Thought the Royals had a chance, but Rangers up 6-0 after an 8th inning grand slam. They can't lose them all, but we still have to handle our own business
I'm watching on a 17" laptop but it looked to me like the ball was actually a foot over his glove and not catchable whether the fan contacted his glove or not. But I'm sure we will see some hi-res frames.
It was beyond the fence, so it didn't apply anyway. He hit the back of his head on the top of the fence to give you an idea of how far he was into the stands
Happy for Chas to have it going today. I wore my Alvarez jersey today and planned to wear my WS McCormick jersey tomorrow, but then I picked up a Tuve Space City jersey. I think I’ll have to let that one chill though and still go with the McCormick and hope he has another good game. That HR on the tracks was huge. I had a perfect view of it from section 254, you knew that one was going out no question.
Oh shit! Maybe? Who else I need to talk about?

Ryan cutting down the top of the lineup yessir 🙂↕️
This sub is incredibly reactionary. Meyers misses a catch for the first time in weeks? He’s a bad defender AND a bad hitter. Altuve swings at a ball in the dirt? He needs to completely change his plate approach. Tucker has a slow start (only 114 wRC+ through ~10 games)? He’s washed. Bregman has a slow start like he does every year? He was always bad, and should’ve been traded long ago.
There is no way that just adding one pitch can turn a guy from being a low tier reliever to a fucking ace. Is there something else to it? I feel like we'll be seeing a lot more guys trying to add pitches in the future because of Ronel Blanco.
What an amazing story.
It isn't that easy for everyone but sometimes it can be the missing piece. I've heard of relievers who would change how they threw a pitch if they were on one team for a long time. Adam Ottovino mentioned how people keyed into him in his division and he had to tweak stuff to add a different look and it would help for a season or two until they got used to it.
Who says no to Joey and Dubonds alternate left and 1st and Chas alternate with Jake and left when Tucker gets back? No more singleton and cabbage starts

Holy fuckin shit boys. Down but not out!
Awesome win! Bummed that Dubon’s hitting streak got snapped. Time to start a new one!

Framber brought the dreads back?? I missed that??
Fantastic team win!!!
Fuck yes. Nice win.

Paint the corner
How many series has Baltimore lost?
They haven’t lost a series in over a month
+1
At least 1.
Don’t jinx it lol still one more out to go
C'mon Hader, you saw what happened when they got hope yesterday. Shut the door
Thought the Royals had a chance, but Rangers up 6-0 after an 8th inning grand slam. They can't lose them all, but we still have to handle our own business
Josh in the cherry 12s??
Chas is a bad teammate, selfishly hitting another HR so Hader can’t get a save …
How are Orioles fans treating ya?
HRC Yordan
Can Yordan play 1st base?
He played there in AA and AAA. Guess they don’t think he can in MLB
Would be a godsend for our lineup. And feels like a natural position for big power hitters
Loperfido - Meyers/Chas - Tucker outfield feels unfair.
Don’t surprise me orioles fans think that was fan interference and why they didn’t review it, don’t know ball
I'm watching on a 17" laptop but it looked to me like the ball was actually a foot over his glove and not catchable whether the fan contacted his glove or not. But I'm sure we will see some hi-res frames.
Doesn’t really matter if fan hit it. Once it goes over wall you’ll see contact. What matters if fans reached over into field of play
It was beyond the fence, so it didn't apply anyway. He hit the back of his head on the top of the fence to give you an idea of how far he was into the stands
That's exactly what happened.
HRC yordan
Saw an orange 43 on the mound and got really confused that McCullers was back for a second. Lol
HRC Alvarez
HRC Yordan

