>>66879107
Does Gallardo have good stats at Rangers ballpark in Arlington?
pedro alvarez will homer today
Im not a fan of either team, but I would really like to see a Rags loss today
Anyone else?
>>66879273
yes
MANNY
Doing work on comp but have game on in other room.
Heard that Manny shot. Picking up where they left off eh?

shut up faggot
can't wait for Sosa to fuck your shit up
fuck Texas
Is Lewis good?
>gallardo

>can't strike anyone out
>can't get ground balls
still mad we signed this faggot
>>66879613
watch out for that broom m8
>fat players
for why?
>>66879684
It's ok man. Remember: You give the Rangers an important lead or they won't >rags
But yeah, Twins made Gallardo look more impressive than he should've
What do you call a pitcher who can't get outs?
>>66879779
Ranger Starter?
>>66879779
An Oriole starter in the 6th?
>>66879779
Not Chris Davis
>>66879779
>>66879967
how long until the Ms get him back discounted and he starts shutting out the rags?
>>66880030
You're assuming Ms FO is capable of good decisions
JONESY!
JONESY
>>66880227
Right on cue.
How many dongs will the O's hit this year?
Do they break 300?
if there's one thing I know about jonesy it's that he loves solo dingers
love dem dingers
>>66880395
I really hope he's fixed up. Jones chimes in with dingers when everyone else heats up, when he isn't on a tear himself.
also the O's are def in this crowds head. Every fly ball that leaves the infield you can hear gasps from the other sections
James Jerry bringing the hits tonight
Can we have a pedro dinger? It has to happen eventually...
dubs and JJ hits for the cycle tonight
>>66880459
And it's only April. They keep this production up through May and every away game will be like this.
Set up a heart charity for road game dingers.
>have 7 hit in 3 innings
>both runs came on solo homers
I am glad Hardy is playing well. The memories will keep me sane when he strikes out with RISP endlessly starting in June.
boy it sure would be fucking nice to fucking score in a fucking way other than a fucking solo homer
anyone got a stream? pls
Alvarez has more walks than strike outs. What is with these guys?
Love how Gallardo always talks about pitching to contact to keep his pitch count low but is behind on nearly every hitter and gets to a shit ton of 3-2 counts.
>>66880592
Orioles baseball
>>66880676
He has more walks than hits, too.
>Lewis 50 pitches through 3.0 IP
>Gallardo 51 pitches through 2.0 IP
ground ball pls
please fuck off, gallardo
please
fuck
off
it would be nice to have a single fucking decent starting pitcher
>>66880822
well, we have one, but he's on the DL
>>66880822
>Matusz was a 4th overall draft pick
>red jerseys
>>66880887
Will Gausman save the Orioles' rotation?
>>66880895
>Matt Hobgood exists
>>66880917
no
nothing can
he's certainly better than fucking mike wright, though
>>66880945
What I want to know is why the fuck is Wright starting over Wilson?
>>66880969
muh velocity
muh AAA ERA
>>66880945
>Going into the 2009 draft, many professional scouts were excited about Hobgood. In addition to his pitching, Hobgood was lauded for his eating and playstation 2 playing abilities.
>>66880917
I want to hope he's not as polarizing as he's been. Maybe his laser eyes will help now. Really want to think him and Schoop are on the same POP! schedule.
Winning that duel on Felix 2 years back still impressive as fuck.
>>66881044
I really think he will improve since he will have a solid place in the rotation for the first time. When Gausman comes up Wright needs to go down and have Worley or Wilson be the 5th starter. At least Worley can throw something other than a fastball.
>>66881116
>inb4 gausman is optioned when a reliever is needed
Jones' homerun was a bomb
manny being manny
Christian Walker hits 3rd home run of the year to end 26 straight scoreless innings for the Tides.
3 up 3 down inning? The fuck is this?
Don't look now, but Gallardo's pitching alright now.
>>66881163
I really hate seeing Gausman getting yo-yoed through AAA through the years.
>>66881275
Remember when Chen threw a fit when he was optioned last year? Imagine if he had to deal with half the bullshit Gausman has been through.
>>66881275
He was only yo-yoed through AAA because he constantly shit the bed at the major league level.
He has never shown that he has the command to be a major league starter. I hate to say it, but he looks to me like a Joe Kelly type. Good stuff, but can't locate it. Doesn't matter how good your stuff is, major league hitters will punish center-cut fastballs.
>>66881271
Hey Worley got over shit after the second last night.
Game will be decided in the 6th or 7th. Everything else is fluff.
HULK SMASH
CRUSHED
HULK SMASH
LOL
CRUSH SNEAKING ONE OUT.
boom
Thanks rags
>another solo homer
>>66881343
Plus the O's had shit like Gonzalez and Bud Norris pushing him out of the rotation last year. It's hard for a pitcher to settle in when he's constantly being shuffled from the majors to the minors and back.
More solo yolo shots
>>66881343
Would Gausman be more of team player if told he's better from the pen?
I mean, Britton is probably a great role model for that. Hell the times Gas came into a game from the pen he was pretty sick.
>>66881452
He'd have pushed out either Gonzo or Norris if he had managed to pitch decently. Not great, but league-average. He couldn't do it. He has never been able to do it.
I know his situation hasn't been ideal, and we really want to believe, but I just can't. I see him as, tops, maybe a #3 or #4 on a contending team.
>>66881481
No. We need him to be a starter at this point. Use Mike Wright for the heaters out of the pen.
>>66881481
>gausman as a reliver
ew
no
get out
>>66881481
I think a lot of what put Britton, Matusz, Hunter and Arrieta in the bullpen was that they could not handle going through a lineup multiple times. They were too one dimensional and hitters exposed them eventually.
>>66881481
Maybe, but I can see why the Orioles would be reluctant to give up on Gausman as a starter. We really, really need starters right now, and our pen is already fantastic. Giving up on a potentially useful starter to gain another good reliever doesn't buy us much.
Unfortunately, at this point I'm just not sure how potentially useful Gausman is as a starter, unless he pulls some better command out of his ass.
>>66881524
I'd say let this year be his test and see how he does, no yo-yo bullshit. If he sinks, he sinks. I don't think he will have ace stuff, but a number 3 starter in this rotation would be a boost at this point.
SMALL BALL
Wow! A run on something other than a solo shit!
Also Pedro RBI!
A run without a dinger, look at that!
Are there any rags fans in this thread?
>>66881634
Given his competition, yeah, I don't see any downsides to just giving him a spot and seeing what happens. But I'm not all that optimistic.
>>66881782
Yeah, that's fair. I think Bundy has the better stuff, he just needs to stay healthy.
Can we please extend Machado long term? Sports today make me sad seeing players constantly move all over the place. It would be nice to keep Manny around.
Gallardo really tried to give up a dinger there damn
There were definitely angels in the outfield in that AB.
Three 400+ fly balls, and an out.
It concerns me that Gallardo's fastball is averaging below 90mph
>>66881911
Gameday thinks about 90% of his fastballs are changeups.
So does the MASN pitch tracker. In his last start, it said he threw 5% fastballs.
>>66881830
Bundy has had miserable luck with his injuries, but definitely has more upside. He's looked very good out of the pen so far this year, to be honest - he doesn't exactly throw gas, but he's got good movement on all his pitches and good control. Plus, his delivery is really nice to look at - so smooth!
>>66881911
Doesn't matter if he can mix it up and hit his spots.
>>66881911
>>66881946
He's got nothing on Jered Weaver in that department.
>>66881955
He was tossing some very nice offspeed stuff the other night in Boston. Looking promising, that's for sure.
>>66881975
That's true, but he seems to have trouble hitting his spots.
He starts every AB with 1-0.
>>66881532
True. I dont remember if we did this last season after the Marlels lit him up
>>66881610
He's also shown to be as competent at the least as the other starters we've had. It's just Gas has either gone like 8 innings or been completely ripped up.
He needs to find a niche vs a certain team. I thought he had one on the Yankees, but...
>>66882039
I think it's because he sucks.
We'll need an Orioles REEE poster if this keeps up.
>>66882098
Wait never mind.
>Gallardo 88 pitches
>Lewis 89 pitches
We did it bros!
>>66882098
No, Boston has it claimed out of all 30 fanbases, and they'll need it for the next 20 years until they finally win another championship
>>66882076
Nope, Wright had 7 starts after his start in Miami. He was only used three times in relief, zero ER in all three relief appearances.
My local "Orioles radio network" station is playing the Giants and Dodgers game for no reason.
I have to listen to an extremely static prone AM station which mixes signal with a Spanish talk station to hear based Joe and Mike.
>Promo for the Who's
Time for the 6th inning starter implosion!
>>66882435
Hunter just jinxed it, but I'll still blame you
SEE! Fucking bobble

