I don’t care if I never get back. Let me root root for the home team. If they don’t win, it’s a shame. For it’s one, two, three strikes. You’re out at the old ball game. Katy Casey saw all the games, knew the players by their first names, told the umpire he was wrong all along, good and strong. When the score was just two to two, Casey Casey knew what to do. just to cheer up the boys she knew. She made the gang sing this song. Please take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and crack a jack. I don’t care if I never get back. Let me brew root brute for the home team. If they don’t win, it’s a shame for it’s one two three strikes. You’re out at the old ball game. Greetings, folks, and welcome to live coverage of Orioles baseball where this afternoon the Baltimore Orioles will be wrapping up a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners here at Oriel Park at Camden Yards. How you doing everybody? It’s your old pal, the bird watcher, here. People call me BW for short. And folks, if you are here right now and in the Charm City chat, say hello. It is a little bit concerning when the chat is completely empty. It’s nice to see a little bit of chatter when the stream starts. It lets me know that everything’s working. Uh, somebody say hello. hopefully soon. Anyway, uh we’ve got a final game here today. Hey, there’s a person. Hello, book doc. Uh thanks for being here. Today, uh the Orioles are going to play a rubber game after winning last night in somewhat uh unexpected fashion. uh kind of a win out of nowhere kind of a how the hell did we win that kind of a game. Uh we haven’t had a whole lot of those this season. Usually we’re trying to figure out uh you know where we went wrong, but uh Trevor Rogers puts in another brilliant performance. Uh he is uh putting together an historic season at this point. Uh, one can only uh imagine how much more exciting it would be on a uh national level uh if he had started this season in the rotation pitching the way that he has. Uh it’s only been a lack of, you know, additional starts to match those who have been starting since, you know, opening day. That doesn’t have Trevor Rogers in the Sai Young award conversation right now. He is pitching like a guy that should be in the conversation. And the Orioles with a two-run walk-off double. Oh, no, it wasn’t a two-run. It was just a one run, but it was a walk-off double by uh Jackson Holiday last night. The first walk-off hit for Holiday in his young career and the first walk-off win for the Orioles as a team this season. Uh we are the last team to finally do it this year. Uh took a long time, but uh we did it in style. Uh we got uh a big hit off of Matt Brash, tough reliever for the Mariners, and Seattle had also won eight straight ball games uh before we walked them off last night. So, it was a nice uh nice uh ending to a ball game that uh for the first couple of hours uh felt like more of the usual, which was a lack of offense while watching a pitcher uh you know, put up a pretty good performance without any run support. The support finally came. It came late. It came uh in walk-off fashion. It was nice. All right. So, today, game three, uh the Mariners will leave town and so will we. We’ll be heading down to Houston, hopping on a plane after this afternoon ball game, going down to Houston, uh for the weekend. The match up on the mound today, this uh rubber game, it’s Tomyuki Sagano for Baltimore. He has a record of 9 and5, a 424 erra, and a 131 whip. He’ll be uh facing Logan Evans of the Mariners, a right-hander. Uh he is not one of the big arms in this Mariner rotation. So, this is probably their number five starter. This is the guy that uh you want to get to. In fact, the Orioles, according to ESPN, are favored to win this ball game. So, how about that? Sigano against Evans. Evans with a record of 6 and436 ERA and 74 and a third innings. Uh, the numbers I’m looking at here, he’s not much of a strikeout pitcher. I mean, more so than Sagano is, but that’s not saying much. Uh, and yeah, he gives up uh a decent amount of base runners with that 139 whip. 13 home runs in 74 innings. Yeah, that’s about what, one per six, something like that. That’s not too shabby. There’s ways to get to this guy. All right, let’s take a look at the lineups here. Let’s see what’s happening after last night’s walkoff. I got to walk on. All right. For the visiting Mariners. Where’d it go? Where’s the lineup? Let me hit refresh. Let me hit refresh. Are you there? There you are. Randy Rosarena will lead off and play in left field for the Mariners. Josh Naylor now hitting second today. Playing at first base, Julio Rodriguez will hit third and play center field. Jorge Palano, the cleanup hitter today in DH. Aho Suarez will be the number five hitter at third base. Dominic Canzone in right field batting sixth. Mitch Garver will work behind the plate and bat seventh. JP Crawford the shortstop will hit eighth. And is it Chris Young? Cole Young, sorry, Cole Young, the second baseman, batting ninth. For Baltimore, Jackson Holiday will lead off and play at second base. Jordan Westber will hit second and play third. Gunnar Henderson is at shortstop batting third. Those three uh names and positions are locked in. Uh Adley Rutman getting the day off completely today. So Ryan Mount Castle is going to bat clean up in DH. Kobe Mayo moves up to bat fifth. He’ll be at first base. Uh Daniel Johnson will get the start in center field. He’ll hit sixth. Jeremiah Jackson in right field batting seventh. Dylan Carlson will hit eighth and play in left field. And Alex Jackson will bat ninth and do the catching. Folks, the 2025 Orioles roster, the team that defies you to ask the question, who are you? Who are you? Daniel Johnson, who are you? Jeremiah Jackson, who are you? Alex Jackson, who are you? Ryan Nota, who are you? Jerem Heraldo, who are you? Cade Straoud, who are you? Dietrich Ends, who are you? Uh, Greg Allen, who are you? And so many more, folks. Who are these people? Uh, the Mariners come in with a record of 67 and 54. They’re one game out of first place behind the D uh the Dodgers. The Astros in the American League West. Orioles are where they have been for virtually the entire season in the American League East and that is in last place. They are four games behind the Rays to get into fourth, three in the loss column. And again, folks, that’s uh that’s my uh goal. Just let’s at least get out of the basement before this season’s over. That’s uh that’s something that’s uh going in the right direction. Uh let’s see. Are there any other notes to go over? First pitch here less than 5 minutes away. Uh the Orioles have announced uh that there’s going to be a 30-year anniversary celebration of Kyle Ripken’s uh consecutive game record-breaking uh uh game back on September 6, 19 95. 30 years. Are you kidding me? You got to be kidding me. I was 18 years old. I was just starting college and I had spent my entire childhood watching Kyrkin play baseball and there he was breaking that record. I remember watching it on ESPN’s house. Ah, that was something. 30 years. Has that been 30 years? Time flies, folks. Uh, time does indeed fly. My goodness. All right, get out of the uh get get your head out of the clouds there, BW. After last after last night’s gem, Trevor Rogers now leads the Orioles with a 3.8 BWR this season. Gunner is second at 36. And there’s nobody else on the roster with a BR as high as two. If you’re not sure how wins above replacement works, don’t worry about it. It’s just uh, you know, it’s just another indication of just how spectacular Trevor Rogers has been this season, folks. Let’s all say it. Let’s all just say it right now. Let’s all just admit our uh misjudgment. I don’t nobody out here had Trevor Rogers becoming what he has become. In fact, a lot of us whenever the name Trevor Rogers was mentioned in the past year or so felt nothing but venom and uh remorse for a trade that was executed to bring him over here last season. I’m one of those people. I fully admit it. I can think back to this spring training and looking at the roster and trying to figure out who was going to fit where and Trevor Rogers name would come up and I would just laugh it off like gh whatever. I guess he’s there for depth. I don’t know what we were thinking trading for him though. Like that would be my uh summation of Trevor Rogers. And I think I’m not alone in that. We were wrong. Okay? I mean, you don’t want me to speak on your behalf, fine. I was wrong, but I know I’m not alone. A lot of us were wrong. Uh but folks, isn’t it nice to be wrong sometimes? It’s nice. I can uh admit it, feel humbled, and then enjoy the results of being wrong, which is Trevor Rogers pi pitching his ass off. So again, just a tip of the old not wearing it right now cap to Trevor Rogers for an outstanding uh season so far. I really hope he we we got something special with him uh for some extended length of time. I’m talking years. I went years of this. We need it. We need a pitcher we can depend on. Today we’re going with Tomyuki Sigano. This is his 23rd start. He’s got a 9 and5 record and he is taking his final warm-up pitches right now for Baltimore. All right, Charm City chat, final game of this home stand. We’re heading down to Houston. We’re getting on a plane, all of us. Hope you’ve packed uh I hope you’ve packed up well, folks. We’ve got over 50 people here before first pitch. 23 have hit the like button. About uh 31 have not. So, what do you say we get that ratio a little more friendly? Settle in. Chill out. We’ve got the whole afternoon together, but uh get your one obligation out of the way if you don’t mind and hit that thumbs up for me, please. A Rose Arena is taking his cuts here in the on deck circle. Josh Naylor right next to him. And here we go. He’s picked up his game bat and is walking up to home plate right now. Defensively for the Orioles, Carlson and left, Johnson in center, Jackson and right. You’re probably asking, “Who are you?” Westber at third, Gunner at short, Holiday at second, Mayo at first, and Alex Jackson behind the plate. First pitch of the ball game from Sagano is up and in for ball one. All right, we’ve got cloudy skies, but it doesn’t look like threat of rain today as the next pitch is called to strike. That looked a bit inside, but we get the call. One and one on A Rose Arena. The game last night started about an hour or so late. A Rosena lays a bunt down, but it’s hit too hard right at Kobe Mayo at first base. He scoops it up, turns to his left and taps the bag for the unassisted put out. Not a good bunt by Rosarena. Tomayyuki Sagano says, “Thank you very much for the easy first out of the ball game.” Here is Josh Naylor. 291 the average, 15 homers, 69 driven in. And he takes up and away with a splitter from Sigano. Try to get this scoreboard up and working here in just a sec, folks. The 10 fouled back. Naylor does not like to spend too much time looking at pitches. averages seeing just over three per at bat. One of the more aggressive swingers in baseball. He’s got a 2-1 count now. One out, nobody on in the top of the first. That one in on the hands. He turns on it down the right field line. That ball is going to be a foul ball just to the right of the foul pole that splits the flag court from the stands down the right field line. Naylor nearly found a home run there. Very close. O, we’re talking five feet at most. Very close. Very, very close. Too close. The count is two and two now on Naylor. By the way, the Mariners are wearing their what would you call it? Teal jersey tops with gray pants. Orioles wearing their home whites shirts and pants. Two two pitch is inside. Full count to nail her and the payoff pitch now. That one’s hit hard on the ground but foul. First base side. We’ll do it again. So, just talking about how Naylor doesn’t see a whole lot of pitches. And here we are about to see pitch number seven in this at bat. That one’s hit hard, but foul again off to the right. And what a catch out there by a youngster wearing a Holiday City Connect jersey. standing up in a section pretty much to himself. He catches a line drive. Give that kid a contract. Another 3-2 to Naylor. That ball is scorched down the right field line. It’ll bounce in fair and Naylor’s turning on the Jets for second. The throw is in. The throw is there in time. Josh Naylor is nailed at second base. A throw out from right field by Jeremiah Jackson. He threw a seed to second base. Gunner applies the tag. How about that? Oh, Jackson got to that ball, picked it up, and turned and threw it in all in one quick motion. No energy uh misspent. You can’t really do that much better. Wow. Sigano tips his cap. Two down in the inning. And here’s Julio Rodriguez. And he’s fallen behind 0 and2 now after a swing and a miss on a sweeper from Sagano. That was impressive. Where did that come from? Jeremiah Jackson. 0 and2 the count on Julio and he fouls one away. I’m not sure what is going on with the scoreboard today for balls and strikes. Normally it shows up by Oh, you know what? I think I have to There we go. That could be the reason. Pitch inside. One ball, two strikes. Oh, what happened? Oh, boy. Uh, one sec, folks. I’ve been distracted. What happens if I go over here? Okay. For some reason, it’s all right. Oh, hang in there, folks. Jorge Palano with two down and runner at first. Looks at a called strike. What is going on here? Come on. There it is. There you are. All right. Hit on the ground to second. Holiday to his left will get it over to first in time and the inning is over. Well, just in time for the inning to end and for this screen to go black. Uh, it’s a scoreless inning of work here for Sigano, helped out by a really nice play out in right field by Jeremiah Jackson on a wouldbe double from Josh Naylor. It was not a double. It was a single and he is thrown out trying to turn it into two. We go to the bottom of the first. The Mariners nothing and the Orioles are coming up. How you doing folks? I will be right back. Great to have you here. Stand by. He met a strange friend in the Chesapeake Bay when the All right, folks. We’re underway in the bottom of the first. Jackson Holiday at the plate. Logan Evans on the mound. His 15th start of the season. And on a two- pitch, Holiday will lift one into left field. A Rosa Raina backs up a couple of steps, but has plenty of room to make this catch. One away. Holiday flies out to left field. Stand by, folks. working on something behind the scenes. Yeah. Jordan Westber takes one outside for ball one. Well, West is that way. Brown ball base hit in through the hole on the left side. That will be a base hit for Westber in the left field. 107 off the bat. He hit that one hard. A one out single. First base runner of the day for Baltimore. Gunnar Henderson up and that pitch is away for ball one. Come on, Gunner. His name’s Gunnar and he’s dating my mom. Pitch is called a strike. Might have been an inch outside, but the call goes the way of Evans. One ball, one strike to Gunner Westber at first. Nobody out. Excuse me. One out in the bottom of the first and a swing and a miss makes it a ball in two strikes. I hear a bugle. The one two pitch. He fouls that one away. That would have been a ball low. Another one, two is bounced in there and gets away from the catcher. Westberg can walk to second base. Wild pitch and that puts a runner in scoring position and takes the conventional double play out of order. Nice result for us right there. How you doing, folks? All right, it’s a scoreboard up. All right, two balls, two strikes. The count on Gunner. What happened? Pitch low for ball three, folks. Full count. Payoff pitch hit on the ground softly to first. Naylor will scoop it up and just turn his body slightly to the left to tap the bag. All in one smooth motion. Gunner will be retired for the second out. Ground ball to first. However, Westber now up to third base and Ryan Mount Castle coming up to hit. So, two down, runner at third. Mount Castle hitting 245 with four homers and either 15 or 17 RBI. I missed it. First pitch is a strike to Mounty, folks. Mount up. Okay, mount up. Swing and a miss. A sweeper breaking away from Mount Castle. It’s 0 and two. Evans comes back again trying to get a chase low and away. The world’s worstkept scouting report secret. Ryan Mount Castle and breaking pitches low and away. sliders, slurves, sweepers, and cutters like this one here. Mount Castle lays off. It’s outside. It’s two and two. Two down. Westber at third base. No score. Bottom of the first. All right, Evans into his delivery and down goes Mounty. A cutter breaking outside and low. Low and away. Low and away to Mounty, folks. Oh my. I honestly don’t know why anyone pitches to him anywhere else. Mount Castle strikes out to end the inning. The Orioles get a runner as far as third base, but he is stranded. We go to the second inning. No score in Baltimore. All right. All right. All right. Uh, I need a beverage. So, once again, I’m stepping away for a sec. Don’t you worry, I won’t miss a pitch. All right, let me let me rephrase. I won’t missing that bat. All right, I might miss a pitch. All right, top of the second. Let’s go. Sigano on the mound and the first pitch to Suarez is fouled off the third base side. Auhaneo Suarez 237 2 excuse me 234 the average 37 home runs mostly with the Diamondbacks this season popped up on the infield Jackson right at home plate in foul territory just behind the lefthand batter’s box makes the catch One down in the top of the second. Hey Charm City chat, how you doing on this uh Thursday afternoon? Bookdock is here. Isaac Rowdy Dog Poin Case Danny Matt. Here’s a breaking ball to Dominic Canzone outside for ball one. Can zones hitting 280 left-handed batter uh Froggy’s here George Bud pitch outside 2 and 0 Bud’s a Mets fan giving a thumbs up appreciate it bud Baxter how you doing Edward is here tried to atmentntion me didn’t quite work but I see that you tried Oh my. Melanie is sideline reporting with those sunglasses of hers. Two and one on can zone. Pitch from Sigano. Curveball outside. 3 and one. Edward says, “Hello BW. I have an announcement to make. I will be leaving YouTube for a while due to financial issues. I will be here for two weeks yet. No one did anything wrong. I truly enjoyed chat. Well, Edward, I’m sorry to hear that. That doesn’t sound good, but uh I mean, you know, time is, you know, equivalent to to money, right? All you need in in order to enjoy the content here is time. You don’t need any money here. I guess you need an internet connection. I live over here. There’s free Wi-Fi just floating around. You just punch in somebody’s numbers and you got Wi-Fi. Uh so I’m Yeah, I I hope things work out for you, buddy. But uh if you’ve got internet access, then you’ve always got something free to do, which is hang out here with us. Uh Dominic Canzone with a full count. Payoff pitch fouled away. Chupacabra Gang Warfare is here. That is a mouthful. Travis uh Nick Rob, did I get you already? Xu dropped a like. Thank you. Rachel’s here. Who are you? Who are you? Another foul ball from Canzone. Still three and two. This sad bat’s going on forever. Is that Ben’s girl? I see. Making a rare appearance. Haven’t seen that name in forever. Don Rock is here asking how am I doing? I’m doing all right, Don. How about you? Edward Cantor says, “Wow, what a win last night.” Bobo’s here saying aoy crew members. I think I got about everybody. Edward Vasquez. We’ve got three different Edwards, folks. How am I supposed to keep track of three different Edwards? That’s That’s just too many. Now, uh that pitch inside Canzone finally draws a walk after a long battle with Sigano. A one out walk. and Mitch Garver coming up next. Danny the K just popped in. Sam is here saying what up? How you doing, Sam? Isaac is here. Joseph Mitchell. Nice little crowd, folks, for this uh Thursday afternoon game. Good to see. Here’s Mitch Garver with a 10 count. Runner at first, one out. That’s a called strike on a cutter. Outside corner at the knees. Garver’s hitting just 212. Getting a chance to catch day game after a night game. normally DH’s with Cal Raleigh obviously doing the bulk of the catching. We get a chance to face this Mariner lineup with Cal Rally on the bench. We should uh try and take advantage of that 1-1 to Garver. Breaking ball. Nice swing and a miss. It’s one and two. Chilo is here. One and two to Garver. Sagano’s delivery. That ball’s lifted to left, but not a whole lot on it. Carlson is going to camp under it and make the catch. Two away. End zone retreats back to first. The last six starts combined from oral starters have yielded very nice results at 2.68 erra. And I guess that includes Brandon Young who hasn’t really been doing that well. But yeah, Sigano, Kramer, Rogers, and who am I forgetting? Somebody. Who am I forgetting? Tagano, Kramer, Rogers, Young, and then uh who else? Who the hell else is in this rotation? I can’t remember. Help. All right, I’ll figure it out. This is all I have to do. I got a way to cheat. Povich, thank you. Sorry. Thank you, Card. Yeah, Povich had a good outing his last time out. That’s right. Okay. Ow. And to the count on JP Crawford pitch inside, one ball, two strikes. Again, folks, you’ll have to forgive me if uh I have trouble keeping track of the roster right now. Who are you? Who are you? The one two to Crawford is low. Two balls, two strikes. Sorry, Danny. Who are you? The 22. All right, Sigano is holding the ball. Here it comes. It’s a foul ball off the foot of Crawford. It bounces all the way to first. Mayo fields it, but it’s a foul ball. still two and two. 37 pitches from Sagano. So even if he gets this third out on the next pitch, that’s 19 per inning. And he hasn’t really gotten into much trouble. Just a lot of deep counts. 