Uhoh. Hey, I’m eating. This is supposed to not happen. Uh, be right back. Katy Casey was baseball mad. Had the fever and had it bad just to root for the hometown through every sue. Katy Blue. On a Saturday, her young called to see if she’d like to go to see a show, but Miss Kate said, “No, I’ll tell you what you can do. Take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and crackers, Jack. 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. KT case he 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 do. Casey Casey knew what to do. Just to cheer up the boys she knew. She made the gang sing this song. 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 root. 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 and my breakfast. How you doing everybody? Uh tonight the Orioles will be playing the second game of a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates here at Oriel Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland. How you doing everybody? It’s your old pal, the bird watcher. Here people call me BW for short, and that works for me. Baltimore is getting into a a habit, a fun habit, a walk-off habit. Uh the Orioles were the last team in baseball this season to get a walk-off win. We didn’t get it until a couple of weeks ago, and now we just can’t seem to stop. Uh our last three wins are via the walk-off. two out of three against the Dodgers in the first game here against the Pirates. It’s been quite the home stand. Um, and it would appear that uh the excitement is not going to uh evaporate anytime soon cuz tonight uh one of the most exciting pitchers in baseball will be uh pitching against us, Paul Skins, the number one overall pick in the 2023 draft. 2023 draft, right? Uh he is going to be on the mound for the Pirates. Uh news flash, he’s really good. This is my professional analysis of Paul Ske. He’s really good. Uh and he’ll be on the mound. We have Tyler Wells. He’s making his second start since uh Tommy John’s surgery, uh recovery, rehab, the whole spiel. He made his first uh start for us. Where was it? Out in San Diego, or was it the the first game against the Dodgers? Let’s see. One, two, three, four. We got a six-man rotation. It should have been out in San Diego. Uh I’ve got a short-term memory, folks. I can’t store all the information. I got to let some of it just go out and not stay. But anyway, I know who I can count on if I need to be corrected except for one thing and that is the use of the phrase winning run or tying run for that matter when talking about base runners. Let me educate somebody out there and probably uh gonna completely skip this intro and miss everything until first pitch. Okay. Um, somebody in the chat last night wanted really, really wanted to point out in the middle of a extra inning rally that I had jinxed the team when I said that Dylan Beavers had just bunted the winning run over to third. According to this guy, I jinxed the team by saying that phrase. Uh, I need this guy to know that that is normal vernacular in that situation. Okay. When nobody’s assuming that we’re going to win, but plenty of announcers refer to that runner as the winning run. If that were the tying run, they’d be known as the tying run is at third base. The tying run has been uh bunted over to third base. Now you can give a, you know, a little asterisk. You could say the potential winning run. You could say the wouldbe winning run. You could say those things. Uh, but some announcers do. Most announcers don’t. In fact, anybody ever heard of uh Dan Schulman, voice of the Toronto Blue Jays? Let’s listen to him for a sec. The tying run is at second. The winning run is at first and it’s one. Wait, wait. What do you mean? What do you mean the tying run is at second? The winning run is at first. You don’t know. You just jinxed the Blue Jays, Dan. Legendary uh decorated announcer for the Blue Jays in Canadian sports. What are you thinking? I wonder what Bob Uker would say about this from probably the most famous baseball movie of our childhood. Does the Indians have the winning run in scoring position? What was that? The Indians have the what run in scoring position? Does the Indians have the winning run in scoring position? You can’t say that, Bob. You just jinxed the team. How do you know it’s the winning run? What? What? Boy, I wish I could find more examples of something like this. Oh, I’m sorry. Is that legendary uh first baseman and announcer Mark Grace entering the chat? He just walked in a run. Now the winning run coming to the plate and Ryan Roberts. The winning run is coming to the plate. Wow, that really takes Konese. That runner isn’t even on base yet. The winning run is now at the plate. Well, I guess Mark Grace doesn’t know anything about baseball and he just jinxed the Diamondbacks with that call. Uh, let’s see. I wonder how far back I have to go to find. You know, you might say to yourself, “Well, BW, that’s not the example of what happened last night.” Well, let’s see. Let’s see how Let’s see how much work it took to find Oh, wait a minute. Somebody who actually was calling this game on a nationally broadcast game said this. Regardless, Matteo stands at third now with one down. Matteo the winning run on at third. Carlson at second. That was right after Beavers bunted. Right after Beavers bunted, this is what was said. Regardless, Matteo stands at third now with one down. Matteo the winning run on at third. Carlson at second. Holiday aboard at first. Matteo the winning run at third. By the way, this is what I said. Beavers gets the winning run 90 ft away. That’s it. Beavers gets the winning run 90 ft away. That’s it. Beavers gets the winning run 90 ft away. That statement is what made this douchebag ruin everybody’s time. And not only that, he didn’t. He brought it back up after the game. He brought it back up after the game. I I don’t want to forget your name, pal, cuz I was so happy to meet you, Matt. Like, uh, he wrote back jinxed us in the 10th, kept your mouth shut in the 11th. Thanks, Dr. Delay. He tried to jinx us. He tried. He failed, but he tried. Yeah, he said he hit the winning play in the 10th. LOL. Major oops. So, I love how you type in LOL. LOL, which tells me you weren’t even actually upset by some actual jinx, like I had ruined your experience. You’re sitting there laughing. Your entire plan was to just try to Yeah. Just to be a nuisance and you succeeded. You’re saying move on, Dano. First pitch hasn’t happened yet. Chill out. Do you think I’m going to spend the next three hours talking about this? Dano, I’m giving myself five minutes pregame. Okay. If that’s too much, come on back. First pitch is in four minutes. Good grief. If you get personally attacked on your show, uh I I’ll understand if you want to address it. Okay. Uh we’re going to move on from now. We’re going to move on for now. Regardless, Matteo stands at third now with one down. Matteo the winning run on at third. Carlson at second. Holiday aboard at first. Oh, the winning run is on at third. I’ve heard somebody say winning run at third. I’ve heard winning run at first, winning run at the plate. But if I say bunt the winning run to third, I’ve jinxed everything. Okay. Well, tonight we have game two. Uh Tyler Wells will be going up against Paul Skins. Wells made his only start, went five innings, gave up five hits, no walks, did give up a home run ball, but uh looked pretty good. 3.60 RA, a flat one whip. Paul Skins, you know all about him. He’s got a sub two erra, a sub one whip. He’s striking out well over a batter per inning. He’s the real deal. However, his record uh just standing alone, you wouldn’t know how good of a pitcher he was. That’s because he plays for Pittsburgh, folks. It’s not easy to win. Uh we have a pretty close record after winning last night head-to-head. Uh we widen that record a little bit, like three and a half games, I think we’re ahead of Pittsburgh. But uh yeah, skins with a record of 10 and nine. Uh but don’t let that record fool you. He is a tough cookie. Uh we need to keep the Pirates from scoring. That’s how Skins gets beat without run support. All right, here are the starting lineups for the visiting Pirates. See how I moved on, by the way. Jared Triolo will lead off and play shortstop. Spencer Horowitz is at first, base batting second. Brian Reynolds is in right field hitting third. Tommy Fam is the DH and cleanup hitter. O’Neal Cruz in center field will bat fifth. Is that Nick York? Nick York will bat sixth and play second base. Uh Deanni, who we saw last night, forgot his first name already. Cam Deanni is at third base. He’ll hit seventh. Gi Bay is in left field hitting eighth. And Henry Davis will do the catching and bat ninth. For Baltimore, uh good news. Jeremiah Jackson is okay. He is back in the lineup tonight after taking a uh pitch off the hand. Uh we are very happy to have him in the lineup. Basio is is healthy. He’s in the lineup. Uh we got a pretty good looking lineup tonight, folks. Holiday will lead off and play second base. Jackson at third base will hit second. Gunnar Henderson, the shorts stop, will bat third. Ryan Mount Castle, the DH and cleanup hitter. Sammy Basio has eclipsed Colton Cowser for the first time tonight. I’ve been calling for this. Basio in the five spot and doing the catching. Cowser moves down to sixth. He’s in center field. Uh you did the right thing there, Tony. Uh once again, Tony’s only about a week behind BW on this stuff, but hey, learning curve. Cows are hitting sixth in center field. Dylan Carlson will get a start in left field. He’ll hit he’ll hit seventh. Dylan Beavers as in right field. All the Jacksons we have. All the Dillons we have. Good grief. We need somebody named Dylan Jackson on this team. Or Jackson. Dylan. I’ll be fine with either. Uh, wow. They just made my lineup card disappear. Okay, I guess cuz we’re getting ready for first pitch. Carlson’s in left, Dylan Beavers in right, and Kobe Mayo will bat ninth and play first base. Tyler Wells is taking his final warm-up pitches and first pitch is just moments away. Uh right now the weather is looking pretty comfortable. 69° in Baltimore. I would assume even if it were humid with a temperature like that it should be pretty pleasant. Triolo right now in the BA uh on deck circle still waiting to step into the batters box. Uh some news going around. Tyler O’Neal looks like he’s set to join the team and be in the lineup when the Orioles travel to Toronto on Friday night to start a three-game series north of the border. So Tyler O’Neal, how long will he be healthy? Well, we’ve only got about I don’t know what about a dozen and a half games left by the time he would get back. Hopefully, he’ll be healthy into the uh final day of the season. Gary Sanchez, meanwhile, is starting his rehab assignment with Norfolk, but what surprises me is that apparently his rehab is going to take two weeks, which by then, what do we got left? a week left in the season for Gary Sanchez to make a few starts. I mean, who would you rather see in the final week of the season, folks? Basio playing virtually every day or are we going to just make Gary Sanchez the starting catcher for one week in a season that that’s been decided? The game is underway, folks. First pitch is a ball to Triolo and the follow-up pitch is fouled away. One ball, one strike on Jared Triolo, hitting 222 with five homers and 20 runs batted in. Uh, let’s see if the scoreboard is up. Needs a little adjusting. The 1-1 from Tyler Wells is swung on and missed. A nice slider on the outside corner. Good location. One ball, two strikes. There is your board. I just hope our friend comes back. I mean, for the lady or gentleman who told me to move on, uh, you could help in those situations when they’re happening to be like, maybe tell that person to move on while I’m trying to call an exciting game. But I didn’t see a whole lot of that. Uh, that pitch is high. It’s a full count on Triolo leading off the ball game. I will say this, there have been two attempts to derail the stream here during this home stand. One was breaking up Yamamoto’s no hitter. That is a swing and a miss. Strike three. Wells strikes out the first batter of the ball game. Well, you all come back now. You hear? Got a swing and a miss on a curveball for strike three. Like to see that. One down for Spencer Horowitz. 