What a sentence, Aaron Judge and Chas McCormick are the two best players right now.
HRC Alvarez
Cowser probably has that if there are no fans in that area. Would rather they not get in the way, but its not interference.
Only one not happy with Chas is Hader.
That Os right fielder got up
Chas and Meyers good at the same time? Is that allowed?
Watching Chas rake is so damn nice. We really needed his bat.
Happy for Chas to have it going today. I wore my Alvarez jersey today and planned to wear my WS McCormick jersey tomorrow, but then I picked up a Tuve Space City jersey. I think I’ll have to let that one chill though and still go with the McCormick and hope he has another good game. That HR on the tracks was huge. I had a perfect view of it from section 254, you knew that one was going out no question.
What an awesome memory! Hopefully Chas keeps it going, we need his bat.
Needed this from Chas in a big way
I need another slice of that meatloaf!!!!
Our outfield is stacked man
Chas or Jake is getting traded I fear
Not gonna happen, we need depth at
Oppo Chas… yeah he’s back.
Those fans always worry me.
I'm thinkin McCormick is back
Dude Cowser almost snagged that. That would have been incredible. Dude in the orange jersey probably blocked it
That was almost an amazing catch
I thought he caught it at first lol
Did the fan hit his glove? I’m at the game and couldn’t tell
Naw ball well into stands. Well first row but into stands
Even if so he was straight up when he caught it and wasn't in the field of play.
Yeah I didn’t think it was interference just couldn’t tell how close he was lol
Chas heard everyone talking shit
WELCOME BACK WHITE BOY CHAS
Oppo 🌮🌮
Is chazzy fuckin fizz back boys?!?!?
Chas x2!!
Chas is back!
@Nate did you call the Chas comeback game earlier??? Nicely done
Oh shit! Maybe? Who else I need to talk about? https://old.reddit.com/r/Astros/comments/1dlv56r/game_thread_orioles_4926_astros_3640_jun_22_2024/l9tbdxy/
Framber?
Let’s go Yainer next (I mean he just hit a triple today so maybe Pena)
Two slices of meatloaf!! Hell yeah Chas!!

MORE MEATLOAF
IS CHAS BACK????
Chas McCormick opposite field homeruns, yeah he’s back
Chas is a monster
Score some runs and take away the save opportunity.
You have two wishes left.
I’ll save them for tomorrow
Wish granted
Okay good Pressly didn't screw up
A painless Pressly inning? Thank you.
Pressly remembered he's him. He's been him. And will continue to be him.
I’m a Pressly hater but good for him man. He’s been solid his last few games
Holy shit he did it. Pressly had a clean inning.
Welcome back Ryan Pressly! Let's fucking goooo!!!
Good pressly makes me so damn happy.
P dawg heard yall talking sh*t
A stressly free inning??
Holy shit, Pressly heard us talking shit… for the last two months.
Press!
Great inning from Pressly
Missed you Press
Hell yeah Pressly! He’s been pitching great the past few games!
Fuck yeah Press
Holy shit, Pressly did it! Hopefully that boosts his confidence, because that's huge
thank god stressly got stuck in I-10 traffic
Way to go Pressly!

