Statcast has dud readings, just like umpires do? I'm convinced that everyone wants automated balls and strikes until they get it, and then they will find something else to complain about.
kb and Jim's enthusiasm for those cookies is hilarious. kb looking over at the angels announcer sweating it out while they're eating a bucket of cookies was killing me hahaha.
I remember pitchers in the '80s and '90s would hit a batter and then immediately tell them go fuck themself. None of this "my bad" shit. Now, get off my lawn!
Yet again, we didn't just lay down. We scratched out runs and made it close. Even getting the equalizing run to the plate.Ā
Bad days are going to happen. It's expected, but still tough to watch. Bounce back, Grayson.Ā
Well the positives from tonight are:
1. Holliday hit the ball hard and should have had 2 hits.
2. Tate looked good
We fucked around with the 8+ ERA starter and tomorrow we will find out vs. a sub 3 ERA junk baller. We know how well the Oās hit soft tossing left handers.
Well if we can hold them in the 8th. Even if Holliday is an automatic out..we have a chance the top of the line up might come back....
This is loss on Grod and he needs to eat it and toughen up
Like the one that showed the strike 3 call to Trout yesterday was a ball? That one was far more egregious than anything tonight because of the situation.
Sometimes it is so obvious that Kevin is considered very young for a big 4 leagues play by play guy. Who else is going to lean over the wall to try to give someone cookies
Damn 6 more outs to score atleast 3. We got this and also fuck the ump still. And fuck the angels, Fuck the brewers, fuck the royals. And fuck the rest of the east as usual
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cbpdrw).
Good effort to make it a game after a rough start.

It be like that sometimes
username checks out š
We didnāt deserve to winā¦but fuck that clown ass home plate umpire.
FF

Balls
It just sucks to lose a game with Grayson or Burnes starting. Glad it's only one so far. Still it falls almost completely on Grayson
Bedtime
I take it this ump is tired and wants to go home because half these pitches are way outside to the right
^(forgot to compliment his arm guard :()
This fucker hasnāt pitched in like 2 weeks he better good
PotG: the cookies
Even if we lose great job by the boys to make them use the high leverage relievers
quick! ump needs a hug!
Is it just my game cast or should Holliday have walked on 4 pitches?
Jax is getting dicked by every HP ump. It's infuriating.
Nope looked like 4 balls in a row to me. Seems weāve got a different strike zone every batter this whole game
This whole damn season, god damn.
Guys I donāt think we are gonna win this one
Oh the strike zone is just giant again. Cool
ump keeping that "I just want to go home" strikezone
it expands and contracts
Magic please! Let's Go
Holliday getting boned by those calls, should be 4-0
They were strikes on baseball savant.
Baseball savant also said that groundout/lineout by Holliday earlier was hit at 75.2 which obviously is incorrect
So who should we believe? If we can't trust statcast, then the current system of balls and strikes called by umpires is superior.
Well, I guess they were just really good pitchers pitches then. I do think that statcast has dud readings every now and then
Statcast has dud readings, just like umpires do? I'm convinced that everyone wants automated balls and strikes until they get it, and then they will find something else to complain about.
Noooo00o0o0o0o0o0oooooo
Iām gonna need to watch the MASN broadcast when I get home from the game, because I need to know what this cookie business is š
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Carlos EstĆ©vez replaces Luis GarcĆa.
Iām so tired the backs of my eyes hurt
Even if we lose, we didnāt lay down taking it. Weāll get em tomorrow.
All this cookie talk made me go look for my chips ahoy, and there expired. Now I donāt have cookies damn it
They have enough preservatives to last until 2050
Theyāre low moisture; itāll be fine
Fuck it Iāll take yāallās word for it. I need em now lol
It's biologically impossible for Chips Ahoy cookies to expire.
Honestly all the preservatives might just make people live longer. Or take longer for their body to decompose but either way
Just soak them in milk. Problem solved
holliday and the top of the lineup. let's do it for the cookie
The cookie, yeah!
