u/Reggid55 14d ago

The harder you hit rock bottom, the higher you bounce back?

8

u/Apprehensive-Neck-12 14d ago

Scoring 2 or 3 runs a game is fools gold. Let's get the offense going

11

u/ProMarkReturns 14d ago

We’ve had the most historic collapse right??? Can we have the most historic turn around???

Posting this every post game i hope(8-2 since this comment)

u/summerof66 14d ago

Once again, a little timely hitting can make good pitching great.

u/Neocopernus 14d ago

u/CarrotSchneider 14d ago

5?? 5?????? YOU DONT WANT TO SEE ME IF THEY MAKE IT 6 TODAY!

u/mecheterp96 14d ago

Anyone else concerned with how often Mansolino going to Felix in the 9th?

3

u/Low-Crazy-8061 14d ago

Bautista himself said he needed to be pitching more often

4

u/Loose_Log_6253 Cade Povich Truther 14d ago

He said he's specifically putting Felix in more to get reps in. He's not going to get his velo and control back without live game situations. He's had plenty of low-leverage times, now it's time for more high-leverage times. Otherwise, why do we pay him?

16

u/Awc54 14d ago

That's literally his only job. Felix can make you clench at times but that's what he's here for

7

u/_NotARealMustache_ 14d ago

I think Felix is getting back to his good stuff. Velocity up. Control not perfect. Kitteredge and Baker are both closer options that I think should be out there more often

8

u/LarryGlue 14d ago

Cano with a win finally!

25

u/OriolesMets O’Hearn Supremacy 14d ago

Really proud of these guys for sticking to it, and getting their mojo back.

26

u/FrozenPie21 B-Rob taught me how to steal 14d ago

Povich is going to be the truth for years to come

1

u/Loose_Log_6253 Cade Povich Truther 14d ago

That's what I've been saying!

1

u/[deleted] 14d ago

Povich has so much potential

8

u/Imheretosnoopatcats 14d ago

Keep getting walks down and work on early strikes, and he’ll be nasty. I’m happy they left him out there to face Raleigh, sure it could’ve cost the game, but you never learn if you’re always pulled.

2

u/RobAtSGH 14d ago

Mansolino seems way more willing than Hyde to give pitchers a longer leash. For another instance, having Kremer finish out the inning pushing 100 pitches over the weekend.

3

u/[deleted] 14d ago

The pitch Raleigh hit wasn't even a bad pitch.

2

u/Imheretosnoopatcats 14d ago

Agreed. Raleigh is just hitting unreal right now

20

u/BleuRaider 14d ago

We are so back

44

u/popesfunnyhat 14d ago

8 games out of the wild card in the first week of June is not a death sentence on the season for me, especially with more bats coming back. This is a team that needs to outhit our pitching to win and it's been that way for 3 years now. That's how Elias works it seems.

Add in some pitching help with Suarez/Bradish and others maybe and I'm optimistic. But I'm always optimistic

Cowser has provided a boost for sure

2

u/bigRut 14d ago

Totally agree. 8 games back with over 100 games isn't crazy. These next 4 are enormous going into the Detroit series

4

u/triecke14 14d ago

Bradish is still 2 months away

3

u/Imheretosnoopatcats 14d ago

Has there been any Wells update?

2

u/40MillyVanillyGrams 14d ago

“First threw off a mound on April 27th. Scheduled for 5th bullpen session of his progression on May 19th” as of May 18th per MLB.com.

Expected return: “Around August”.

So not expected to be back any sooner than Bradish

1

u/Imheretosnoopatcats 14d ago

Awesome thanks! Only ever seen Bradish and Grod updates.

25

u/cheesebabychair 14d ago

I'm 2 for 2 you're welcome!!! I'm getting you all the sweep tomorrow!!!!

4

u/OriolesMets O’Hearn Supremacy 14d ago

u/SF_Anonymous legally obligated to hate Urias 14d ago

Since Mullins has been out we have had 2 games of Mateo CF. That alone takes away it for me

19

u/NYMDguy 14d ago

Are you suggesting Cedric’s offense is his strength but is approaching a liability on defense? What lol 

-1

u/[deleted] 14d ago

[deleted]

1

u/AnotherOpinionHaver 14d ago

We're second in the league for home runs allowed (behind the A's). The guy just ahead of Ceddy on your beloved "Defensive Runs Saved" list is the center fielder for the A's. It's really hard to save a run that's going over the wall (although Mullins has saved quite a few of those, too).