257 average for Spencer. Another curve ball. This one’s low. One and0. So yeah, two times folks trying to derail and both times uh we have almost miraculous I mean honestly the Saturday night no hitter break up turned into a walk-off was nothing short of a miracle. And then last night, uh, you know, when we had bases loaded in extra innings in the tenth and couldn’t score with one out to walk it off, it felt like we were probably going to be doomed. Here’s a ground ball to Mayo at first. He’ll underhand it to Wells covering the bag. And that’s the second out. Yeah. So, not scoring in the 10th. Bases loaded, one out, and didn’t walk it off. Took it to the 11th. really did feel like we probably squandered our chance to win. We won anyway. Dietrich Ends really helping out with two scoreless innings in extras, dealing with that ghost runner. Here’s Brian Reynolds, switch hitter, batting from the left side. He pops the first pitch up right center. Cowser is going to take charge and make the catch and the inning is over. A 10 pitch inning from Tyler Wells that includes a strikeout. That is about as good of a start as you can ask for. We go to the bottom of the first. Pirates nothing and the Orioles are coming up. Do I look a lot lower in my seat than usual? Do I need to adjust this camera a little bit? I feel like I’ve shrunk. All right, here we are. Look where we are, folks. How are you guys doing? Charm City chat. Do you still love me? Froggy’s here. Gary RC Iowa Banjo Bear Granger Gary Derek. Uh Joshua. Oh, somebody already in trouble. What do we got? Ah, yeah. Uh, Chia’s here. George, Bobo, Bobo, Baxter’s here. Chilo, did I get you already? It’s tough, folks, because a lot of you are, you know, regulars. This feels like Cheers. You know, I got your Norms, you got your Cliffs, you got your Frasers, and uh everybody knows our name. Uh Erica’s here. Who Who am I missing? Thomas Brock, Ryan Lust, April Gibson, that’s a new name. Hi, April. You’re here. Orioles fan. 1972. I’m willing to Can you give me one guess to what year you were born? Orioles fan 1972. Ah, you just miss three straight pennants if you were born in 72. That’s how I feel. I was 6 years old in 83 for the last World Series and pennant. I was too young to really understand or appreciate anything going on. And here I am 42 years later on the verge of being 50 still waiting for that feeling. All right, Jackson Holiday looks at a pitch up and away for ball one. Holiday 250 average, 17 homers. Holiday’s last home run broke up Yamamoto’s no. There’s a splitter from Skins popped up behind the plate. So, this is a battle between two number one overall picks in back-to-back seasons. Am I correct? Holiday in 22 and skins in 23. Is that right? Who was last year’s number one overall pick? I don’t know. Am I getting these Am I getting these years wrong? But uh this is a marquee matchup here. There’s a called strike top of the zone. A holiday or fans 72. Ah 83 you’re 11. But see 11 is old enough. See for me 11 was the 88 season and that’s the year I really fell in love with the team. Swing and a miss. Holiday strikes out to begin the Orioles day at the plate. And that won’t be the last strikeout thrown by Paul Skins 97 with some late movement moving away from Holiday off the plate. Jeremiah Jackson, uh we can all breathe a sigh of relief. He took a pitch off the hand last night, came out of the ball game, and uh he has not missed a game. He’s right back in there tonight. Maybe he looks at strike one. Bullfrog he is bullfrog. Uh the 01 pitch lifted in the air to right. That’ll be playable. I think a long run. Catch is finally made by Reynolds in right field. Bear says, “Thank you for your live streaming of the game. You helped me catch the end of yesterday’s game when I had to leave the ball game early.” Oh, you’re welcome, Bear. one of many reasons why this channel exists. Uh there can be a million different reasons why you can’t take in the game uh you know in a more conventional way. And then other people just prefer kind of the chill laidback. I say laid-back as I blow steam about last night’s visitor. But in general, pretty chill vibes here. I mean, it gets emotional when the time comes falls for it, but uh it’s a good place to be. Gunnar Henderson has a 10 count. Make it two and 0 that pitch outside. His name’s Gunner and he’s dating my mom. Are they really going to show this for every batter? Are are they really going to show this ugly graphic with all these percentages for every batter? Is this a new thing? I don’t like it. Nobody’s going to take in all that information and it’s visually unappealing. Uh yeah, get get rid of that. It’s it’s just too much. Two balls and a strike on Gunner. Pitch from Skins off the Oh, come on, Blue. Gunner gives Blue a look. It’s off the plate. It’s close, but it’s off the plate. And you know, it’s hard enough to face a guy like this. Two and two the count on skins uh on Gunner. And now he swings and misses. Can’t really blame that previous pitch for missing that next pitch because that was a fast ball right down the gut and Gunner couldn’t hit it. Gunner strikes out to end the inning. Skins gets a couple of Ks. We go to the second. No score between the Pirates and the Orioles. Hey folks, we’ve got well over a hundred people here right now. That’s great. What we really would like to do is to encourage those watching to please do your part. One thing, I mean, you can do more than one thing, but if there’s one thing to do, tap that thumbs up, please at the bottom of your screen, whatever device you’re watching this on, uh, give it a tap. We’re only in the 30s on the likes with over 100 people. We want 100 likes. The more the marrier. It helps the channel out. Believe me, we go through this every game. So, the quicker we hit 100, the quicker I stop bringing it up and bothering the people who are nice enough to go ahead and do it already. Right. All right. Let me see if there’s some other notes to go over here. I did mention Gary Sanchez is Gary Sanchez is going to need a couple of weeks to be ready as he starts his rehab assignment tonight. I mean, today is the 10th. That’s the 24th of September. How many games do we have left at that point? Like five. What’s the point? And again, Gary Sanchez theoretic theoretically comes back in time for the final five games of the season. Do I want to see him catch four or five games? No, I want to see Bisio catch four games and then give Gary, you know, one game because Sammy needs a day off. That’s what our backup $8.5 million catcher will be good for. One game after returning from injury to spell Bio for one day and then his contract is up. Not a good signing, Mike. I mean, I know you can’t predict injuries, but I mean, even if even if Sanchez wasn’t injured, that that signing of all the signings, Craig Kimell’s probably the only one I could say that is worse. I mean, I know Tyler O’Neal with the injuries and stuff, but at least O’Neal, if he can somehow keep him healthy, I do think he can be a productive bat in this lineup. But other signings, Kitridge, me, Sagano and Morton, don’t you know, Morton, let’s just move on. But, uh, you know, I don’t know. Let’s just hope for a better winter. Uh, Tommy Fam will lead it off for the Pirates. Top of the second. He looks at a fast ball outside. Ball one. Fam hit that home run off a Yinier Cano last night to tie it up in the ninth and send it to extras. But then he was also the fielder responsible for dropping a fly ball down the left field line. It looked to everybody like it was a foul ball at first, but uh we got a uh umpire review and the call was overturned. The ball hit the chalk and the Orioles walked it off. Here’s a line drive. Snared at third base. Throw to first is offline, but Mayo able to apply a tag. Jeremiah Jackson playing third base tonight. And uh good pick. Not a great throw, but he got it over there in plenty of time for Mayo to apply a tag off the bag. All right, one away for O’Neal Cruz who moves a little bit further up the lineup now against our right-handed starter. Swing and a miss. 0 and one on O’Neal Cruz. Average is down to 202. 19 homers, 56 driven in. And he’s got a few dozen stolen bases. There is a called strike. A cutter. Who hit the warehouse? Is that O’Neal Cruz during batting practice today? I just saw footage of a ball hitting the warehouse as O’Neal Cruz is batting. If you’re watching the Mass and Broadcast and are listening in, I’m putting this together through images, but I’m assuming O’Neal Cruz hit the warehouse on the fly today during batting practice. Cruz does have one of the highest average exit velocities with his swing in all of baseball. Here’s a ground ball to second. Holiday has it over to first in time. Cruz retired. Two away. That’s a yeah from George. And did he do it twice? Because it looked like they showed It looks like they showed a couple of different shots. Did he hit it twice? Yeah, I’ve seen some uh what they’re known as cruise missiles and some compilations uh over in Riverfront Stadium or whatever they call that ballpark out in Cincinnati. Seen him hit a couple of balls clear into the water there. Obviously playing at uh the ballpark in Pittsburgh. More water balls over there. Here’s a ground ball to short by York and Gunner will throw him out. This inning is over. Tyler Wells six up, six down through the first two innings. Looking sharp. What’s the pitch count now? Just 19. 10 pitches in the first, nine pitches in the second. This is good. Nine and a half pitches per inning. We might get a complete game shut out at this rate. All right, folks. I’m going to wolf down the rest of my breakfast. I will be back momentarily. Thanks for being here and uh yeah, be right back. The tying run is at second. The winning run is at first. And it’s ball one to the Indians have the winning run in scoring position. He just walked in. Now the winning run coming to the plate. Ryan Roberts. Regardless, Matteo stands at third now with one down. Matteo the winning run on at third. Carlson at second. Holiday aboard at first. So, it’s it’s not the best option, but it just is what it is. I apologize for Baltimore. The tying run is at second. The winning run is at first. And it’s ball one. The Indians have the winning run in scoring position. He just walked in a run. Now the winning run coming to the plate and Ryan Roberts. Regardless, Matteo stands at third now with one down. Matteo the winning run on at third. Carlson at second. Holiday aboard at first. I mean, can you blame me, Danjo? Ryan Mount Castle to lead it off and there’s a called strike. I mean, he did a lot of things. He shows up for the first time, doesn’t acclimate into the chat, doesn’t try to like, you know, be become friendly. Just immediately launches into like a I’ll tell you how it worked. I pitched up on a way oneonone on Mount Castle. Okay, mount up. This was a guy on YouTube looking around. Saw a thumbnail for this like live Orioles coverage. Huh? What’s this? Clicks on it. Mount Castle swinging a miss. It’s one and two. And I can just I can picture it. He’s like, who’s this guy? What is he doing? He’s calling the game. Who does he think he is? Just some schmuck in his basement? Let me listen in and hear how bad this guy is at calling games. and probably just sat there just waiting for the moment for the first what in his mind would be a screw up so that he could then announce it to everybody that I was doing a terrible job. Right? That was the intent and that’s what makes me upset. Two two to Mount Castle’s inside. The count is full leading off the bottom of the second. So, his intention was to sabotage the entire event in the middle of a really exciting late, you know, extra inning rally. And yeah, it’s not just about him upsetting me. It’s just the vibe he was trying to put out there for everybody else. Here’s a swinging bunt by Mount Castle. Bare-handed pickup by the third baseman, but Mounty beats out the throw. Mount Castle infield single to lead off the second. You take any kind of hit off of skins you can get and to get the leadoff man on. That’s huge. Deanny fielded this ball but no chance to get mounty. He beats it out. Yeah. He wanted to convince me that I jinxed the team. And I’m like, “How?” And even his wording didn’t make sense. He said, “You said Beavers did the winning play.” And I’m like, “What? What do you mean winning play? I’ve never used the phrase winning play when talking about baseball in my life. What do you mean winning play?” So, I had to go back and like listen. I’m like, “What is he even talking about?” Basiah hits a ground ball to second. Re They go to second for one. Return throw to first. is in time. Basio, it’s into a twin killing. A crap. One pitch and a double play for Basio. Stop it all. That’s a rally killer. Two down, nobody on. Here’s Cowser hitting sixth in the order tonight. And that pitch is a little bit outside. Curveball from Skins. Folks, get those cows up. Yeah, he said a bunch of other stuff that didn’t make any sense. I couldn’t tell like if he just was illiterate or just plain stupid. Uh, the count is 2 and 0 on Cowser. Oh, I took myself off camera. Sorry. There’s a strike. A sweeper from Skins. Man, this guy’s got an arsenal, doesn’t he? Every pitch is an out pitch for this guy. The 2-1 swinging a miss on a splitter. He might have gotten a piece. Cowser at strike two either way. Colton Cowser’s batting average against breaking balls this season have been nearly cut in half. He hit 260 against breaking balls last year, 143 this season. And the league knows 2-2 pitch outside full count. Well, we got a full count. Whoops. Sorry. Payoff pitch, swing, and a miss, and Cowser strikes out. Paul Skins, he did allow a hit, but a double play erased it. So, he has faced the minimum through two. The Orioles have a hit, nobody left. We go to the third inning. No score. folks. If I promise to drop it, could you just give me some honest feedback on one question? Do you consider saying the phrase Beavers bunts the winning run the third a jinx? And you know that’s it. I promise I won’t judge it. Just a simple yes or no. And have you and and I guess I should wait a sec because there’s a there is one more. Have you heard like professional announcers who have been doing this for decades refer to a runner in that situation as the winning run or if it’s not a walk-off situation, that runner would then be referred to as the go-ahead run. Go ahead run at third, right? Or tying