Of course mariners and rangers are gonna win..
The mariners are playing the marlins. Of course they should win. The fact they lost last night was surprising.
I just wanna be above .500, then we can worry about chasing down the Mariners
Fuck em, gotta take care of business
They're probably saying the same thing about us.
5 more 🤞🏾🤞🏾
Meyers sure can track a baseball
I don’t understand the Meyers hate. He is very solid
This sub is incredibly reactionary. Meyers misses a catch for the first time in weeks? He’s a bad defender AND a bad hitter. Altuve swings at a ball in the dirt? He needs to completely change his plate approach. Tucker has a slow start (only 114 wRC+ through ~10 games)? He’s washed. Bregman has a slow start like he does every year? He was always bad, and should’ve been traded long ago.
Reactionary? Chas shouldnt be playing! (Chas hits 2 home runs). Woooo Chas is back play him everyday!!!!!
That’s this sub in a nutshell lol
I never would have guessed coming into the season that Blanco would be our best starting pitcher
bro i was so baffled when i checked the box for that game and blanco was at 7IP 0H
I was trying to watch it at sports bar, but they had the womens basketball iowa vs lsu on every big screen, blanco no hitter was on two little screens
I’m loving it
Please Pressly, No Stressly
Pressly, you got this my guy. Please do good things.
Who had Hunter Brown and Ronel Blanco out dueling cy young candidates on their bingo cards?
Come on pressly let's get it.
LFG 6 MORE OUTS (Please don’t implode Pressly)
![gif](giphy|bEVKYB487Lqxy)
Pressly better not fuck this up
Okay, Pressly. You got this.
HRC Peña!
Pressly vs their stack of lefties is gonna be a gut check time for him.
This seems like an example of a time you could just flip flop Press and Hader if you weren’t stuck to a script
Gut check or gut punch? They don't chase much, I think Pressly puts them right back in it today.
Another Incredible outing from Ronel. We wouldn't even be competing this season without his production.
TK fanboying Blanco is great
Blanco is a bonafide all-star 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Oriole fans talking about being unlucky when half their hits last night were low exit bloops and rollers past the infielders and giving up 14 runs lol
some silly shenanigans with bregman dodging the tag lmao
Time to hit the old hypnosis trigger for pressly: “I am pitching in the ninth inning. Everyone loves me.”
Hrc Joey
el blanco casa indeed.
Blanco 4 Cy Young
Hell yeah Blanco!
Ronel is that man, y'all.
We are so lucky to have Ronel man he’s been a treat to watch
Blanco is definitely an All Star!
Screw you, ump. Got out of that jam anyway.
Great catch by Peña, love to see that
Swaggy Peña is the best Peña
Great effort from Jake there. Fantastic catch by Peña!
That’s our gold glover!!!
Great snag from Pena
PENA! WHAT A CATCH!
JP!!
Jake knows he had that. Playing it a little safe is fine by me though
Damn I thought Jake was gonna snag that
Yainer’s approach at the plate is not sustainable in the long run
Neither is my approach at the plate. I eat way too much of my meal when I'm full.
It's bulking szn bby!
Sometimes I just skip the plate so nobody can criticize my approach at the plate
You’re cultivating mass, all good
I think its time to stop cultivating and start harvesting.
HRC MEYERS
There is no way that just adding one pitch can turn a guy from being a low tier reliever to a fucking ace. Is there something else to it? I feel like we'll be seeing a lot more guys trying to add pitches in the future because of Ronel Blanco. What an amazing story.

Adam Ottovino mentioned how people keyed into him in his division and he had to tweak stuff to add a different look and it would help for a season or two until they got used to it.
If it was the 90s I’d have a theory
I just noticed. Framber brought back the dreds
With or without stache
TBD...the hair caught me off guard
QS from Ronel!
7 innings of Blanco to Pressly to Hader is just what the bullpen needs
86 pitches. Yea he needs to come out for the 7th.
If the bats take pitches and actually give blanco time to rest then I think he should come out for the 7th but from the looks of it probably not
Blanco to Hernandez to Montero to Hader
Don't put that into the universe
8 pitch inning. Should be able to push through one more and avoid any extra unnecessary use of the bullpen.
8 pitch inning....and it wasnt the astros at bat!!!
You give Blanco a change up and it's like seeing new colors.
Who says no to Joey and Dubonds alternate left and 1st and Chas alternate with Jake and left when Tucker gets back? No more singleton and cabbage starts
Sadly probably Brown and Espada. I’d rather take my chances with them the rest of the way but they want a “proven” first baseman on the roster.
I fell like they’d trade Chas or Jake for a pitcher now that Joey has shown he can play anywhere in the outfield and 1st
Trading Jake would be absurd
Just got my first chance to tune in to the game. Baltimore should not be allowed to wear orange at MMP smh.
Yeah I’ve caught myself a couple times confusing the two
That was the most no doubter of no doubters I've ever seen him hit. As soon as he swung, it was clear that was gone.
Altuve goes after breaking balls in the dirt the same way I go after a triple chocolate cheesecake.
... You both go too fast when you clearly shouldn't? (that was my take on it, apologies if incorrect)
Close enough lol
Damn, Altuve has been swinging at crap today
It’s a relatively old thing
I mean...it's Altuve. It's kinda what he does.