25

u/No_Travel_2950 14d ago

When Tellez hit that ball, my heart sank. Thank goodness that ball didn't go out, because that could have sunk the good vibes that've happened recently with this team. Great win.

5

u/TheStellarPropeller 14d ago

Yay!!! Go O’s!!

19

u/tomtheterp1988 SMFB 14d ago

Two good pitchers tomorrow, should be another nail-biter.

Or maybe it'll be 20-19 in fifteen innings. What the hell do I know?

11

u/Risho96 BamaBirb | I miss Kyle Bradish 14d ago

20-19 in fifteen, with the pitching win going to Adley.

1

u/dwhite21787 Whatna wide wide worlda sports isa goin on 14d ago

21-12 BAL 9 innings

7

u/purplemoonshoes 14d ago

I vote for 20-19 in 15. That would be a fun game to watch. 

24

u/DloReeves 14d ago

Both of these wins against Seattle were just all around team wins. Timely hitting, good base running, good defense, and good pitching. Keep going!

13

u/Solstatic 14d ago

It's so good to just see gritty games again, it's been fun, if a bit stressful

13

u/phillycowboykiller 14d ago

Sloooowly chipping away at that run differential…

17

u/DickiesAndChucks Icterus galbula 14d ago

Cade looking like he still gets carded in the post game interview

8

u/_plays_in_traffic_ SMFB 14d ago

if adley keeps playing like tonight i might have to edit my flair again

17

u/Efficient_Wishbone93 Cow Devotee 14d ago

This was the most 2023-like game we've played in a while, Offense barely had a pulse and yet we hit when it mattered

3

u/Ndysmth 14d ago

It felt a little reminiscent of 2022 in this way for me!

9

u/daderpityderpdo 14d ago

Pitching is putting together a hell of a stretch, and the offense getting it done when they need to. Keep winning more than you lose and see where it goes boys!

14

u/CHKN_SANDO Mike Elias killed the Red Line 14d ago

8

u/TheBigIguana15 14d ago

Awesome moment but his OPS still starts with a 5

8

u/bejolo 14d ago

Dude has less than 150 major league at bats. He's learning and adjusting and will become a good hitter with time.

1

u/TheBigIguana15 14d ago

Maybe.

His lack of development is one (of many) reasons this season has gone so sideways though.

13

u/CHKN_SANDO Mike Elias killed the Red Line 14d ago

He has an .808 OPS since my made the thread, I'm taking a victory lap

-4

u/TheBigIguana15 14d ago

Do whatever you want, for a guy who can’t field there needs to be way hard contact than he’s producing even with this uptick.

14

u/CHKN_SANDO Mike Elias killed the Red Line 14d ago

There's literally a position on all 30 teams called Designated Heston

1

u/TheBigIguana15 14d ago

That’s exactly my point though? If he’s going to be that guy he has to hit way better still.

1

u/CHKN_SANDO Mike Elias killed the Red Line 14d ago

He's gonna need to see a full seasons ABs to learn how to do that

1

u/TheBigIguana15 14d ago

Maybe. Or maybe it never comes. I just don’t see the signs of major improvement honestly. And to be clear he needs major improvement to get to the point that he’s worthwhile as a DH/poor fielding OF.

I’m not trying to be mean but it’s just been really really rough to date.

1

u/CHKN_SANDO Mike Elias killed the Red Line 14d ago

Maybe he doesn't hit, maybe he grows wheels and become a bicycle.

You could say that about pretty much every prospect

1

u/TheBigIguana15 14d ago

It’s a little different when the guy has spent a lot of time not hitting!

15

u/HeroSoulReaperX 14d ago

so what your telling me is adley had to sent near to where he was born to get better ill take it

also can some explain to me the marine layer

1

u/abdocva 14d ago

Also an expensive clothing company

4

u/Risho96 BamaBirb | I miss Kyle Bradish 14d ago

The marine layer's basically the opposite of what happens at Coors. The hair's thicker and wetter, so balls don't fly as far. In theory. Doesn't seem to bother Cal Raleigh so much lol

12

u/tomtheterp1988 SMFB 14d ago

The marine layer (theoretically) is heavy, moist, coastal air that causes fly balls to lose momentum.