run at third, go ahead run at second. Is this not normal terminology for baseball? Sorry. Now I’m just eating on camera. Sorry. And have I exercised when it’s appropriate to not jinx something? Does anybody remember Brandon Young’s perfect game bid? and how careful I was. I was even telling the mods to ban people immediately for bringing up anything to do with what Brandon Young was doing. Conversely, just the other night when Yamamoto was throwing a no- no, I refer to it as a no hitter the whole way through. You know why? Because I don’t care if we break up that no hitter. I want to break up that no hitter. I don’t care if it’s jinxing him. He’s the opposition. I know how to handle this. Cam Deanny at the plate leading off the top of the third. The count is a ball and a strike. Check swing. He went around. I don’t know why they bothered to appeal. That was clear. He swung two strikes on Deanny. Well, if it was a jinx Chileo, then the guy calling the game on Massen jinxed the team again. Here’s the actual broadcast last night. Regardless, Matteo stands at third now with one down. Matteo the winning run on at third. Carlson at second. Holiday aboard at first. Matteo the winning run on at third. That’s what you heard if you if he didn’t watch me and watch the TV instead, but I jinxed it. Swing and a miss. Deanny strikes out. Tyler Wells. Well, y’all come back now. You hear? And it’d be one thing if it was just a one-time passing comment, but like this dude like he wanted to die on the hill of I jinxed everything and ru Why are you jinxing us was a phrase? Us like he’s speaking on behalf of everybody else here. You just got here, dude. You got trolled. Well, it’s content, I guess. I don’t know. Gi Juan Bay 01 pitch is inside. One ball and one strike. Whether it’s attempt to just get under my skin or not, I’m going to, you know, I’ll punch back and I’ll give you the evidence to prove to you why you’re wrong. And it’s right here in my soundboard. This pitch is fouled back. It’s one and two on Bay. Bay got into the ball game last night briefly as a pinch runner. He’s hitting just 077 in limited action. One two pitch low and away. count is even. Yeah. Well, again, it’s it’s just simply not a jinx to refer to the runner as the winning run. You would refer to them as the go-ahead run in a non-woff situation. And if it were the tying run, you would refer to them as the tying run. This is just normal. Okay, I’ll stop. I might not stop, but I’m going to try. Uh, Jiuan Bay with a full count. The payoff pitch swung on and missed. Wells keeps on striking him out. Ba’s retired. Well, y’all come back now. You hear? Eight up, eight down for Wells. And uh yeah, three strikeouts to the first eight batters. Well, to me, Erica, the only jinx was this dude showing up and just typing in, “You jinxed it. You jinxed it.” And then constantly I looked at his comments all the way through. He could not stop saying the word jinx. Like if you honestly felt there was a jinx going on, is typing the word jinx over and over helping to I don’t know prevent said jinx? It just it doesn’t make any sense to me. Uh except that he’s a troll like uh like Dan Joe was saying. One-1 pitch to Davis is a strike. One more strike we get out of the third. Right. Uh the one two pitch swing and a miss. Tyler Wells have yourself a start. One trip through the order. Nine up, nine down with four strikeouts. three. Well, y’all come back now. You hear? All right. Well, when it comes to Tyler Wells, guess what I’m not going to do? I’m not going to talk about Tyler Wells cuz he looks really good tonight. And that’s all I’m going to say about that. Get my drift. All right. You met a strange. Now look everybody, just so you know, I’m a charismatic person. I I I kind of lean into my emotions. I feel like it just makes for better theater. I I’m a bit of a performer. Okay. I don’t want anybody to get the impression that this uh this dude from last night is like living rentree in my head. He’s not. I mean, he was living in there for about a half an hour after the ball game because I was sitting there going like, “What did I what is he even?” It took me a while to even figure out like what it was he was saying that I said that was a jinx cuz he kept saying, “You said the winning play.” And I’m like, “What do you mean the winning play? What is that? What does that even mean? I’ve never said the phrase winning play when talking about baseball in my life. Maybe football. like they drew up the winning play and a a flea flicker. I don’t know. Uh Dylan Carlson, bottom of the order for the Orioles. First pitch from Skins is outside for ball one. Dylan, your son. Okay. Antisocial again with the Wii. I really like when people think they’re speaking on behalf of everybody else, especially people who are commenting for the very first time. It’s interesting. By the way, I haven’t missed a pitch yet. The one to Carlson is swung on and missed. Hey, if you would like to talk about another subject, feel free to bring it up. antisocial, which by the way, very ironic name when trying to instruct me on what to do. Thanks. Pitch up and in on the zone. It’s a strike. Carlson takes strike three looking. Look, folks, I’m human. If you were here last night, if you saw what happened, maybe the best thing to do is to, you know, just let me cook. Do you think I’m going to talk about this till the end of time? Uh, I was eating some frozen spaghetti that was heated up in a microwave with some like chicken and little pieces of something. I don’t know. It was good though. It was a 7-Eleven meal. Dylan Beavers is up, folks. Show me your beavers. And antisocial. I’m sorry if I’m getting all cranky. It’s just, you know, nice beaver. Thank you. 0 and2 on beavers. I I’d like to antisocial. Most nights are fine. It’s just there’s been a few here in the past. You know, sometimes it’s like everything in regular everyday life. You ever get just a bad week? Beavers. Nice swing right field. That ball’s traveling. That ball’s off the ground. Cruise shed fence and Beavers have himself a one out double. Splash it up, folks. Beavers, man, he’s got a compact swing. He just flicks it and gets a whole lot of power on on that swing. Look at this. Just the flick of the bat. I really like Dylan Beavers, folks. I am really liking a lot about Dylan Beavers. I’m liking his plate approach. I like the way he swings. I like the fact he can put a bunt down when you ask him to. I like the way he draws walks. Uh he’s made one play in the field that was a little bit iffy, but it’s early. Otherwise, looking okay defensively. Here’s Kobe Mayo. One out with a runner at second base. And the first pitch is way high and inside for ball one. Let’s get it all on there. Just spread it out. The 1-1 swung on and popped straight up behind home plate. Davis with a look. It’s about four rows back right by the dugout. All right, folks. Whipping out those jars of mayo. Bring out the Helmans and bring out the best. Come on, Mayo. Bring out the Helmans. Oh, Andrea’s back. Did I miss it? Here’s a pitch off the plate. A sweeper from Skins. The count is even up at two and two. Oh, yeah. Also got a nice shirt compliment. Can you see what this is? It’s so faded. If you can tell what band shirt this is, then you’ve got really good vision. Mayo strikes out. Two down in the inning. All right, folks. This is a big matchup. Two number one overall picks will be going head-to-head here for the second time tonight with two down and a runner in scoring position. If Holiday can win this battle, we take the lead. Skins won round one. Here’s the pitch to Holiday. He goes after it. A splitter. It’s tapped foul at the plate. Come on, Jackson. Oh, wait. Let me stop the bugle. Andrea, thank you so much for the super chat once again or for the Magic membership. I screwed it up. But Andrea, thank you very much. And I want to thank you very much for that. I really do. I didn’t want to forget. All right, we got an 01 count on Holiday. Skins takes a look at second. The pitch. Holiday swings that splitter dropped below the zone. He went after it. He got a piece, but that’s it. It’s a foul ball and it’s strike two. All right, two strikes, two down. Pitch laid off a change up from Skins. A 90 mph change up. One ball, two strikes. Beavers at second base. The pitch hit off the end of the bat. A slow roller. Backhanded play. It’s short throw is in time to first. Criolo just gets it to first in time and the Orioles picked up the phone to see if they wanted to challenge but no. Holiday’s out. I thought with that ball off the bat that he might have had a chance to beat that out. The Orioles get a double from Beavers. He squared up skins real nice, but uh he’s stranded and there’s still no score. Three innings into this ball game. We go to the fourth. Nothing. Nothing. Skins wins round two. Yes. Yes. Yes. All right. So, what else is going on? I mean, besides, you know, major headline news, which whatever. I we’re here we’re here to get a few hours off of everything else, right? So, let’s try to just everybody needs uh some time to, you know, digest information and events of things going on in the world. Uh, and that’s part of the reason I love the game of baseball. It’s a pastime. It’s therapy. in a world gone mad. I need this. So, I’m acknowledging today was a pretty messed up day. Uh, but let’s uh enjoy some baseball. What do you say? We just need Wells to continue pitching like he has so far. Yeah, Dan. I would say uh Wells stays on this uh pace here, uh we’re in good shape. We’ve got a hit. They don’t. Hell, we’ve got two hits, including an extra base hit. It’s almost 4:20 in Oregon. Well, guess that means I better go off camera here in two minutes. It would mark the occasion. Wish I could. By the way, the rules out here in Thailand may be changing back to the old way and BW can enjoy a little something something on camera again. Ground ball first uh pitch is hit by Triolo to third base. Jeremiah Jackson fields, throws, and gets him. A one pitch out for Wells, who is cruising right now. 35 pitches to 10 batters. Quick math. That’s three and a half pitches per batter. That’s nothing. He is putting them away and putting them away efficiently. Here’s Spencer Horwitz curve ball right in there. I mean, Wells is not wasting a pitch. The 01 chased gave him a change up to Horowitz. Few inches outside. Spencer chased it, fouled it off. It’s 0 and2. I tell you what, the O2 from Tyler Wells. Cutter fouled off. Late swing from Horwitz. just protecting there. Looked like it hit the top of the zone, but by the time Horowitz committed, he knew the only job was just get a piece. Get get another pitch. 02 pitch upstairs. One ball, two strikes. Noise. 3420 on the sub count. Keep on keeping on, folks. We had a nice crowd here last night once uh the game got into those late innings. That curveball bounces to the plate. Two and two. This is the deepest of a count I think Wells has had tonight already. Two balls, two strikes. Pitch. That ball is lifted to right and Horowitz flips his bat. That is a home run onto the flag court. A golf shot. Plenty of launch angle on this one. Horwitz got under it and lifted it to right onto the flag court. The Pirates have taken the one- nothing lead here in the top of the fourth. And that’ll do it for the perfect game, the no hitter and the shut out. Luckily, I didn’t jinx anything. One- nothing Pirates. All right, Brian Reynolds popped up the pops up the first pitch. It’s a can of Oh, Cowser doesn’t see it. Coming in from left field as Beavers to bail him out. I’m sorry. Carlson’s in left. Carlson bails him out in left field. Cows are lost sight of the ball. But luckily it was in the air a long time and Carlson came over to bail him out. Might be Chile. Might be. Oh, you know where I’m going right now. Tommy Fam with a popup. Basio takes off the helmet. I think he’s got it. He makes a basket catch to end the inning. Tommy Fam pops out to the catcher, but the Pirates get on the board first here with a solo home run off the bat of Spencer Horowitz onto the flag court and right. One- nothing Pirates. We’re going to the bottom of the fourth now. What is the What is the deal? What is the deal? Oh, I need to verify that I’m human. I got a feeling that’s something that’ll be uh a frequent occurrence. Uh what is it? Here it is. You’re enjoying your day. Everything’s going your way. Then along comes Deb downer. Always here to tell you about a new disease. A car accident or killer bees. You beggar to spare you. Debs, but you can’t stop Debbie Downer. I’m only human of flesh and blood. I’m made human born to make mistakes. Hey now. face. My eyes. Bottom of the fourth coming up. Jeremiah Gunner Maloney do up. What is this? This some kind of 3D animation of what? Why am I looking at a video game version of the ballpark? All right, Jeremiah takes a pitch outside for ball one. Bottom of the fourth. Let’s respond to that run. Whoops. Bullfrog. Jeremiah. I don’t know. Ciao, but I have to go through the same exercise every stream, so I’m used to it. I try to tell people, look, you get here early, you’re here. There’s like two and a half hours of this event to go. Go ahead and just tap that like now. Why wait, but you know, I can’t uh you know, everybody has their own uh free will. What are you going to do? Two and one the count on Jeremiah Jackson. That ball is hitting the air to left. Shallow coming in, racing in. Oh, the shorts stop going to make this catch. Triolo going out in the shallow left. The shorts stop with the foul or foul with the shallow popup for out number one in the bottom of the fourth. Thank you, Antisocial. That’s a pretty snazzy little avatar you got there. That’s some good branding. I just got a bird sitting on a twig. That’s what I went with. Bird on a twig. Here’s Gunner. He struck out his first time. Curve ball outside. Ball one. Oh, excuse me. That’s ball two for Gunner. Two and0. One out, base is empty. This is a tapper right back to skins. Routine play. One to three on the put out. Gunner retired. He’s 0 for two. Struck out. And now a tapper back to the pitcher. Not exactly what you’re hoping for from your most dangerous bat in the lineup. Here is Ryan Mount Castle. Two down, nobody on. Ski looking for another quiet inning. Castle does have a hit. One of the two hits off of Ske. A infield hit back in the third. Excuse me, back in the second. The hit was grounded two3. Kind of a swinging bunt hit. Mounty, a cut and a miss on a sweeper from Skins. They have got this statcast stuff. Look, I can h whatever. 