@ZFARM_ Relievers are so fickle, you never know when someone like Garcia will fall into your lap. Look at Bryan Baker, he's now the closer of the AL East leading Rays. Got his 11th save of the season in Toronto tonight.

Rico Garcia in 2026 0.47 ERA 3rd in the MLB 0.42 WHIP 1st in the MLB .018 BAA 1st in the MLB .195 OPSA 1st in the MLB The best reliever in Major League Baseball resides in Baltimore

@PigTownSports Doesn't matter, nobody on this team can hit lefties.

Orioles Ranks among Hitters 1-2 in Line up vs League Hits - 74 20th 2B - 20 6th HRs - 10 16th RBIs - 33 23rd BBs - 54 3rd Ks - 90 9th BA - .230 22nd OBP - .342 11th SLG . 391 17th OPS - .733 17th Should Os shuffle the top of the lineup?

@ThirstRoundPick Elias got fleeced by Tampa on the Baz trade. It's NEVER a good idea to make a deal with Rays as a division rival especially it involves one of their pitchers. Why would Rays trade a young pitcher like Baz within the division unless they knew something?

Mike Elias wanted to be the Rays so bad.....

@TheFullCountPod @iJordanMoore Look at the AL East standing right now and then speak again.

@iJordanMoore Serious question, what’s impressive about winning regular season games. But never being in championship contention. You play to win championships not win games with a cheap roster.

The Tampa Bay Rays are 26-13, the best record in the AL. Their payroll ranks bottom 3 in MLB at $87 million. Their highest-paid player is Yandy Díaz ($12M). Every year they find a way to compete with teams spending 3x as much. One of the most impressive organizations in sports.

@KenWeinmanSport This game is over already after the Rice homer. Yanks picked Ben Rice with the 363rd pick of the 2021 draft. BTW Cowser was the 5th pick of that draft.

Another quality Tyler O’Neill at bat

@jcalvinmeyer Just a friendly reminder that Ben Rice was the 363th player picked in the 2021 draft, 358 players after O's picked Cowser.

Brandon Young gives up a two-run homer to Ben Rice in the third inning. Orioles trail 2-0.

@Alex_1228__ I don't mind not signing Cease. The much bigger mistake was not going harder after Max Fried the year before.

Still can’t believe the Orioles settled with Baz & Bassitt

@zachbollinger18 @nonfungiblecuck Like who, Ramon Urias??

@nonfungiblecuck So we can add a below average regressing bat for over $100 mil who will be on the books until he’s 38? Yeah… I’ll pass. Better options out there.

Seen so many people say Baltimore should call San Fransisco about Matt Chapman and I just gotta simply ask… Why?

@nikschnake @zachbollinger18 Like who?

@zachbollinger18 I understand wanting a defensive upgrade at third but there are definitely cheaper options out there

@zachbollinger18 Because he's a competent 3B defensively.

@OriolesParade Doesn't matter as long as Elias won't be making the pick.

The tank was never off. Who are we getting with the 1.1?

@afkostka Rays who have won 14 out of their 16 and are currently leading the division have given up more than 3 runs in game ONCE during the stretch, 4 runs on Thursday in Boston.

The Orioles have allowed three or more runs in 25 straight games, which is their longest streak of doing that since 2019

This is just another example of why it's usually not a good idea to make deals with Rays when it involves one of their pitchers. Why would they trade a young pitcher like Baz to one of their division rivals? Elias gave up 4 prospects for a below average SP. Maybe he should've drafted a couple of pitchers instead of Cowser or Kjerstad.

Shane Baz was given a 5-year, $68 million contract extension prior to the season I am very unsure why this is where the Orioles chose to spend that money.

@ExhibitIs @BradFromFlorida @DanClarkSports Kjerstad is a BUST.

@BradFromFlorida @DanClarkSports Kjerstad has a head injury that he’s just not gonna recover fully from. Cowser needs to figure out hitting fast or he’ll be out in a couple of years. Rutschman is an every day player that they’re bubble wrapping for some reason. Holliday has plenty of time. Beavers will be fine.

My goodness, the Orioles really have wasted an entire decade's worth of first round draft picks... Bust, after bust, after bust, after bust, with a very light sprinkling of mediocrity. That's it. Absolutely pathetic.

@Alex_1228__ I have a feeling you were all for dumping Adley last year.

Anyone else really down on Gunnar currently? I’d extend Adley over him

@MikeFerrara33 @jcalvinmeyer You're a dumb fuck, it's the manager who called the bunt play.

@jcalvinmeyer This team will never win with Gunnar at SS. They need to move him back to 3b and get a defensive SS. Gunnar is a Liability there. 2023 they won 100 games with Gunnar at 3rd

Kyle Bradish's three-run inning should have been a clean inning. The Orioles' infield assumes Zack Gelof is going to bunt, and Gunnar Henderson starts running to third. Instead, Gelof swings away, and his grounder right where Henderson was standing goes for an RBI single.

@boogsenthusiast @ajbirdland @kylegoon He has NEVER been a good defensive 3B at any level. He's not gonna play 1B regularly for the next few years as long as Everyday Pete stays healthy. Either he'll have to hit enough homers to stay in the lineup and/or he'll have to learn to play RF.

@chokers_whiners @ajbirdland @kylegoon Maybe spending all of last year telling him he’s a 1B not a 3B then signing a 1B then yanking him back to 3B and anointing him the 3B for this year after telling him he’s not good enough and giving him 0 reps there for a year? lol

Ton of respect for Coby’s effort and how he’s tried to approach this challenge. But the Orioles have known since last season he’s not a big league third baseman. He’s in a tough spot, and the team has left him there too long.

@WalterMaselli1 Heard this morning on the Big Bad Morning show that he has yet to even put his bat on a change-up this season.

Needs to be studied

@ajbirdland @kylegoon How? He has NEVER been much of a 3B defensively and he has always had the throwing problem. Which is why they worked him at 1B and RF. At some point it's no longer a coaching problem. He just SUCKS at throwing.

@kylegoon I agree. Not his fault, the team has failed him in a big big way

@MattCarlson18 @kylegoon He had the same problem in the minors so this is nothing new. At some point it's no longer a coaching problem. The player has to work at it and get better.

@kylegoon His errors are mostly in throwing and there is an obvious reason why. There is no reason why this has not been fixed in his career. I cannot understand. 🤯