22 to Crawford. popped up. Gunner will have it on the outfield grass. The inning is over. So, yes, a lot of pitches, 38 pitches, 19 per inning, but uh Sagano’s only given up a hit and a walk. Two base runners, two men left on through two for the Mariners. We go to the bottom of the second. Scoreless in Baltimore. It’s DanBW. Hello, Dan. Hello. I can’t I can’t call you Danny even though it says Danny right there in front of my face. All right. All right, Dan. I got you if I slip and call you Danny another time. Don’t hate me. Just reading names. Hey, three Marberry is here saying, “Let’s go.” Yeah, everybody’s having trouble keeping up with the roster. Every day you’re walking into the clubhouse, meeting three or four new people, it seems. Hi, how are you? Who are you? What position do you play? Great. Are we in competition? I don’t know. It’ll be Mayo, Johnson, and Jackson coming up. Johnson and Jackson, folks. All we need is a Smith. And uh we’ll have the the most boring lineup names of all time in here, but Mayo’s coming up first. Folks, if you’re a Magic member, whip out those mayonnaise jars cuz Kobe Mayo is coming up to hit, folks. Not much of a crowd here today. If there’s 15,000, I’d be shocked. All right, Kobe Mayo, get it all on there. Get it all on there. Just spread it out. Warren is here. First pitch to Mayo is a breaking ball in there for a strike. Kobe’s hitting 213, four homers, 18 RBI. Pitch off the plate, one ball, one strike. Gotcha, Danny K. Gotcha, Dan. One ball, one strike. Pop straight up. get out of play. It will get out of play behind home plate. One ball, two strikes. Oh, I need some caffeine. I need some I need a beverage of some sort. Okay, one two pitch. Mayo reached out of the zone to foul it away. It’s still a ball and two strikes. What’s the farthest major league home run you’ve witnessed while at a game? H gosh, I don’t know. Uh, I feel like this isn’t the right answer, but I just I saw a game probably the second year of the ballpark. Camden Yards. I’m I’m thinking of Camden Yards. I’ve been to other ballparks. I’ve seen home runs. I’ve seen long home runs. Bull Count on Mayo, folks, leading off the bottom of the second. But uh Frank Thomas back in like 93. That is ball four. That pitch was high. Kobe Mayo with a lead off walk. Nice work for Mayo to get on base. I’m walking here. I’m walking here. It was a night where of all people, Mike Mucina was on the mound and Mucina gave up not one but two home run balls to Frank Thomas and I was sitting third base side. So I’m looking straight over toward the warehouse and Thomas, you know, a right-handed batter. He had hit one of those to the opposite field. Here’s a ground ball to first. They go to second to get Mayo and that’s all the Mariners will get. on this ground ball by Daniel Johnson. It’ll be a fieldielder’s choice. He’ll take over at first base. One out here in the bottom of the second. And Jeremiah Jackson coming up, folks. Jeremiah was once a bullfrog. Jeremiah was a bullfrog. So, yeah. Uh I Yeah, me Thomas did have me seen his number. I’m pretty sure this was the only game Moose ever gave up two home run balls to him though, so it might not be two. This ball could be two. Ground ball to third. They go to second for one. Over to first. And they call that a double play. That was pretty close at first, but no signs of anyone thinking of challenging or I guess I’m the only one that thought it was close. So Jeremiah Jackson hits into a double play. Stop it all. And this inning will come to a close. We go now to the third inning. Scoreless and Baltimore. Yes. So that opposite field home run was hit uh like to the very back of the bleachers in right center, you know, below the scoreboard there. I mean, a ball that for a left-handed power batter would have been impressive. And Thomas just went the other way like it was nothing. And maybe part of the reason why in my mind it was one of the farthest I’ve seen was that I I can still remember the sound it made off the bat. It might have been the loudest damn crack of the bat I’ve ever heard in my life. Frank Thomas, that dude was a scary dude at the plate. Scary scary dude. Uh, Frozen in the first. All right. Something’s going on with my uh computer tonight. All of my little icons on the bottom, like the little taskbar at the bottom of your computer, they’re all grayed out. I had to guess which of these was the right grade out button for my uh streaming software. So, something weird’s going on. I might have to refresh this uh in-game screen a lot today and if it becomes a big pain in the butt, I might just abandon it. All right, top of the third inning. Sagano first pitch is in there for a strike to the number nine batter Cole Young who’s hitting .248. Three homers, 16 RBI. Pitch inside, one and one the count. So now I got to adjust this. That’s the other thing. If every time I do refresh it, I have to adjust it. That might be enough to drive me crazy. This pitch in the dirt. Two and one on Young and Rain is starting to fall over here where I am. We need some rain. We need We need the temperature to go down a little bit. 2-1 to Young popped up out of play. Yeah. The thing about Frank, you know, standing at the plate, you know, he was his posture at the plate very, it was almost like a Mickey Tedleton type, you know, kind of. Here’s a little soft liner to Mayover at first. He makes the catch. Little soft softball liner for the first out here in the top of the third. But yeah, Frank Frank would stand the plate just straight up and down and hold that bat close. Kind of wave it over his head. Straight up and down. First pitch, Rosena pops it up shallow right field. Jeremiah Jackson comes in and makes the catch. Two quick outs here in the third inning. Excuse me. Yeah. Two quick outs in the third inning. Yeah, believe in yourself, BW. But yeah, it would it would just be something to watch Frank’s batting stance go from it just it never looked like he was ready to swing like he does. Like it just goes I don’t I can’t even put it into words. It’s a very big swing, but there’s not a whole lot of wind up to it. You know what I mean? He would just uh I I I’ve completely lost my train of thought. I’m sorry. I am spaced out. Uh excuse me. I promise folks I am completely sober. It’s a 1-1 count on Josh Naylor right now. Two down, nobody on in the top of the third. This pitch is inside. Two and one. Oh, that ball sounded heavy off the bat. Ball heading to right center field. It’ll stay in the yard. Johnson will make the catch and the inning is over. All right, Sigano. Three innings. He’s given up one hit, one walk, no runs. So far so good. We go to the bottom of the third. We need some offense. No score in Baltimore, folks. We got over a hundred people here chilling right now. That’s great for a Thursday afternoon in August. for this Orioles team that is uh not necessarily having a great season. So, great turnout. Good to see you here. Got one favor to ask you. Uh feel free to stay as long as you like. Put your feet up, grab a snack and a beverage, hang out here in the Charm City chat, and uh have fun talking with everybody else here. But one favor to ask. Please hit that like button. Tap that thumbs up at the bottom of your screen. We got over 100 people here. So, the target is over 100 likes. What do you say? Appreciate it. And thank you. All right, folks. I’m going to try to find something to drink. I’m feeling a bit parched. So, be right back. Thank you. There’s the one two behind to right center field. That’s a base hit and that one gets away from Jazz. Another run is in. More bad defense from the Yankees. It’s 7 nothing. Jazz couldn’t handle the throw coming in from the outfield. And just like that, it is a seven to nothing ball game. I just [ __ ] take the whole team off the field, man. Take the whole team off the field. Take the whole team off the field. Take them all. Get them all [ __ ] out of here. I’m so done. I I can’t even look at this anymore, man. I can’t look at this [ __ ] anymore. This is pathetic. This is This is This is truly disgusting. This is disgusting. All right, bottom of the third. First pitch to Carlson’s a strike. Carlson’s hitting 194. Four homers, 15 RBI. Breaking ball. Strike two. Bottom of the zone. Ah, what game is this, folks? What number are we up to today? Game number 121. Still 41 games to play after this. So, this pretty much marks the three quarter mark of the season. One quarter of the season to go after today. Carlson fouls it away. It’s still a ball and two strikes, leading off the bottom of the third. What if we went 30 and 10 down the stretch? low and end two balls and two strikes. Just for a laugh, if we were to go 32 and 10, that would put us at 86 and 76. And maybe, just maybe, that gets us in. 32 and 10 is what it would take. Ah, if only payoff pitch to Carlson outside ball four. All right, Carlson sees a lot of pitches, works the count full, gets a leadoff walk, and leadoff walks in scoreless ball games, those are big. Alex Jackson, the number nine batter coming up, 244 average. Let’s play a little small ball. Let’s try to get this runner in a scoring position for Holiday any way we can. First pitch strike to Alex on the outside edge. 0 and one the count. Yeah. Holiday top of the order coming up next. Runner at first. Nobody out. Here is a check swing and it’s a ground ball to short and Jackson has just head into a double play. We needed to do something there. Lay a bunt down or get the runner in motion. Avoid this very uh outcome right here. Nothing. No creativity, no ingenuity uh on offense. So now base is empty, two down. Here’s Jackson Holiday. Takes one low for ball one. Come on, Tony. You got to wake up, man. There may not be a whole lot of chances today. Foul tipped by Holiday. It’s a ball and a strike. Evans is really starting to settle in here. There’s strike two on the inside edge. He’s almost through three innings under 40 pitches. One to the count and the pitch. That was a strike, but the umpire did not give the call. It is bald two. I think everybody in the ballpark knew that was a strike except the ump. Two two pitch popped up. Third base. Suarez takes a couple of crow hops to his right and makes the catch. Not much happening for the Orioles on offense again through the first three innings. Uh just the one hit, one man left. No action in this inning. On to the fourth. Just one hit a piece, no score. Mariners Orioles. Uh 345 batters coming up for Seattle. Julio Rodriguez, Jorge Palano, and Auaneo Suarez. Kirstad is out on the field today, says Three Marberry. That’s that’s good news for who is he with uh is he with uh Norfolk or is he doing stuff down in Florida like in the complex league or something? I have no idea where Kirstad even is right now after being shut down with fatigue, but it would be nice for Kirstad to have enough time left before the end of the season to try to get back on the right track, whatever level of baseball he’s at right now. Not been a good year for Kirstad. That was a question. Uh, I don’t think so there, Marberry. He’s been shut down for a while. Yeah, I thought you were giving me some positive news. No, if there’s no news, then the news is still bad. Kirstad is indefinitely shut down due to what they call fatigue. Mainly, he’s just lost at the plate. Can’t hit a damn thing. Uh, positive news. Positive news for the Orioles. There’s a couple of things, but even the positive news has a a negative lining. Like say Trevor Rogers for example. Julio Rodriguez goes after the first pitch, hits it to right field. Jeremiah Jackson, two steps in front of the track, makes the catch, one down. Like Trevor Rogers, I think, is easily the most positive story of the season. But now you you sit there and you go, “Well, are this is this team going to do the right thing now and get this guy a long-term contract extension? We’ve got ourselves something special here. Let’s lock them up. And until we do that, it’s hard to feel uh 100% great about the whole thing. Like I I love watching Rogers pitch right now, but man oh man, let’s let’s get this dude nailed down for a while for this team. I’m even willing to go a year beyond my own uh hard stance rule on how many years I’m willing to offer up a contract to a starter because of all the injury volatility there is. 20 pitch to Palano. Hit out to right center field and deep onto the warning track. The catch is made out there by Daniel Johnson. All right, Sigano able to keep the ball in the yard. Two away. Lock up Rogers. Do it yesterday. And again, I’m willing to give another I’m willing to give a five-year deal. I’m willing to go a year over my own uh limits. just because I feel like the annual salary shouldn’t be crazy if we do it now. Uh Aeno Suarez has an 02 count quickly. Two down here in the fourths. Sagano is starting to settle in. Another quick inning here would get his pitch count back under control. He had to throw a lot of pitches the first couple of innings even though he didn’t give up a run. This one’s outside. One ball, two strikes on Suarez. One, two blowing away. Orioles with a win today would move to 55 and 66 22 bottom of the zone called strike three folks. Well, y’all come back now. You hear that? Four scoreless innings for Sigano of one hit ball. Folks, it’s time to play a little song. I got to point this a little farther that way. There we go. Get me in frame, folks. All right, Sagano. Where is that erra of his? It came in today under four and a quarter. Got to be down. Yeah, 419. I know. 410. 410 at the moment. Mariner pitcher Logan Evans has the 419. Come on. We got to get to this Evans guy. One hit. One stinking hit. That’s it. Come on. All right. Uh Oh, look at that. You mean to tell me it’s been 30 years since Cal broke the streak? You telling me it’s been 30 years? I refuse to believe it. I refuse to believe this. All right, Jordan Westber at the plate. First pitch inside for ball one. Westber base hit is first time up. Come on, buddy. Let’s get a rally going here. Well, West is that way. This one’s a little bit high, a little bit outside. 2 and 0. 2 and 0 on Jordan Westber. Logan Evans first time through the batting order. Opponents hitting just 186. After that, they do much better. 333 second time through. Hopefully that is what we’ll see here. Starting with Westber. He’s got a three- 0 count now. And that’s a strike. Evans finds the outside corner. Three and one. 44 pitches for Evans so far. Only 23 for strikes. That’s outside. That is ball four. Third walk given up by Evans. Lead off walk for Westber. We got to make something out of this. Westber’s on. Nobody out. Gunner’s coming up. It’s time to do do the right thing. Have a plan. Pitch. Breaking ball hits the outside corner. 0 and one on Gunner. His name’s Gunner and he’s dating my mom. Lots of space on the left side of the infield. Line drive. Base hit. Right field as a foul. No. Oh, I’m sorry. God, I thought that was fair. The foul ball down the right field corner. Ah, that was a probably about a foot and a half foul. Sorry about that, folks. False alarm. It’s 0 and2 on Gunner. That one’s chopped foul off to the right. 02 to Gunner. Breaking ball pops straight up behind home plate. Garver with the mask off. Makes the catch. And that’s what I’m talking about. Man, oh man. Scoreless ball game. You get the leadoff walk. You got your best hitter up there. You’re hoping to do something productive and it’s a foul pop up to the catcher. One down. Ryan Mount Castle. Okay, mount up. Okay, mount up. Come on, Mounty. Hey, what do you know? Another pitch low and away to Mount Castle, but he lays off. That’s one ball, no strikes. He gets into one here. It shoots the gap. It dies in the gap. Westber will go first to third on this base hit by Mount Castle. Only one out. Runners at the corners. And our best chance today to get on the board. Folks, get wet. All right, runner at third base with less than two out. Kobe Mayo walked his first time up. Can he produce in this RBI spot and give us the lead? Let’s get it all on there. Just spread it out. Come on, buddy. First pitch, call it a strike. Front door cutter from Evans. Get that mayo up in the chat, folks. You know what it looks like. The 01 pitch is low. One ball, one strike. I’m ready to make a sandwich. I need some mayo. Pitch. Hit on the ground. Foul. One ball, two strikes. The chant of let’s go O’s starts to swell around the ballpark. It’s not a big crowd, but they’re making noise. Evans picks up the rosin bag. One, two to Mayo up and he pops it up on the infield. Not going to help. That’s the second out of the inning. An infield pop up. Man, oh man. O Chevitz, folks. So many ways to get a run in. All you want to not do is pop it up like that or strike out. And All right, two down for Daniel Johnson. 