02 to Mounty. He went after a sweeper that broke perfectly below the zone on the outer part of the plate. Mount Castle the latest strikeout victim for Skins. Paul Skins has gone four innings, two hits, no walks, half a dozen strikeouts on 51 pitches. He’s dealing and we’re down a run. We go to the fifth inning. One- nothing Pittsburgh. Did the review of Bisio’s ball seem like it took way too long last night? It felt like forever at the game. Oh, Joel was there. Yeah. I mean, once they showed like the first replay was like a long shot like from home plate and you see Fam going into that sliding pose and as he’s sliding like his legs are already in foul ground. So, you just kind of think to yourself as the ball squirts out of the glove that it must be foul. And when they took it to replay, I’m like, well, what we need to see cuz the ball definitely That’s right. The ball did not actually go into the glove first. Let me amend my statement. The ball drops straight to the ground before he touches it. And I could see that on that long shot. And I’m like, well, if we get a closeup, then we’re definitely going to see where that ball hits. And that’s all you needed to see. As soon as you saw the closeup and the ball is landing on the white stripe, that’s it. And yeah, it felt like it took an extra couple of minutes for them to confirm that. But hey, look, as long as the outcome is uh the right one in our favor and we win, uh hey, sometimes that anticipation and nervousness, it’s like riding a roller coaster. That first part when you’re going up that hill, you’re just waiting for everything to start going down. May not be your favorite part of the roller coaster, but but you get the payoff, right? That was a good payoff. O’Neal Cruz leads off the top of the fifth. Curve ball from Wells swung on a missed. That curveball from Tyler Wells. Very effective tonight. 01 pitch change up low and away. Once again, we’re being bombarded with this statcast information where we get about 15 different statistical reads on every player and like their bat speed, squared up percentage, chase percentage, width percentage, barrel percentage, hard hit rate, average exit VO. I mean, nobody is taking in all of that information in the five seconds you put it up there on the screen. Nobody like do what Apple TV does. Just have a little thing in the corner that sort of scrolls through different pieces of information like that. Gh. One, two to cruise. That is high. Two and two. The 22 to O’Neal Cruz. That fast ball was off the plate by about half a foot, but he got Cruz to swing. He followed it away. It’s still two and two. It was perfect except my SeatGeek tickets wouldn’t transfer to MLB. So, I had to repurchase my tickets. Do you mean you paid for a ticket twice? Oh, you got a refund. Okay. So, it was just a hassle. I don’t like hassles. I especially don’t like hassles involving, you know, a ticket office. Like, come on. What are these graphics? This isn’t the Massing coverage. I mean, this is Massen, right? What are all these extra graphics they’re going with tonight? Two two pitch is a check swing. They appeal. And uh apparently Cruz didn’t go. Uh replay here. It looks like he held up, but the problem is I think that pitch was a strike. Three balls, two strikes. The pitch hit in the air and slicing into the stands on the left side of the field. Long at bat here to begin the top of the fifth. Pitch number nine of the sequence coming up. Only one pitch has been in the zone and this one hits the corner with a change up. Fouled away by Cruz. Doubledigit pitches coming up in this atmat. Another payoff from Wells up the middle. Right there is Gunner positioned perfectly and he will throw out Cruz for out number one. Defensive positioning very very important cuz Cruz hit that one hard and unless m unless Gunner’s right where he is standing, he’s probably not going to stop that ball from getting through. 106 off the bat. One away for York. By the way, the uh my favorite brand of peppermint patty. York is 0 for one. Thanks, Ronnie. That line drive in the left. That ball is right at Carlson. He makes the catch shoulder high for the second out. Carlson didn’t catch that ball as much as the ball caught him. Wells lucky that that ball hit right at somebody. Two hard hit balls in the inning. Two outs. We should be feeling pretty fortunate, but it’s a little bit of a red flag. Uh but we now we got the bottom part of the order up. So hopefully, yeah, here’s a nice easy fly ball. Deanny going after the first pitch. Pops it up. Cowser is waiting on it and he makes the catch in center field to end the inning. So it’s another one, two, three inning for Wells. Uh he’s only had one inning where anybody’s done anything and uh unfortunately that’s been enough. One swing and the Pirates have a one- nothing lead as this game is halfway over. Holy cow. Are we going to have a record? I mean, this is a one-hour game right now. Are we going to have like a two-hour game? We’ve got two hits, Mr. Hyde. In fact, we have doubled the Pirates in hits. Unfortunately, they have in infinitely more runs. That’s the problem. And you know these Orioles, I mean, they just can’t ever seem to get their act together. Enjoying your day. Everything’s going your way. Along comes Deb. Always tell you about a new disease. A car accident or killer bees to spare you. But you can’t stop. This is great iced tea. Ah. Oh. He met a strange friend in the Chesapeake Bay when I apologize for Baltimore. The tying run is at second. The winning run is at first. And it’s one What? Huh? What? The Indians have the winning run in scoring position. winning run and scoring position. You’re jinxing us, Bob Uker. And what do you know about baseball? Legendary Hall of Famer, broadcaster. What do you know? Hey, Sammy Basio’s up the hit, folks. Stop what you’re doing. Basio’s up. And hurry up because he’s got an 02 hole. 0 and2 on Bio. Sammy Visio being compared with some of the other sluggers around baseball. I mean, that’s what he is. He is a slugger. Slider low, maybe a bit inside. One ball, two strikes. Cowser up next. Sammy with a foul ball off of his leg. Took a little bit of a hop on there, but he’s okay. Sammy, Samia, Samarama. Folks, I’m telling you right now, next summer is going to be the summer of Sam part D. Change up from skins about 2 and 1/2 ft off the plate. Wait till you see Oh, it looks like the scoreboard froze. I was going to say, wait till you see where this pitch was because that was way off. 22 to Bio right in there. Sammy, what are you looking for, buddy? 98 on the heater. Sammy’s frozen and strikes out. And now I got to fix this again. Are you gonna pop back into place? Colton Cowser, folks. All right. So, you know, baseball is a weird sport. The way this game is going, the reputation of skins, the struggles of cows as he swings and misses wildly at a splitter 0 and one. Everything would lead you to believe that we know the outcome of this at bat right here. Cowser is going to strike out, but it’s baseball and it has a way of humbling you as he foul tips this one. It’s 0 and2. I better hurry up and make my point. Cowser could go yard here cuz it’s baseball. Expect the unexpected. Yeah, Cowser should strike out. But what if he just got a hold of one and tied this ball game? That pitch is up and away. The count is a ball and two strikes. You can laugh and say, “Come on, BW, be real.” Well, were you here on Saturday night when we were one pitch theoretically away from getting no hit. Down three nothing. Cowser. Oh, it looked like a good swing. It’s right at the right fielder, but he made contact. It was a pretty decent swing. They’re calling it a line out. See, he had a line drive off of Paul Skins. That’s something. All right, Cowser, you you you made contact. You hit a line drive off of Skins. That’s more than a lot of people can say tonight. Let’s build off of that. All right, here comes Dylan Carlson. Dylan, your son. He looks at a beautiful curveball. Is that like a knuckle curve? That had a lot of diagonal movement on it. It is 0 and one. Man, Skins has got quite the arsenal. How do you look for something? Carlson says, “All right, I’ll try to bunt and he bunts it.” Foul. That didn’t work. It’s 0 and2. Yeah, more like a slurve. slurvish. It was pretty slurvy. Good call, Erica. 02 swing and a miss. Good grief. It’s getting harder and harder to do anything against skins at this point. Let’s just try to work some counts and get them out of the game. Oh boy, just three hits combined between these two teams. We’ve got two of them. Unfortunately, the one Pittsburgh has left the yard. That’s why they lead it one to nothing. We go to the sixth and uh this game might be done before my lucky is. I mean, this is game moving. A reminder that the final game of this series and of this home stand will be tomorrow afternoon, a getaway game. The Orioles will be traveling up to Toronto and then three games in Chicago against the White Socks coming up next week, this coming week, I guess, I should say. So, tomorrow you’re looking at uh Cade Povich going up against Johan Ovido. The stream will start here on the channel at 12:50 p.m. First pitch shortly after 1:00. Uh if you got a job, play hookie or sneak a device, wear an earbud, pretend uh you’re talking to a client or whatever, and listen to me. All right. Worst case scenario, we’ll have a rubber game going for a series win tomorrow. Best case, we’re going for a sweep. All right, Kade Povich against Johan Oeddo. Folks, a gentle reminder to please hit that like button. We’re up into the mid70s now. Uh, working our way up to a hundo. Tap that thumbs up at the bottom of your screen, please. Gi Juan Bay will lead it off for the Pirates, takes a fast ball high. It’ll be Bay and then Henry Davis, the number nine batter. Then back to top of the order, Triolo. That pitch is high. 2 and 0. No need to be cute with this hitter. Throw strikes. What am I watching right now? Who is this with a bat in? Is that Brian Roberts in the Massen studio? This studio is too small for this. What are they trying to do? It looks like they’re trying to pull off a demonstration in a studio that is smaller than my bathroom. What are you going to pitch to him from a foot away? This isn’t exactly the uh home plate studio at MLB Network, is it? Jiuan Bay just got walked. Man, that’s a that’s just not a good idea. You’re walking a guy batting 071 to lead off an inning and he’s got speed. That is a terrible time for a walk. Brian Roberts is offering instructions in the Massen broadcast booth. There goes the runner. Throw down is late. And there you go. You just gave up a leadoff double by walking this guy. Oh my. Why did you not just throw strikes? I mean, if he just threw five straight fast balls in the zone, you’re going to get him out. He might foul one away or something, but one might miss. Check swing foul by Henry Davis. The count is 0 and2. Well, Mr. Hyde, did you not hear the way I worded it? I said best case scenario. I said worst case scenario. We go for the series win tomorrow. Best case, we go for the sweep. That covers either outcome. Why? Why do I do this? I carefully choose my words because I know people are out there just waiting to correct me. You guys understand I have to talk for three straight hours every game. Non-stop talking. A lot of words are coming out. A lot of mistakes can be made and are made. I try to acknowledge them when they happen. I try to get out in front of it. Worst case scenario, we lose today into Oh, you know what? You are right. All right, never mind. I’m an idiot. I’m an idiot. I don’t for some You know what? I’m an idiot. See, I’m an idiot. I am an idiot. Oh, I’m so stupid. Why did I put it that way? I’m an idiot. Cheers, everybody. I’m now I am Now I am actually embarrassed. I’m embarrassed. No. Well, we’re just going to have to win tonight. That’s that’s all there is to it. I guess I don’t know what the hell I was think. I guess optimism was was just running through my veins. I don’t know. Mr. Hyde, I apologize. Charm City chat, I apologize. I’m not going to apologize for talking about that other guy for 20 minutes, but for this I am sorry. Ah, yes. Yes. Yes. God, I screwed up. Oh, BW with the big L. And I’ll take it. I will wear