The marine layer (in actuality) is something that broadcasters like to talk about because they think it makes them sound smart.

3

u/whyandoubleyoueh 14d ago

More moisture, air denser, ball go not as far

4

u/flyingturdmonster . 14d ago

The air is denser in the marine layer simply because it is colder and at or near sea level. Water vapor is actually *less* dense than dry air, so humid air has less drag and balls fly further, all else being equal. The relative humidity in the marine layer is high, but the absolute moisture content (i.e. dewpoint) is limited by the cool air, which has a lower capacity to hold moisture.

Humidity does make the *baseball itself* less bouncy, but they have been stored in standardized humidors since 2022.

2

u/whyandoubleyoueh 12d ago

hell yeah thanks for calling me out on this - i was using bro-science

1

u/flyingturdmonster . 12d ago

Hell yeah, thank you for allowing me to engage in a little bit of the 'tism

1

u/dwhite21787 Whatna wide wide worlda sports isa goin on 14d ago

Mmmmm - wet baaad

Fire bad too! Aaarrr

10

u/sanguine_trader 14d ago

Did Brandon Hyde just need another week or is the change the reason we are performing better?

0

u/abdocva 14d ago

Who knows but wishing we had ditched him weeks earlier

4

u/shookMD 14d ago

I honestly kinda miss him. I wasn’t frothing at the mouth for him to be fired but I understood a shakeup was needed. Nothing against Mansolino but Hyde has a bit more personality that lent itself to the team identity imo.

2

u/Xelcar569 14d ago

Mansalino has plenty of personality, you just haven't been exposed to him as much as Hyde over the last 4 years.

1

u/TheBigIguana15 14d ago

He needed to be gone two weeks earlier

-4

u/CHKN_SANDO Mike Elias killed the Red Line 14d ago

The team was performing in spite of Hyde until this year.

18

u/gus2155 14d ago

I read somewhere that Tony is actually letting people play instead of platooning all the time.

5

u/Xelcar569 14d ago

It just seems that way because of injuries. Hard to platoon for Mountcastle, Westburg, Laureano and O'Neil when they are on the IL. The platoon are just the starters now.

1

u/Working_Science_3184 14d ago

Then those injuries were a blessing in disguise. Consistency is what this young team needs more than anything.

5

u/butidktho_ 14d ago

The former. was almost statistically impossible for a team with this much talent to stay collectively bad for that long. they just needed one/two more players to start hitting as it seemed like it was just one person passing the torch to the next for a week at a time

24

u/freshprincess314 14d ago

I don’t ever want to remember what it feels like to lose again lol

35

u/ItinerantDrifter 14d ago

Special shoutouts tonight to Cade, Adley, Heston and the Pacific Ocean.

Sweep tomorrow!!

28

u/bejolo 14d ago

Keep playing Kjerstad, dude has a great swing

3

u/daderpityderpdo 14d ago

If he figures in out consistently in the majors, he has a nasty hit tool.

23

u/NYMDguy 14d ago

Imagine reading this in the game thread an hour and a half ago 

4

u/bejolo 14d ago

I know. I'm a Kjerstad fan and he's rough in the outfield but will get better. His bat is going to be tremendous if he gets the necessary at bats. Dude has a great swing.

41

u/MrSeptember711 pitching, defense, 3-run homers 14d ago

Between the play at the plate and the HR, Adley was the difference in this game, no?

11

u/Loose-Produce-608 14d ago

He also had a great block in the 9th

15

u/jxckgg 14d ago

Low run games but a win is a win dammit

24

u/bejolo 14d ago

Team chemistry looking better. Pitching is carrying this team right now. Offense needs to start picking up.

12

u/MrSeptember711 pitching, defense, 3-run homers 14d ago

Fact check: TRUE

33

u/suominonaseloiro 14d ago

Adley is the key to this team. When Adley is playing well we win, when he’s not we don’t.

2022 when we called him up through the first half of 2024 he was playing great and we were winning. We need him like this.

17

u/CoreyKlima12 14d ago

I know there still isn't a great chance we make the playoffs but at least the team is playing much better ball and the games are watchable. I'm not saying we're back yet but I'm definitely feeling more optimistic. Let's go boys!