0 for one. First pitch low and in for ball one. Johnson. Who are you? Who are you? trying to pick up Mayo here with a two out knock. Westberg’s at third base. Here’s a foul ball. Makes it a ball and a strike. Mount Castle’s at first base. Well, this is interesting. The mass broadcast has decided for some strange reason to give us a prospect profile of one Dylan Beavers. Could this mean something here in the next couple of days? Swing and a miss by Johnson. It’s a ball and two strikes. Nice, Beaieber. Thank you. Ah, I wonder if uh I tell you what, they know exactly what they’re doing. One, two, pitch gets away. And are they going to try to score the play at the plate? The ball squirts away. The run will score. And Mount Castle goes from first all the way to third. Folks, a calamity by the Mariners gives the Orioles a gift. It’s one- nothing Baltimore on a wild pitch. We’ll take it any way we can get it. Oh, Westber. I hope he didn’t jam his hand. Evans came in to cover the plate and did so in a way that wasn’t very Yeah, he got a knee right in on West as he slid and looks like he’s okay. Actually, Evans might be the one worse for the wear. The trainer is out to look at him out there on the mound. One- nothing Baltimore, folks. We got a lead here in the rubber game against a looks like he might have chipped a nail. I am watching a Major League Baseball player have nail polish being applied in the middle of a ball game. Hey, why don’t you give him a Manny Petty while you’re at it? Come on. And put some glitter on on there. What am I looking at here? Yeah, I know. It’s it’s it’s it’s got a purpose. Yeah. Basically, uh it’s some kind of resin to probably keep your nail from falling off. I mean, if that’s on Evans’s pitching hand, that could be a really big problem. He’s going to take a warm-up pitch or two, and this could be a problem. He might not be able to grip the baseball the way he needs to with what appears to be a A cuticle problem. One- nothing Orioles. Two down with a runner at third. The count is two and two on Johnson at the plate. And I guess the Evans is going to hang in there. I don’t see how this is going to help him. It can only hurt him. Let’s hope it helps us. Two and two the count on Johnson. in the pitch. In the dirt. All right, that’s a good sign. Evans spikes one in the dirt. First pitch since the cuticle incident, as we’re calling it. Full count, folks. Come on. The payoff pitch to Johnson way outside. And I don’t think Evans can pitch. Both pitches since the incident have been less than desirable and quickly the pitching coaches out to talk to Evans. I think they’re going to have to make a change. I hope they wait another batter. How are they not seeing what I’m seeing? He’s even right now like attempting to grip the ball while talking to the catcher and he does not look comfortable out there. Folks, this is good news for us. Jeremiah Jackson do up next trying to take advantage of a pitcher with a bum finger. All right, here we go. Come on. Let’s get the big hit. Jeremiah, first pitch is fouled right at the plate. Q ball. Look at the English on that. 0 and one on Jackson. Come on, Jeremiah. If you get a base hit here, the wine is on me. Owen won the count. Little bit of a delay here. Now we’re ready. Evans from the belt. The 01 pitch to Jackson. Low and away. There goes Johnson. Down to second. And he apparently now they’re going to try for home. And they’re safe. Oh, he tricked him. Holy cow. Unbelievable. Daniel Johnson caught in a rundown between first and second. Ryan Mount Castle says, “All right, I’ll break for home.” He does play at the plate. Mounty is safe. Two runs the hard way in the inning. It’s two nothing Baltimore. One-1 Jackson is low even though it looked like it got the bottom of the zone. Why did he stop? I think it was by design. I really think Daniel Johnson purposefully stopped on his way to second base to get that rund down started to give Mounty a chance to break for the plate. I really think he had the baseball IQ to pull that off. That was outstanding. We absolutely stole a run. And it’s two nothing. Two-2 pitch. That ball’s lying. Base hit left center field. And Johnson’s going to come around to score. 3 nothing Baltimore. Where did this come from? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Three. Three nothing Baltimore folks. Oh ho, it’s magic. Dylan Carlson laces one foul off to the right. And once again, folks, I know a lot of this has to do with wild pitches and pickles, rundowns, double steals, or whatever you want to call it, but uh Evans on the mound. Ever since that fingernail issue, things have been going south for the Mariners. Three nothing Orioles. 0 and2 the count now on Carlson. Jackson over at first base with two down pitch in the dirt. Folks, when the game started last night, the Mariners were winners of eight in a row. as hot as any team in baseball. Baltimore now in a position to win this series. This one’s popped up by Carlson. Shallow right center, the second baseman out to make the catch to win the inning. But the Orioles, they get by with a little help from their friends. Some wild pitches, some stolen base attempts that turn into a steal of home. Yada bing, yada boom. Next thing you know, it’s three nothing Baltimore. A three nothing lead for Sugar. Let’s go.

Dominic Canzone will lead it off for the Mariners. And he takes inside for ball one. There’s a strike. Back-to- back splitters from Sagano. This one catches the inside corner. Here’s a ball hit out toward right. Jackson’s going to have to play this. Well, he won’t have a play. The ball will bounce off of the ground screw shed and up over into the bleachers for a ground rule double. A leadoff double by Canzone. Why am I looking at a photo of two girls on a horse? Why am I looking at a picture of a 5-year-old Melanie Newman on a horse? Mitch Garver at the plate. First pitch is low. Ball one. Why am I hearing an anecdote about Melanie Newman once sitting on a horse from 30 years ago? Why two and0 the count on Garver? Oh, it’s tying in a cowboy hat promotion. Okay, great. Two and0 to Garver pitch. Sigano is working himself into trouble. It’s 3 and 0 now. Wow. I guess I’m the only person who’s never had a photograph of them taken as a kid on a pony. There’s a strike. Three in one to Garver. What is this? What is What am I looking at? I don’t know what they’re doing over in Madison today. 3-1 count to Garver. Swing and a miss. He chased ball four. Thank you, Mitch. A leadoff double here in the top of the fifth for the Mariners. And now a full count on Mitch Garver. Payoff pitch from Sigano. Swing and a miss. Oh, doctor. A pretty sweeper there from Sugar. Well, y’all come back now. You hear? Sugar. My dance moves could use some work tonight. JP Crawford pops it up behind the plate. Jackson with a look, but it’s out of play. 67 pitches right now for Sigano. One out in the fifth. The 01 inside. Got it up to 94 there. with the fast ball. One and one on JP Crawford. Sigano looked I thought he stepped off the rubber. Okay, that I was worried he might have balked there. Pitches a check swing appeal. No swing. Two balls, one strike. This ball’s hit on the ground to first. Mayo will take it to the bag unassisted for the second out of the inning. Kzone will move up to third base, but with two down, a chance for uh Sigano to get out of another inning unscathed. Thanks for the donation, Gary. I don’t see a a Gary says, “Oh, is that on the uh Kofi?” Gary, you’re not talking about a super chat. Here is Cole Young and he takes low for ball one. Two down, runner at third. Oh, I see it. 18 minutes ago, Gary. I see it. Thank you so much, Gary. I see it right there. It says, “Here’s to you.” I’m typing in. Thank you so much. Look at that. In the middle of calling the game, Gary, in the middle of calling the game, I’m writing you back. Uh, two and0 the count on Young the pitch. That ball’s lifted out toward right. That ball was outside. Okay, Jackson’s going to be able to chase this down with his glove high over his head to make that catch near the track. I was going to be very upset if that ball carried any further because that ball was outside. Young had to reach for it, pulled it, and unless you are one of the stronger hitters in baseball, you should not be hitting that ball anywhere but for an out. Thanks again, Gary. Yeah, folks, just so you know, uh if you do want to help out the channel in a way that actually helps more than uh a super chat, uh kofi kofi.com, there’s a link for it. I think the mods post it once in a while, but uh you know, YouTube, they take a a little chunk of change out of your super chats, just so you know. Uh whereas the Kofi site they also take a little bit too but uh it’s it’s only a little bit not as much as YouTube. More goes to me which is what we want right folks. These photos they’re showing on the broadcast makes me think I should use AI to make a cowboy BW. Please don’t. Please don’t. Oh god. I think the cash considerations baseball card is enough BWAI for my taste. Yes, Kofi. Thank you once again. There’s the link. Froggy Card craze. Just put it in the chat. Again, folks, it’s something I normally don’t advertise. I just have it written in my uh description. Um but uh again it is a more effective way of supporting the channel. More goes to me, less goes to the middleman. Uh Carlos Vargas is on in relief. That is going to be it for Evans today. The Orioles have gotten into the Seattle bullpen. Vargas making his 54th appearance. He’s pitched 56 and two/3 innings. Got an RA of 3.65. Right-hander facing Alex Jackson. And then the top of the order. Jackson first pitch swinging. Hits a one hopper to short and Crawford will get it over to first in time. 10 away quickly. One pitch. That ball was hit hard. 108 off the bat of Jackson. Alex that is this Jackson Holiday up to hit now. Come on buddy. First pitch to Jackson Holiday up and away. Hey, thank you Gary. Going to try to Oh, I play the show. I play the show so much that this coming off season, this channel is going to be all about me playing the show, live streaming video game play as BW takes over as general manager, manager and players of the Orioles franchise, tries to get through a whole season in the off season. So, if you think that sounds like fun, well, get ready cuz uh come October, probably late October, probably after the World Series is over, I’m going to take some time off. But by the end of October, start of November, we’re playing some baseball on the show. Jackson Holiday with a 3-1 count. One out, nobody on in the bottom of the fifth. Pitch. That’s ball four. Another walk for the Orioles today. I’m walking here. I’m walking here. Westber coming up next. Yeah, I’m sure you will. So glad you asked me. I’m going to assume your age is somewhere between 9 and 13 years old, which is fine, but you’re showing your age. Pitch inside to Westber. It’s 1 and 0. I’m just trying to call a ball game, kid. You don’t need to flex on me. Oh, you’re 35 and I’m sorry. You’re 35 talking like you’re 12. My apologies. flexing on me. Come on. Pitch has popped up right side. Could be a play near the tarp out there. Naylor kind of crashes into the tarp. Nobody able to make the catch. Westber will stay up to hit with a 1-1 count. Runner at first, one out. A single and a walk today for Westber. So, he’s reached base both times already today. Hey, can you Is my mic picking up that squeak? I don’t think it is. Oh, that one got Westy up and in between. Looks like right at below the shoulder, which wouldn’t be the worst place to get hit. Westber will take first base. He’s been on base three times now. A hit, a walk, and a hit by a pitch. Thank you. Thank you, Froggy. All right, that got him in a meaty place. He’s got some protection there. So, Westber should be okay. Two men on now for Baltimore. Here’s Gunnar Henderson. His name’s Gunner and he’s dating my mom. Looks at a first pitch strike. All right, there’s rain coming down. base hit down the left field line. Off the glove of the third baseman, Holiday will come in to score. Moving up to third is Westber. It’s an RBI double. And folks, this is an official ball game. 4 nothing Orioles. Folks, let the rain pour. Call the game and let me go to bed. Let’s take this series right now. It’s magic. And the rain is coming down hard now. Ryan Mount Castle at the plate takes up and in for ball one. They could throw the tarp out here at any minute. Crowd starting to make their way into the concourse. Vargas wants a new baseball. I don’t think Vargas wants to throw another pitch. It’s one and0 in Mount Castle. One out, second and third. It’s four nothing Orioles. The pitch. That one’s drilled left center field. It’s going to be caught though by Rose Arena. However, Westber can tag and score. And going from second to third is Gunner. It is 5 nothing Baltimore, folks. Oh ho, it’s magic, you know. Oh, it’s magic ride. Kobe Mayo. We’re playing through the rain, folks. And it feels good. The entire ballpark is one giant splash zone, folks. My oh my. Oh, Kevin Brown saying the rain is starting to slow down. Good, I guess. There’s a pitch outside. 2 and 0 on Mayo. I tagged BW, but I don’t think he saw it yet. Uh, where was the tag? Top score screen is a whole inning behind. Yeah, I it’s been refreshed. Thanks. 3 the count on Mayo. It’s fixed. Thanks. Three and 0 of the count. Pitch on the outside edge. Three and one. Since it’s raining, do I think the Orioles should install a retractable roof? No. And we’re going to get a pitch clock violation on Vargas. And Mayo on three balls will be given a free pass. Automatic ball four given to Kobe Mayo. That That’s going to put runners at the corners with two down now. Daniel Johnson coming up next. To me, folks, retractable roof stadiums are still they’re not outdoor stadiums. To me, they’re not the same. It’s like an El Camino. It’s not a car. It’s not a truck. You’re trying to have the best of both. And instead, you don’t really get either with those retractable roof ballparks. In my humble view, some of them do it better than others, but uh I don’t know. I like a nice just classic open ballpark. And I’ll deal with the weather. We’ve been dealing with rain and baseball for 150 years. Now, if you’re going to build a team down in Florida, it would make sense to have a roof. If you’re going to put one in Arizona with that heat or in Texas, it makes sense. But if we’re just talking about Atlantic coast weather, summertime weather, yeah, it rains sometimes. Some games get rained out. That’s okay. Johnson into right field. That ball will be right at uh the right fielder out there who is out there. He makes the catch. The inning is over, but the Orioles add on two more runs. Five runs in the past two innings and we played through the rain there to get it. We’ve only got four hits today and we’ve got five runs. That is nice. We go to the sixth inning. It’s 5 nothing Baltimore. All right, folks. I’m going to step away for a sec. Thanks for hanging out with me. Uh, we’re having a nice time, aren’t we? We’re I think we’re having a good time now. We are having fun. Uh, yeah. Hang out. Here’s Harry Kerry. Boy, Harry, you’re a you’re full of energy. You look great. I hate to tell you how I feel. I I’ve had that bad back myself. Also, with this cold, it just seems like it’s settled in there. That’s age, friend. I don’t care what it is. It feels awful. You smell like a drugstore. That’s right. I am a drug store. You’re not a hypochondric, are you? What does that mean? Over sexed. Check out the big brain on bread. Raone just threw a rock at me. O R I O L E S. Magic. Magic. Magic. Magic. Oreos. Magic. Baby. Magic. Oh boy. Oh boy. It’s bacon. We’re on a mission from God. This is Great Ice Tea. This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express and I’m talking to whoever is listening out there. Welcome back, folks. It’s the top of the sixth inning. 5 nothing Orioles here in this rubber game with the Mariners looking to take the series. Oh, hold on. Good morning. Randy Rosarena first pitch popped up third base side. Westber near the bag makes the catch. One down. Sagano burst out in the sixth inning. 74 pitches and Josh Naylor coming up next. Naylor’s one for two, a single and he’s flown out. He’s showing bunt and takes a strike. What are you doing, Josh? You know you’re not bunting. We know you’re not bunting. What are you doing? Rain still falling here at the ballpark. It’s not raining hard, but you can tell looking through the camera here that they’re it’s heavy rain. Big fat raindrops. 1-1 pitch swung on a missed a curveball from Sagano. There is some unidentified music playing in the ballpark that is annoying me. I think it’s stopped now. One-two pitch to Naylor outside by a foot foot and a half. Two and two the count. Right-hander up in the Seattle bullpen. Legum Legumina. Legina. Okay. Legina getting loose. I like legumina better. Kevin Brown says legamina. I say Lego my ego. That’s what I say. Two and two. Two and two. The count on Naylor. Oh my goodness. Pitch. That one’s going to be poked out to right field. My goodness. Josh Naylor is a professional hitter. didn’t even give this a full swing. Just got a pitch outside and poked it. Somehow able to get around on it and pull it. He is on with one out. Julio Rodriguez at the plate and he looks at a strike. You know, where’s Melanie Newman when you need her? She’s always rocking that wet hair look. This weather’s perfect for it. Rain coming down harder right now and some more fans are starting to head toward the concourse. 0 and one on Julio Rodriguez and Sagano steps off for the second time and they’re going to give him a violation. Clearly Sigano is trying to say I can’t pitch in this. Manelino’s got his hands up. Everybody wants to see a tarp thrown on the field. Manelino now walking over to the ump. Tony not happy. There is an argument in the rain. the sort of thing they’d would make a Norman Rockwell Saturday evening post cover out of manager and ump arguing in the rain. That’s why I don’t want a retractable roof. Damn it. I want to see my manager and the ump arguing in rain. All right, they’re going to try to get this game going again. One and one the count on Julio Rodriguez and Sigano steps off the rubber again. It feels like the players are doing everything they can to stall this game to force the umpires to throw the tarp out there. There is water beginning to puddle on the field and that’s it. They are going to bring the tarp out now. So I think Sagano more than anybody wanted this and uh after a few stall tactics it finally worked. The umpires finally relent and have called for the ground screw. We’re going to have a rain delay. Why? Why? I don’t want a rain delay. Not now. Oh boy. Not for a getaway game at 1:45 a.m. I mean, this game could have been done with. I could have been in bed by like 2:30. Almost had a normal night’s sleep. How long is this going to go on? They haven’t even gotten the tarp covering the field the and and the thing is because they waited so long, it’s going to take that much longer to prep the field back into playing shape because there is water puddled all the way across the infield dirt. And they are just now dragging that tarp over. Well, the good news is it’s not coming down crazy hard and I don’t think it’ll last for too long. But we’re in a rain delay, folks. I’m not even on the screen. I should probably come on and say hello. Hi, everybody. Hey, we’re in a rain delay. How are you? Where’s Chile when you need him? We might have to play some yachts. I might have to run down to the 7-Eleven and get myself a snack. Actually, you know what? I got some cereal here. All right. Uh I’ll be right back. And uh I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to enjoy a bowl of cereal with you guys. I don’t often have cereal, but stuff was marked down cheap. So, I uh took the plunge. So, there there’s my snack. A bowl of cereal on the air. Uh be right back. All right. Ah, come on. All right. I didn’t mean no harm. Just a good old boy. Never mean no harm. Beats all you ever saw. Been in trouble with the law since the day he was born. Straightening the curves, flattening the hills. Someday the mountain might get them, but the law never will. Making their way the only way they know how. That’s just a little bit more than the law allow. I’m a good old boy. Oh, them Duke boys. They’re at it again. Hey, it’s not Cocoa Puffs, but you’re not you’re not far off. It is a It is a very childish cereal that is cocoa flavored. I don’t think it’s an American brand. What is this called? Cocoa Crunch. KO KO crunch. Orioles can’t do anything right. Oh no, what happened? Orioles can’t do anything right for me. And this is why I hate this inconsistent team. I bet on hitters and they don’t hit. I put What do you say you bet on hitters? Are you talking about actually like like sports betting? You hate this team because your sports bets aren’t panning out. What? Bro, terrible take, bro. You hate this team because uh you’re not Well, how about you don’t bet? How about that? So, you’d hate the team less if you didn’t bet and lose money betting on players that aren’t doing what you would hope, but you’re happy they’re winning. Well, you lead with you hate the team because of bets. And then your secondary observation is that you’re happy that they’re winning. That’s that’s secondary. You see the problem? This is why I don’t like the betting stuff. Priorities completely out of whack. Yeah. Yeah. Not good, Wolf. Not good. You do you, buddy. You do you. But uh maybe you can look at this as an intervention right now. Uh consider this an intervention, buddy. Consider your mentality right now. You come on here telling me you hate the team because of betting, but you are happy that they’re winning