it. Swing and a miss. All right. That’s a big strikeout. Big first out of the inning. Wells gets Davis to chase one above the zone. Bay is still at second base. So, no manufacturing this run. They’re going to have to get him in with a hit most likely. All right. Well, y’all come back now. You hear? Triolo first pitch fouled away. So that’s the dilemma. Sometimes I’m faced with a situation where I have to defend myself and what I’m doing or my knowledge of what I’m talking about or whatever. But I when I do that, I I I am aware that I’m not 100% right all the time. I make mistakes just like everybody else. I guess it all comes down to just the way people approach me. You know, if you’re civil about it, I’ll happily admit to being wrong. Present your case. Uh the 01 to triolo is outside. One ball and one strike. Folks, if you can’t tell, I’m going through my own personal therapy right now. Stand by. Uh is the uh scoreboard not working? Uh the leadoff man is at the plate right now and Triello just hit a fly ball to center field. Cowser with the catch. Ba is going to tag and head to third. Bro will not get there. There’s two down in the inning though. That’s what the Pirates needed to do with the previous batter. Get a ball somewhere to get the runner up to third. But now there’s two down and Wells can still get out of this. But uh the guy coming to the plate is responsible for the lone run of the game up till now. Spencer Horowitz. Solo homer onto the flag court. His last time up in this one- nothing game. First pitch to Horowitz. Wells goes right after him with a heater. Hitable spot. Horwitz took it for strike one. Yeah, Mr. Hyde. There is an example of me adjusting just just to try to make everybody happy. That pitch is low. Basio pops out of his crouch quickly, keeping an eye on the runner at third. Madzinski, a right-hander, is warming up in the Pirate bullpen. The 1-1 hit on the ground. Holiday with a routine play and this inning is over. Wells works around the leadoff walk to Giwan Bay. He made it all the way to third, but that’s as far as he got. Bottom of the sixth coming up. Can we get to Paul skins? Right now it ain’t looking so good. your day. Everything’s going your way. Then along comes Deb downer. Always here to tell you about a new disease, a car accident or killer bees. You beggars to spare you, but you can’t stop Debbie Downer. Hey, how about a look at the old out of town scores? What’s going on around baseball right now? The Guardians have a 3-2 lead on the Royals. Bottom of the fourth. Bottom five, Nats one, Marlins nothing. Top four, Phillies have a two nothing lead on the Mets. Heading to the bottom of the third, scoreless between the Tigers and Yankees. Bottom three, Houston one- nothing over the Blue Jays. Scoreless between the Cubs and Braves in the third. Rays have an early one- nothing lead in the bottom of the first on the White Socks. Final scores, the Rangers. Wait a minute. Didn’t I already read a Rangers score? Okay, never mind. Rangers doubled up the Brewers six-3. The A’s squeak past the Red Sox 5 to four. Diamondbacks over the Giants 53. Angels with a one-run win over the Twins 4 to3. Coming up in about 45 minutes, Reds play the Padres’s. And then about an hour after that, Cardinals will take on the Mariners. And half hour after that, the final game of the night, Rockies will be out west in Hollywood land taking on the Dodgers. All right, Carmen Madzinski making his 30th appearance is in to pitch. So, close the book on Paul Skins Gladly. He only threw 64 pitches. What’s the deal? I don’t know. But he’s done. And there’s still four innings of hitting for us to do. What can we do? Dylan Beavers. All he does is get on base. Just the guy I want. Folks, let’s treat this like Dylan Beavers is a leadoff man. Here he is leading off an inning. What would a guy do like Beavers in a spot like this? First pitch is ball one. He takes a curveball for strike one. Well, so far not interested in swinging. He’s looking at pitches. Folks, show me your beavers. We got a chance to get back now that Skins is out of the game. Hey, Beavers looks at a pitch off the plate. Two and one. He’s just He’s not up there pressing like most hitters in our lineup tend to press. He’s not trying to jump on that first pitch. He’s happy to wait. 2-1 low. Three and one, folks. Nice Beaver. If Beavers draws a leadoff walk, then I I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough. If Beavers draws this leadoff walk, debate me. Debate me how Holiday makes more sense batting lead off than Beavers. Debate me because I’ve been calling for this now like five games into his career. And he just keeps making me look more and more correct. Please draw this walk so I look really smart. 3-1 pitch up and in ball four. Take your base. I’m walking here. I’m walking here. That’s what he does. That’s what he does. Beavers reaches base for the second time tonight. He had a double off of Paul Skins. All right. He saw Paul Skins once hit a double. Now he’s up there leading off an inning against a new pitcher. Says, “You know what? Let me see what this pitcher has. Does it make any sense to go after a first pitch? This guy just got in the game. I want to see what he has. I want to see if he’s got command. If he doesn’t, I’ll get a free pass.” That’s the mentality of a leadoff hitter. Get on base. Meanwhile, Kobe Mayo is first pitch swinging and he fouls it away. Do you see the difference, folks? Just get it all on there. Just spread it out, man. Dylan Beavers, how about you retire and just become the hitting coach? Teach the rest of this team. The 01 to Mayo swung on a missed 0 and2. He chased one inside. Folks, do you see the difference? Do you see the difference? Beavers would have taken the first pitch just to get a look and then that next pitch he would have taken because it was not a strike and he would have a 1-1 count. Mayo’s 0 and2. There goes Beavers. The throw is in time. Right on the money. Damn. Right on the money. Damn. We can’t run. Oh my god. Tying run is nailed. trying to steal second base. And Mayo, of course, not making any kind of contact on this. I mean, the throw is right on the money. Oh my. Right on the money. Damn. One out, nobody on the one, two to Mayo inside. Two and two. Oh boy. Folks, it’s a lesson that sometimes you can be your own worst enemy. And I know I’ve been my own worst many a times. Swing and a miss. Mayo strikes out. Good grief. Oh boy. It’s the as always part, Chilo. It’s the as always part that gives you this day. Everything’s going your way along a new disease, a car accident or a killer bees who beggars to spare you, but you can’t stop. It’s the as always part. So for the remainder of your life watching Orio games, the expectation is we’re going to find a way to lose as always. GH 2 and 0 on Jackson Holiday. I mean, forgive me if my if I’m wrong, but we were on death’s door to lose a couple of times in this home stand alone and uh we didn’t Right. Chilo’s going down. Always tell you about a new disease. A car accident or a killer bees who beggars to spare you. Deb plays but you can’t stop. Three and one the count on holiday. Two down. Nobody on the pitch. That is ball four. Take your base. I’m walking here. I’m walking here. All right. All right. I think that’s enough. Jeremiah Jackson, two down, runner at first. 0 for two tonight. First pitch. Swung on. Fouled back. The Pirates have a one to nothing lead. We’re in the bottom of the sixth. Only run a solo homer by Spencer Horowitz off of Tyler Wells. Wells is the pitcher of record unfortunately on the wrong end. Best we can do is get him out of the loss column and tie up this ball game before it ends. Uh at least uh let’s see. Yeah, Holiday’s taken more walks since the All-Star break. That’s good to see. I mean, I talk about Beavers being the right guy for the leadoff spot. I will admit Holiday has been better in the second half at acting more like a leadoff hitter. Here’s a ground ball to short underhand flip to second for the force. And this inning is over. We are going into the late innings, folks. As the clock just hits 8:00 p.m. I mean, folks, remember 7:30 start times. We should be like going into the third inning right now. We’re going into the seventh. One- nothing Pirates. All right. H folks, I just hope we can get the winning run up to the plate tonight to give us a chance. Regardless, Matteo stands at third now with one down. Matteo the winning run on at third. Carlson at second. Holiday aboard at first. He just walked in a run. Now the winning run coming to the plate. Ryan Roberts. The tying run is at second. The winning run is at first. And it’s ball one. The Indians have the winning run in scoring position. Ah, oh my. Let’s look ahead at this uh Toronto series for a sec. I don’t want to get too far ahead, but time is running out. Pitching matchups for the weekend. Friday, it’ll be Dean Kramer against Max Scherzer. Saturday, Trevor Rogers against Chris Basset. And Sunday, Sagano takes on Shane Bieber. All right. Again, Sagano had that liner off his foot that took him out of the ball game in his last start, but apparently he is in line to make his next start without missing any time. Is Santandere healthy? I don’t know. I’ll look for you. Brian Reynolds leads it off. Tyler Wells begins his seventh inning of work. And first pitch is called a strike. We got some help. The ump called that a strike. It was about an inch or two above the zone. Santandere is still on the 60-day DL and he was supposed to apparently have started a rehab assignment on Tuesday which is what yesterday but he has lower back tightness so he’s actually had a setback which I would assume means we’re not going to see him this weekend when the count on Reynolds Swing and a miss. One and two. Pitch count for Wells. Give me a sec. Give me get back to the other page. 76 pitches with a batter up here to be lead off the seventh inning. We do have activity in the bullpen. Shawn Dubin is getting loose. If Wells doesn’t have a quick inning or gets into any kind of trouble, I’m sure they’ll go to Duban. A one two is fouled back. BW equals bird watcher. Correct. It’s also sort of a secondary. And by the way, I I didn’t like start my channel with like I’m going to call myself BW. I’m gonna have like this cool little moniker. It just I like the first game I called I was just like people were calling me bird watcher and I’m like, “How about just BW? That’s short and sweet, easier to type into the chat.” And it just took off from there. But not only Yeah. Does it stand for bird watcher? But I’m from PG County. I’m kind of a dual citizen of Baltimore and Washington DC. So BW Baltimore Washington. You got that? Like BW Parkway. So it’s got multiple meanings, folks. It’s the name I was meant to have. Two and two the count on Brian Reynolds leading off the top of the seventh inning. Swinging a miss and Wells gets another strike out. Well, y’all come back now. You hear? Well, y’all come back now. You hear? I mean, we’re in the seventh, second start after Tommy John, and he’s still blowing dudes away. Here’s Tommy Fam. Curveball fouled away. Wells now at 81 pitches. I don’t want to see him go beyond about 85. Honestly, even when he’s fully up to speed in a normal year without injury, he’s not a guy that you would expect to approach a 100 pitches. Change up, a swing and a miss. It’s 0 and2. Man, he is dealing though. He is dealing. Is there a lefty do up after this? Yeah, O’Neal Cruz is next. This could be his final batter. It would make sense to bring in a lefty to face Cruz next. Change up fouled away. The pitch count is going to be at 85 or more. And a dangerous lefty bat on deck. I would But we were warming up Dubin. Dubin’s a righty. So I guess we won’t have a lefty to face Cruz. The O2 to Fam check swing appeal. He didn’t go. One ball and two strikes. Chilo is all about that fault. Whose fault is it? comes Deb always here to tell you about a new disease, a car accident or killer bees who begg. Here’s an idea. Maybe the best thing to do when it comes to blaming somebody for whatever. Wait till the game ends so we know exactly how it plays out and then decide. You know, we were facing Paul Skins tonight, Chilo. Do you think we’re the only offense to get shut down by Paul Skins? I knew we blew it in that one inning. We did. Beavers got thrown out. It sucked. That was a good chance at at least tie up the ball game. But I mean, come on, man. Full count on Tommy Fam. I mean, what happens six days from now when Wells goes out there to pitch? We put up three runs in the first four innings, but he gives up four. Are we now going to just throw tomatoes at Wells, and now it’s his fault? Why’d you give up four runs? We got you three in the first few innings. Here’s a pop up to left field caught by Carlson for the second out. And here comes Manelino. They will make the move now with Cruz coming up. Even though I think it’s going to be the right-handed Duben. The pitch count is uh right where I think it makes sense to take Wells out. And I hope Wells gets a huge ovation here because that was a fantastic outing. And there it is. Orio fans with a nice round of applause from Tyler Wells who was sweating his ass off and pitched his ass off. Gave up one hit. Got to two outs in the seventh inning. And I think Dubin’s going to be coming out here to replace him. Call the bullpen. Sean Dubin coming out. And I tell