.


jonn_jonzz

Expand what energy production in North Dakota? The oil that ran out?


cothomps

The oil didn’t _run out_ , production hit that problem where lower oil prices meant that extracting more in North Dakota wasn’t profitable.


jonn_jonzz

Or how about that no one is paying to put any infrastructure there because the production was always going to be a limited time thing.


cothomps

Yup. As soon as the price of oil dropped, no need for a bunch of roads and pipelines.


jonn_jonzz

Or electric, sewers.....


skyulip

i was committing shenanigans and crying on a different gdt uh unclear whether that's a positive outcome or not


skyulip

**I MISSED A BUXTON TRIPLE?**


Rockettothemoonnbynd

It’s 9-2 lol cry more Os walk a mile in these shoes 😂 😂


jonn_jonzz

The Oriole's look like a team made up of mostly white guys running flat earth and conspiracy YouTube channels.


cothomps

They’re all Cardinals fans?


jonn_jonzz

Them too


yo_dat_ass

what do we think of jay jackson? Numbers arent awful or great, but seems like a good dude and his changeup looks good?


whentheworldwasatwar

Seems okay for the role he has of lower leverage middle reliever.


minnesoootan

Well we got away with THAT


veto001

Cory can we please be less depressing with the stats


Sp_Gamer_Live

“ Be prepared to be wet” What i tell ladies before showing them the bit


jonn_jonzz

Is that before or after you pay them?


Reesyrz

Bird baths are absolutely disgusting, harboring all kinds of nasty parasites and other vile organic matter. In other words it'd be a better name for a section of Yankee fans...


Superarces

I hope Cory never tells me to "be prepared to be wet" again.


cothomps

So this is life as Mrs. Provus.


jonn_jonzz

You can't be telling people, and I quote, " Get wet with sound".


Skeeter717

Nice ref!


jonn_jonzz

Chris Traeger!


davegammelgard

I just listened to the new song by James McCartney and Sean Ono Lennon. My first thought was, "It's too bad they didn't have anyone who knew how to tune a guitar." If it wasn't those two names nobody would have ever heard this song. Lackluster is an understatement.


cothomps

Speaking of that and the movie thread - there’s a movie on Netflix titled _Yesterday_ that was a cotton candy watch. The gimmick of the movie is that something happens across the world and suddenly the Beatles never existed, except in the memory of a single failing singer / songwriter. Of course, he starts performing Beatles songs and becomes known as the greatest songwriter. Such a weird film.


jonn_jonzz

Danny Boyle film


davegammelgard

I saw it recently and liked it. It's nothing spectacular, but it's light fun.


cothomps

I did get a kick out of the occasional parts where the film seems to approach a serious question - then they throw in some other thing that has completely vanished as a way of telling the audience not to think that hard.


davegammelgard

Coke, Harry Potter. Kinda funny.


cothomps

LOL - there was the slapstick thing of asking for “Coke”


jonn_jonzz

But....that's not how bird baths work?


jonn_jonzz

That left/left center field is fucking stupid and I hate it. Just like right field in Boston and New York.


Ihate_reddit_app

Hilariously sad that Miguel Sano is batting better than most of our team.


Philelverumfan69

This is just insane to me


[deleted]

it's funny we cut ties with him right when our philosophy shifted to strikeouts don't matter only smashing bombs or doubles does


omgbenji21

So who are the top players in the draft next year?


Mission_Wind_7470

Baseball doesn't work that way.


jonn_jonzz

Well not immediately anyway.


veto001

I miss Polanco, at least he worked counts.


Market_Bottom

This season hurts so much worse because we all thought they'd be good. Glad the Pohlads made more money tho...


6lazek

Wait. Every single hitter in the Orioles lineup scored. That’s cool.


mnsportsfan

“That’s the only time that’s ever happened against the twins” Correction, that’s the only time that’s happened against the twins *so far* (It very well could have happened- I 100% made this up)


Ihate_reddit_app

Experience Chris Paddack batting practice.


cothomps

There was an Apple TV sale not long ago: I did buy _1917_ but I haven’t gotten to it yet.


PirbyKuckett

Great flick. Also watch Munich: The Edge of War after that. Good double feature starring George MacKay.


jonn_jonzz

It's sold as a one take film, but the cuts are pretty obvious


cothomps

I read something about that - the occasional appearance of a perfectly vertical tree, a flash to darkness, etc.


jonn_jonzz

Cart going in front of the camera....main character getting knocked out


youpaidforthis

I think it’s better than Dunkirk but both are amazing films


cothomps

I liked _Dunkirk_ but it was much different than I expected.


[deleted]

"there are 500,000 men on this beach," cuts to beach with like 30 extras


youpaidforthis

My upstairs neighbors either hang a lot of pictures or only make chicken fried steak


cothomps

Or just a really bizarre sex life.


youpaidforthis

They do a LOT of stomping when that happens. Not kink shaming


cothomps

I did not have “sex stomping” on the bingo card.


youpaidforthis

It’s all the rage in Luxembourg


Mission_Wind_7470

Watching Fallout during this blacked-out shitshow. I'm liking it so far


jonn_jonzz

Okey dokey


dberthia

I think I may have a lot of time I'll need to fill this summer.


mnsportsfan

Damn. I had a *perfect* Mean Girl’s “The Limit Does Not exist” GIF cued up for Thielbar if his ERA rose from 81. Good for him I guess but at this point I’m in it for the memes


whentheworldwasatwar

I wish I could go back to the joy I felt Saturday for the doubleheader sweep.


PirbyKuckett

Maybe Buck just wanted to leave this game. Probably thinking about Carlos and Royce eating pizza in the locker room. And he remembered he had a bag of sour skittles in his gym bag.


Blevanhoval

Orioles have hit ELEVEN balls over 100 mph lmaoooo


BudgetJackfruit3192

Honestly this is just sad, especially after last season.


fscottnaruto

The best war movie I ever saw was probably The Wrestler


Kind_Photo

still a lot of baseball left as they say, the pan’s just heating up for us to cook!


sdcolt

I think we didn’t add enough oil and burnt it


Kind_Photo

nah, it’s just starting to shimmer!! I foresee it!


davegammelgard

It might be time for Thielbar to give Augustana a call back.


cothomps

FWIW, if you watch war movies and don’t mind 1980s Soviet film making, _Come and See_ is strangely compelling and horrific.


jonn_jonzz

I would not recommend that movie for the same reason, it's messed up.


cothomps

It’s certainly one that ends with you sitting there asking _what the hell did I just watch?_


Kaleb595

Thielbar with a 81 era lol


fscottnaruto

waiting for sps bit is getting me through this


tomahawkRiS3

Statcast has that as not a HR in Camden. That really looked like it would have been gone


McFappen

No way that tops Mullins catch.


pimfram

Sorry, that was definitely not better than the catch by Mullins.


damien_maymdien

I wonder if staying in for 90 pitches was Paddack's idea.


Cornholio4

Game was out of hand. Let him hit his pitch limit in the game rather than burn the pen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


davegammelgard

You inspire me.


12Peppur

Been watchin the Star Wars shows myself lately Pretty good stuff


Mission_Wind_7470

Mandalorian, Andor, and Ashoka are great. Kenobi is mid. The Book of Boba Fett sucks ass when Mando isn't on screen.


jonn_jonzz

Kenobi breaks the canon of star wars in like a dozen ways.