the game. You hope Sigano comes out after. Why? Because of a bet? Because of a bet or because you actually want to see it’s because of a bet, right? What other reason? He really doesn’t need to come back out. He’s qualified for a win. He’s done enough. Yeah, it’s the bet. Man, you’re the worst. You’re the worst, dude. I’m glad you’re laughing. I can laugh with you. It’s fine. But I mean, you’re absolutely everything that’s gone wrong with sports fans ever since they made gambling as easy as uh you know, just scratching your balls. It’s it’s it’s it’s just not a good thing. I’m sorry. You you can say I’m a you know, who the hell am I to judge you and all you? I get it. Again, do whatever you want to do, but I’m just calling it like I see it. That is nuts. 10 years ago, none of this would be a normal conversation. You do understand this, right? like where how did this come about? Oh, Wolf, I’m not trying to pick on you, man. Olive Branch. Good. All right. Is it get Is the ring getting worse? Why don’t they just call the game? Call the game. We’re up to hit right now, right? Let’s just say uh we don’t need to hit anymore. Mariners got their chance in the top half. Call the game. Final score 5 nothing and we can get out of here. All right. It is my opinion, Wolf, but go ahead. Give me a counterpoint. Tell me how I’m wrong. Tell me how sports betting where it’s so easy now that a person can just sit there on the crapper with their phone in their hand just scrolling through looking at parlays and just with a tap of the finger locking themselves in the bets and uh you know losing money. I’m not wrong. Okay. Okay. Well, then again, I really hope Wolf, honestly, I don’t want I I don’t want to see My only thing is I know people in my life before sports betting became so easily accessible uh and therefore to me problematic. I used to have friends, you know, that were like with bookies and uh you know, the old school Vegas, Atlantic City. Uh yeah, like the old the old way like you had to make an effort and and to me that’s kind of how we were able to limit the damage of gambling. Not only amongst just regular people like you and me, Wolf, but as I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but now it’s starting to affect the athletes as well. More and more guys are getting caught because they’re now able to do things to affect outcomes of just small things like first pitch of the inning. Will it be a ball or a strike? People are out there betting on that one thing. And a pitcher who’s aware of that can take advantage of of that and go out there and purposefully throw a pitch in the dirt for ball one. And it’s it’s just it’s just bad. It’s just bad. There used to be a time where if you wanted to bet, you could still do it. It’s never been 100% illegal in America. You used to be able to bet if that’s what you really wanted to do, but you had to make the effort. And that’s how you had a nice balance. Because folks, it is an addiction. Gambling is an addiction. It is gambling. I know these sport betting sites with their advertising and everything, they want to make it all sound like just a bunch of fun and and and games. Uh it is uh it’s gambling and it’s an addiction. And again, if you want to do it like other addictions, it’s on you. But man, I’m not going to encourage it. I’m definitely not going to have any sponsors on this channel that advertise those things. And frankly, when people come into the chat and they start talking about their their bets, I tell them, you know, go somewhere else with that. Nobody else here cares. That’s the other thing. People get in these bets and they suddenly forget that the rest of the world doesn’t really care. They’re actually enjoying the game for the merit of the game and not for the bet that you might happen to have on it. You hear me? And and again, Wolf, I’m not talking directly to you. I’m just now commenting in general about the whole betting thing. It’s It’s just It’s done more harm than good that I can see, and it’s only going to get worse. Great. Now, by going off on that long monologue, I’ve allowed my cereal to get soggy. Chilo bets he’ll beat me at Yansi. All right, Sheila, let me let me chow down for like three minutes and then um we’ll play some yatsi. No, you’re fine, Wolf. Um, everything’s cool. I actually am I I really appreciate that you’re that you’ve got a pretty good attitude about it, you know, because uh very easily, you know, a person in your position and and me, you know, getting on my soap box and talking about sports betting could easily just tell me to go piss up a rope and you didn’t. So, I appreciate it. You seem like a good chap. So, uh, all’s good. All’s good. I will, uh, I will get off the soap box. I’m almost done with my bowl of cereal, folks. Hang in there. I know it’s very important. George is going to bet on the yatsi. Hey, Wolf, are you still there? Let me ask you something, man. And again, if if if you’re uncomfortable or like you feel like you’re getting a third degree or whatever, feel free to put the kaibos on this. But I’m just I’m curious. Well, before sports betting became, you know, just like a simple app on your phone, whatever it’s been, like 8 years now, however long it’s been, seven or six years, whatever it is before that started, and I think you said you were 35 or was that somebody else? Maybe I’m guessing. I don’t know. But do you did you used to play uh like just fantasy sports like fantasy football, fantasy baseball, rotisserie baseball, whatever you want to call it. Did you did you like join leagues and like buy into a league like like a cash league and like there’ be a prize and then if you win the league you you win you win something. Did you ever used to do that, Wolf? And if you did, do you still do it? Just curious. There is a point to it all. I’m not trying to set you up for something uh to dunk on you. Well, if you hear me. Well, I can’t really go on with my point without knowing. Tanya is here for the Yatsi. Look, should I just change the channel brand over the Yatsi channel? Almost done eating. So, you never played fantasy sports before the sports betting came along? You never got into a fantasy football league. That’s weird because I would assume for most people that that would be the natural like transition like oh well cuz here’s the deal. I used to write for NBC Sports and eventually uh I was ahead of the fantasy English Premier League soccer department and this is like in the late 20110s. um well mid mid to late 20110s and then you know I’m living over here in Thailand the whole time I get word that um they’re looking to start transitioning into making content around sports betting rather than just fantasy sports and living over here not really knowing about how sports betting was basically taking over. I mean, basically all the places that used to do fantasy content kind of switched to sports betting content because of of, you know, there’s just way more revenue to be found through uh betting versus just people who, you know, say get a Yahoo league. You’re not really paying the league anything. The money that you might spend is just money you throw in a pool and then somebody in your group wins the pool. I guess my point is folks to me that’s why I like fantasy sports because you can put a little bit of money on it but you you cap it at something. You’re sharing it amongst hopefully people you know and you know if you lose it’s just a buy in. You already know what you stand to lose and you can spend an entire season engaged with something and have something on the line something you want to win something akin to a bet. But it’s not like betting, you know? It’s just I think it’s a happy medium to get that fix if you’re the betting type. Oh, I know, Rod. Believe me, as a casualty, a former employee of NBC Sports that was let go because he I say he because I refused to start writing sports betting content. I told him I had an ethical issue with that. I said, ‘I had no problem giving out advice and analysis for people to help them with their fantasy teams, but I’m not going to do it for for betting. I’m not going. No, I’m not doing that. And uh you know you know in their very corporate way, they figured out a way to basically cut me loose without saying it because it was because of that. But that’s why I mean that’s that’s the only reason why. Hey, I’ll be right back, folks, and we’ll play some yatsi. All right, give me uh 1 This is great ice. Folks, welcome in for another night of rain delays. Rain delay yatsi. How you doing everybody? I’m your host BW here on the Orioles bird watcher channel. We’ve got a rain delay. The Orioles lead it 5 nothing. A game that’s in the bottom of the sixth. But for now, it’s time to play some yatsi. Why? Because it’s the hot new game that is sweeping the the nation. All the kids are doing it. There’s Tik Toks about it everywhere. There’s memes and all the other buzzwords of the 21st century that make me really, really, really miss the 20th century. All right, we’re going to head on over now. Uh, and uh, yeah, let’s get this open. I bet you Chilo is already sitting there in the room just waiting just drooling. Drooling right now. All right, we are in the arena, folks. And let’s see. Somebody named Chilo all the way to the left. That means Chilo has been waiting there forever. All right, we’re in. And we’re off. Sorry, Charm City chat. Sheilo has first roll and is going out with twos. All right, you can have that. You can have it. I’m going to go with something a little more adventurous. There we go. That’s better. Sheilo’s already confused. A one and a two. Okay. And now don’t keep the one or the two. Now keep a one with another one. That’s all right. Hell of a roll there, Chilo. Check out the big brain on bread. All right, I’ll take that. Just a full house right out the shoot. Balls in your court, Gilo. We going for threes now. Are we going to switch it up? Go for straights. Here we go. Going for that large straight. We going to get it. Oh, that hurts. That hurts. Not going to No cap. That hurts. I already got fives, but I’m going to go anyway. See, now I do this. Damn it. All right, that’s a bad roll. What are you going to do with that, Chilo? That’s a whole lot of nothing. What do you do with that? You keep the six and now you got squadouch. Now, what do you do? What? Where did that come from? You lucky. Get out of here. All right. Uh, I already got a small straight. I hate going for ones. I should probably go for the large straight, but whatever. Whatever. That was That was not an inspired turn on my part. Going for twos. No. One, two, one, two, three. Okay. It’s fun watching Chilo’s brain process play out. Uhoh, folks. Come on. Damn it. All right. All right. What do you got? Oh, you’ve already got twos. You’ve already got a small straight and you’ve already got a large straight, which makes this roll hot stinking garbage. He puts a three in. Now he keeps the twos. Where did these twos come from? All right. You want a nine and four of a kind? You can have it. Whoops. I didn’t mean to double click. That cost me a turn, but I survived anyway. Whatever. Even Even with a an error, BW is in control. What another bad roll, Chilo. He’s going for fours. Or is he? What’s he doing? He’s pulling stuff out of his butt is what he’s doing. What is this nonsense? All right. You know what I’m doing? I’m going like this. That did not work. Ah crap. Oh crap. Oh god. That was terrible. I put a zero in yatsi for my own punishment. That could cost me. That could come back to haunt me. I need some sixes. Yo. All right. There’s the twos. Didn’t really need more than two, so that’s fine. Uhoh. Oh no. Gilo, what’s happening, man? Oh boy. I’m going for it all. I’m going for it all. All right. We both got the same chance. Hey, there’s a large straight that you already have. Now, where did that come from? Uh-oh. Upper bonus is not Oh, one6 and we’re good. Oh, now what? I don’t like what I did there. I don’t like what I did there. I don’t like it. I might lose. I need three sixes or I’m toast. What is Chile doing? Wait. Think you’re gonna roll a a pair here? You’re gonna roll doubles? I can’t believe it. Come on. Out of nothing. Out of nothing. Making love out of nothing at all. You son of a I don’t believe it. Great roll. Great roll. Inspiring. Why are you saving Yatsi? What are the odds you’re going to roll a Yatsi on your last turn? What are the odds? You’re going to wind up losing because of that one move. Oh my god. If you get a yachti with these fives, give me a six. Give me more sixes. Come on. Come on. No. Plus eight. Oh my god. You won by one point. You won. All I needed was one more six. You won by one freaking point. No. I demand a recount. Unbelievable. Oh, don’t you all caps lol me, buster. Who do you think you are? All right, guns ablazing now, bud. Gloves are off. Damn it. What is this crap? Oh, I see what you did there, Wolf. I hope I at least got good odds. You can have your twos. I love how you put the two up to the top row as if that meant something. Let me move it up here for no reason. Look at this awful roll. What’s going on? Don’t get a big head, Chilo. You got lucky, man. Absolute luck. I had you dead to rights. What are you going to do? What are you waiting for? Christmas. That’s it. Use your chance up. You had your chance and you blew it. head. Yeah, go for ones. Even though you only really need one one, just go for them. Oh, we’re switching it up. You son of a All right. All right. All right. Oh, really? Really? Are you serious? Oh, where’d that come from? Huh? I’m going to Ah, gosh. It’s a nice three of a kind. I’m going to take the boat. I’m not happy about it. I’m not happy about it. If I get another cheap full house like the one Chilo just rolled, I’m going to be pissed. All right, let’s get these sixes now. Come on. Damn it. Darn this stuff. Hey, who can name that movie? Oh, a large straight right out the gate. Come on, man. I’m getting I’m getting crushed. I’m getting crushed. Oh god. It’s a nightmare. It’s a nightmare. It’s over. Anybody can name the movie quote even though it’s just a very little line. Darn this stuff. It’s a Oh, come on. I’m done. Technical difficulties. Sorry. Technical difficulties over here at Bird Watcher headquarters. Uh there seems to be a malfunction with my Yansy game. Hey, how about you play ja ding-dong? How about that, Chilo? Huh? Play ja ding-dong. Yeah, no table talk. Thanks. Now you were lucky. Get out of here. You stink. Ah, I knew I should have put a full house. Oh god, what a what a nightmare. It’s over. It’s already over. This game is over already. Even if I get up bonus and a large straight, it would it I’d have to get both. All right. I need I need to go on a run here. Come on. Give me some. Give me Okay, there you go. I needed that. I need another four of a kind with fives or sixes to get up for bonus. I needed that. All right, that’s a start. Chilo needs to whiff. What are you doing? Why did you say I want fours? No, I want fives. Was it that big of a difference? Now you get Why didn’t you put a one in the ones? Why not put a one in the ones and you’re still on pace? Oh god. How can I lose to somebody that doesn’t know what they’re doing? Now what? Now you go for ones. Fantastic. Ah, folks. Come on. Come on. Come on. I’m screwed. I’m screwed. Take your meaningless force. What are you doing? What are you thinking about? What’s there to think about? What are you doing? What did that do? So now you got one less four. All that to get a small straight, which is like the easiest thing to get in the whole damn game. You You made a giant sacrifice for nothing. And I’m losing to somebody with this kind of strata. Am I playing Tony Manscolino right now? Is this really Chile or is this Manolino? Oh boy, I’m going to lose. I’m going to lose to this. All because of a yatsi out of nowhere. Oh, there are the sixes. Hold on, folks. Don’t give up hope yet. Oh, look at this. Short on upper bonus by three. It’s over. It’s over, Johnny. Look at that again. Chilo can’t figure out what to do. There you go. Unbelievable. How am I losing to somebody who plays like this? Unbelievable. Congratulations, Sheilo. Oh, you got to get that four of a kind in ones. It’s vitally important. smoking me. You watch how he It’s It’s called luck. Are you going to offer me a rematch? You’re going to make me do it? I’m I have to grabble to you. Fine. I can’t I I’m hitting the button. It won’t even do it. You got to do it. It ain’t working for me. All right, I’ll be in the lobby if you need me. I can’t even I’m stuck. I’m stuck. I’m gonna have to refresh. My strategies are secret. Yeah, don’t tell anybody. Don’t make them worse. All right, bud. Let’s go. All right, folks. I’m going to show you what it’s like to be down two games to none in a Best of Seven World Series. what it takes to come back again. He starts with the twos, doesn’t realize he has fours, switches the two out for the fours, and then just trips backwards into a small straight. Do you see what I’m dealing with here? Do you see? No clue what’s going on. and I’m losing anyway. There you go. There’s a There’s some conviction. There’s some moxy from Chile. Oh my. Look at that. I’m glad the full house is out of the way because I don’t have to think about Ah, that sucked. Best five out of nine. Well, that’s old school World Series. We got to go back to like 1910 and 20s or odds and tens, four ones. All right, we got two twos. We got two threes. We’re going to go with for the twos is what we’re going to do. I know it’s crazy. Look at that. I know it’s crazy, but it’s true. When you get caught between the moon and New York City, the best that you can do, the best that you can do is fall in love. What you going to do, Chilo? You got threes already. What are you thinking? How? Please walk me through your brain process. Keep the five. Okay. Now what? When you get caught between the moon and New York City, large straight bud. The best that you can do. The best that you can do. Oh no. Chilo is just going down a spiral right now. Just What was that? What was the idea there? Oh no. See, now we’re seeing the real Chile. And now we’re seeing the real BW. That’s right. Now what? If you trade out those fours for sixes, if you don’t put a four in the twos. Okay, there you go. Oh, I’ll just take that. Put that there. Your turn. Chop. Chop. No rest for the weary. It’s your turn. All right. There’s your force. All right. Congratulations. When you get caught between the moon and New York City, there is an isolated thunderstorm in Baltimore. Yeah, it’s isolated over the ballpark, hence the rain delay. Oh, you got a nice little three of a kind there. Did you you think you’re hot stuff? Do you think you are hot stuff? I’m going to coast home with a victory. Look at this. You need a large straight. You need a yatsi. You need four of a kind. And even if you got four fives, you’re not going to get up a bonus. You’re screwed. You’re screwed. Oh, look at that. H nice chance. It’s over, Johnny. It’s over, Rock. Oh, Chilo. You might as well roll those twos. See what happens. There you go. There you go, buddy. Stop it all. This starting to look more like the kind of yachts I’m used to. The best that you can do. The best that you can do. Yep. What’s to think about, Chilo? What are you thinking about, man? Ah, short on upper. No, I got it. I got upper bonus. All right, we got it. It’s over, dude. It’s over. You’re not getting a yatsi. It’s not happening on the last turn. A yatsi. Really? Come on. What?

You’ve made several bad decisions. Oh, he’s got box cars, folks. He’s got box cars. And he’s got squadouch. Squadoo. Oh, BW is going on a run now. The best that you can do. The best that you can do. Oh, look at that roll. What are you going to do? That’s like That’s like getting do seven off suit in Texas. Hold them. Oh, you’re going to get a four. You’re just going to magically roll a four? Really? And when you don’t get it, what do you do? You get a bad chance. Gh. Chileo. Chileo. Chileo. Whatever am I going to do with you? Look at that roll. Did you like how I did that? Did you like that? Chilo. What’s happening, bud? What happened to the chilo? That was uh you know. All right. I had a bad roll. I had a bad roll. We got any updates on this rain, folks? Hey, Chilo. I’m going to take a peek over here for a sec. Okay. six minutes ago. This is what the sky looks like. Uh, all right. We’ll check back in. What did you get? Small street. Oh, look who’s got box cars, baby. Box cars. Uh, I’ll take it there. Uhoh. Five alive. Uhoh. Uhoh. Wait. You think you got something going on? I can do fives. You can play at that game. Look at this.