you what, if he screws up, I’m going to blame him. Your fault. Maybe. Uh folks, I’ll be right back. Thank you. Okay. Oh, wait a minute. Oh, top of the seventh still. Okay. Seventh inning stretch coming up here in a sec. I hope. I don’t want to jinx it, but uh hopefully the seventh inning stretch is coming up soon. Adam Jones just tweeted out Wells with applause emojis. Adam Jones is watching and Adam Jones says Tyler Wells good job. AJ10 chiming in on the Twitters. Hell of an outing from Wells. I have to admit, uh, I really wanted him to enter the bullpen because I felt like that was the bigger need at this stage of the season, but uh, Wells is looking like a guy that could be a very good part of a rotation. I mean, there’s a lot to like about these first two starts. One and0 the count on O’Neal Cruz. Duben on the pitch and there’s a swing and a miss. A sinker makes it one and one. The 1-1 outside by a lot. Two balls in a strike. I’ll say this. I mean, if Wells can be uh locked into this rotation next season and that’s one less starter you got to go out there and shop for or trade for, then man, we really got to put the emphasis on the bullpen. I don’t know about you guys, but uh what is it? Eight. It’s an eight-man bullpen. And right now I’m counting only two, maybe three guys that I want to even give an invitation to to be a part of this bullpen next year. But that leaves about five spots open that we have to fill up. Now, I think one of them will be internal. We got a couple of arms. I haven’t memorized their names yet, but one of the arms we got back in that trade with the Padres’s that sent Lauriano and O’Harn the other way. I think is it Montgomery? No, I can’t remember his name. 3-2 pitch to Cruz is fouled away. We’ll do it again. Bull count on Cruz with two down, nobody on. One- nothing Pirates in the top of the seventh. Anyway, I do think we’ll probably see in spring next year one or two of these uh guys we traded for. Chase McDermott is another name. I hope we call him up before the end of this season to see how he looks out of the bullpin, but he’s been putting up some nice numbers out of the pin as he’s being converted into a reliever. Here’s a ground ball to first base by Cruz. Mayo flips it to Duben covering the bag and the inning is over. Duben gets the final out of the inning in relief of Tyler Wells. Wells six and two/3 innings of uh great baseball. One hit, one walk, half a dozen strikeouts, 2.31 erra. Duben, uh, I don’t know. Jury’s out for on Dubin, I think. I I’ve only seen him what, make three appearances. He hasn’t done anything to make me say I never want to see him again. I mean, a lot of people I’ll give invitations to. Remember, spring training, it’s not like you have this set roster of X amount of players. I mean, invite invite a lot of arms and assess those arms and then take it from there. Folks, it’s a seventh inning stretch and we’ve got a little bit of a tradition here on the Bird Watcher channel. It’s time to throw some cakes on the griddle. Get them cakes up in the chat, folks. I’m a country boy. Thank God I’m a country boy. Tom, not to slow your roll, buddy, but if there’s one phrase that to me means about as much as Santa Claus is a healthy Grayson. I’ll believe it when it happens. I’ll be happy if it happens, but I’m not going to count on it. I’m not going to plan on it. It’ll be a nice surprise, but the days of just setting aside a spot for Grayson in the rotation, in my humble view, those days are over. You have to plan around him. And then, oh, you’re healthy. You’re pitching good. Great. We’ll find We’ll find a way to get you in. That’s not a problem. No worries. Uh, previous comment. Sorry. Did I There’s a lot of cakes. I am hesitant to mention his name because of the obvious, but yes, if we can luck out and get a healthy Grayson. Okay, thank you, Tom. You’re right. You did uh give the appropriate uh conditions for that follow-up statement. I just missed it because it was blocked by a lot of pancakes. You’re right on the money, Tom. You’re right on the money. All right, Gunner Henderson, one-1 pitch. Brown ball. And it is a diving stop by the second baseman. Pops up and throws out Gunner. Damn. York with a web gem here. Diving stop to his right on a ball going up the middle. Throws from a knee and gets Gunner for the first out. Hopefully Gunner will get another at bat. If he doesn’t, that means it’s nine up, nine down the rest of the way, and we don’t want that. You can’t win that way. Ryan Mel Castle, come on, buddy. Get a rally started. Mounty with a hit on the night off his skins, an infield single. He’s one for two. Ground ball, foul. Third base side. One ball, one strike. Okay, mount up. Mad Madzinski is still on the mound for the Pirates. He’s on 24 pitches. He’s gone an inning and a third in relief for Paul Skins. Sinker on the outside edge just off the plate. It’s two and one. George says Grayson burped and restrained the lat. Uh, it’s just, you know, I just wish the dude could stay healthy, man. It’s really frustrating. Two and two the count on Mount Castle. It seems to be a bit of a haze or a fog that’s starting to uh make its way into the bowl here or the ballpark. Correct me if I’m wrong, but uh it’s a bit of a fog out there. Full count to Mounty. Pitch, swing, and a miss. Down he goes. Mount Castle strikes out for the second time in a row after that lead, after that single and his first at bat. Two down in the inning. The last time I remember a fog rolling into an oral game, it was when we were in Finway last year. And that was when Colton Cowser went nuts. Had a two homer night and hit one of those deep into that fog to right field and that giant section of seats beyond the bullpin at Fenway. Basio at the plate. Here’s a ground ball to second and it’s going to be the pitcher covering the bag. That’ll end the inning. The Orioles go quietly in the seventh. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Three hits combined between these two teams as we go to the eighth inning. And again, one hit was a long ball. And that is where we’re at. One- nothing Pirates. They have one hit. They have one hit and they left the yard and it’s why they’re winning. Oh, I hate this. Oh, the fog is me uh tooting. I’m sorry. I know how to clear the room. Jake Ro tweets out, Kyle Bradish, so far in 2025, six innings, two earned runs against Boston. Four innings, two earned runs at San Diego. Seven innings, one earned run against Pittsburgh. Tyler Wells, two starts, five innings, two earned runs at San Diego. 6 and 2/3, one earned run against Pittsburgh. So that’s a total of 2 4 6 7 eight earned runs in 22 28 and 2/3 innings. Eight runs in 28 and 2/3. That’s about four runs in 14 and a3. That’s about two runs in seven innings. That’s an erra of about what? 28. It’s about a 280 erra if my math is right combined between these two and five starts back. Not too shabby. Here’s a nice aerial view of the ballpark. Unfortunately, the seats are empty. That can’t be a live shot. It’s completely empty. There’s nobody there. Is this like an AI shot of the ballpark? Are they honestly doing that? Cameron says, “Hi.” Hi, Cameron. Congrats on being a Magic member for one month. Was that a gift? York at the plate. Duben back out on the mound for the eighth inning. And York has worked the count 2-0 in his favor. There’s a sinker bottom of the zone for a strike. Two and one. Matson, a right-hander up in the Pirate bullpen. Is that their setup man? 2-1 outside. I saw a Hellfire missile hit a UFO video today. What? 3-1 pitch in on the hands. It’s a slow roller to third and Jackson overruns the ball. Jackson ran in to field a slow roller and the ball just squirted under his glove. He couldn’t get the glove all the way down to pick it up. Let’s see how they score this. This should be an error. Uh but we’ll see how they score it. It could be they some scores might say it’s a hit. I think it’s an error. Saw that. That was crazy. What is this? A missile hit a UFO and there’s a video. What? Like what did the UFO look like? Like is it just looking like a something from this earth, some kind of flying vessel, or did it look like something out of Close Encounters? I need answers. Here’s a check on the base runner. And it’s pretty close. And we’re going to challenge this. The Orioles believe that a check on the base runner York that he’s out. It’s late in the game and the Orioles are feeling like this is worth challenging. I’m going to take a look. It’s always kind of difficult to determine. You need just the right angle to overturn these uh pickoffs at first because normally you’re getting angles where you can’t see everything you need to see all in one frame. And right now we’re only looking at one angle. The crazy part about it is the missile bounced off. What? All right. Is my entire Charm City chat just a giant throng of conspiracy theorists? What’s going on? Don’t make me look this up. What is this? Missile hits UFO. Here’s me googling. US missile bounces off unidentified OB. Bounces off. That’s not what missiles do. Missiles don’t bounce. What am I reading? Uh, what happened? We lost the uh challenge. It just bounced off like you’re throwing a Nerf dart at something. All right, so we don’t win the challenge. Runner at first, nobody out. Deanny at the plate and first pitch to him is a little bit low. Ball one. Yeah, we lost the challenge. Um, what? Well, I I mean, if a missile hit it, how do we not identify whatever the hell it is that it hit? What is it? Whatever it is, I want whatever it’s made out of to be my next car, cuz that thing ain’t going to get crunched in any accident. What is that made? What is what is what is that material? I I got to know one to count on Deanni outside two and one and and can you guys explain what a Hellfire missile is? Like is there a particular uh like event that those missiles are used for? Are those like those heat sinking missiles? He just said it to blow up this guy and it goes right to him. This uh pitch is fouled away. It’s two balls and two strikes. They said whatever it was took off even faster after being hit and disappeared. Deshawn, are you being for real? Trump just gave a speech in Mandarin. All right, my chat is going nuts. This is off the rails. There are missiles bouncing off of UFOs. Uh, the president is speaking Chinese. Uh, can we just get back to the ball game? What is going on? I’m happy to be over here. That’s about all I know. Full count on Deann. One on, nobody out. Swinging a miss. Throw down a second. And what happened here? Why didn’t Holiday attempt to put a tag down? Oh, was Bisayio saying he Don’t tell me he obstructed the swing here? Is that what they’re calling? Basio obstructed Deanni swing. I mean, he’s out. Well, then what were they calling? I don’t know what’s going on. Runner at second, one out. So, the out the strikeout was there. Why after the throw, didn’t Why didn’t we at least like just put a tag down in case the runner was off the bag for some reason? Jiuan Bay swinging a miss. It’s a 1-1 count. Bay drew a walk his last time up and luckily we prevented him from scoring. He got as far as third base. It was a strike out and a stolen base, but for some reason something else was at play in that last event and I don’t know exactly what it was. You want George Springer? Schwarber is gonna be way too much money and he’s gonna lock up a DH spot, which honestly Yeah. I mean, if I’m going to lock up a DH spot, Schwarber is the kind of guy I’m just not a fan of guys that can’t play in the field at all. And he cannot play in the field at all. And I like the idea of using the DH to kind of move guys around, give them a day off from the field while keeping their bat in the lineup. But and I especially think if we’re going to enter next season with Rutman and Basio as as part of this team, the DH has got to be, you know, you got to allocate some of those DH at bats to both of those guys. It’s not going to be one sits and the other plays. One’s going to catch, one’s going to DH a lot, I would think, or play first. I don’t know. But, uh, yeah. Uh, Giwan Bay just drew his second walk of the game. You got to be kidding me. There is some raindrops here. Yes, Deshawn. It’s a misty misty uh ballpark right now. And here comes Manelino to make a change, I would assume. In this shot, you can definitely see the rainfall. Cage Straoud. Yeah, I would expect the the Phillies to resign. I mean, the fan base, I I would assume, would be really upset with this season he’s having if they didn’t resign him. So, I’m not worried about it. Schwarber can stay in Philly. Who was the other guy you were talking about? We got a break right now. A pitching change going on. Oh, Springer. Yeah, Springer again. I mean, I’d rather have Santandere back. We’re going to talk about Springer. Probably similar price tag, couple of years younger. Switch hitter. Can we get Tony back? That’s a fact. What’s a fact? That would explain the fog. Now these new cameras don’t show the rain. Yeah, you need that long shot, Erica. Right. Or else. Yeah, it’s so HD that it’s like invisible rain. Oh, that we need Santandere back. I mean, I’d like to have him back. You know, things didn’t exactly go swimmingly in this first season. How about this? Tyler O’Neal traded for Santandere straight up. What do you say? We both made mistakes. We wanted Tony for some stupid reason. We thought the market was going to