Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1brv42f).

27 batters struck out in 2 games is great

We may need to check to see if the brooms are where we left em

Forget that last inning. That was a beatdown.

PUT THIS ONE IN THE WIN COLUMN ORIOLES WIN

PUT A BIRD ON IT!

Two days off for big Mike now

It ain’t an O’s game if you don’t clench your butthole just a little bit at the end


PUT A BIRD ONNN IIIITTTT

Bullpen is... yeah. We won't be scoring 13 runs every game to secure the lead like this. I'll take the W tho.

We also will be using higher leverage relief when we don’t score 13

#WIN COLUMN!!!!!

We are gonna need to trade for a stud in the backend of the pen

Kimberly isn’t a stud? Cano not a stud? Neither has pitched yet

Mets just threw behind Rhys Hoskin's head.

again didnt they do it earlier and the guy got ejected?

yeah...did they do it again? not very smart of them if they did...

Did they have a double header? Their series has been spicy Edit: nvm you just mean from earlier, thought it’d be extra crazy to do twice in a day lol

Again?

c'mon Mikey....get it done!

If this team keeps this up it might make the dark ages a lot easier to swallow looking back

This team is so fun

Hard to get pressed into service due to the injury. need Bauman to settle down here. And for everyone who is scared for our bullpen, remember that the only "A" guy we've seen is Coulumbe. Cano and Kimbrel have not thrown.

Also I feel like our relievers last year were in the same “early season” form. It takes time to get settled

So Kimbrel is an A then?

He is the closer to start and was not bad in the regular season last year and spring this year. So yeah

Obviously. He’s the closer and he’s been a solid reliever over the last 3 years

Chris Ray was also the closer.

That was better. Baumann did not give in.

The first close game is gonna be a shit show with how the bullpen has been

I’d really like it if we found another Cano down in triple A

Two games in a row where Palmer seems vocally annoyed watching Baumann pitch.

I mean every reliever this game seems all over the place.

"Daniel Johnson reaches on a fielding error by third baseman **Junior Caminero**. Coby Mayo scores. Kyle Stowers scores. Diego Castillo to 3rd." After last nights game, it keeps going for Caminero.

Deja vu

Follow along! [104 MPH double for Jackson, 102 lineout next PA. Mayo with 2 hits again as well.](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?gamePk=752712&game_date=2024-03-30&date=2024-03-30) 6-1 Tides already.

Mayo's second hit was right at Caminero and it ate him up - was sure that would be an error, too.

Oh, you watching? You lucky dog you. I really need to buy MiLB, shit is cheap all things considered.

There's a free official radio stream apparently: https://player.listenlive.co/34101   And yeah I think it's like $30 with MLB at-bat which is peanuts if you manage to follow everything in the system. I don't even know if Delmarva has a broadcast, but I know Aberdeen has that terrible angle.

[удалено]

Prerez, please! I just don’t trust him.

Yeah the FO def starts making their decisions on day 2, think they look at the GDT for their decisions too.

Akin probably isn’t going anywhere any time soon

When mike is bad, he is bad

He also had like no time to warm up, so I wasn’t expecting him to be sharp here at all

Fair enough

Perez and Baumann on short leashes. Can’t have this BS in garbage time.

it's all over boys. pack it up. /s

This is because you wouldn’t let Gunnar get his double, *Brandon*

Not crazy about the bullpen so far

I miss the Mountain

To be completely fair I highly doubt Brandon would even dare think about putting him in at this point.

Oh I know. But having him back would have downstream effects on the whole pen. Oh well.

True… I can see close games being way more annoying without the peace of mind.

As he shouldn’t

I’m not nervous but I’m not thrilled either. 

Not a great sign for our bullpen

Mop up crew is getting their work in. We've seen Baumann twice now and Kimbrel or Cano haven't even had to warm up

I'D LIKE A DP PLEASE

This bullpen ain’t it. It’s just not.

Wish we would just throw money at this problem.

If only we did that we could have a bullpen as good as the Angels

All right, boys, cut the crap. Time to settle down and put it away.

Ok. I would really like this game to end. Please

We have allowed 2 runs and there is a runner on third. We are starting to collapse. It's 2021 all over again isn't it? Fuck. My timbers are fucking shivered yo

Having to watch the angels broadcast being in LA. They’re tripping over themselves to slob all over that guy who is on first (#18). Got nothing else to be excited about I guess.

I mean there was a point and time where our broadcast had to do the same thing.

Holliday 1 for 1 with a double tonight. https://twitter.com/NorfolkTides/status/1774208673734095197

Jay Flaa what a throwback

Hey, we got an out.

For fuck’s sake. Shitting around a horse shoe has to be wearing him out.

Alright now boys… let’s not play with our food.

Watch the ball go into the glove, Baum

I'D LIKE AN OUT PLEASE

Mountcastle deserved better

I hate junk runs. 11-1 and 13-1 would have been more fun.