You’re going to go for the big one. Ah, you threw five points away by rolling the second one. Oh, man. You just five points in the toilet. You don’t really see that. He’s going for threes, folks. And he’s got squadouch. He’s gonna just punt on upper bonus again. I guess your approach to upper bonus is an interesting one. I got to admit, when you get caught between the moon and New York City, folks, anybody ever been caught there? Oh, the four. No, the one three four five and And yeah, not as easy as it used to be there, huh? Oh my. Where’d that roll come from? I’m plus six up top. That means I only need two twos and two fours for upper bonus. Let’s roll one of each. And I don’t get either. Unbelievable. What are the I mean, really, we’re done with that song next. Hey, Queen. Tell you what, start up a YouTube channel. Start playing the AI and sing songs and I’ll go over there and listen to you. You pick the music. I love when people talk on everybody else’s behalf, too. We’re done with that song. We’re done. I I’m confidently uh speaking on everybody else’s behalf here to say that we are done, all of us, with that song. All right. Clearly, somebody here has never been caught between the moon and New York City. Because if you had What happened to that upper bonus, Chilo? That was That was kind of sad the way that just kind of petered out up there, didn’t it? I’d say we’re heading for a 22 series. Ah, hello. Uh, King King Tony. Tony and Tanya. That’s a big old goose. There’s a lot of goose eggs up here, Chila. What’s that all about? I still get upper bonus. No problem. Let’s take a look at this final score, shall we? Yep. Just your basic 95 point victory. Just your basic 95 point win. There was talk not long ago something about I’m getting smoked. I remember something saying something about smoking. Chilo, no more invites. Tila, why your little avatar? It’s frowning. Why? Why is it frowning? I got a I got a big old smile on my face. All right, here we go, folks. Here we go. Oh, we’re going to go for that straight right now. Give me that five. Give me that five. Damn it. All right, Gilo’s keeping up with the Joneses, folks. That’s nice. It’s always nice to get 24 and sixes. Always nice. And there’s your threes. Uh, let’s see. Let’s go with this. And then we’ll flip it up to there. And then settle for that. That did not work. Uhoh. Uhoh. Oh boy. All right. Uhoh. Box cars. They’re turning out of town. Uhoh, folks. West is that way. Oh no. Oh no. Oh god. Four. Four. Four. Four. Folks. Let the clutch out gently. Okay. Upper bonus is looking good. Oh no. Dagger. Dagger. All right. All right. You know what? I’m going for the same damn thing. Damn. It just only would give me ones. Okay, whatever. I tried. I had to. I got to get that large straight now. Meanwhile, Chilo Chilo, were you the architect of the Tacoma Narrow’s Bridge by any chance? Uh, I’ll take the boat. Sixes. Sixes. Oh god, you’re so lucky, dude. You’re so lucky. You don’t even have to depend on strategy when they just sit here rolling yachts. I I thought I didn’t have fours. You know what? Now you got me flustered. I I thought I didn’t have fours already. I just wasted that turn. Just wasted that turn. Unbelievable. I’m going to lose. I got to get I got to get this large straight. I gotta Come on. There it is. Okay. Okay. We’re back in We’re back in the game. We’re back in the game. He See, this is why you’re a bad gambler, Wolf. You haven’t won nothing yet, even in your imaginary pretend bet. Cuz now look, now look what’s happened. Upper bonus for him. Meanwhile, Meanwhile, look at this. I am plus nine in upper bonus. So, I only need six points up here to get an additional 35 points. Plus, I’ve got 28 and four of a kind. I’m really the one leading this right now. Uh, well, believe it or not, just going to keep the two and go that way. Okay. Yep. Upper bonus locked in just like that. Oh, that’s a pretty damn good. Well, what are you going to do? Full house or three of a kind? Wow. You’re going to pass up the full house when you can get three of a kind in any kind of number. Unbelievable. Okay. Okay. Now, if you get four fives, oh my god, four of a kind, it’s still If you get like 25 points or more, you might still win this damn thing. He’s got three fours. I don’t believe it. I win. I win. That’s right. By just seven points. I knew what I needed. I knew what I needed. So, somebody was saying something about BW getting smoked. I recall. Hey, Chilo. How about that? Huh? What did I say? I said, I’m going to show you guys how to come back in a series when you’re down two games to none. What did BW say, the king of yatsi? Folks, yatsi poker games like this. Look, it’s they’re the they’re the sort of games where, you know, you play somebody who might be a little bit more of a novice and they’re still going to win their share of games because, you know, it’s a percentage of luck combined with a percentage of skill and strategy. I just happen to be in the top 1 percentile of the strategy side of things. I can only hope that my luck will help me out on any given contest. But yeah, that was another clinical victory. Tanya, you’re not going to you’re not going to take on BW. What happened to the MLB game? Uh well, I tell you, first it started with all these uh performance enhancement drugs that the players started taking and then, you know, once they started uh the contract started getting out of control and and pitchers started throwing too hard and then throwing their arms out and then they brought in like the pitch clock and Oh, you mean what happened to the MLB game today. I thought you meant in general, Edward, see what I was doing? I was giving you a uh we’re in a rain delay and uh last I saw there was a photo on Rock Kabotco’s Twitter from about 15 minutes ago and uh it looked like oh about 19 minutes ago it looks like the rain has passed and the darker parts of the sky are moving north up the street there toward the Bromo Seltzer Tower. Hey folks, folks, we still got rain here near the tower. You want to take cover? Uh yeah, folks. Oh, are you looking at my uh Yeah. Okay. All right. Is that wrap? Is that wrap it up then? Are we done? We done with the yatsi. Call the game. This is not safe. Shut up. Chris Mariners losing. Lol. I really wish they had just call the game. I could have gone to sleep. Who’s this? Who’s an? Hey, anybody want to see me beat up on a random named Ann? Go Ann. Oh, somebody said call the game. Oh, call the game. This is not safe. What do you mean this is not safe? Shut up. That’s not not any more dangerous than the car you got in to drive to the ball game. What do you safe? Oh, look at that. Yeah. Hi to you. I got a yachtsi. Snake eyes. What you think about that? Yeah, you better applaud me. I deserve applause. What are you doing? Dancing around. Of course, as soon as I’m done playing Chilo, I roll a yatsi right out of right out of the chute. Yeah. Card uh after it depends on who’s winning and who’s uh at home versus the road. But yeah, this game can be called now. It can be the Mariners. If the Mariners were, if it was still the top half of the inning and the inning had started but not finished, the Mariners would be able to say, “Well, you can’t call the game because we haven’t had a chance to finish our at bats.” Uh, but as the team ahead, us up to hitting the bottom half of the inning, we can just be like, “Look, we’re ahead. This is a six inning game. Call it and let’s go home. Ann risked it. Got the large. I wasn’t even noticing. Did Ann pull off something nice? Chilo, you starting to pick up on some strategy here. There’s it’s it’s not there’s not there’s not a whole lot to it, but there are some things you just gota you got to do. You got to prioritize certain things. You got to leave yourself open for a second option if something doesn’t roll right for you. There’s things you can do. See, like right here, perfect example. Like, yeah, I need fours. So, I got two of them. You might look at this board and go, “Oh, well, I got two of these, so let’s go there.” But I don’t have a small straight or a large straight yet. I got the small straight guaranteed already in my hand, and now I got two rolls to get the large versus try to get another four. Now, if these were sixes, maybe I’d think different, but uh we’re going to go for that two. And there it is. Boom. You see? You see what I’m talking about? Decisions uh statistics. What you going to do? Ann was probably confused like why was here’s another one. Like this is another interesting one. I am not even though I’m sitting here with a small straight in my hand. I’m going to go for threes. I might get a full house if I go for threes. I might get the threes that I still need right now. But what I do know is that a small straight is very easy to get and I got a lot of rolls left to get it. So, why just settle for a small straight? Now, if I go for threes, I’ve got one I I could I could get threes. I could get a full house. I could still wind up with a small straight. You know, it’s just uh these are the things you got to know. So, now I got my threes and I’m telling you, I can’t remember the last time I finished a game with a zero and small straight. It’s the easiest thing to get. You get it without even trying. I shouldn’t have made that last. I mean, you have to in order to maybe get a double yatsi, but I probably should have kept three fives, rolled the other one, and try to get the full house. That was a mistake. Uh-oh. And with a nice four of a kind there. Uhoh. Things are getting saucy here. Yeah, sometimes, you know, you could be faced with the same dice and the same squares open, but depending on what part of the game you’re in, you choose one over the other. I I’ve I’ve been calcul like right now I’m going to go for a full house knowing that if I blow it at least I got something in chance and their chance isn’t very good. So yeah, it’s going to be a crappy chance but I’ve already got a yatsi. I’m trying to get a full house. I’ve already got two pair like that. That was a chance to go for it and I took my chance, but I had a backup in case I didn’t get it. Whereas they just zeroed. There’s your small See, there’s the small straight. There’s the small straight that I didn’t have to even work for. There it is. Right. You see now I only need two fours here. You want that upper bonus, Chilo. Do you want that up bonus? That’s a big need fours. All right, good to go. More than good to go. And this game is over and has been thoroughly defeated. Goodbye, Ann. Full house. All right. I guess you keep the pair. And yeah, that’s fine. That’s fine. That’s a decent game. 285 points. Another 90 point win for BW. All right. I’m I’m a little bit yachtsied out. Oops. I didn’t want a rematch. I wanted to go back here. Blind man. I want to play blind man. You got a braille version of this game. How can he possibly win? Oh crap. Now see. Oh boy. Always take a one of the ones in a situation like that in a bad roll. If you get a zero for ones, don’t put a zero. A one in the ones is infinitely better than a zero in the ones. Why? Because any other kind of four of a kind will make up for it. Even four of a kind and twos, you’re back on track with nine points between ones and twos. See, watch. I’m going to go for twos right now. If I get that fourth two, well, never mind. I got a boat. But otherwise he put it in in chance. Uh that’s a chance. You take that. This is a chance that I hope turns into Well, now I’m going to go back this way and just take that. I’m still minus four, but I need I still need four of a kind anyway. But instead of needing four of a kind from any of three, fours, fives, or sixes, I’m still leaving it open for fours, fives, or sixes. So the options I’m still leaving open. There is the sixes I need. Put that in there. Now I’ve made up for the losses up here. Back on track. Yachi lessons, folks. Learn how to play Yatsi with BW. All right, you go for threes. You got your threes. Boom. Now you’re + 9 – 4. So plus five. Now I can miss a four or a five. I can miss a four or a five. And that gives me more uh ways to bail out of some other things. See, there’s my fours. I got them already. And yeah, two fives and I got up a bonus. You got a name for Trevor Rogers? Like a new nickname? We’ve been working on it. What do you got? Come on, Matt. This better be good. This better be good. And I see right here, this is an interesting one. I don’t have a straight yet. If I went for fours, it’d be worth it if I got the four of a kind. But if I got stuck with three of a kind, it’s kind of a crappy three of a kind. But I I have to do it. I have to do it. There you go. And now you got a chance at Yatsi. It’s not the best four of a kind, but you take it. I hate superhero movies in general. I just hate the whole comic book universe, cinematic universe thing where you’re supposed to give a damn about 37 different movies in order to follow one story line. It’s just a gimmick to make you pay for every dumb movie anyway. Uh but in general, no. Uh but there’s exceptions. There’s some movies out there that are superhero movies, I guess, that uh I like, sure. But uh in general, not a fan of the genre. No. What you going to do, blind man? Those fives aren’t really going to help you. You’re going to have to get over the fact that those fives aren’t going to help you, blind man. Do something. There you go. Well done. That was quite the time taken for your brain to figure something out. Ah, that wasn’t a very good roll. Oh, did he have a straight? Well, he had his chance and he blew it. Neither of us have a large straight. Game might come. See, now look. I’m not going to keep those twos just for I’m rolling the whole damn thing. I roll the whole thing and look at the reward I get. Huh? God, I’m good. It pays to be the best. Oh my god, he just got a large straight, too. What a ball game. Okay, one more six should do the trick. I got screwed. Uh, they’re not going to get upper bonus, are they? They No, they are. They’re going to get upper bonus. I have to get three of a kind. I’m going to lose. I’m plus two up top, minus one with their chance. And they’re plus eight. I’ve lost already. Wow, they beat me. Blind man is good. That sucks. That sucks a bag of you know whats. Damn, man. Damn. I tell you what, I won’t give you a chance to enjoy it. Sorry. Wow. So that four of a kind. Damn. He got a 26 and four of a kind. He really killed it, man. Upper bonus. 24, 26, and another 24. You bastard. Uh, is baseball back? I want to go to bed. I could have taken like a I might run down to the store. You know what I need to do? I need to I need to I need to send a text to somebody. So, we’re going to have you look at me here while I do something back over here. How many folks are chilling? 54. Okay. Will you still need me? Will you still feed me when I’m 54? Uh, I guess I really can’t answer that. Uh, I’m gonna take a gamble and run down to, you know, I’m really going to be mad if they wind up just calling the game. And but at the same time, it’s really what they ought to just do. What do they God? I guess since the Mariners are losing, they’re probably the ones that are really clamoring to keep playing. They’re they’re game behind the Astros. They want a chance to get back and win this. Uh but damn, we got to go to Houston. I think Seattle only has to like go up to New York or something tonight. We got to go all the way to Houston. Um I think I’m going to go get some snacks. Probably a coffee because it looks like I’m not going to go back to bed tonight. Just going to be up through the night again. What is the Houston schedule? 40 something games to go, folks. I I I am feeling the dog days of August. I am. I am not happy about how the season’s going. And I would give anything to be playing in October and get up and call more games at 3 in the morning or whatever time it needs to be in order to keep playing in October. But knowing that we’re not going to, I am now looking forward to uh the 6 months of regular sleep patterns and enjoying normal time awake at and in the daytime and asleep at night and all that stuff. Uh, so tomorrow night 8:10 first pitch, Saturday night 710, and then Sunday uh 2:10. So just run that back 15 minutes. Uh, it’s the Orioles are up to hit now, Fitz. So, they can call it. The Mariners already had their chance in the top half and the game was already The Orioles are already ahead. It’s not like we took the lead in this inning. They got their shots in the top half. It’s the bottom half of the inning. We’re up and we’re already ahead. They can call the game. They can call the game, but again, the Mariners have more of a reason to want to keep playing than we do because they’re in the losing position. And hey, they’re in a pinup chase. We’re not. Uh, how you doing, Fitz? Hey, Fitz, you want to play some yatsi? You want to check in with the gatekeeper, Fitz? It’s been a while. Folks, you guys know my buddy Thomas Fitzpatrick, right? Sorry, Charm City chat. Sorry. He’s got a YouTube channel as well. Does Playbyplay uh Bruins, Red Sox, and Patriots, right? As the main uh main things. I’m going to go down and get some snacks. And by snacks, I mean coffee and some coconut custard. I think sounds good. That’s why I said that because it says top six on the scoreboard. Oh, my scoreboard. Well, that’s the last thing you should trust. Thought we were up to bat. Weren’t we hitting when this game was was Oh, you know what? Oh, you’re right. Oh, you’re right. I’m sorry. I’m stupid. Yeah, cuz Sagana was on the mound and he started like delaying and hemming and hawing and trying to stall to make the umpires put the tarp out. So, yeah, the Mariners were up to hit. Damn it, Sagano. See, now that completely reverses my opinion about all this. Sagano should have just bucked up and hurried up and gotten through that inning and then we would have been done. So, yeah, they can’t call this game. I’ve been saying they could call it now. Fitz, first of all, I apologize. Sorry, Fitzy. Sorry. Sorry, Charm City chat. Sorry, Fitzy, for still here. Sorry, Charm City chat. Sorry. These are These are the perils of calling games at 3 in the morning. Sorry, Charm City chat. Sorry. Oh, Sagano. Why did you want to stall? Why did you want to Why? No. in that situation with a fiveun lead. Hurry up, get through the inning, and then we can call the game. Well, yeah, I I mean, yeah, I get it. I just I I for whatever reason, I thought we were up to hit. That’s what screwed up everything. If in my mind we’re up to hit, then everything else I’m saying about the situation is inaccurate because again with these rain delays and and suspending games, uh the rules apply depending on the situation and uh I was wrong about the situation. Yeah. uh forgetful and exhausted. But I can’t I can’t just lean on that as an excuse though, right, Froggy? Because I signed up for this just like everything else. I can’t complain about the hours. I can’t I can only say I’m tired every so often or whatever because uh hey, I I’m the one that chose to live 12 time zones away and still try to cover Orioles baseball. It’s on me. I can’t complain too much. But it’s still true. I’m exhausted. Uh, I’m going to run down while I still can. I think we got time. If for some reason the game picks back up before I get back, first of all, sorry. And second of all, here’s the screen you’re looking at. And I’m going to go ahead and refresh that in-game scoreboard. now. And hopefully you see it. That’s where we were. I guess it was a excuse me, a 1-1 count on uh it was a 1-1 count on Julio Rodriguez when this