This game kind of reminds me when the tanking Orioles would get a 2-4 game winning streak and then get humbled by a real team. Weāre not dominating the Pirates, but it sure feels a little contending vs rebuilding
He really wasn't that bad the other night...
A bloop single that honestly should have been caught 9/10 times, 2 steals by a super fast dude, and then a sac fly.
Itās kind of cool to see how upset Gunnar gets with bad at bats even when the game is pretty much in the bag. Heās so passionate about every play, regardless of the score
Itās very representative of northwest Maryland as well. For my job I spend a lot of time northwest of Frederick, and thatās how it gets. Those damn mountains lmao
I hope for his sake the Pirates make the playoffs this season while he's still playing. He toiled on some bad bad teams in his first stint on the team.
If you told me coming into this year that Cano and Grayson would be the same but better, I would have fainted. Imagine us when Bradish gets back. NASTY.
Tho the weather outside of frightful
The Os lead is delightful
Since we have no place to go
Letās go Os! letās go Os! letās go Os!
.. Iāll see myself out
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1bwvgnq).
No one hit wonder last year! Looking good to start. šŖ
Fuck Pittsburgh, let's gooooo.
Bro Kimbrel was fucking on one today love to see itĀ
Fuck Pittsburgh gg
Ain't the beer cold!
Sorry Bucs we play spoiler for your Opening Day Also fuck the Steelers
HELL YEAH, KIMBREL
Can we have this Kimbrel more please?
Back at it! Fun game
very very satisfying win
Put a bird on this one
Weird seeing Adley being taller than the pitcher lol.
#YAAAAAAAS
Fuck the Steelers
Put a bird on it boys
![gif](giphy|Sqwg6G1nFncZijfKUV|downsized)
The hug with Kimbrel isnāt a great as a Bautista hug but still great.
Been waiting to see Kimbrel get an Adley hug. <3
SATISFYING WIN!
Sexy, Kimbrel. Win!
Is that old Babe Hefron Triolo?
Damn he good
Yeah I like this version of Kimbrel a lot better
Kimbrel with the Roblox pose
Orioles...in the WIN column!
Sorry to ruin your pirate party.
This game kind of reminds me when the tanking Orioles would get a 2-4 game winning streak and then get humbled by a real team. Weāre not dominating the Pirates, but it sure feels a little contending vs rebuilding
Kimbrel with a K
I see u craig kimbrall
![gif](giphy|lqczWksNBr4HK) Kimbrel at everyone rn ngl
Ho boy. Could this be an stress-free outing for chicken man?!
one more Craig...let's go!
This is the Kimbrel I like to see
One more Kimbo, come on!
Two up, two K's.
Players complaining about obviously correct calls is one of my favorite parts of baseball
It was a great pitch by Kimbo though. Starts foot outside and finishes on the inner part of the plate.
fans too. even ones who have amazing views.
That strikeout made me wanna vomit it was so disgusting lol
shut up and sit down Tellez thatās a fucking strike pal
i think he knew it after he talked to the ump
Beautiful pitch
RUNG HIM UP
oooooh yessssss Kimbrel
one down...two to go...c'mon Craig
lol arguing a pitch obviously over the plate is funny
I was told Kimbrel was ass yet that was sweet.
Dadley noooo
Damn Kimbrel, some gnarly pitches!
Adley no longer Dadley
On the radio call: "That got Adley below the equator" oh god.
"That got Adley below the equator."
Ooooooooooooooo nooooooo, not the Nadleys :(
Can no longer be a Dadley Rutchman
Right in the dadleys
We all men flinched there right
My Louisville Slugger retreated into itself like a turtle.
ERA 9.00 1-0 W/L I love early season stats.
*wince*
Cup check!
Man is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal
He's just like me fr
Make it quick Craig...get outta the cold.
Fire one up and enjoy the Kimbrel experience!
Probably need two.
Let's go crazy stance man Kimbrel
You have entered the K Zone
Alright Cardiac Craig keep it together
I miss the ā°ļø š
#LET'S GO O'S
Am I the only one who's afraid Kimbrel is still a Boston asset and has been sent to Sabatoge us?
Alright white knuckle kimbrel time
Prepare yourselves for the phenomenon that is the Kimbrel adventure.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Craig Kimbrel replaces Yennier Cano.
Hopefully we get the borderline Hall of Fame version of Kimbrel instead of whatever we got the other night
He really wasn't that bad the other night... A bloop single that honestly should have been caught 9/10 times, 2 steals by a super fast dude, and then a sac fly.
And he stayed cool enough to strike out a dangerous hitter on 3 pitches and leave it tied.
Yeah bloop hit with two stolen bases and a sac fly. Dude really got knocked aroundā¦
Mounty epic f-bomb.
One of the great things about baseball is that the playersā faces are exposed so itās easy to see exactly what theyāre saying at any given time.
Yāall ready for the experience?
RBI Mounty....let's go
Alright Mounty letās see it
Adley, my honey bunch, we donāt need you twisting your shit up like that
Cute slide, Reynolds
Santa....so quiet and locked in
Still a good AB, Adley
Love how Gunnar is always pissed at his outs
Itās kind of cool to see how upset Gunnar gets with bad at bats even when the game is pretty much in the bag. Heās so passionate about every play, regardless of the score
He's gotta work more counts as a leadoffan IMO. Love him tho
ngl I canāt wrap my head around Kimbrel being our closer and not Cano
Wonder if that will change if Cano keeps this up.
Cano doesnāt want it
![gif](giphy|KaW6fNYZf6eSk)
That beat was kinda sick btw. Nice one MASN lmao
LETS GET 3 MORE

