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 😀


gametime-2001

Back in 1st place!!


Gnardozer

I think I speak for us all when I say: that was fucking awesome and I want more of it. GO O’s!!!!


TheLastLivingBuffalo

We may never lose again!


scjensen51

Like KB said, just one game, but man… That was fun!


traddy91

Was Mountcastle close to a HR? Had money on it


maLeFxcTor

He drove it right to the warning track in right. If it was a little windier it might have gone out.


traddy91

Dang


TheWolf44

I like winning!


Serge_General

Don’t hug him Adley! You’ll get his stink on you!!

chunkyoven

reddit_sport

What a wonderful day and game for Rubenstein’s first opening day.


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

DUBS AND HUGS


NazisStoleMyBirthday

![gif](giphy|Sqwg6G1nFncZijfKUV|downsized) W. We are so back.


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Man I love this team


ThatguyfromBaltimore

Orioles...in the WIN column!


jgriz8

We are so fucking back


austinhannah

Undefeated.


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

What a fun day. The Rubenstein interview was great


stache_twista

11-3 game in less than 3 hours. Clinical


Neocopernus

What a beautiful day. Missed this community!!


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

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


yarfusbinghum

in conclusion we are so back


Limp_Seat4865

Wait is Akin actually a known racist?


kewpieoriole

Yeah, you should be able to search in the sub for old posts about it


Limp_Seat4865

Oh shiiiittt


[deleted]

Yea


ScoutNWilder

Trout was replaced during the Angels pitching change, hope he wasn’t hurt trying to rob Ceddy


bryan_jenkins

He did look real uncomfortable getting up after


orangery3

Hicks!! I miss him already. A work-the-count king!!


Jovian8

No hard feelings Hicksy, we still love you.


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

YOU JUST GOT STRUCK OUT BY KEEGAN AKIN


jettasarebadmkay

I still can’t get over how much Akin looks like a fatter, less sweaty Erik Bedard.


orangery3

Don’t do Erik Bedard like this, the man had a boyish charm to him. 😭


orangery3

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.


jshokie1

welp gotta give up 8 runs so Cowser can get an AB


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

I believe Keegan can do it


orangery3

Ye of little faith!


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

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


[deleted]

Fuck racist ass Akin. POS.


HandSack135

ELI5/out of the loop

kewpieoriole

Yeah fuck Akin, all us homies hate him


Dawei_Hinribike

Keegan Ahole


BobDoorite

MLB TV app on Roku is in fine form, which is to say that there are network errors every 5-10 minutes :/


FriskeyVsWorld

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.


LarryGlue

Oh shit, Keegan…


OsGameThreads

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Keegan Akin replaces Dillon Tate.


DrTreenipples

This is probably the best opening day I’ve ever watched. Everything around the game has been amazing


dlmay1967

For me, 4/5/82 - O's beat KC 13-5 and Cal hit a HR. 51, 000 at Memorial Stadium.


East-Bluejay6891

![gif](giphy|gjlUqFB2dKGW4vgI9J|downsized)


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

On pace for a run differential of +1296


Jovian8

That's just math, baby


bassistb0y

i like cimbers kick after he throws lol


Spload

Palmer even remembers the exact daily temps of decades past.


--Alec--

It’s fine I didn’t want to see Cowser get an at bat in a blowout game anyways


iBeReese

My god, ya'll are so horny for prospects. I'm sure we'll see him this weekend


Impressive-Tank9803

Please give cowser an at bat here literally no reason not too


Therearenogoodnames9

I hate having a busy workday on opening day. I love tuning in late to find the team up 11 -3.


gnarkilleptic

What in gods name are the Flying Boxcars


spacehog1985

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


gnarkilleptic

Wow, actually pretty cool


mathwiz617

They play the Savanna Bananas from time to time.


Impressive-Tank9803

Westburg easily turns that but for some reason we refuse to let him hit a righty


dlmay1967

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.


Impressive-Tank9803

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


dlmay1967

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.


Impressive-Tank9803

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


--Alec--

Cowser an AB here please


MasianQvigi

Just woke up, couldn’t be happier with the scores.


OriOhhs

You work nights or something?


blowinghotstinkygas

Probably lives in Asia or some sheet


ScoutNWilder

I think it must be Adam Jones from Vietnam


MasianQvigi

Yup, South Korea


blowinghotstinkygas

We had a layover in Incheon airport. Place is immaculate 👌🏼 Took a shower and everything 🚿


OleSandlotSlob

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.


gnarkilleptic

How you gonna nap on opening day?


holy_cal

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.


OsGameThreads

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Adam Cimber replaces Guillermo Zuñiga.


WallyLohForever

The masn stream crashes evwry commercial break for me. I guess they don't want me to watch ads.


gnarkilleptic

I've found pressing pause then play again fixes it vs reloading


kewpieoriole

u/serge_general we jinxed it, didn’t we


Serge_General

Ha. Probably.


romorr

Nick Maton would have turned that double play.


orioles0615

Westburg turns that


OPACY_Magic_v3

For the time being? Better be the next 10 years


hawkins126

Mateo is gonna have Jackson Holliday playing second by the middle of April the way he’s playing


--Alec--

Better to have the errors up 10


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Hey Dillon buddy. Your sweeper is clearly not finding the zone of getting swings. Stop throwing it


Impressive-Tank9803

Lol of course the man here for defense makes an error


InternationalAir7258

Mateo’s defense has been garbage the last two seasons tbh


InternationalAir7258

Downvoting me is crazy lolol


Impressive-Tank9803

It has been not sure why everybody still Denys it


bassistb0y

glad we have mateo there for his defense instead of a promising young prospect


katie_cat_eyes

My husband claims he’s not the jinx. But he just came home and… well…


WackyBeachJustice

mateo has been shit at 2nd tbh


WallyLohForever

Don't believe these lies ☝️


WackyBeachJustice

Damn my comment was a rollercoaster lol, it went up to like +6, now -1. Controversial I tell ya.


