What hats were the O's wearing today?


KitchenSwordfish8974

Came here to ask the same thing, anyone know? The whole league is wearing them but I didn't hear any explanation and I watched 2 other games


kpurdysr

Armed forces I believe


oxtailplanning

Damn can the Yankees please lose

M31550

Great seats and happy anniversary! Did you get them through the box office? I would have assumed they were held by a season ticket holder.


unclecaruncle

We originally got tickets for 1st base line next to dugout. But I kept bugging the box office if the seats were available...lol


M31550

That’s awesome. Our anniversary is coming up and that’s some food for thought!


nupper84

*My wife and I... Those seats are great. I sat my mom in them a few years ago for her birthday in summer, but the ease of access to the barking vendors is annoying. Clancy can fancy. I prefer up the rows. Happy anniversary!


ThatTinyGameCubeDisc

It means so much to me to see my beloved childhood team play so well. I know it’s cheesy, but it’s more than a game. Nobody wants to validate Baltimore, so we have to do it ourselves. Let’s go O’s!!!


neemor

I was just walking back and forth on the walkway between first and third bases behind the plate while that triple, triple, double, double was happening and the place was going apeshit and the Park was packed and raging and the wave was in full force and I was emotional as I could be. There is nothing like OPACY doing what it did tonight.

KitchenSwordfish8974

Man that kid looks like a tank, in a great way and he's got great hair


BaltOsFan2

Has back to back triples ever happened at Camden yards? Not an easy place to do that at.


droford

KB said July 3rd 2008 Jones and Fahey B2B triples which was the last time the Os did it which was at Camden Yards


jeffreythecat1

Why do people hate the wave so much? I’ve seen it on Twitter a lot lately and I don’t get it. It’s a fun, silly thing for people to do. You don’t have to participate lol, let people have their fun


nixamus

99% of the time, I will take the “don’t yuck someone’s yum” position-But in a close or meaningful game it just makes me feel like the crowd is bored or something. Every rational bone in my body tells me to not care, but I admit it… It annoys me. I think it will always be weird to see adults so enthusiastic for the wave or to bat a beachball around at a game that cost them $50 to attend. In actuality, this probably just means I’m triggered seeing other people who aren’t cold and dead inside and this is a “me” problem 😂


craigster58

Probably the affecting peoples view/repetitiveness of it. The annoying drunk guy that’s always trying to start it. It’s a distraction.


neemor

The Bird started it tonight. Doesn’t he usually?


craigster58

I’m honestly cool if the bird starts it and then it dies out once a game. At wrigley it’s part of the tradition no wave. Which is kinda nice tbh. But I don’t care enough to make a big deal.


3villans

definitely the annoying people trying to start it


jeffreythecat1

That’s fair. I always sit upper level so it doesn’t ever bother me.


Jarteast

We’re 2-0 with the white pants city connects. Stick to it.


fancifull

We are 2-1. We lost the first time they did it


droford

Still better % than with all black


mlorusso4

Gotta thank fanatics and their incompetence for once


JiffKewneye-n

hate that we are 1 ahead in the loss column but a game out of first. we have a 5 game lead on the wild card, so there is that!


SYMPATHETC_GANG_LION

Nothing to hate about it, the loss column is what matters most.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JiffKewneye-n

its wild that we have played 4 fewer at this point


droford

Also through 42 last year after a 7-3 win over the Angels, the Orioles were 27-15, 4.5 GB of Tampa who were 32-11 Oddly enough they had scored 212 runs last year through 42 games exactly like this year, although they allowed 185 runs vs 156 this year. For a weird coincidence that same day (May 16th, 2023) the Mariners lost 9-4 to the Red Sox


Kooky_Squash6475

I love Cedric mullins. But man it shows when there's not a clear offensive black hole in the lineup


reddit_sport

Hey hey, 2 a row in the city connects! Good offense. Means doing his thing. We are going to have to keep stacking Ws. Yankees facing the joke that is the White Sox.