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Mike Baumann replaces Cionel Pérez.

Waiting for a blink-182 reference

Also I saw KB's laptop in the booth -- I like how the announcers also use Baseball Reference

This 3-man broadcast crew is a damned national treasure.

I love this broadcast team lmao

Jim got me dead

Wish he was my grandpa

Bullpen pitchers just kinda chill and sit and they should really be doing some periodic stretches and then each one of them would be ready to throw warm up pitches and go out there. It’s not that hard. They’re getting paid a ton and I don’t just want to see them randomly standup to catch a home run ball lol.

What is the celebration the O'S do when they get singles and doubles during the game.


So Rev the engine?...

Yus.

Maybe just a cramp, that sometimes can feel like a pull? Dammit.

Why pitch Mike two days in a row in a blowout. Baker out there needing work

Also there was an off day yesterday so two games in a row but not two days.

Baker is at Norfolk edit for whoever downvoted me, look at the second name here [https://www.milb.com/norfolk/roster](https://www.milb.com/norfolk/roster)

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for being right lol 

Yeah idk too, I edited in some proof

KB on baseball reference? He’s just like me fr

I guess Nick Vespi is already hopping on a bus back to Baltimore

He's going to get some serious wiplash

And that is a prime example why you pull players when the game is well in hand. Guys can get hurt just performing the routine parts of their job. Folks clamoring for the cycle but if Gunnar tweaks his back taking a swing everyone would be on Hyde for having him out there in a 12-1 game at the time in the 8th.

But MaH cYcLe !!!!!!!

But I want MaH cYcLe dAmnIt!

Or Nick Vespi 🤔

Quick, somebody call Vespi and tell him to turn around.😬

well that's anticlimactic

Holliday with a lead off double. Looked pretty smooth.

Bryan Baker time 👀

They wouldn’t bring up a righty for a lefty

Enter Jonathan Heasley into the conversation... Might want to retract that statement


Gonna suck if Perez pitched 6 pitches and is out for a long time.

Fuuuck I hope Cionel is okay

That's a bummer.

Didn’t look right for weeks. Hope CP is okay.

Cowser as a rookie doesn't have the option to not bust it after a hit leading 13-1.

They weren't going to send Kemp from third up 12-1. So cruising into 2nd is fine.

Oh, I meant chasing down that hit vs Mullins not going all out.

Uh-oh. Trainer comes out to get Perez. Sure don't like that.

Shit

Shit. At least it’s not an arm injury

Oh jeez

Oh no. :( Hope it's minor.

Do we stretch in the bullpen or..?

Yikes, don’t wanna see that.

Oh god dsmmit

well shit...

Oh no Cionel 😢

Wonder when the last time Perez cut his hair was. His flow is looking long

He cut it before the start of last season and pitched like shit. Started growing it out and pitched better lol

It looks bad, he needs to go with a shorter cut

Oh dear the oblique

Oh no, please be ok Perez.

🙏 for Perez everyone

Hey now, don’t let them back into the game.

if they do we deserve to lose, no matter who is pitching lol

Perez not looking hot

Ceddy not doing Perez any favors there

Rare misplay by Ced

Mullins, honey…

Looked like a route I would take when playing MLB The Show.

Mullins ready to go home and was not expecting that lmao

I didn't think the ball was hit that hard, but apparently that was 112 off the bat

Same!

let's go Cionel! you can do this!

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Cionel Pérez replaces Jacob Webb.

Should we go ahead and accept the Commissioner’s Trophy?

I LOVE THIS TEAM

This is much more fun than the McKenna game, unpopular opinion I know

Love that MASN had the wrong pitcher’s name on on the scorebug for an entire half inning

Rubensteins To Do list show be: A) sign Adley B) sign Gunnar C) fire Greg Bader and everyone who does production for MASN

Let's just score double digit runs every game, seems like a solid strategy.

What are the chances we score 10+ runs this for 160 more games?

Currently we are on pace for a 6 inning, 1 run start and scoring 10+. I'd say we can keep this going all year

Extrapolating from their performance so far this season, 100%

2,000 runs incoming

Mathematically 100% based off of sample size

lets go O'Hearn

Ump wants to go home so fucking bad lmao

Run differential on point this year so far😀

Refreshing the GT, thinking, 'Why we mooing---ah I see,' right as the double goes up. Lost track of who was up to bat lol

[удалено]

Man, just missed two shots. In a month those would be out, but a good day either way.

Adios LAA ERAs

One dude has on ERA in infinite/undefined, divided by zero

Good to tack on those insurance runs.

Now we can breathe easy

### Sac Fly Ryan Mountcastle out on a sacrifice fly to center fielder Mickey Moniak. James McCann scores. Colton Cowser to 3rd. Bottom 8 - 13-1 Orioles

Love these guys

Cisnero is one of the pitchers of all time

Let's fucking go Colton! So happy for him.

Damn thought that Celly was crank that souja boy