game uh got the tarp thrown out. So, uh Froggy, you’re here. Michael, you’re here. Matt, you’re here. Uh, if you guys don’t mind, I’ll probably be 15 minutes, maybe every five minutes or not even necessary that for that if there’s not a whole lot of chatter, but you know, once every page of the te of the text on the chat, if you can just say something to the effect of rain delay, BW will be back shortly would be great. All right, thank you folks. I’ll be back in a little bit. Ohoy crew members. We met a strange friend in the Chesapeake Bay. Oh boy. Oh boy. It’s bacon. Oreos. Magic. Something magic happens. You feel it in the air, folks. I made a giant mistake. I made two big mistakes. Mistake one, going out at 3:30 in the morning for coffee. Uh, no. But I ate a lot of food last night, so I have to, you know, I had cereal, too. Remember? Were you not here when I had a bowl of cereal? But I do have the custard. I got my drink. Um, what was I going to say? I forgot. I don’t know. Any updates? Oh, yeah. My uh 7-Eleven here at 3:30 in the morning or anytime from like 2:00 a.m. to like 7 a.m. Um, it’s so different than any other time of day when I go there. Anything you need takes five times longer. Even though there’s 20% of the customers, there’s 200 times more time needed to do things. Uh where are we at here? Uh let’s see here. Huh? What? Uh we have not had an update. I’m telling you, this photo from an hour ago, I thought looked like that. And we’re ready to go. Uh, Orio’s official Twitter says, “Nothing since an hour ago.” Damn. Yeah. An hour ago, a photo that said, “Brief downpour already led up, sky clearing. Tarp already coming off the field.” That was an hour ago. Oh, but then tarp is back on anticipating another downpour. All right. So, either way, obviously, the starters are done tonight. They’re not going to bring the starters back out. Sagano’s finished. Uh he will finish mid batter on Julio Rodriguez. Tony goes Tony Tommyuki goes five and a third. He is responsible for runner at first base one out. Gave up three hits in a walk, struck out two. Uh he was in line for a quality start, but it won’t go down in the books that way. He has to go six and they’re not going to bring him back out after a delay this long. Oh my god. Projected. Can we somehow have a conversation not in gambling speak? Is it possible to talk about baseball without a gambling tiein? It is possible, right? Forget about projections. Sorry. Here I go again. What is this? What if they do bring him? They’re not because you don’t let a pitcher sit for an hour plus. You understand the concept of getting your arm warmed up and it being loose and then you’re out there throwing and then you understand why they put like ice on their arm or like like once they’re done p like Wolf you honestly gamble on baseball and you don’t understand why a pitcher doesn’t come back out after like an hour long delay or more. But if they’re winning anyways, what’s the point of switching? Uh, it’s biology. I guess it’s how your body works. I don’t know. I I guess it’s the same reason like right after you climax with your partner, you probably can’t do it again like two minutes later. You gotta shut it down for a little while. I don’t know. Uh yeah. Uh yeah, don’t gamble on baseball, please. Please. All right. I mean, honestly, Matt, help me out here, man. If you if Yeah. I mean, there have been pitchers like without a rain delay that because their offense went up to hit for like a 40inut stretch, like a 40minute inning. That pitcher, the manager goes, “You know what? I’m just I’m actually going to go to the pin now cuz you’ve been out of the game for too long. your arm is uh you know no longer loose and uh putting you back out there would probably do more harm than good. Same thing with a rain delay. Um you just he can’t be inactive for so long. Um and then go back out there again. He’s done. He’s done. All right. Uh, what is this? Could I bother looking at the news feed? Anything blow up today or anything? Any anything stupid? All right. Uh, what else? We are down to I say down to we got almost 70 people chilling folks. What would we have? What would we do? What should we be doing right now? I’m sipping coffee and yeah, it was a mistake cuz my I didn’t realize how tired I felt until I went down there and waited for this coffee and then I’m like I’m bad. Caffeine can only do so much for your body before your body is fine. Like, you know, you can’t just fake energy, dude. You need to just close your eyes and go to sleep. And that’s what my body is trying to tell me right now. Do they void rain delay props? Is this another betting question? Oh boy. Nobody up until like 2019 or whatever, I never had to hear somebody bring up the word props unless they were talking about the sketch from Whose Line Is It Anyway? Oh, you just Yeah, props. Yeah. At the prop prop bets. Props. Props. Oh, this photo is from one minute ago. One minute ago. And the tarp is off the field, folks. Taking you live right now to my desktop screen. So, you can see this. That is the view of the ballpark one minute ago. And here’s somebody saying, “No way Sigano comes back out, right?” LOL. Everybody’s funny. So, there you go. The tarp is over there getting folded up. The infield, you can already see some dry, splotchy areas. I’d say 20 minutes from this point countdown. So, we’re looking at what uh it’s coming up on f I’d say five o’clock Eastern. Maybe five after somewhere in that neighborhood. Then we’ll get back underway. That’s still 20 25. Can I lay down for like 10 minutes? It’s a dangerous proposition. If I were to try to lay down for 10 minutes, I might not wake back up. Even if I set an alarm. You don’t know some of these guys. I don’t know some of these guys. Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? I am no one to be trifled with. Uh Chilo, you still around? I don’t have anybody else uh trying to take me on for some yatsi. I’ll I’ll try another get another game in. Smoke a lucky. Play some yatsi. Bring in who are you? Who are you? I need a challenger. Who are you to challenge me? Who are you? I have no one to be trifled with. Okay, let me explain. No, no, there is too much. Let me sum up. The princess is going to marry Humper Dink in little less a half an hour. So, who are you? Fitz, why don’t you challenge me, bud? Come on, Fitz. You know you wanna Fitzy, who are you? Who are you? Fits. Fits. Fits. Fits. Who are you? I gotta go find a pair of socks. My feet are cold. Oh, nice. Fitz is coming in. All right, let me open up the yachts here. I’ll be in the uh I’ll be in the old uh whatchamacallit, the uh the the waiting room. All right. We’ve got a challenge. Fitzy wants to take on BW. This is a uh a YouTube playbyplay channel special collaboration event as Fitzy is working his way on making an avatar. I guess I’m the guy named BW Fitz, the handsome chap with the blonde hair. Be Ferrroni. I know that’s you. Why did you cancel your invitation, you schmuck? Where’d you go? Come back, Fitz. I was about to accept your challenge and then you backed out. I know your beeferon. There you are. You just disconnected. What are you doing, Fitz? There he is. Here it is, folks. Me and Fitzy underway. Yatsi. Let me get my button ready here. Sorry, Charm City chat. Sorry. And we’re off. Fives. Fives. Do I hear fives? Folks, we’ve got fives. Your turn. Whenever you’re ready, fits. Oh my god. He rolled a large straight right out of the gate on the first roll of the game and he threw it away. Come on, Fitz. You still got one more roll. Go for threes. All right, you just rolled again. By the way, when you want to keep an a dice, a die, you got to click on the die and it’ll move it down to where you’re keeping it. Anything else you don’t keep, you click in the area and you’re rolling again. Fitz rolled a large straight and threw it away. M I tell you what, folks. All right, Fitz is going to go on a run now. What’s he going to do? He’s got sixes. Oh boy, that’s just a big old nothing there. Hit the bricks, pal. You’re done. Fours. Four. Four. Oh, Fitz. This is looking ugly, dude. What is this? Great. You got some ones. You’ll go far with that. You will go far. Meanwhile, upper bonus is locked in. Oh, there he goes. He’s changing it up. Wait, didn’t he have one more roll? You could have rolled one of the fours and gone for the large straight. Didn’t he have one more roll? What are you doing? What are you doing, Yatsi? Oh, it’s over, man. I’ve already got 50. I’ve already got 60 points up top. Oh, you didn’t have one more roll. Okay. All I need is one three or a two or two twos and upper bonus locked in. I can now turn my attentions to the bottom half of the card. Oh no, Fitz. He’s already used his chance. Oh no, upper bonus not happening for Fitz. Now’s the time to think about Well, change it up. Shake it up. Oh, that was a bad loss of points. Trying to go for four of a kind. Wind up losing about eight points. Three is a magic number. Yes, it is. All right, check it out. I’m keeping a two and a three. And now I’m going for twos. All right, upper bonus officially locked in. Now about that large straight. Oh, we are on our way. We are on our way. There it is. Uh-uh. Baltimore, you are seeing history being made today. Hit the bricks, pal. You’re done. You get nothing. You lose. Good day, sir. How about this? Peace dope. Now get the hell out of here. I don’t know, Fitz. It’s not looking good. Not looking good. I apologize for Baltimore. I apologize for Baltimore. Oh, what was that about? I don’t know what Fitz is thinking. It’s over, Rock. You’re going to need a yatsi and a large straight and more help. And you got squadouch. Oh, fits. I would not put this game on your demo reel. How about a little yatsi, folks? Bacon. Bacon. Where’s the bacon? I smell bacon. Bacon. Bacon. Got to be bacon. Only one thing smells like bacon. That’s bacon. Bacon. Bacon. Bacon. There. From that bag. What’s it say? I can’t read. Please. Please. Give me what’s in the bag. Chewy. Yummy. Smoky bacon. Here you go. Oh boy. Oh boy. No. It’s bacon. No, it’s bacon strips. Brand dog snack from Pyina. Bacon strips. Dogs don’t know it’s not bacon. It’s bacon. Uh. I’ll take that. Fitzy, this was a massacre. I got a yachtsi. I got my large straight. I’ve got upper bonus. I’ve got 110 up top. Tier 40. I’ I’ve outscored you by 70 up top. Oh, and he pulls a yatsi out of thin air. And look at this roll. There you go. Look at that. That’s going to be a That’s going to threaten 300 points right there. That score is going to be over 300 points. To get over 300 points without a double yatsi basically means a perfect card. You got upper bonus. You got four of a kind. You got your full house, your large straight, your yatsi, the whole shebang. And uh yeah, that should be about a 310 point score. I’m going to guess that’s right, Chilo. And this one was a Boston Massacre. Sorry, Charm City chat. All right, final score 325, folks. That’s like bowling at 300. I’m telling you right now. Sorry, Charm City chat. All right, that was an annihilation, Bits. I could have spotted you an extra 140 points. Sorry, Charm City chat. Sorry. Sorry, Charm City chat. Sorry. Booyah. Orioles Twitter said five. So, nine more minutes. That’s time for one more game. Who’s in? Or should I sit here and watch Chileo play uh Fitzy? I guess I can’t. Oh, Chilo’s in the uh Oh, real BW fan now. I think this is George. I think I’ve figured out that this is George. This is the guy who has never officially made themselves known, but they’re a real fan. And I think it’s George, so we’ll just go with that. All right, George. I get to call you that because you’re not going to tell me who you are. And I’m off to a decent start. Let’s go, pal. Take your ones. And oh my, you’re going to keep one six and throw away three ones. Are we regretting that decision? I think we are. I’m going to keep a five and see what happens. What do you think about that, George Castanza? 232. Why would you What? You had a full house. What? What? What are you just You’re just taking the piss. You’re just taking the piss because you had a bad first roll and now you’re just goofing around. I got you. That’s all right. See, what are you doing? What are you doing throwing those fours back? Are you serious? What are you doing, folks? What are we watching right now? I don’t know, but I’m gonna go for threes. Whoops. I’m all right. I’m all right. Don’t nobody worry about me. You’ve got to give me a fight. Why can’t you just let me be? I’m all right. Don’t nobody worry about me. What you got, bud? Are you You’re rolling some decent You’re rolling some decent uh dice here, man. I’m all right. Nobody Nobody worry about me. You know what? I’m going to take a bad chance because my four of a kind is so good. I can afford it. Plus, your three of a kind stinks. Listen to your whole heartbeating. Oh, heartbeating. Oh, heartbeating. Oh, heartbeating. I’m all right. Don’t nobody worry about me. You’ve got to give me a fight. Why can’t you just let me be? I’m all right. I’m all right. By the way, it’s 4:00 a.m. over here. Nice chance. Hey, a nice hat. Should come with a free bowl of soup, huh? All right, that was kind of a wasted roll. Hey, don’t you worry what I’m doing there, buddy. Hey, this is my buddy Wang. No offense. Yeah. Here. Here. Park my car. And uh eat something for Christ’s sake. All right. Uh uh I’ll put a zero on the Yatsi. Okay. If you get lucky and get a yachti in your last couple of rolls here, then more power to you. You want some Michael McDonald on me. You are the magic. You’re right where I want to be. Both. You keep the spirit alive. You all the magic. Oh, look at that large straight. You’re finished. See you. Flush them, folks. down the drain. We’re done. Doesn’t matter what I do with these fives. Doesn’t matter. I didn’t get upper bonus. Doesn’t matter. I win. I’m all right. Another victory for me, folks. I lost the first two games to Chile. By my count, I think I’ve run off about five in a row, taking on all comers. Uh, please don’t clip that into its own. Oh, you’re the king. Really? You’re the king? Here, here’s here’s my response. You’re the king. Okay. I’m the king. I am the captain now. I am the captain now. You want a rematch or what, bud? What’s up? I got another lucky I can smoke before this game gets going. Here it is. Rematch. I’ll get over you. I know I will. I’ll pretend my ship’s not sinking and I’ll tell myself I’m over you cuz I’m the king of wishful thinking. Hey, by the way, that song sucks balls. It’s a terrible song. What are you supposed to do? Are you supposed to dance to that song? Are you supposed to bop your head? riding down the street in your car to that song. Is it like a song to play while you’re cleaning the house? I mean, no situation. Is that song good? It’s a crappy song. Oh, we got the game back up. It’s from Pretty Woman. Thank you. Thank you for making it even more clear that it’s a shitty song. That’s a terrible song. King of wishful think. I mean, first of all, just the title of that song is cringe. I’m the king of wishful thinking. It’s awful. I’ll pretend my ship’s not sinking because I’m the king of wishful thinking. It is awful. It is awful lyrics. It’s an awful like that like 1989 1990 weird pop music era of like right said Fred and the Deinals and like you know like da da da like all these just like weird mo just songs that didn’t fit in any era or genre. And that was one of those songs. Uh Rico Garcia looks like he’s going to pitch for the Orioles. Not Sagano. Fitzy beat you. You guys played headtohead. This game’s about to get started, folks. We got to hurry up. Uh real BW fan. You got to like hurry, hurry, hurry. Rico Garcia is taking his warm-up pitches right now. We are working quickly, folks. Baseball is almost back, but Yatsi is on right now. Rico Garcia, Mets, Yankees, and now the Orioles. Second appearance for us. Yeah, folks. I’m telling you, king of wishful thinking. That makes like waiting for a star to fall sound like a like a hip song. Waiting for a star and car into my arms. That’s where you belong. In my arms, baby. Yeah. Or like Amy Grant. What was the Amy Grant? Uh what was her songs? Every heartbeat there’s his name. Oh yeah, baby. Baby, I’m thinking about emotion. Stop for a minute. Oh god, this gh VH1 nausea. All right, folks. Baseball is back. Legamina. Lego Mania. I don’t know what this guy’s name is. Oh, wait a minute. I’ve already got ones. Well, I don’t care. We got to get back, folks. Okay, I concede. We got to get back to this, folks. Hello. We are underway. Rico Garcia on the mound. Julio Rodriguez with a one andone count after this game went uh to a rain delay. Where am I? Where the hell am I? Here I am. And now the count is one and two as Garcia’s first pitch is swung on and missed. So Garcia picking up where Sigano left off. And does that satisfy our betting friend here today now that you have confirmation? Sigano not coming back out. Now will you believe me when I say things? Do you believe in me? The one two to Rodriguez is low and away. Two and two. Like what am I going to sit here and like make up some nonsense? Sagano ain’t coming back. Hey folks, there is maybe like a thousand people left in the ballpark. 