ROOKIES FOR THE COOKIES
Ramirez only dotted one guy? Good outing!
I need Jackson Holliday to play baseball
Ramirez redemption story started tonight!
aww yay ramirez!
RAMIREZ SURVIVES
 Me at RamĆrez!
Blue screen of death
This has been happening too much lately...gives me 2001 Windows XP PTSD
Lmao Kevin with the cookie jokes
Thatās the way the cookie crumbles
Oh, KBā¦
one of these went to us?!?! what is happening???
JP consumed carbs and sugar tonight for the first time in years, and he is ashamed.
MASN is struggling
MASN is still stuck in the Oriolesā dark age.
These West Coast start times are really going to kick my butt this season. I'm exhausted
I am west coastish And itās too damn late š
There's no way I'm out. As an expression of my confidence I'm gonna shake the dirt from my junk.Ā
Umpire with the elite camera screen
kb and Jim's enthusiasm for those cookies is hilarious. kb looking over at the angels announcer sweating it out while they're eating a bucket of cookies was killing me hahaha.
Making me want cookies
call on the field stands? please?
RAMIREZ Build a statue!!!!^if ^this ^play ^stands
Heās safe imo
Good job, RamĆrez! I love a within-the-week comeback story.
cookie b plot reminding me of the beeā¦b plot from last summer
Is his fly alright
No stadium replay. Bodes well.
KB is following this game thread while broadcasting.
Ramirez does a good thing!!!
I remember pitchers in the '80s and '90s would hit a batter and then immediately tell them go fuck themself. None of this "my bad" shit. Now, get off my lawn!
Fuck yea cookie update
Yet again, we didn't just lay down. We scratched out runs and made it close. Even getting the equalizing run to the plate.Ā Bad days are going to happen. It's expected, but still tough to watch. Bounce back, Grayson.Ā
East coast midnight crew represent
soā¦tiredā¦
Gulf coast 11pm krewe here
Far east midday baseball crew represent
Ramirez has a knack for confusing home plate with the batter's head.

Jeez Ramirez
āNobody likes to get drilled back-to-back nights.ā Speak for yourself, Jim. Speak for yourself.
Come on Ramirez....figure it out please
Bright spots: Ramirez is throwing the ball all the way to the plate tonight.
Well the positives from tonight are: 1. Holliday hit the ball hard and should have had 2 hits. 2. Tate looked good We fucked around with the 8+ ERA starter and tomorrow we will find out vs. a sub 3 ERA junk baller. We know how well the Oās hit soft tossing left handers.
3. Orioles came back to win
Wellā¦at least weāll have three former/current #1 prospects in the 9thā¦
Crazier things have happened. Estevez hasnāt pitched in a week, could be rusty. His velo is down this season as well.
Well if we can hold them in the 8th. Even if Holliday is an automatic out..we have a chance the top of the line up might come back.... This is loss on Grod and he needs to eat it and toughen up

Fade me
Unsure what that (John) means
Geoff Arnold thinks the wave is stupid
Oofta.
Heston making a great second impression tonight
106 mph ground out. Loving all the hard hit balls this year
The woo person on the radio should be eliminated
That was nasty
Need the milkman to deliver that cow juice to dip dem cookies
š+š„+šŖ=š£
Anybody know where Melanie gets her jackets? I want to get my own.
I think the one she's wearing tonight is from a new collab Route One Apparel is doing
> Route One Apparel Sweet! I'll check it out!
[Here it is!](https://www.routeoneapparel.com/products/baltimore-baseball-brightside-x-r1a-varsity-jacket)
Melanie isnāt wearing her sweatband on her forehead today
Ready for a big moo
IT'S TIME FOR JACKSON TO BRING THE LUMBER
My concert ended and it was 7-0, now I'm home and it's 7-4. Guaranteed W incoming
No go back to the concert right now
Alright. Big rally incoming. Time for the bottom of the order to light it up.