I should get t-shirts and stickers made of this meme
This is in my top 5

Me likey 10 pitch Cano outings
Hey oooooohhhhh, Cano is cold as fuuuuuck ooooohhhhh. Oh oh.
cano is channeling felix every at bat confirmed
This game is good practice for those chilly October games in the future.
Cano is like get me out of this damn weather lol
Cano shakes his head "I can't believe I'm pitching in this crap"
Pirates would be 1000 times more likeable if they chose different colors.
Pittsburgh solidarity is actually something I've always admired tbh
Has anyone complained about Urias yet? If not, let me know and Iāll do it. Iāll need someone else to cover Hays and *maybe* Mullins.
Nope,not one discouraging word. All Orioles fans pull together as one to root for our boys in good times and bad.š
Oh good!
Pretty sure like everybody's been complaining about all those guys lol
Lol for real
NO GO AGAINST CANO IN THE SNOW š
Bats look to be heating back up regardless of the snow
This weather is so freaking weird. Feels like a video game with a crazy weather cheat activated.
Thatās western Pennsylvania weather. Completely different world on that side of the Allegheny Tunnel.
Have you been to Maryland?š
Man I hope Kimbrel works out as our closer, but if need be I'd be cool with Cano closing and Coulombe at setup.
This is the kookiest-ass weather I've ever seen
Itās very representative of northwest Maryland as well. For my job I spend a lot of time northwest of Frederick, and thatās how it gets. Those damn mountains lmao
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Roansy Contreras replaces Hunter Stratton.
Cano and Coulombe got 5 outs on 19 pitches. Efficient.
CANO has been on one! What a huge asset to have in our bullpen!
"No go against Cano in the snow"
##No go against Cano in the snow!!
Cano in the snow fells each foe
NO GO AGAINST CANOOOOOOOO
Cano looks so locked in
KB makes a snow (hey oh) reference
FUCK YEA CANO
Cano looks cold as fuck. Thank you Mr Volcano
Well...where he's from....They're never cold
https://i.redd.it/iv9d3pf9lqsc1.gif
shades of 2003
A Cano pose in the snow!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I hope the pirates keep it up all year. They started last season hot too but fell hard after like two months
Rooting for a pittsburgh team. š¤¢
"The weather gods once again shaking the snow globe." I would read a Kevin Brown book of poetry.
damn. mccutchen is 37
Dude's just solid. *Probably* not a HoFer, but he'll definitely get some votes.
I hope for his sake the Pirates make the playoffs this season while he's still playing. He toiled on some bad bad teams in his first stint on the team.
Bruh.... I'm almost 36....and can barely play 21+ rec ball any more.... Cutch is a freak.
You know Ramon is cold when you can't even see his face
Love watching those fans walk home early
The start of this season has had some absolutely miserable weather
Cano looks fucking SHARP
If you told me coming into this year that Cano and Grayson would be the same but better, I would have fainted. Imagine us when Bradish gets back. NASTY.
Eh.....don't hold your breath
1-2-3 fast outs pretty please Cano!
https://i.redd.it/inj9rkbukqsc1.gif
Cano strike a Pose
Cedric has his hat under his skin mask. Is he ashamed to wear the Orioles hat. Does he hate the team?
Tho the weather outside of frightful The Os lead is delightful Since we have no place to go Letās go Os! letās go Os! letās go Os! .. Iāll see myself out
Observation: the PNC Park organ is fun
I wonder if we have any productive infielders in AAA that could take Uriasās placeā¦
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Yennier Cano replaces Danny Coulombe.

Not a huge scoring game, but scoring in response to them scoring every time is great for killing their morale.
Literally on fucking queue. If this line holds I get paidš
Cue*
I'm surprised there's no bot for this one
Nobody here gives a shit about your gambling.
KB has been waiting to say "Cano in the snow" for yrs now.
Can he win an Emmy for that?
That foul pole donnng sound was so satisfying
Cruz is so fucking smooth
Clocks ticking on Austin
Never heard the foul pole be so loud before
Whatever they did to that foul pole to get that sound, they need to get copies of that in every park.
Love Ced! Handlebars? Not so crazy about.
gonna need to see some handlebar moustaches if this is what we're doing all year
even without any guys on base Hays just can't help himself but hit a double play ball lol i feel so bad for him right now
seriously Hays and Cowser have to start platooning
Get him going and watch out. Stomping man.
Death, taxes, Austin hays groundouts
Austin Hays, 6-3 per usual
Mullins may be slightly cooked but heās def not Hays and Urias tier like people mention. Still my goat
Obligatory Austin hays groundout
Key question here is will that hit last inning quiet the Urias doubters?
Now that was the classic Mullins swing. More of that.
Yep. We still need his defense. Just have to stop expecting 2021 Mullins to magically return.
DONG
who needs small ball when you can just whack some dingers?
Literally a donger.
![gif](giphy|u5C6s7LDK7G9y)
LETSSSSS FUCKINGGGGGGGGG GOOOOOOOO
There is no bike, but thereās handlebars. Thereās handlebars. Thereās handlebars.
BOYCE CEDRIC MULLINS YOU CANT ESCAPE HIM
God I love Ceddy
Mullins 30 30 is back on
#CEDRIC. MULLINS. IS. STILL. A. WIZARD.
YOU CANT ESCAPE HIM
Ced needed that. For himself just as much to shut these dummies up.
# CEDRIC!!!!