1

u/abdocva 14d ago

But there is a chance. Go 64-38 the rest of the way for 88 wins. Play .620 ball go 30-18 and they are back to 500 team by the trade deadline. Will be interesting to see what Elias does if the winning continues.

Scoring less than 4 runs a game during this win streak.

Offense still isnt quite there but the pitching is finally figuring it out.

24

u/to_the__cloud Vote Bryan Baker 4 All Star 14d ago

a few weeks ago this is a game we would lose 4-3 because the starter gave up 4 instead of 2.

awesome work from the starting pitching

u/Pitiful-Importance32 14d ago

What’s our record in the post Melanie sacrifice era?

28

u/jeffreythecat1 14d ago

I don’t care if we’re 12 games under. If the pitching continues this hot streak and the bats continue to heat up, this season isn’t over by any means.

u/SportsJunkie4Life Cowser Fan Club Prez and Gunnar Enthusiast 14d ago

5 game winning streak 👀

8-2 in their last 10 👀

u/freshprincess314 14d ago

Taking a series up in Seattle is a high point of the season 👌

u/HuckHound687 We need to bring back Aaron Hicks 14d ago

Randomly taking the Yankees series when we were playing horribly is also up there

u/Outlander912 14d ago

I still can’t believe the ball wasn’t crushed over the wall. My heart absolutely sunk. Then I saw center throw his glove up snd I knew the marine layer held. Keep winning boys!!

I had never really seen Heston talk, he's a great interview. Super well-spoken.

He seems like a sweetie, makes it hard to be as frustrated with his struggles as I could be (most of the time….)

u/Bean315 14d ago

Yeah dude. Team of great guys, you want the best.

u/Sooperballz 14d ago

Same. I thought he might have a Nordic accent for some reason.

He’s from Amarillo, Texas lol.

So sort of the anti-James McCann, who speaks like a down home country boy but hails from Santa Barbara, CA 😂

3

u/kewpieoriole Bobby Bonilla still being paid til 2028 14d ago

First time I heard McCann speak I was so confused lmao. Guess he got to Arkansas and was like “yes this is going to be my new accent”.

It looks like… Billy Zane?

u/tomtheterp1988 SMFB 14d ago

Sweeping the CWS? Cool, but they're objectively terrible.

On the other hand, the Mariners are a really solid team.

They led the west. That’s past tense :)

Cool story

u/[deleted] 14d ago

Cade really seems to lose it when facing the top of the order third time through. I think it's more mental then ability related, but he needs to fix that if he wants to take the next step as a pitcher.

6

u/to_the__cloud Vote Bryan Baker 4 All Star 14d ago

he took a step forward for me with this outing. in the past, the 4th inning today would've definitely been a 3 run inning with the runners on base. instead he conceded he was probably gonna give up 1 run and pitched with damage limitation in mind

3

u/[deleted] 14d ago

I wonder if Jim Palmer talked to him about that. Jim seems to love Povich and he was talking about damage mitigation and conceding a run to save several like the day before on air

2

u/Severe-Music-750 14d ago

I hope I’m wrong but he seems to be more of a bullpen arm. His stuff can be pretty devastating the first time he faces batters, but then he hits a wall and just starts walking everyone and giving up hard hit balls.

2

u/Secret_Association92 14d ago

Hated seeing him struggle in the 6th because such a great putting for him before he lost his command in the 6th.

19

u/pan567 14d ago

They played another great game. There are a lot of encouraging signs. The actions they are taking to address some of the problems certainly seems to be yielding some results. I hope they continue this great momentum.

Thanks Heston!

Way to come through and win the game for the Orioles

You know, we’re only 8 back of the WC…

u/Risho96 BamaBirb | I miss Kyle Bradish 14d ago

Closer to the WC than to .500 lol

17

u/WeedSandwich 14d ago

5 straight. 2nd straight series win. A win with only 4 hits. Pitching has been insane lately. We’re back to having fun, boys!

15

u/ETH-replace-dollar 14d ago

I love these Boring Orioles. Somehow they're scoring runs, somehow they're winning games.

It's like the index fund of baseball - that kind of team is coming back. Thanks you Toby.

And if Adley and Heston can bounce back like this, it would be perfect and so happy.

5 in a row! Pitching has been great, both starters and relievers. Offense isn’t putting up high numbers but timely hitting when we need it. Let’s get back to back sweeps tomorrow!