Isn't that how it always begins? Error by the otherwise flawless defense?

That defense.
Holy fucking shit, that defense.

HOLY SHIT
DAT MANNY SPIN
Gallardo sits on 96 through 6.0.
Leave him in?
>>66882636
I will say yes because the starters have been such shit, but have someone ready to come in at the first sign of trouble.
>>66882636
>O's starter makes it thorough 6
>Lead
Greed is a bad creed
>mfw manny is so good he can even break the 6th Inning Curse
How much will it take to extend Manny? 300mil/10yr?
>>66882678
I want to but the next Texas batter is a lefty so probably not.
>gallardo coming back out
BUCK NO
Gallardo is coming back out, the absolute madman
>Gallardo turning over the lineup a 4th time
Buck thinks the starting pitcher implosion is a good luck tradition or something?
buckknows.jpg
I'm not worried.
Ball one, what a surprise
don't do it, buck
Is anyone up in the bullpen?
lead off fucking walk
>>66883048
To be fair, he got squeezed pretty hard. Two of those were very borderline.
>>66883061
Very true, but the problem is Orioles pitchers rarely adjust to being squeezed and keep trying to get the call. I guess it beats giving up a homerun though.
>McFarland
gg rags
>Orilels
kek
I would say I can't believe it but I can
lolololol
Pornstache, ya killing me son
>leave a terrible starter in the game
>bring in an even worse reliever
year after year of being shit and McFarland is still on this team giving up leads
>>66883391
He's only good when the other team already has a 10 run lead and Buck needs someone to eat innings.
>BALTIMORE
>intentionally walking to get to moreland
Givens is pretty fucking bad this year
bad time to be in orange
have no fear, Baltimore fans
you still get to hit against the rangers relievers, aka literal BP
>>66883422
Kevin Gregg?
Ok, time for a comeback
>>66883506
pls
Every other time I leave for work they shit the bed or score 9 runs
Wat do
Arlington is a fucking dumpster fire of city planning.