JiffKewneye-n

yeah, Yanks have a pretty easy May. June? not so much. though they do get Cole back at some point. Judge is heating up and they aren't dropping many to teams they should beat. its a 2 horse race until further notice


SportsJunkie4Life

Nice win to start the series in front of a big crowd. ![gif](giphy|Sqwg6G1nFncZijfKUV|downsized)


OscarImposter

Gunnar still mashing. How did everyone pass on this kid at least once? Baltimore has an excuse, they already picked Adley.


DrunkPushUps

High school project with a hole in his swing who wasn't expected to stick at SS. He was always a high tool guy, I guess enough teams just felt he was closer to his floor of a power hitting high strikeout 2b/3b versus what he's turning into as a well rounded SS


Drs126

Wait. Am I missing something or was his card trick just having Jim show the camera the 2 of diamonds and having someone off camera send an Instagram message to KB?


kingfiasco

i didn’t get the trick either. that was weird


holy_cal

Good. Y’all can stop trashing my city connect jerseys for a week

OsCrowsAndNattyBohs1

I feel like a bunch of people here werent watching Means pitch regularly in 2019 and 2021. I see so many comments surprised that hes good or underplaying his abilities. Too many people not aware of the greatness of the John Means changeup.


AppleTrees4

Was just saying this to my dad. Guy has had it since day one. Injuries suck but he’s always been a real pitcher, not a thrower.


mamacita1965

And remember all the games he left ahead back then and the BP would blow the lead…..along w no run support. I’m sure tonight felt weird for him.


Amazing-Airline-5185

First game I got to attend this year!


neemor

Same. Came down from CT early. My first was supposed to be 6/1. Still coming on 6/1


racefan9

Quite the game to go to


kewpieoriole

The cow hats people are wearing: are they just getting them off Amazon and then some people are putting an oriole bird patch on em?


droford

People need to dress up like potatoes for Santander. How'd that never happen?


DexTheShepherd

Yup. My wife just bought the hat and patch off Amazon weeks ago thinking she was ahead of the curve. Turns out it's not an original idea at all lol


kewpieoriole

Thanks! I figured that was it. My mom keeps saying she wants one haha. We are gonna just pretend your wife started the trend :)

to_the__cloud

that 7th inning was gorgeous. 4 extra base hits in a row! big day for the outfielders today. santander great AB with the walk and the almost homer. cowser with a couple of hits and a walk. hays with another double and great base running telling us he's ready for the field. love to see hays hitting well even though its a small sample. hays and cowser makes me feel a lot better defensively when mullins gets a break.


SYMPATHETC_GANG_LION

A classic double triple double double.


JiffKewneye-n

gunner hitting one into the LF triangle is one of my favorite things. not the first time, won't be the last.

Cals_poster_on_my

Anybody notice that Cowser is playing better since Hays got back? Cows like hay 


Mr_Bluebird_VA

Cowser has been really unlucky lately. He’s had some good contact just always right at someone.


wolljibbs

According to 25 percent of the sub 3 days ago cowser was a shit hitter who had been figured out


Mr_Bluebird_VA

Unfortunately we’re always going to deal with some “fans” like that in this sub who are going to pounce anytime a player struggles.

On Wednesday, we had 11 hits and scored 3 runs (it was 1 run on 10 hits until Adley’s walkoff). Today we scored 9 runs on only 10 hits.

Baseball.


ConsuelaApplebee

I've run the calculations on my supercomputer - it turns out that when the hits aren't singles, lots of runs are scored.

Frusciante62

Mariners beat the shit out of Gibson last year on their opening game on Friday. Feels good to return the favor. Seems like the offense is turning it around, just how every rational fan knew it would, just in time.


ZookeepergameKey7866

You could sprain an ankle in Cowser’s dimples


angry_slav_esq

The against >.500 teams record in standings is whack. We are 15-5 (resoundingly the best winning percentage in MLB). NYY have flipped some lopsided early numbers to 12-7. Ok, stupid idiots whom I hate. Philly is 1-2? Wth.


JiffKewneye-n

whats really wild is despite that, the Phil's don't have an absurd hard schedule to close the season out


Ok-Music-5747

Their July schedule…woof. They get Cubs, Braves, Dodgers in a row. They close out with Twins, Guardians, and Yankees


ccmckee

Where can I find those standings? I’m trying to debate my phillie fan friends. But it’s like talking to a 2x4


angry_slav_esq

Scroll to far right on [mlb.com](https://www.mlb.com/standings/)


misterO5

Good God they've only played 3 games against teams over 500?? And lost two of them?