charge a lot more than it did. We wound up paying O’Neal basically the same. O’Neal seems to be comfortable in Toronto. First game up there. Uh home run. What do you say, Toronto? Everybody’s happy and then O’Neal can enjoy uh O’Neal can join his third ALS East team in as many years. I swear these are AI shots they’re showing now. This like fake drone footage. These are AI shots that Masson is using now to cut back to the ball game. Why? God, please tell me, Charm City chat, that you’re not supporting the use of AI in every facet of life like some people are attempting to do. It’s not nec it’s I’m telling you now, 10 years from now, this is going to look so silly and outdated. It’s such a fad. Not that all of AI is gonna be a fad, but like the use of it for like graphics and stuff like like, you know, it’s just boy am I opinionated tonight. Hey, here’s the ball game situation. Sorry. Cage Stroud is on the pitch. First pitch is ball one to Henry Davis who’s 0 for two tonight. The Pirates have runners at first and second with one out and a one- nothing lead. The 10 from Straoud. Pitch has popped up right field. Jackson heading toward. Oh no, that’s not Jeremiah. Beavers is in right. Cowser is going to make the catch. Runner at second will tag and go to third. York. But there’s two down. I think I’m completely thrown off by this missile hitting a UFO and bouncing off of it while the UFO just takes off and nobody can find it. Honestly, what’s going on? Come on. And if there is alien life out there, could you please like help us? Earth is, you know, the human race is kind of just really screwing up a lot lately. Could you maybe guide us into a better direction while you’re here? Thanks. Jared Triolo looks at a pitch low and away for ball one. I mean, come on. If you’re a superior intelligence, why don’t you use it? Make us smarter. Help us out. I know Edward, but you know, sprinkling in the occasional opinion while calling a game, no problem. But I feel like tonight it’s been like 50% game call, 50%, hey, here’s my take. I just need to, you know, dial it back a little bit. Here’s a foul ball behind the plate. The count is one and one. There are plenty channels on YouTube and other platforms to listen to everybody’s hot take on every damn thing under the sun. You guys aren’t here uh to tune in for that with me, are you? You’re here for baseball. Hopefully to get your mind off of all that other stuff, if only for a couple hours a day. Here comes the 1-1 pitch to Triello. Runner fakes going. He stays that pitch a little bit outside. Oh, about a couple inches outside. Basio trying to frame it. Kind of fooled me a little bit. First and third for the Pirates with two down. Two and one the count on Triolo. And the pitch swing to miss. It’s two and two. Runner is going to move up to second base though without a throw. Giuan Bay steals a base. He can’t give that. You can’t say that’s indifference. We just decided to not throw down there. And in this rain, maybe that’s a good idea. Two down. Let’s just get this guy out. I don’t want Basio throwing a ball into the outfield. 22. Swinging a miss. Cage Straoud strikes out Triolo to end the inning. The Pirates strand two runners in scoring position, folks. There might be about 300 people in the ballpark right now. There might be 300 people sitting in the stands in this rain in this game right now. It is rather empty, folks. Speaking of hundreds, we are three away from a 100red likes. What do you say we hit that mark during this? Wow, somebody just took theirs away. Well, while somebody takes their like away, how about somebody add one in? There you go. We’re up to 97, folks. Three away from 100. Make it two away. Let’s get to triple digits. Thank you, Logan. Hey, guess what, folks? 100 likes will uh bring on the hat. Anybody want to see the hat today? 100 likes will get us the hat. I got to change the lighting on this now or daytime mode. All right. Did we get there? 104. Wow. The power of the microphone, everybody. All right. You wanted it. You wanted it, folks. You got it, folks. The power of the hat so far in this home stand. Don’t question it. Don’t question it. Go back and watch. Go back and watch the Yamamoto. No. No. Go back and watch last night. The hat has said, “All right, BW, enough is enough. Let’s go. All right. Who is this guy sitting in between Brian Roberts and Kevin Brown? Could somebody tell me?” He doesn’t look like a ball player. He’s too young to be like anything else. Who is that guy? Who is that third guy? Jeremiah says, “Good morning.” How are you doing, Jeremiah? I love it when somebody says, “Good morning.” Yeah. Isaac Matson is on the pitch. 39th appearance. Good numbers. 2.20 erra, 1.07 whip. Opponents batting 186. And the K per nine is better than one per inning. Good morning. Ah, good morning. Uh, the rain continues to fall. Umpire just wiped the plate down. Here comes Cowser again. This kind of weather for Cowser gives me good vibes, man. First pitch is called a strike. Tough pitch. Borderline top outside corner for strike one. The 01 line drive right field. Get up. Get up. That’s off the scoreboard. Cowser has to stop at first base. He hit it so hard. What did I tell you? The milkman loves this weather. It’s the best damn ball he’s hit in forever. 105 off the bat. Tying run on with nobody out. My favorite strain. Are we talking about pot? I’m I’m not. The Here’s a Carlson liner foul off to the right. Carlson is 0 for two. He wipes his bat head under his armpit to dry up the bat. Conditions are wet out here. Cows are at first. Nobody out. The 01 to Carlson is outside. One ball, one strike. Yeah, when it comes to pot, I’m just like, you know, don’t give me the swag. Don’t. And I don’t need like that top shelf stuff with that really pleasant aroma. Look, does it get me stoned? Great. Uh, that’s it. I don’t I don’t uh Yeah, I don’t really It’s the same thing with beer. I used to have a roommate that was really into craft beers and we go to bars and I’m just like just give me a beer, man. I don’t want to sit here and talk about it. I just want to drink it and feel whatever it’s supposed to do to me. I mean, it’s like sex. In the middle of sex, I’m not sitting there talking about, “Oh, boy. This is great sex.” Well, you know, this position of mine, this is one of my favorites. I learned this one. Uh, no. You just enjoy them. Enjoy it. Why do you have to talk about it? I’m like that with everything. I mean, weed, beer, what? Whatever. Uh, 22 to Carlson popped up. Foul. We’ll do it again. Come on, folks. Cars. I don’t I’m not a car person, you know. Hey, what do you think of this model? I don’t know. What kind of gas mileage does it get? That’s about all I care about. Two two pitch to Carlson. Popped straight up. The catcher Davis looking at it near the dugout. It’s out of play. Carlson has life. Still two and two. Weed is legal in Delaware now, too. All right. I mean, folks, give the people of Delaware something. They’ve been living off that whole we’re the first state thing now for 250 years. Give them something else. 22 to Carlson. I got nothing against Delaware. Beautiful state. Line drive up the middle and a base hit. Cowser’s turning and he’ll stop at second. Oh my, how is Cowser only on second base? He hits a ball off the scoreboard. Another hit up the middle. We’ve got the tying and wouldbe go ahead runs on. Let me say that again. We have the wouldbe tying and go ahead runs on. would be. Everybody heard that? The wouldbe. Daniel Johnson is going to pinch run for Carlson, who is the potential go-ahead run as Beavers pops this one foul and out of play. Am I doing it right tonight? Dylan Beavers, folks, all he does is get on base. He’s done it tonight. A double off of Skins and a walk. Two on, nobody out. 0 and one on Beavers. Folks, show me your Beavers and show me to them quickly as Matson turns around to look. Cows are back to second base. Nice, Beaver. Thank you. Come on, Beavers. Come on, buddy. 01 fouled away. 0 and2. He got a fast ball. Wipe that bat head, Dylan. It looks a little slimy. What? What’s the ump talking about? The ump wants beavers to do something something to help his grip on the bat. I guess this is you never see this. The umpire basically giving advice to Dylan Beavers to prepare himself better to swing at a pitch in this uh weather we’re dealing with here. I hope that helped. 0 and2 the count on Beavers. Come on. We got to at least move these runners up. Pitch hit foul left side running toward the stands. It’s out of reach. It’s still 0 and2. Gi Juan Bay is out in left field. Uh, so there have been Oh, no. He’s been there all night. Okay. The only new player in the game right now is the pinch runner at first for Carlson, Daniel Johnson. It’s 0 and2 on Beavers. First and second, nobody out. The Orioles trying to tie and hopefully more. 02 is fouled away. Beavers hanging in there. He got a fast ball right down the middle. That was not a good pitch from Matson on 02, but he got away with it. Folks, it’s a wet beaver out there at the plate. The O2 fouled again. Look at Beavers just fighting these pitches off with ease. It feels like he’s like that’s not the pitch I’m looking for. What’s the home play want now? Beavers is doing everything he can to stay dry, keep the his eyes clear and his bat dry. It’s not easy. He’s still got an 02 count. Next pitch. This one’s lace. This one’s gonna Oh god, it’s caught by the shortstop. Damn, it looked like a looping liner ticketed for left field off the end of the bat. But I tell you what, those raindrops slowed that ball down and allowed the shortstop to get out there and make this catch. Man, the rain stopped that ball. I’m telling you right now. Oh my. One away. Runner still at first and second. Mayo coming up. He struck out both times tonight. Come on, Kobe. Please. Please. Mayo was pinch hit for in a big spot late in the ball game last night when all we needed was some contact. Contact alone ain’t going to do it here. First and second one out. We do need a hit. It does feel like Mayo is due. I just hope his It’s all about the mentality. Kobe, calm down. Realize you’re facing a pitcher, you know, he’s not bad, but he’s he’s not unhitable. Come on, man. Compared to what you saw in skins earlier, this should be a lot easier. So, just relax. You don’t have to hit a home run. A base hit ties the game. Let’s go. First pitch to Mayo off the plate outside. Ball one. Folks, get it all on there. Just get it all on there. Just spread it out. The one O to Mayo. Here it is. Popped straight up on the infield behind first base. And York, the second baseman, makes the catch. He is caked in mud. Is the second baseman. Two down in the inning. The runners have yet to move since first and second. Nobody out. Going to be up to Jackson Holiday to be the hero here. Can Holiday do something? 0 for two with a walk. First pitch. He swings at it. That was ball one, but he swung and fouls it off. So, it’s strike one. 0 and one on Holiday. Matson’s next pitch. Low and away. One ball, one strike. Come on. How about a little bit of Orioles magic? BW rubbing that hat. The 1-1 up and away. Ball two. Come on, Charm City chat. It’s been a hell of a home stand so far when it comes to late inning dramatics. Why stop now? We’re on a roll. I like to play in the rain. The 2-1 Holiday. That ball’s hit on the ground through the hole. Base hit into left field. Send that runner home. Here comes Johnson. He’ll score. The Orioles have tied it up late. Their first run of the day. A two out single by Jackson Holiday. We’re tied at one. He finds the hole on the opposite side of the infield. Magic. You know who believe in magash. Jeremiah Jackson has a 10 count. The go a wouldbe go ahead run is at second base. Jackson lifts it into the air. Should be playable, but it could be a tough play along the foul line down the right field line. Brian Reynolds makes the catch. But we got a brand new ball game, folks. We are heading to the ninth inning. Tied at one. Jackson Holiday with the big two out RBI base knock. Ninth inning coming up. Tied at one. Can’t wait to talk about the wouldbe winning run. The wouldbe ghostrunner. The wouldbe. There’s going to be a lot of wouldbees and potentials coming up here in the final. God, that guy was such an [ __ ] The tying run is at second. The winning run is at first. And it’s ball one to the Indians have the winning run in scoring position. What? He just walked in. Now the winning run coming to the plate. Ryan Roberts. Winning run coming to the plate. H how can you call what? Regardless, Matteo stands at third now with one down. Matteo the winning run on at third. Carlson at second. What? Holiday aboard at first. Oh, that guy jinxed us last night. Good thing I’m not a professional broadcaster. At least Wells will not get the loss anymore. That’s good. Chilo, get excited. Come on, Chilo. Have you watched this home stand? It’s okay to be optimistic just as a refreshing change of pace. Guess what happens if you choose optimism and we wind up losing? Nothing. You’ll still all be all in one piece. I promise. You will not spontaneously combust. Okay? Just try it on for size. See, and you might like how it fits. All right, Johnson will stay in the game. I think he does. Uh, he takes over for Carlson in left field. Everything else stays the same. And what do we got on the mound here? Rico Suave is coming in to pitch, folks. That’s right. Rico Garcia on the mound. First pitch swung on a miss by Spencer Horowitz. Rico Suave pitch swung on and missed again. 