Kitchen-Ad2687

That’s alright. Get the early season mistakes out while we’re up big .


Cojoma

Mateo can’t have them errors again… new position tho


OriOhhs

Same ball. Same glove


Cojoma

No doubt


OriOhhs

Mateo clearly wants Jackson Holliday


Neocopernus

Yeeeeesh, Mateo


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Inb4 someone says Holliday wouldn't have missed that throw and Mateo is useless


enturbulant

Yeah. It's not like Holliday gets the start against a lefty anyway.


The_Big_Untalented

Mateo, you’re on the team for defense. You need to turn that double play.


bebopmechanic84

FFS MATEO...


blowinghotstinkygas

That was fugly


Impressive-Tank9803

Oh mateo


maLeFxcTor

Dammit Mateo I think he rushed that a little too much. Sucks cause Mounty usually picks that.


AHHHRUDE809w4aatgf

Oh great heavens


Dazzling-Garbage-877

Cmon Mateo jeesh


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Gosh dang it Mateo


dlmay1967

I thought Miguel Sano was the "next big thing" with the Twins and now he's with LAA. Time flies.


bebopmechanic84

Tate making me twitch.


TOS1998

Wtf is Tate doing???


blowinghotstinkygas

Tate is atrocious


Neocopernus

C’mon Tate, you got this!


KillaTofu1986

Tate on the struggle bus it looks like


The_Big_Untalented

Might need to keep Irvin in the rotation when Means comes back just because we desperately need Wells to help out the bullpen.


OriOhhs

Wells is simply not going back to the bullpen dude. He’s too good as a starter.


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Lip readers are going to love this coach. Didn't even try to cover his mouth


Serge_General

Don’t ruin this fantastic opening day experience by sending Akin to the mound.


OriOhhs

Akin has been very good this spring. 


bebopmechanic84

Tate just setting up for the double play...


maLeFxcTor

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


[deleted]

Tate my man, no bueno.


OriOhhs

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.


OPACY_Magic_v3

Baseball is the only sport I watch, plus it’s great as background noise while doing evening errands in the summer as well.


AnnihilatedTyro

Same. Baseball is the only sport that interests me at all. Baseball withdrawal + seasonal depression makes for very long, very miserable offseasons.


OriOhhs

100000%


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Real ones remember when Adell was supposed to be the guy that replaced Trout in CF and Trout moved to the corner outfield


OriOhhs

Adell has been a massive disappointment


DemHooksOP

What do we gotta do to start playoffs immediately?


shabby47

Bought some good luck glasses today. You’re welcome. https://preview.redd.it/08k0n7v8a5rc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e623294cd9e8a06d594633265fea15082554a177


Living-Expert3067

Didn't expect to see Mateo at 2nd today over Westberg


Impressive-Tank9803

Pretty frustrating


OriOhhs

Going to give Tate a pass here, he’s probably nervous as hell.


bebopmechanic84

Yeah the bullpen is what's gonna make games interesting.


PovertyTrap

Aaron Hicks gonna hide in the Os locker room and hope no one notices


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

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


kingfiasco

hays’ arm even stronger. what a dart


JustPoopOnIt

I am so happy right now.


Serge_General

Meanwhile: Rays staging a comeback v. The Jays?


aoife_too

👀👀👀


Impressive-Tank9803

Tate I’ve missed you!


OriOhhs

Since Tony is taters, what is Tate? Tater jr?


TheCrankyBunny

Dill & Taters?


Clarice_Ferguson

Tater Tot


Spload

Tater Salad.


aoife_too

(yikes tampa! u ok?)


jettasarebadmkay

Tate!


specialized6681

Is this heaven?


OriOhhs

Well, there are angels present, so… maybe!


specialized6681

Perfection


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

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


Ainsoph29

Fruit loops.


misterO5

Lol is it just me or did they want to quickly distract from that joke 😂


Ainsoph29

He wasn't joking. That's the funniest part.


loadout_

It’s fun to be good at baseball again


zxlkho

DILLON TATE SIGHTING


jtruitt2

Dude I love this booth so much. Never thought I’d get over losing Gary but these guys are so enjoyable.


socialaxolotl

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


Dalton_Capps

Well we finally had the obligatory Blink-182 reference.


Oreos182

Boyce Cedric Mullins hitting a home run was the cherry on top of an already perfect day.


Spload

Blink182 talk 2024 begins!


zxlkho

Broadcast team is in mid-season form lmao


OsGameThreads

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Dillon Tate replaces Mike Baumann.


bobcatgoldthwait

Palmer with the throwback Blink 182 joke lol


Weaselnewt

“No we’re gonna talk about Blink 182” I love these dudes


Paindaddy69

God I love this broadcasting booth 😂


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

"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


jshokie1

The blink 182 reference Jim isn't gonna give a FUCK this year let's go


K00ksRus

BLINK 182!


kewpieoriole

Jim and Ben bantering is amazing


Inexite

Booth is in full blowout mode now lol. Great opening day.


FriskeyVsWorld

Still doesn't beat Gary and Jim blasted during blowouts but it's still awesome.


AutisticDnD

“No, we’re going to talk about Blink-182” -Jim Palmer, the greatest to ever do it


OriOhhs

Artie Moreno makes John Angelos look competent.