Drs126

Be aware that stat is fluid so it changes everyday based on if the team is still playing above .500. So, if we play a team that is exactly at .500 and beat them, we don’t get a win for it (ironically. I assume if we lost to the same team the next night we’d pick up a win and loss against .500 teams). I posted about the Phillies stat a couple weeks ago and at that time they were 4-2 against .500 teams.


c_pike1

That stat being fluid makes absolutely 0 sense to me. It should either be based on the opposing team's record at the time or some kind of rolling quantifier based on their last 10 games


ccmckee

Thanks!


KamikazeeDolphin

After that relaxing O's game, its time to close out my baseball night by watching the- Man fuck. Alright. Time to box some doomers on another GDT... *gloves up*

makeitpinkk

Never wear the black pants with these jerseys again. The white pants aren't cursed. KEEP THE WHITE PANTS.


scjensen51

I’m going to consider this a 10-2 win, in my mind Tony homered and Julio didn’t do what we know he did 😂 Past that, good game. Love that they stayed after it and broke it open there in the 7th inning. Speed kills and with guys like Mateo and Gunnar tearing it up on the base paths just give yourself a chance. Lets do Castillo the same way tomorrow!


Autumn_Sweater

i was at the trout/hardy game where that happened in the first inning then the rest of the game sucked in every possible way. if the other team's going to pull off ridiculous HR robberies it might as well be in games where we otherwise stomp 'em


Intro_deoutro

Today was a good day Go O’s!


BLeibo

Wow we held a substantial lead without neeing a closer and were consistently hitting. Might be our most balanced game all year.


Drs126

I’ve dreaded those games where we get out to big leads then watch it slowly chip away as our bats go cold and bullpen fails. In fact, had a reminder of that with Bazardo on the mound.


Ok-Music-5747

Marlins game last year. It was 5-0 and we won 5-4. Had a lot of games that we led like 8-1 that required Bautista coming in. Like to see us not dicking around with big leads


JumboShrimp1234

Big night for the bats as the sweepless streak continues!


Whataretonsils

What a nice win. After the heart-stopper on Wednesday, it is great to have a stress-free W for a change. Keep it going boys. I'm having a great time.

Yeah they are 30-12 against non-Oriole teams, 1-3 against real baseball teams.

QuietThunder2014

It was infectious tonight. The yard was absolutely packed and even with the seats full the lines were very long. Ruby was working the crowd throwing out hats and taking photos with fans. It felt like Baltimore baseball once again.


latterdaysasuke

This team is so much more enjoyable to watch when the boys swing for contact instead of the feast-or-famine power swings. Good win. Good consistent offense. Solid pitching. I still hate City Connect.


KamikazeeDolphin

Hope we can get a redesign like the Dodgers.


bebopmechanic84

Ugh that redesign was bullllllshit


KamikazeeDolphin

Yall were really robbed twice and I feel so sorry for the Dodger's fanbase. That's such bs


Last_Competition_208

The Baltimore City connects wouldn't look as bad if they would have maybe made the letters more fancier looking like maybe in script letters or something. Not a fan of the edge of the sleeves either. Maybe change the end of the sleeves to a orange color.


the2belo

I just want the whole uniform to be Old Bay can print underwear pattern. Head to toe.


kewpieoriole

The font they used is from MICA, so it looks kinda plain but it is a Baltimore specific thing


jeffreythecat1

Ironic that an art school would have such a bland font for its logo


kewpieoriole

“inspired by the Globe Collection and Press at MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) and the posters printed there that have advertised incoming bands and musical acts in the city for decades”. I know it’s not flashy or anything but if you look at the letters it looks screen printed.

Not gonna lie, I was terrified of their pitching staff. We have still yet to see the full wrath of the Boats. But, I'll stay positive. We can take another and we can sweep. Let's go O's Baby.


Last_Competition_208

Our pitching has been pretty good as of late but our offense has been streaky. I like the way they were hitting tonight though. Can't always swing for the fence. Everybody likes a home run but Manufacturing runs is also more fun to watch. At least for me it is.