94 on the Heater. 0 and2 on Horowitz. Optimus die young. Well, oh well. We all die eventually. O2. Folks, I get to live with a medical condition that I’ve had for long enough where I can safely say I’m playing with house money. So, when it comes to life expectancy, I don’t care. Here’s a foul back. It’s 0 and2 on Horowitz. I’m not even supposed to be here, but here I am. That’s probably the most powerful weapon I have is the knowledge that I’m not even supposed to still be here. So, I’m playing with house money. It’s a good feeling. Here’s the O2 pitch to Horowitz. It’s off the plate. One ball and two strikes. Ro, let’s get this first guy out. Two, three, four batters do up. Popped up third base side. Coming in is Daniel Johnson. Newly in the ball game playing left field. He makes the catch. Shallow left. One down from Yeah. You just live life differently, Erica, when you realize that like Yeah. What you It definitely makes you not worry about a lot of things that you might otherwise worry. Yeah. You just treat life like, you know, it is fragile. It’s precious. That’s why every morning when I’m not with you guys, I’m admiring that sun going up, I admire that same sun going down every night. Every day means something to me. And that’s the lesson I learned with the what I’m living with here. Life is short. Have some fun. Don’t spend it fighting other people, please. That’s what sports are for. If I understand people have aggression, people need to uh vent. That’s what sports is. It’s therapy to get those very human emotions out uh vicariously through something that you watch and allow to play out rather than taking it out on somebody else. You feel me folks? One two pitch to Reynolds is fouled back. We’ll do it again. Now that said, am I a saint? Hell no. I’m a pacifist. I I’ve never ever uh I’ve never been violent with anybody. I’ve I’ve had to protect myself in certain situations, but I’ve never I can safely say never ever been a violent person. Ever. Gross. What for? One ball and two strikes on Brian Reynolds. That pitch is low. It’s two and two. Even when I’ve had to fight, and I have had to do it because I was a doorman at a nightclub for a lot of years in my 20s and occasionally things get got physical. Ground ball. That’s a fair ball. Stopped by Mayo. He flips it to Garcia covering the bag. Nice recovery by Mayo and good work by Garcia to get over there to cover the bag. Two down in the inning. We are tied at one. Nobody on base. So yeah. Uh but my job was to deescalate. You know, I had some like alpha male wannabes working with me at that job who looked forward to having confrontation so that they could have an excuse to throw fists. And I was sort of ostracized by those guys in our circle of employees at this nightclub because I had the opposite mentality of I’m here to deescalate. I’m here to stop people from fighting. I’m here to save people from getting hurt. Uh but you do a job like that and uh you do uh have your share of altercations. Uh but in general, folks, take care of each other because guess what? Try to get through this life without the help of anybody else. See how far you get. We all need each other. That’s the bottom line. Two down, nobody on base. Tommy Fam has a count of no balls and one strike pitch. We get a called strike two. Rico hitting that outside edge with a slider. One strike away from Garcia getting through this ninth. Yes, Mr. Hyde. It was the 9:30 club. I worked there from 01 to 08. Eight years. One and two the count. Soap box. Just trying to encourage people to treat each other with kindness. That’s the soap box. Where’s that pitch? Blue Garcia with a curveball and a beauty right on the corner. Come on, Blue. Why don’t you wake up and smell what you shoveling? Are you serious? We better get through this at bat. Two balls, two strikes. Pitch. Come on. How about now? Blue. What? They appeal. No swing. Come on. Oh, we’ve got a father and his two sons. They’re they’re uh they’re angry. Full count on fam. Oh, I don’t like this. Come on. Put him away. Payoff pitch. Pop foul. We’ll do it again. Yeah. Hey, Ump. Get a load of this. Not the beast. Not the beast. My eyes. My eyes. Hey, Clifford. You’ve been a while. It’s good to see you, buddy. That’s ball four. Damn it. This better not lead to anything. Garcia loses fam on a pitch well outside after throwing a perfect curveball. Perfect for a called strike three to end the inning, but we didn’t get it. And here comes Drew French. O’Neal Cruz is due up now. Dangerous hitter. He’s 0 for three. His batting average is not that good, but he’s still a tough cookie. Can’t do anything but be careful with this guy. French is talking about probably a scouting report about O’Neal Cruz right now with Rico. I mean, there is the option to work around him. It’s typically not what you would want to do in this situation because a runner’s at first. There’s no open base. You would be pushing the go-ahead runner in a scoring position by putting him on. But you got Nick York who’s also hitting under 200 and not nearly the reputation of an O’Neal Cruz on deck. You get him, you get out of the inning. So what would you rather have? Cruz up, go after him with a runner at first or go after York with a runner at second. Let’s see how Garcia pitches him. First pitch, swing and a miss. Perfect start. A change up. It started in the zone. It went outside and he got the whiff from Cruz. Perfect pitch. Was never a strike and he got the chase. Two more of those and we’re good. 01 pitch goes with the straight fast ball outside. This time, Cruz lays off. One ball and one strike. Oh, Clifford, you don’t have to worry about jinxing in this chat. Nobody would ever accuse the 1-1 bottom of the zone. We get the strike call. All right. Thank you, Blue. Looks like it did kiss that bottom line, so it’s a good call. And we got two strikes. Orio fans are making noise. We want to get this third out right now. And Basio waves his hands to get the attention of Garcia to hold up. Don’t pitch yet. They are resetting. And oh, here we go. The one two pitch to Gar uh Cruz. Sorry. Fouled away. We’ll do it again. Man, we got another nailbiter, don’t we, folks? We’ve got another nailbiter on this home stand. Another one, two pitch. Here it is. Swinging a miss on the change up. Cruz slams his back down, slams his helmet down. See you later, folks. Well, y’all come back now. You here? Come on now. Oh. Oh, Rico, you are getting a spring invitation. Yes, you are. Who Who uh who threw this guy onto the waiver heap? Somebody just said I think it was the Mets. I think the Mets just said we don’t have room for Rico Garcia because, you know, we made a bunch of trade deadline acquisitions, including for our bullpen. Odd man out, Rico Garcia. I guess we’ll just have to DFA him. Oh well. Thank you, Mets. Oh, the Mets coming through clutch. Three cheers to the Mets. step right up and say thanks to the Mets for giving us Rico Garcia for free. We didn’t have to pay a damn thing. How about that? Meanwhile, how’s your bullpen doing? Who did you uh create a spot for and show Garcia the door that you’re probably paying 10 times the price tag for? I’d love to know. That’s why the Mets couldn’t keep Garcia. He doesn’t have a giant contract. They’re like, “Who is this guy? Get rid of him. This guy’s making less than 25 million a year. What is he doing with us? All right. Walk it out or walk it off. Come on, Matt. Don’t jinx it. We can’t walk it out. We’re going to the bottom of the ninth, folks. How you feeling? You got to be kidding me. It is not Basio to lead off, is it? Oh, it’s Gunar. Okay, but Basio is due up third in the inning. Gunnar Henderson, Ryan Mal Castle, and Sammy Basio do up. Santana on the pitch, a right-hander. Dennis Santana, he came into the ball game last night, right? Wasn’t he on the mound for that walk-off win or was he in the game a little earlier? I can’t remember. Santano’s making his 63rd appearance on the season. He is out there every other game. 2.32 ERA, a very good whip of just 0.90. Gunner’s got an 02 count. Pitch, swing, and a miss. Wow. Gunner outgunned in that sequence. Three pitches and down he goes. One away here in the bottom of the ninth. Mount Castle coming up. Basio is on deck. Okay, mount up. If Bio walks this off, if Basio were to walk this off, folks, Mounty with a flying ball to right, backing up. Still backing up onto the track, making the catch right in front of the wall is Brian Reynolds. And again, I’m going to blame the weather. That ball carried and then just fell down before it got to that scoreboard. It’s hard to say if there’s any precipitation still going on. You need the right camera to tell, but uh here we go. Two down in the bottom of the ninth for Sammy Basio. First pitch takes outside for ball one, folks. Here we go. Come on, Charm City chat. Will it to happen? The 10 up, but it’s a strike. A change up. Top of the zone. The count is one and one. Albert Suarez is getting loose in the Baltimore pin. If we go extras, swinging a miss. Bayiah with a healthy cut on a heater at 94, but came up empty. Two strikes, two out in the bottom of the ninth. Oh, so the Mets didn’t even really Wow. Swing and a miss. Basio goes down on strikes, folks. Free baseball again. More free baseball, folks. Here we go. On to the 10th inning. Ghostr runner time. Now we got to figure out all that crap. Well, I can tell you Basio would be our ghostr runner. What do you want to do about that? Probably going to be another pinch run situation. I would think you put Matteo out there. You bring in Jackson if we don’t walk it off to replace at the catcher position. You have to. You have to. Uh, who do the Pirates have coming up? Who do the Pirates have coming up? York, Deanni, and Bay. So, the number five batter would be the Oh, no. O’Neal Cruz is the ghost runner. Oh boy. Enrico Garcia threw 25 pitches in that one inning. So, he’s done. It’s going to be Albert Suarez. It’s going to be O’Neal Cruz as the ghost runner. The three batters do up. Don’t worry me all that much. It’s cruising in those legs of his on second base with nobody out. That’s what’s got me scared cuz they got a way to get him in without the benefit of a hit if they execute. Oh boy, here we go. Not a whole lot of people at the yard, but uh for those who have stuck around, we’ve got a nailbiter. Albert Suarez making his fourth appearance of the season. He made one appearance at the very start of the season, went down with injury for several months. He’s made two appearances since and now his third appearance since coming back. O’Neal Cruz takes his spot on at second base. And here we go. Nick York. He’s one for three. Right-handed batter batting a buck 88 on the season. Is he going to try to bunt his crew going to try to straight run? What are they going to try? Here’s the first pitch. No sign of a bunt. And the first pitch is in the dirt. Fine by me. Fine by me. If you don’t want to make sure you get that ghost runner in, Albert, you need to keep an eye on Cruz. Keep him as close to second as you can. Here comes the next pitch. Hit on the ground to Gunner and Cruz cannot advance. The ball hit right there in front of him. Nothing he can do but put his hands behind his back. Oh, a big first out. A ground ball to Gunner. Left side of the infield. Runner at second. Stuck there. And now we get Deanny who’s 0 for three. Deanny and Giuan Bay. The next two batters do up. Deanny with a swing and a miss on a fast ball from Big Albert. We are tied at one. The top of the tenth. O’Neal Cruz the Ghost Runner at second with one down. Pitch from Suarez. Way high. One ball, one strike. Hey, Matt like, how are you tonight? Fancy you showing up at this stage of the ball game. Hey, anybody jinx anything for you today? One- one pitch is off the plate. The count is two and one. Hey, Matt, ever heard of somebody named uh I don’t know, Bob Uker? The Indians have the winning in scoring position. What did he say? The Indians have the winning in scoring position. Line drive by Deanny. Foul. The count is two and two. Who’s this? Dan Schulman, voice of the Blue Jays. What? The tying run is at the run at first. What did he say? Wait, what did he say? The winning run is at first. He just jinxed the Blue Jays. Ground ball to third. It’s a foul ball. Emanuel Rivera is playing at third base right now. Jeremiah Jackson’s out of the ball game. Matt, you picking up what I’m putting down. Hey, by the way, here’s the call of the actual moment that you had a problem with on the air last night. Regardless, Matteo stands at third now with one down. Matteo the winning run on at third. Carlson at second. Holiday aboard at first. Did he just refer to Matteo as the winning run at third? Regardless, Matteo stands at third now with one down. Matteo the winning run on at third. Carlson at second. Holiday pitch gets away. Bisio will not be able to prevent Cruz from advancing to third base. A bad time for a wild pitch. The Ghost Runner now 90 ft away with only one out. Bad time for a wild pitch. Matt, you you figuring out the point I’m making yet? Earth to Matt. One on, one out. The runner is at third. The graphics team at Madison needs to catch up. Payoff pitch to Deanny. Hit on the ground. Foul. The infield is playing in trying to cut Cruz down at the plate. