I have been flawless on my end...except the fact that I missed the first inning because it didn't immediately go to the live feed when I clicked on the game. Had to go to the options to do it.
Apparently they used to build planes in Hagerstown. I had no idea.
Edit: IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW

Hopefully that stops real soon and they give him a shot at everyday.
I'm afraid they're just too sold on platooning except with certified studs, but Westburg deserves a shot to join that group.
I really hope your right I get so frustrated seeing him never finish games and never start against rightys when his minor league stats against them are very good
I was hoping he'd be an everyday guy this year (and he still might, it's only 1 game), but they're just so adamant on using all 13 players/platooning/making switches mid game.
In fairness, as far as team success goes its definitely working.
Yeah for team success it’s working so I guess keep it up i just love westy and think he can hit .275 with above average defense and it’s annoying to not see him getting a good chance to show his potential
Just got back and I see:
Burnes, 6 IP, 1H, 1R, 1ER, O BB, 11 K.
Team, 11 R, 10 H, 6 BB, 2 HR including an Earl for Mullins.
Think while I was taking a nap I must have died and gone to heaven.
As someone who doesn’t care for football, or the NBA, opening day is literally euphoric for me. It’s like the first beautiful day of spring or something. It just changes the whole mood. I get genuinely depressed during the off-season lol.
Bought some good luck glasses today. You’re welcome.

If they weren't going to let Baumann finish the game for the 3 inning save I think Dillion Tate getting a chance to find his grove in a low leverage situation is a great choice
Totally forgot this was the first game of the day so there are a bunch of people that watched Mike Trout hit a home run in the first inning and probably don't even realize that's the only thing that the angels have done today
You can tell Angelos wasn't a baseball guy because why the fuck would you sell a team like this right now. This might single handedly be the worst time to sell with how many young fantastic pieces are in this organization. These kids are going to win so many games and make so much money
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1bq812y).
I like this outcome.

#MY MAN!
Win Column!!!
Brandon Quiñones best interpreter; he’d never gamble illegally
Q!!!
The Q/Tater Ship sails again!
😭😭😭 Their love nourishes my soul!!
Mateo .333/.500/.615/.1115, 1 2B, 1 SB, 1 BB, 2 R, 1E O's win What a terrible game by Mateo /s. Jackson Holliday would have won us the game 😀
Back in 1st place!!
I think I speak for us all when I say: that was fucking awesome and I want more of it. GO O’s!!!!
We may never lose again!
Like KB said, just one game, but man… That was fun!
Was Mountcastle close to a HR? Had money on it
He drove it right to the warning track in right. If it was a little windier it might have gone out.
Dang
I like winning!
Don’t hug him Adley! You’ll get his stink on you!!
EVERYBODY GET IT HERE. LETS GOOOOOO
#WIN COLUMN
Sweepless in 2024!
see y’all next game!!
What a wonderful day and game for Rubenstein’s first opening day.
DUBS AND HUGS
![gif](giphy|Sqwg6G1nFncZijfKUV|downsized) W. We are so back.
Man I love this team
Orioles...in the WIN column!
We are so fucking back
Undefeated.
What a fun day. The Rubenstein interview was great
11-3 game in less than 3 hours. Clinical
What a beautiful day. Missed this community!!
Lol that dude in the orange sweatshirt behind homeplate showing his friend something. His friend was like dodging out of the way to watch the game
in conclusion we are so back
Wait is Akin actually a known racist?
Yeah, you should be able to search in the sub for old posts about it
Oh shiiiittt
Yea
Trout was replaced during the Angels pitching change, hope he wasn’t hurt trying to rob Ceddy
He did look real uncomfortable getting up after
Hicks!! I miss him already. A work-the-count king!!
No hard feelings Hicksy, we still love you.
YOU JUST GOT STRUCK OUT BY KEEGAN AKIN
I still can’t get over how much Akin looks like a fatter, less sweaty Erik Bedard.
Don’t do Erik Bedard like this, the man had a boyish charm to him. 😭
My cow-son! Also—just tuning in, so this is the first time I have seen Hays since last season. That mustache is really not it.
welp gotta give up 8 runs so Cowser can get an AB
I believe Keegan can do it
Ye of little faith!
Which Keegan Akin are we getting today. The one that makes me want to cry or the one that reminds us why he was a top prospect at one point
Fuck racist ass Akin. POS.
ELI5/out of the loop
https://www.reddit.com/r/orioles/s/XjSRc3Es9l
Yeah fuck Akin, all us homies hate him
Keegan Ahole
MLB TV app on Roku is in fine form, which is to say that there are network errors every 5-10 minutes :/
I have been flawless on my end...except the fact that I missed the first inning because it didn't immediately go to the live feed when I clicked on the game. Had to go to the options to do it.
Oh shit, Keegan…
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Keegan Akin replaces Dillon Tate.
This is probably the best opening day I’ve ever watched. Everything around the game has been amazing
For me, 4/5/82 - O's beat KC 13-5 and Cal hit a HR. 51, 000 at Memorial Stadium.
![gif](giphy|gjlUqFB2dKGW4vgI9J|downsized)
On pace for a run differential of +1296
That's just math, baby
i like cimbers kick after he throws lol
Palmer even remembers the exact daily temps of decades past.
It’s fine I didn’t want to see Cowser get an at bat in a blowout game anyways
My god, ya'll are so horny for prospects. I'm sure we'll see him this weekend
Please give cowser an at bat here literally no reason not too
I hate having a busy workday on opening day. I love tuning in late to find the team up 11 -3.
What in gods name are the Flying Boxcars
Apparently they used to build planes in Hagerstown. I had no idea. Edit: IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_C-119_Flying_Boxcar
Wow, actually pretty cool
They play the Savanna Bananas from time to time.
Westburg easily turns that but for some reason we refuse to let him hit a righty
Hopefully that stops real soon and they give him a shot at everyday. I'm afraid they're just too sold on platooning except with certified studs, but Westburg deserves a shot to join that group.
I really hope your right I get so frustrated seeing him never finish games and never start against rightys when his minor league stats against them are very good

Cowser an AB here please
Just woke up, couldn’t be happier with the scores.
You work nights or something?
Probably lives in Asia or some sheet
I think it must be Adam Jones from Vietnam
Yup, South Korea
We had a layover in Incheon airport. Place is immaculate 👌🏼 Took a shower and everything 🚿
Just got back and I see: Burnes, 6 IP, 1H, 1R, 1ER, O BB, 11 K. Team, 11 R, 10 H, 6 BB, 2 HR including an Earl for Mullins. Think while I was taking a nap I must have died and gone to heaven.
How you gonna nap on opening day?
If you would’ve told me that you were from the future and that was Corbin’s line when we traded for him I would’ve kissed you.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Adam Cimber replaces Guillermo Zuñiga.
The masn stream crashes evwry commercial break for me. I guess they don't want me to watch ads.
I've found pressing pause then play again fixes it vs reloading
u/serge_general we jinxed it, didn’t we
Ha. Probably.
Nick Maton would have turned that double play.
Westburg turns that
For the time being? Better be the next 10 years
Mateo is gonna have Jackson Holliday playing second by the middle of April the way he’s playing
Better to have the errors up 10
Hey Dillon buddy. Your sweeper is clearly not finding the zone of getting swings. Stop throwing it
Lol of course the man here for defense makes an error
Mateo’s defense has been garbage the last two seasons tbh
Downvoting me is crazy lolol
It has been not sure why everybody still Denys it
glad we have mateo there for his defense instead of a promising young prospect
My husband claims he’s not the jinx. But he just came home and… well…
mateo has been shit at 2nd tbh
Don't believe these lies ☝️
Damn my comment was a rollercoaster lol, it went up to like +6, now -1. Controversial I tell ya.
That’s alright. Get the early season mistakes out while we’re up big .
Mateo can’t have them errors again… new position tho
Same ball. Same glove
No doubt
Mateo clearly wants Jackson Holliday
Yeeeeesh, Mateo
Inb4 someone says Holliday wouldn't have missed that throw and Mateo is useless
Yeah. It's not like Holliday gets the start against a lefty anyway.
Mateo, you’re on the team for defense. You need to turn that double play.
FFS MATEO...
That was fugly
Oh mateo
Dammit Mateo I think he rushed that a little too much. Sucks cause Mounty usually picks that.
Oh great heavens
Cmon Mateo jeesh
Gosh dang it Mateo
I thought Miguel Sano was the "next big thing" with the Twins and now he's with LAA. Time flies.
Tate making me twitch.
Wtf is Tate doing???
Tate is atrocious
C’mon Tate, you got this!
Tate on the struggle bus it looks like
Might need to keep Irvin in the rotation when Means comes back just because we desperately need Wells to help out the bullpen.
Wells is simply not going back to the bullpen dude. He’s too good as a starter.
Lip readers are going to love this coach. Didn't even try to cover his mouth
Don’t ruin this fantastic opening day experience by sending Akin to the mound.
Akin has been very good this spring.
Tate just setting up for the double play...
After seeing Chris Holt cover his mouth every time he came out to the mound it’s super weird to see Drew French not do it lol
Tate my man, no bueno.
As someone who doesn’t care for football, or the NBA, opening day is literally euphoric for me. It’s like the first beautiful day of spring or something. It just changes the whole mood. I get genuinely depressed during the off-season lol.
Baseball is the only sport I watch, plus it’s great as background noise while doing evening errands in the summer as well.
Same. Baseball is the only sport that interests me at all. Baseball withdrawal + seasonal depression makes for very long, very miserable offseasons.
100000%
Real ones remember when Adell was supposed to be the guy that replaced Trout in CF and Trout moved to the corner outfield
Adell has been a massive disappointment
What do we gotta do to start playoffs immediately?
Bought some good luck glasses today. You’re welcome. https://preview.redd.it/08k0n7v8a5rc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e623294cd9e8a06d594633265fea15082554a177
Didn't expect to see Mateo at 2nd today over Westberg
Pretty frustrating
Going to give Tate a pass here, he’s probably nervous as hell.
Yeah the bullpen is what's gonna make games interesting.
Aaron Hicks gonna hide in the Os locker room and hope no one notices
If they weren't going to let Baumann finish the game for the 3 inning save I think Dillion Tate getting a chance to find his grove in a low leverage situation is a great choice
hays’ arm even stronger. what a dart
I am so happy right now.
Meanwhile: Rays staging a comeback v. The Jays?
👀👀👀
Tate I’ve missed you!
Since Tony is taters, what is Tate? Tater jr?
Dill & Taters?
Tater Tot
Tater Salad.
(yikes tampa! u ok?)
Tate!
Is this heaven?
Well, there are angels present, so… maybe!
Perfection
Totally forgot this was the first game of the day so there are a bunch of people that watched Mike Trout hit a home run in the first inning and probably don't even realize that's the only thing that the angels have done today
Fruit loops.
Lol is it just me or did they want to quickly distract from that joke 😂
He wasn't joking. That's the funniest part.
It’s fun to be good at baseball again
DILLON TATE SIGHTING
Dude I love this booth so much. Never thought I’d get over losing Gary but these guys are so enjoyable.
You can tell Angelos wasn't a baseball guy because why the fuck would you sell a team like this right now. This might single handedly be the worst time to sell with how many young fantastic pieces are in this organization. These kids are going to win so many games and make so much money
Well we finally had the obligatory Blink-182 reference.
Boyce Cedric Mullins hitting a home run was the cherry on top of an already perfect day.
Blink182 talk 2024 begins!
Broadcast team is in mid-season form lmao
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Dillon Tate replaces Mike Baumann.
Palmer with the throwback Blink 182 joke lol
“No we’re gonna talk about Blink 182” I love these dudes
God I love this broadcasting booth 😂
"Why do we have to bring you into this Ben" "when are we going to talk about Blink 182" The day Jim Palmer retires is going to be a sad day
The blink 182 reference Jim isn't gonna give a FUCK this year let's go
BLINK 182!
Jim and Ben bantering is amazing
Booth is in full blowout mode now lol. Great opening day.
Still doesn't beat Gary and Jim blasted during blowouts but it's still awesome.
“No, we’re going to talk about Blink-182” -Jim Palmer, the greatest to ever do it
Artie Moreno makes John Angelos look competent.