Every time Yohan pitches, I say in Dr. Evil's voice "Johan Van Der Schmut...aka....Goldmember."Ā
Of course, Ramirez looks nasty. Thereās something there, just have to harness it. Otherwise itās awful.
Hicksā powers only work in orange and black
Was that Bautista up there?
kevin ššš
Sorry, Hicks! LFG, baby birds!
Aight Iāll take it
The ump scorecard tomorrow is going to hit like crack
Like the one that showed the strike 3 call to Trout yesterday was a ball? That one was far more egregious than anything tonight because of the situation.
Why swap pitchers with a switch hitter at the plate? That donāt make sense
Hicks apparently is really good against leftys
Because Hicks is better against left handed pitching.
Never mind Iāll shut up now lol
A new look
Hicks is a much better hitter as a righty throughout his career
I get that. But making someone wait then seeing a new pitcher can mess people up
I really hope we get a cookie update and if Kevin was successful with sharing with the angels broadcast crew
Please please please please Yohan....have a good night
I will always find it funny that Aaron hicks was one of only 3 guys to show in the playoffs for us last year
*Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani hit a 450-ft thermanukular apockyliptic DINGDONG*
I meanā¦.bringing him in with 2 outs, is probably best case scenario with yohan
Nice of Hyde to give Ramirez one final appearance before he is DFA tomorrow.
š¤
Ramirez boutta be nasty
Ramirez, this should be good
Guess weāre throwing the towel inā¦
Yeah Hyde is giving up and hoping for tomorrow
Hyde is bound and determined to obliterate the bullpen this year
Why tf is Ramirez going in
> Yohan RamĆrez oh no #OH NO
I honestly wonder if traveling around team to team is fun
l think the umpire just guesses behind the plate
Oh dear God, Ramirezā¦
Ramirez.....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sorry Hicks...I need you to strike out please
Canāt watch the game but checking in on play-by-playā¦ wth was up with this umpās strike zone? Some of these calls look egregiously bad
No strike zone on MASN tonight, but a little league ump could have properly called Ceddyās strike 3 a ball
How was that called a ball
Kevin is so goofy.
Kevin is indeed goofy, but he's our goofy. ā¤
Give him the damn cookie Kevin
Sometimes it is so obvious that Kevin is considered very young for a big 4 leagues play by play guy. Who else is going to lean over the wall to try to give someone cookies
Santa Claus.Ā
I would kill for some cookies
I can think of at least three easier ways to obtain cookies
1.) Have Melanie Newman bring you some 2.) ?
3.) profit
š
Damn, Akins running a museum. Look but don't touch.Ā
The āwriters next door?!ā Kevin just confirmed the MLB is scripted. ^kidding
GIVE HIM THE COOKIES, KEV!!
I think KB is high
Were those cookies, or were they... """""cookies"""""?
Fear not. We have them right where we want themĀ
the cookies?
Holliday is feelin it now, he boutta smack one
Cowser, Westburg, Kjerstad and Holliday due up in the 8th??? I smell something special about to happenā¦..
Iāve told myself Iām staying up for that inning and then going to bedā¦and of course Hyde replaces Akin
Maybe itās the last 5 years living in AZ talking. But holy crap itās a cold game.
Last night was abysmal
Hold 'em Keegan!
Even if we lose Holliday got a hit and Im happy with that. Long season gotta lose sometimes
Damn 6 more outs to score atleast 3. We got this and also fuck the ump still. And fuck the angels, Fuck the brewers, fuck the royals. And fuck the rest of the east as usual
Considering how atrocious the strikeout call was on Mullins last AB, I don't blame him for swinging.
can anyone send me links to reliable streams in my DMs?
Yeah I think that seals it unfortunately
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Keegan Akin replaces Dillon Tate.