22 fouled away. We’ll do it again. Again, Sagano goes five in a third innings, but he still has somebody out there. That’s his responsibility. First base with one out. That is Sagano’s base runner. At most, he’ll give up that one run. Hopefully, it’ll be nothing. This ball’s hit out to right center. This could be trouble. And that ball bounces into the bleachers in right. Wow. Why couldn’t we just call this game? Well, you made me sit here for two hours. My eyelids are burning trying to get some sleep. I’m playing yatsi just to stay awake so I can come back and watch one batter make it a five to2 ball game. Unbelievable. Julio Rodriguez two-run homer to the opposite field. It’s five to2. And Sagano will get charged with a run. That’s it for him though. The other run obviously goes to Garcia, the man who gives up the home run ball. Here’s Palano. The count 0 and one. There’s a nice spot, a slider up and in on Palanco. It’s 0 and2. Oh, folks, BW is just the king of wishful thinking. That’s all. That one is lowing in. Don’t you understand how important it is for the Orioles to play games and lose so they can get a better draft? I’m You know, I’m done with the better draft pick thing. I I I don’t buy it. I really don’t buy it. Swinging a miss. That’s a strikeout of Palano. Two down. Here’s the Again, this is not the NBA and it’s not even the NFL. It’s unless you’re talking about first of all who is the next year’s number one over like who is right now next year’s uh Ethan or Holiday or or who’s uh Paul Skins like it would take I mean it’s only somebody like a Paul Skins you would bother doing this like losing on purpose. I I I don’t buy it. When was Gunnar Henderson drafted, folks? When was Gunnar Henderson drafted? He was a compensation pick. He was a post first round, pre-sec round pick. Once you get past the first couple of picks in any given draft, it is a real crapshoot. It really is. I mean, your odds are better obviously with the higher picks, but after I mean, if you’re talking about like 100% going to be a stud allstar right out of the gate, minimal minor league training or preparation necessary. Just This is a base hit into center field for Suarez. It’s a two out single with the bases empty. Garcia gives up another hit. Yeah, I’m not I’m not buying this. And plus, as ownership, why would they say, “Hey, we’re I would fire a GM immediately for saying, “Hey, you know, I know this team that’s won 96 games on average the last two seasons. We’re expected to make the playoffs again and hopefully make a deeper run.” Can zone first pitch swinging a diving attempt by Johnson in center and he makes the catch. A shoestring grab by Daniel Johnson right off the carpet to end the inning. The Mariners score two on a homer by Julio Rodriguez. Rico Garcia did not look too sharp out there, but he’s bailed out by a catch and by some other Who are the I can’t keep up with these names. Who are they? Who are these people? Who are you? Who are you? So, yeah, just to wrap up this whole thing about losing on purpose to get a better draft pick, it for baseball, it makes no sense. And if I’m ownership because it makes no sense, I would fire a GM who was dumb enough to play it that way. Unless, again, unless the team was already bad and it was down between like you and one other team and you know for a fact that a guy like a Paul Skins is going to be the number one overall pick and be a generational talent like 100% guaranteed. But it’s such a a tiny sliver of an example of where it might make sense to make a team that again was winning 96 games a year last two seasons to to take that success and and and to lose the fan base the way they have. You think they enjoy the attendance they’re getting? their attendance has dropped from like 27,000 a game last year down to like 21,000 this year or something. That’s a lot of lost revenue for what? To get one slightly better pick. I mean, it’s just Tell me how it makes sense. I keep hearing this tanking to get a better pick thing and I’m like, how is that logically? Again, I’ve got a hundred reasons to point at Mike Elias and go, “You screwed this up. You screwed that up.” But there is no world where I would think that he’s trying to make this team lose on purpose for a draft pick and not even for like an extra pick, just to move up the order a little bit. I mean, it’s just dumb. I hope that’s the end of that talk. I feel like I have neglected my duties in calling the game. I’m a little distracted. It’s the middle of the night, long rain delay. I’ve got caffeine in my system when I probably should be shutting things down. We’re in the bottom of the six. We’re just getting started. Legamina. First pitch is uh ball one to Jeremiah Jackson and the next one’s fouled away. Jeremiah. All right. So, are we clear about this Charm City chat and this in this whole uh concept of losing on purpose? Because this again, it’d be one thing if it was the NFL and we were two and 13 and Detroit was also 2 and3 and we know that the next uh Payton Manning is sitting there as the number one pick. Maybe you do it then. Or NBA, same deal. It’s down to you and uh the Wizards swing and a miss. Jeremiah Jackson goes down on strike. So, one down in the bottom of the six like and again for those sports and and and the the kind of pick you could potentially get number one overall being like a potential Hall of Fame. I mean, it’s it’s just different. It’s just so different. I don’t know why. All right, I’m done. Dylan Carlson is up here with one out. He’s walked and popped out. He’s 0 for one and takes up and away for ball one. Hey there, David. How you doing, buddy? Let’s go. Two and0 the count. Pitch inside. Keegan Aken is up in the Orio bullpen. You lost in darts once on purpose just cuz you wanted to go home. So what did you do? Throw the dart into your opponent’s neck. That’s one way to lose on purpose and go home quickly. I’m so bad at darts that if I tried to lose on purpose, I’d probably just be hitting like triple 20 over and over again cuz that’s just me at darts. 20 to Carlson is high. 3 and 0. Dylan Dylan your son actually. Yeah, Chilo. I mean, good point. If Aken’s gonna come into the ball game at this stage, then I’m happy to see it. Again, I I don’t know if Chilo caught my little TED talk in my Discord or not, but uh I have a very strong opinion about how the Orioles were attempting to designate or anoint Aken as the closer. It was very clear that that’s what they were trying to do with that second game in three with a one-run lead against the A’s Carlson. That ball sounded. You know what? I can’t trust the sound of the ball coming off the bat because this ballpark is so empty. The sound of the crack of the bat is just echoing through an empty ballpark. It sounds like batting practice. It’s a little tricky. Here’s the payoff pitch outside. Ball four. Nice AB by Carlson on with one out with a walk. Orioles have been doing a good job getting walks today against Mariner pitching. I’m walking here. I’m walking here. I’m going to guess four or five walks so far for the Orioles. Let me see. How about seven walks by the Orioles against this Mariner pitching staff who uh one of the better ones around. Folks, honestly, folks, Sports Center is never going to lead off with a breaking story about how the Orioles beat the Mariners because they uh did a great job drawing walks. Alex Jackson, 10 count, swinging a miss, one-on-one. But honestly, with the way our offense has been to see a team uh like ours be patient, draw seven walks so far, we’re only in the sixth inning. That’s uh that’s that’s noteworthy. That’s something to hopefully build off of and maybe be a lesson. I mean, look folks, we got five runs on the board. I have to think drawing all those walks has helped out in that uh run department. Pitch up and into Alex Jackson. The count is two and two. That’s Alex Jackson, right? Who are you? We have a very large man trying to get the crowd side. popped up straight up in the air center field. That’s going to bring more rain down. It finally comes down into the glove of Julio Rodriguez. Two away here in the bottom of the sixth. Who are you? Jackson. I walked it off yesterday. Holiday. Holiday got mobbed after that walk-off last night. He had his first Magic Mike moment as he got his jersey ripped off. 01 pitch is popped up left side. Long run for Rosarena. He’s in foul ground. He makes the catch and politely just sets the ball down along the screen there for a kid to grab as a souvenir. We go to the seventh inning, folks. The Orioles lead at five to two. Three more innings to go. Hey, uh, since this game has been on all damn day, there’s probably some out of town scores to look at. Let’s take a look. Hell, that we got a final. And all right, never mind. There are actually no other games currently on right now. We’re the only game currently on right now in all of baseball. And that’ll be the case for another hour and 20 minutes, which means let’s get this audience larger. Folks, if you’re watching right now, think about subscribing to the channel. Hit the subscribe button at the bottom of your screen. What happens? Well, it’s free and it’ll allow you uh access to this channel much easier and help this channel grow. You can be a part of the community here. You can chat or you can hang out uh anonymously. That’s fine, too. We’re three away from hitting 3230. I would love to get three more subscribers in today. So, if you’re watching and if you’re not subscribed, give it a try. We won’t see that live subount um number flip until it hits the next uh rounded up to 10. So, it’s at 3217 or excuse me 27 right now. Three more to 3230. Let’s move that counter. Uh, that’s all I got really. This channel again is a community grassroots kind of a channel. I don’t uh have any sponsors. Uh, it relies on uh just people watching, people helping the channel grow. All right, Keegan. Nikken is on the pitch for the 47th time this season. Erra right now is at 3 and a half with a 144 whip. He’s been a little spotty since uh the trade deadline. He’s being asked to pitch in more high leverage situations. Although this one is probably the lowest leverage situation he’s been in. This is more of the normal situation for Aken uh before the deadline. Seventh inning, three-run lead. He’s got Mitch Garver up at the plate. First pitch was a strike and the next one is low. The count is one and one. Next pitch is low, two and one. FanDuel is sponsoring the NFL futures game there. Yeah, folks, folks, stick with me and just Yeah, if you are sick and tired of watching your your sports and your traditions just get ruined by corporate nonsense and greed, then stick with me, okay? As long as YouTube isn’t doing anything too stupid, they’re not asking much. They want you to watch their ads. You can click out of them after 5 seconds. Other than that, I get to run the show. And uh we’re going to do things uh in a way that’s more friendly for the average person. Free content. Uh, no uh abrasive sponsorships. Not trying to get you to bet or uh buy some seat from some uh seat scalping company. You know the ones. Akin gets a check swing out of Garver and he went around strike three. Mitch Garver goes down swinging. Well, y’all come back now. Are you here? Folks, I’m a little bit silly from uh sleep deprivation and caffeine combined. And I played so much yatsi, I can see dice in front of my eyes right now. So, all that said, just trying to get everybody behind uh what the mission is on this channel, which is to provide a community for baseball fans. Broford takes outside. One ball, one strike. Uh, old school fans and, you know, young people are invited in, too. And maybe it’ll be their only chance to get a feel of what baseball was like before, you know, things got a little bit too uh, you know, flashy and ridiculous. I like old school baseball. I do. Uh Crawford opposite field base hit a one out single. He is on B. He’s on board. Uh who’s up? We’re getting near the bottom part of the order here now. Right. So yeah, that’s why I like my little sound board. I feel like a call back to old school sort of pirate radio. Uh, you know, there is some casual cursing here and there, but we try to keep it PG-13. Here’s a popup shallow left field. Carlson will come in and make the catch. Two down. All right, two down in the seventh. Runner at first. 11 pitches so far for Aken. And yeah, above all else, you know, going to games these days, professional games, major league games, it’s just it’s very expensive. Not everybody can do it. A Rosa Raina takes a backdoor slider for a called strike. Nice pitch by Aken. 0 and one on Randy. It’s just uh you know, it’s a sport that if you love baseball, you should always have access to it, I say. So, even if you don’t have a way to watch, that’s what this channel’s for. And if you can follow along just listening, that’s awesome. Uh 0 and2 on Rosarena pitch low. trying to take advantage of the the last days of the frontier, the pioneer days of YouTube because eventually folks, YouTube will be like everything else. channels like mine will get pushed out by channels that will have more backing, more of a corporate sort of mentality to it. YouTube right now to me is kind of like what cable TV was like in the 80s. It was sort of a wild west situation. Lowbudget content, but everybody kind of had creative license to do whatever they wanted. There were a lot of weird Remember a lot of the weird shows that used to be on cable in the early days if you had it. Uh it didn’t matter. They were just trying to get shows on the air, you know, and but over time, quaint little quirky shows would go away and more and more of these flashy, sleek looking productions without a whole lot of heart and soul to them, take their place, and uh you’re left with a bunch of mediocre stuff out there. You know what I’m saying, folks? Is anybody listening to me? Uh, we got a full count. The oral bird is hanging out the window. Please don’t think about it. Payoff pitch to a Rose Arena’s high ball four. Aken got ahead of Randy and two and they lost him. Long story short, we’re going to have fun over here on this YouTube channel for as long as it works. It’s nice. I was born in the 70s, so I wasn’t old enough to really experience the days of like independent like p uh uh pirate radio and some of the weirder local access shows of those of that era. But it feels like that for YouTube. I like it. You guys go down YouTube rabbit holes a lot. I know I do. Sometimes I’ll be up in the middle of the night going, “Why am I watching this? How did I get here?” I don’t know. Seven degrees removed from the original thing you were watching. All right, we got two on, two out for Josh Naylor. And a big swing and a miss on the first pitch. I apologize for not calling this game uh too well, but Arosa Raina is on with a walk. So, two on the tying run at the plate. Nail her swinging a miss. It’s 0 and2. Hey, thanks Vanilla. Yeah, this this channel really does serve a purpose for a lot of different reasons. I mean, I’m not even kidding. Like, if you if you’re visually impaired, hang out with me. I’ll hook you up. I try to call the game as best I can. I know sometimes I get off on a tangent, but uh 0 and2 the count on Naylor. That one’s in the dirt. One ball, two strikes. We’re in the top of the seventh. Orioles lead it five to2. Well, yeah. Yeah. This channel is for umpires. One and two to Naylor. Come on. Hit on the ground. Second base should be routine for Holiday. It is. And this inning is over, folks. Guess what? It’s seventh inning stretch time in Baltimore. What does that mean? Well, damn it. I’ve been up all night sitting through the second rain delay in as many days. So, this might be the last burst of energy I got. I am in the kitchen right now and I’m throwing some cakes on the griddle. Get them cakes up in the chat, folks. Thank God. Life ain’t nothing but a funny funny boy. All right. All right. All right. All right. Party at Candom Yards. Full of keg. Everyone’s going to be there. You ought to go. Thinking about driving down to Annapolis tomorrow, getting me some Aerosmith tickets. You got to do what Thomas Fitzpatrick wants to do. You hear me? Sorry, Charm City chat. Sorry. Hey, there’s a nice shot of the Bromo Selture Tower. What I said, Fitz, you got to do what Thomas Fitzpatrick wants to do in this life. Listen to my words of advice, young man. You got to do what Thomas Fitzpatrick wants to do. We are underway. Bottom of the seventh. Jordan Westber facing Lego Mina. Lego Mania. Westberg has reached base all three times in three different ways. Can you name him? He’s got your oldfashioned hit. He’s got your oldfashioned walk. and he’s also been hit by a pitch. 20 is in there for a strike. Two and one on Westber. Folks, if you’re a Magic member, let’s see those Westy emojis. Well, West is that way. Come on, Vanilla. I see you, Carl. Westber, opposite field. That ball will be caught out there by Canzone. A line drive out to right by Westber. We couldn’t get those emojis up in time, guys. West is that way. You guys are off your game. West is that way. I’m in Thailand. It’s 4:30 in the morning. I’m running a show here. I’m ready with these emojis. Well, West is that way. What’s your excuse? It’s the middle of the afternoon. All right, they’re going to the bullpen. A lefty Caleb Ferguson’s going to come out with Gunnar Henderson do up next. Bullpen time. All right, 5-2 Baltimore Mariners going to bring out a lefty. Gunonna time. Gunner gunner gunner. Uh, let me check on those subs. Come on now. Get up to 32. We did. We’re up to 3230. Thank you, folks. You see that sub count flip over to 3230? Do I hear 3240? Folks, if you are watching right now and you have not subscribe to the channel, let me uh gently uh persuade you, okay? I promise I am not uh a scammer. Uh, I’m not running a grift. I’ll tell you exactly what’s going on here. This is a YouTube channel dedicated to live coverage of Orioles baseball. I do playbyplay and provide commentary and we’ve got a community of other fans of the Orioles and baseball in general, and we like to get together and watch together, hence the bird watcher channel. Now, we wanted this channel to grow. Uh, this is one of those grassroots kind of channels that started from absolutely nothing. Uh, again, we’ve been sitting here talking about how being very independent and uh, you know, free to do what we want here. We love it. Uh, we want you to be a part of the community and uh, do that by subscribing. It’s free. Hit that button at the bottom of your screen and help this community grow. I promise you won’t regret it. And even if there’s a reason you want to get out of here, this ain’t like Jonestown. You don’t have to drink the Kool-Aid. You can just unsubscribe. All’s good. All right. Gunnar Henderson’s at the plate. First pitch is outside for ball one from Caleb Ferguson. His name’s Gunnar and he’s dating my mom. Ferguson came over from the Pirates earlier at the deadline or was it earlier than that? That’s a strike one on Gunner. I believe this was a deadline pickup for the Mariners. Correct me if I’m wrong. That pitch is over the plate below. Two and one on Gunner, folks. How about a bugle? Gunner’s one for three today. Fouls this one off late on that pitch. Up and in. Count two and two. Come on, folks. A bugle’s going off. Show me you care. 22 swung on and missed. Gunner goes down on strikes. And I’m just gonna have to blame the Charm City chat for that one. Not enough energy, guys. Not enough energy. I mean, we’ve got the people in the room. Plenty of folks here right now watching. Not enough energy in the chat to help Gunner out. Two away from Mount Castle. Okay, mount up. He uh hits one slowly to short. Crawford. Whoa, that’s a high throw, but it’s handled. And the inning is over, folks. Orioles go quickly here in the seventh. We need to be a little more excited here with two more innings to go. We’re trying to beat the Mariners twice in a row after they had won eight straight and take this series. It would be a nice accomplishment. This team has been hot. Uh to take two out of three would really be something to hang our hats on here. So strap in folks. We got two innings to go and I will be right back. I gotta gotta visit the the restroom. Be right back. Boy, Harry, you’re you’re full of energy. You look great. I hate to tell you how I feel. I I’ve had that bad back myself. Also, with this cold, it just seems like it’s settled in there. That’s age, friend. I don’t care what it is. It feels awful. You smell like a drugstore. That’s right. I am a drug. You’re not a hypochondric, are you? What does that mean? Over sexed? What? Oh, wow. Here he goes. Let me show you what I mean. Now, by the first thing you do is get right up in her face. You point the finger. Then, if you can’t get close enough, you turn the hand around and pick some dirt. And then, if he’s missed a sprite, you get over here and you put dirt all over the thing. You throw the hat down. You pick it up. You throw it. And then you’re so bad you throw him out the game. You’re out of here. That’s the way a major league manager. I learned something about another bowl of cereal. I had my only bowl. Uh I’m afraid that’s done now. Yeah, the cereal over here, they don’t they don’t come in big boxes like you normally get in the grocery store. You buy these little like pouches. They’re like one bowl at a time. So, I got my little pouch, poured it out, had my bowl. I’m done. Hey, Cage Straoud is on the pitch for the Orioles facing Julio Rodriguez. Last time Rodriguez was up, the rain started to fall and his at bat was interrupted with a delay. First pitch from Strad is a strike. Next one is fouled back. It’s 0 and2. Cade Straoud, he has been off to a pretty good start as a uh member of this 2025 bullpen. Not a lot of guys with good numbers. His are well his have been good. Here’s a ball lined into right field right at Jeremiah Jackson who makes the catch. One away. That was a hard hit ball. 110 miles an hour in fact. But right to Jackson. Nathaniel Low has been DFA. Wait a minute. He was with the Nationals still or not? Nathaniel Lowe. He used to be with the Rangers. He’s got a gold glove to his credit. Nathaniel Low has been DFA. Was he still with the uh with the Nats? They DFA him? No, he’s been DFA. I’m asking you by the Nats what team uh one and one the count on Jorge Palano pitches low two and one I mean he’s got a contract he’s got a contract he was traded by the Rangers to the Nats I believe in the off season they had to pick up some of his contract he’s Not. So if you were to scoop them up off waiverss, you’d have to pick up that contract. But I’m telling you right now, folks, unless Nathaniel Lois completely lost lost it, he can’t be more than 29 years old. 29, maybe 30. I’d put in a bid. Why not? We’ve already gotten rid of some payroll with the some of the trades we’ve made. And that’s a left-handed bat. I would immediately, it’ be an immediate upgrade over Ryan. Not can take that Ryan O’Harn roll. There you go. The average isn’t good, but look at the counting numbers. And he plays a good defensive first base, unless something happened there. Here’s a little pop up to shortstop by Palanco. Gunner will make the catch. Two down in the eighth. Page Straoud gets the first two batters he faces out. And folks, I’ve been saying since the trade deadline and all these bullpin guys where all we can do is sit back and ask, “Who are you? Who are you?” I’m like, well, when you got this many unknowns, somebody’s bound to come out of this pretty good. Here’s a ground ball to third. High throw by Westber, but Mayo with his tall frame, able to spear it, and we are out of the eighth inning, folks. The Mariners have only three more outs to go. A good inning from Straoud. Who are you? Who are you? Just again to point out on Straoud after that inning of work, his erra is now 1.59 and he just pitched a clean inning. No hits, no walks. This is the guy out of this group that has been the most impressive. And he’s not a guy that we picked up off waiverss. He’s just been sitting in Triple A all season. Just finally getting a chance to make his mark here. Game froze. Okay, stand by. Stand by. Do not adjust your television. I control the horizontal. I control the vertical. Who are you? Who are you? All right, I’m going to look up right now what Nathaniel is. I mean, if he’s making less than 10 million and you’re talking about Well, let’s see. If he’s making less than 10 million, damn it. He’s making 10,300,000. Uh I ha I have to draw a boundary somewhere. All right. It is a little bit expensive. It is a little bit of expense. I mean, if there’s an additional year left on this deal, which there is, it’s actually an arbit Oh, but it’s an arbitration year. And if he’s having a bad year, then his arbitration salary, if anything, should stay the same, if not go down, right? I would consider this I would absolutely consider this. I don’t know how the Orioles would would consider it as a team. I don’t I mean just my gut instinct would immediately say they wouldn’t be interested, but I’m interested. Kobe Mayo at the plate. Count as 0 and one. Let’s get it all on there. Just spread it out. Make it one ball, one strike. Pitch is high to Mayo. We are in the bottom of the eighth. The Orioles ahead by three. Last chance to add on. And Dietrich Ends is getting loose as the wouldbe ninth inning guy today. And right now it is a save situation. And this is what I implored in my Discord, folks. If you’re following me on my Discord, BW be spitting facts. Yo, I told you with this crop of arms in our bullpen right now called strike three on the outside edge to Mayo. Tough pitch there. He goes down looking one away. By the way, there’s a new pitcher on for the Mariners. Fellow by the name of Kowar. Ko Wrightander. Here is Jeremiah uh Jeremiah. Uh no, I’m sorry. Uh Daniel Johnson. Ground ball to second on one pitch. He’s retired. Two down. Daniel Johnson, who by the way has moved from center field to right field because Jeremiah Jackson has come out of the ball game, a defensive replacement, Greg Allen, who’s now up to hit for the first time, takes Jackson’s spot in the lineup and is playing in center field. Allen is still looking for his first hit and he takes the pitch outside for ball one. I think he’s about 0 for13 give or take an at bat as an oral so far. No, Sagano is not coming back in. Is that a joke question? I don’t mean to pick on you. Uh we just had something funny about Sagano talked about earlier stack. Uh yeah, Sagano after the rain delay was done. Five and a third innings. One and one the count on Allen inside. Two and one, folks. Yeah. 0 for13. 0 for13. That pitch is inside. We got a 3-1 count. Two down. Nobody on. Bottom of the eighth. hit on the ground to second and Allen will be retired. He is now 0 for14 as an oral. All right, folks. To the ninth inning we go. And you know what that means? We got a lead in the ninth. It’s time to close the door, folks. And that means I want to see the hearts flying in the Charm City chat from now until the final pitch. Hearts need to be flying. Close the door. Close the door. Close the door. We know how this works. There are the hearts. Close the door. Close the door. Who wants to win today? Hey everybody, we’re all going to get laid. Annie up and kick in like men. Like men. Baltimore, you are seeing history being made today. We’re on a mission from God. Do you believe in me? Do you believe, folks? It’s time to win this series. Let’s go. Do you believe in me? Come on, Charm City Chad. I want to win a series against the Mariners. That’s what I want. Dietrich Ends is going to try to put an end to this. This is his 12th appearance of the season. Most of them have been with the Tigers. The last few with us. Veteran 34y old left-hander going to face Dominic Canzone, left-handed batter to begin the top of the ninth. First pitch is a check swing. They appeal. He didn’t go. It’s a ball low and in zone one for two. He doubled and he’s also drawn a walk. the 10. That one floats in there for a strike. One and one the count. Orioles won last night with their first walk-off of the season and now a chance to win a series against a Mariner team that had won eight in a row before that walk-off last night. That’s a strike. One and two on Canzone. Let’s go over here. The one two Outside edge. Come on, blue. That’s kissing the edge. That’s a strike, you bum. That’s our closer out there. Why don’t you wake up and smell what you shoveling? The two pitch. And on the Oh, it’s a little bloop over the glove of Mayo at first into right field for a base hit. Hot damn it. That should have been out one instead. It’s a runner on and nobody out. Go get the beag, folks. Grab that up and hold his legs down. No, not the beast. Not the beast. My eyes. My eyes. Mitch Garver 0 for three. First pitch to him is high. Concerningly high. That was about neck high or ball one. All right. Garver is a good double play ball candidate if he can get one on the ground here. There’s a strike. A change up on the outside part of the plate. One the count. No more base runners. We don’t want to see a tying run coming to the plate. The 1-1 reached four and fouled back one and two. It is the bottom of the order now. So if Ens can get the next three guys, that’s seven, eight, and nine in the order. You don’t have to flip the lineup over. If the lineup flips over, then it’s going to get scary. Cal Rally is looming, by the way, in the Mariner dugout as a weapon. That pitch is up and away to Garver. Count even up at two and two. All eyes in the ball game now. BW not messing around. Two-2 pitch fouled straight back. A high fast ball. Just trying to get that first out in the ninth. Big difference. Hit on the ground and through. It’s a base hit. The tying run will get to the plate with nobody out. 105.5 off the bat. And Dietrich Ends has pitched himself into a jam. All right, folks. Closer by committee. These wins are never going to be easy, are they? JP Crawford do up next. Another lefty because we’re in a committee situation. Much like the game last night where Canó was ineffective, they went out and pulled him as soon as they could and brought in Aken to finish it off. They might do a reverse move here if Ends can’t get Crawford out right now. It’s a lefty lefty matchup. It’s his third batter faced. If he can’t get him out, you got to go to another guy. First pitch is high again. Alarmingly high. One and0 to Crawford. Please tell me we got a righty getting loose. over the plate but low. Two and 0. Ends is trying to nibble and he is getting himself into trouble. The two that one’s in on the hands of Crawford and he pops it up. Please tell me we got a play. Coming in and making the catch is Johnson. There’s your first out. All right. And now Cal Rally is going to pinch hit in the number nine spot representing the tying run coming to the plate sitting on 45 long balls. Yinier Canó is up in the oral bullpen. Hang on to your hats, folks. Drew French is out to talk to ends. What do you do here? You got a Rosarina on deck. You don’t want to put the tying run on for free, but when that tying run has a very good chance of tying the ball game with one swing, a lot better chance, I would say, than a Rosena hitting, you know, a ball into the gap to score three or, you know, a salami. H God, how do you how do you approach Cal Raleigh right now? I tell you this, now that he’s batting right-handed, I sure wish we had our old wall back in left field. The one that goes way farther back than the one we have right now. All right, folks. Here we go. First pitch to rally is a breaking ball. Oh, it’s a change up. It’s outside. Ball one. That first pitch not very close. Makes you wonder if Ens is going to give Raleigh anything to hit. I can’t blame Ends for not wanting to throw a strike here, but then he’s got to know he’ll probably get taken out for Canó with a Rosa raina on deck. That’s outside again. 2 and 0. I can’t blame ends. You just don’t want another team’s most dangerous hitter to tie up the ball game on you when he’s having a historic season hitting home runs. There’s a check swing foul on a two- change up. Okay, Raleigh wanted to hold back because he was gearing up for a fast ball, but little piece of that pitch. Gets a strike on him. It’s two and one. I hope those hearts are still flying in the chat, folks. There’s a check swing. Did he go? No. Three and one. Three and one on Raleigh. You cannot give them something in the zone here. Now the 3-1 is in the dirt. And there you go. I think we’re going to probably see Canó versus Arosain with one out, bases loaded, and we’re going to have to hope Canó can keep out of his mind the fact that the bases are loaded and just go after the hitters at the plate. We got a three-run lead. Pinch runner in for Raleigh Dylan Moore. All of the weapons are getting used right now here at this critical moment of the ball game. And it’s not going to be Canó coming in. Ends will face the right-handed Arosena. And a Rosarena went around, says the home plane umpire on the first pitch. Folks, I don’t know how to feel about it. They’re going to use the lefty here against the righty Rosarena. Base is loaded. Why they got Canó up? I don’t know. That pitch is in the dirt. One ball, one strike. Not that I’m excited about the idea of Keno coming into the game. But if you are playing matchups and you’ve already got ends out here having put three men on one or Rosarena hit on the ground right to Holiday. He will go to the bag. Throw to first. Not in time. One run will score. Holiday unfortunately hesitated. He was looking for Gunner to receive a little flip to try to turn two. Jackson needed to just head for the bag immediately and turn a 43 double play himself. That little bit of hesitation cost him and this game otherwise might have been over right now. But we do have the second out of the inning. One run scores on the ground out. It’s now five to3. The tying runs are still on base first and third. The Orioles are challenging the play at first, although I think it’s just a desperate challenge because they have one to spend and the game is nearly over. The Baltimore loses their challenge. Yeah, he’s safe. Okay. So, yeah, Baltimore just Yeah. Yeah. You know, you go ahead and try to challenge there, even if you got a less than 1% chance. Odds of needing to use a challenge again at this stage of the ball game are pretty slim. All right, folks. We need one more out. We need one more freaking out. Josh Naylor at the plate. It is a lefty lefty matchup. First pitch, ground ball, second base. Holiday runs halfway to first, flips it to Mayo. And the Orioles are in the win column. They have come back after a tough one- nothing loss in game one of this series. And most of game two without a any offense to speak of for Trevor Rogers. A late walk-off win last night and a win here today to take two out of three from a redhot Mariner team. Final score, Orioles five, Mariners three, folks. Come on. Where is my music at? O R I O L E S. Magic. Magic. Magic. Magic. Oreos. Magic. Baby. Magic. All right. Magn five runs on only four hits for the Orioles. They did not have an error. They left five men on base. The Mariners three runs on eight hits. One error. They left eight men on. Unbelievable. Let’s see. With that rain delay, did Sigano wind up getting the win? We never trailed in this game. We scored three in the fourth and then two in the fifth to make it 5 nothing. Seattle would score two in the sixth and one more in the ninth to make it 53. But uh yeah, Sagano gets the win. He’s up to doubledigit wins on the season. Evans takes the loss and Dietrich Ends gets a save. He did give up a run in the ninth, but uh he hung in there and got the three outs for the save. My oh my. How about Ryan Mount Castle stealing home today? He had two steals, a a base hit, a run scored, couple of steels. I don’t know who I want to give my uh player of the game to here. What do you guys think? Who deserves it? We only had three RBI out of the five runs. I guess the other two were from an error. I’m so tired, guys. I gota I I gotta quickly I got to make this quick. Yeah, George. We are now just a 31 and10 run away from getting in. Give it to Sugar. Five and a third. 10th win of the season. Sugar. Oh, honey. Honey, I kind of want to give it to Cade Straoud. I’m becoming a Cade Straoud fan. He keeps coming into games and getting outs. He’s the new Keegan Aken. He’s the guy nobody’s talking about. Nathaniel Low was DFAD by the Nats. Huh. Interesting stuff. Interesting stuff. On point. Just became a magic member. Hey, Melanie. How are you doing, hun? All right. All right. All right. Hey, on point. Welcome aboard. Message for you, son. I offer you the opportunity to join me in glorious battle. Nice binoculars. Nice binoculars. Check out some of those new emojis. He got access to now on point. They’re fun. All right. It goes to Sugar. It goes to Sugar. All right. Honey, honey, for getting the double digit wins on a last place team and we’re still only in mid August. Not too shabby, folks. That’s right. We got the killer bees coming up soon. B Bradish Basio and Beavers excite bike emoji. Uh, I’d have to ditch one. I tell you what, on point for you, I will work on it. I will work on an excite bike emoji. I don’t know how it ties in with the Orioles, but for you, I’ll see what I can do. Hey, we got over 150 likes today. I got a feeling that’s partially due to streaming for over five hours. Holy cow, I’m going to bed. And the sun will be up in an hour. So, how does that work? What am I doing to myself, folks? Tomorrow night will be in Houston. Okay. It’s gonna be Brandon Young, which I’m kind of hoping this is it’s probably going to be two more starts for Young in this rotation before one of Bradish or Wells gets back. And even when Wells gets back, I’m not so sure if a bullpin roll would be more suitable and just take Young out whenever Bradish is ready, whichever’s first. But, uh, Brandon Young will be facing Framber Valdez, the left-hander for the Astros, a guy that we were looking at, I remember, as a potential trade target this past off season. Prober Valdez, very experienced on that Houston team. He’s pitched in plenty of playoff games, uh, big games. So, we’re going to be spoilers again, folks. We, uh, did it to Seattle, uh, and Houston. will probably be thankful for that. But now we got a chance to return the favor and try and upset the Astros and help out the Mariners. By the way, folks, not that I’m trying to advertise this or anything, but since the Orioles are all but uh certain to not make October, uh if I’m going to root for a team out of this American League to win the pennant, it’s going to be the Mariners. I’m going to root for Seattle because damn it, uh, I want them to win their first pennant. They’re the last team left not to get one. I want their fans to know what it feels like. And, uh, I’m going to be rooting for them. So, I hope we beat up the Astros. We’re going to be playing Houston a lot, by the way, folks. Get ready. Seven of the next nine games will be against Houston. Uh, so if we’re if they’re playing at their best and or we’re not really trying to play our best, it could get really ugly here over the next 10 days. Uh, I hope we try to compete with the Astros. I think we normally do. We normally give them a pretty good battle the last couple of years. Uh but yeah, nine seven of the next nine games, the only other two games, a mini twoame series at Fenway on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Also, don’t forget uh starting this weekend, the countdown clock for Dylan Beavers and Sammy Basio truly begins as they will still be rookie eligible next season uh after this uh service time uh milestone or whatever you want to call it passes. That happens over the weekend. I don’t know how quickly both will be called up, but my prediction is Dylan Beavers will be on this team by the time we go to Fenway on Monday. Uh, Basio, I’m going to guess, is going to be a later callup, but it’s just a matter of maybe 10 more days or or something to, you know, give or take end of the month. So, there’s some things to get excited about, folks. Dylan Beavers has been crushing it along with Bisayio down there in Triple A, and they’re going to be coming up here into a situation where they won’t have to feel any pressure to try to help the team win. We know where we are. So, you know, that’s how you make a bad situation into something good. We’re a team uh trying to break in a couple of young players that could be really good, especially Bisayio. Uh so yeah, we’re going to allow for them to hopefully get their feet wet in an environment that isn’t so pressure packed and maybe make it a little bit easier for them to get acclimated and take off. Uh, all right. So, yeah, tomorrow night the first pitch is at 8:10 p.m. Eastern, which means the stream will start here at 7:55 p.m. So 7:55, that means like right when Final Jeopardy or the bonus round of Wheel of Fortune, I don’t know which of those two game shows is the 7:30 one. Whatever. When you get to that final round of whatever game show is on at 7:30, that’s when you need to turn that off and come on over here. All right, we got 40 more games to call. 41 more games to call. Let’s go. And we’re also about uh what is it? 9 10 11 12 13 14. for about 16 games from yours truly calling game number 300 in a row. I’m a mad man. 300 straight games called from 12 time zones away. Nothing’s going to stop BW, folks. I hope you’ve enjoyed hanging out today. Uh a big thank you to the mods in the Charm City chat for keeping the chat nice and charming. Thanks to uh the one new magic member. No super chats today. No super chats on a 5h hour and 22 minute stream. Just reporting Just reporting the stats, folks. Just reporting the stats. Just know never too late. I am about to sign off. Never a bad thing to throw a little something. Oh, you know what? I take it back. Somebody went to Kofi earlier today. So, somebody did help out. So, you know what? I’m not even going to pander. I’m going to get out of here. Thanks to everybody for helping. Hit the like button. We got over 150. I’ll be back tomorrow. We almost got 4,000 viewers in here today as well. Again, when you got a rain delay, you get a little spike in the numbers. There is a benefit to sitting through a rain delay and playing yatsi. Uh the only problem is we’re in a weird hour right now where the day games are over and the night games have yet to begin. So, I don’t have anywhere to send you. So, I’m just going to sign off. That’s it. We’re done. I hope hope you guys have a good rest of your Thursday and uh get ready for the Astros again. Get used to them. Nine games. We’re going to be playing Houston seven of those next nine games starting tomorrow night. Join me, why don’t you? Until then, folks, this has been the Bird Watcher and the hat. Where am I? And the hat. The Orioles. Look at that, folks. We won. We won. We beat the Mariners two out of three. Not too shabby. Uh, hope you have a good rest of your day. Until then, we’ll chirp at you later. Take care of
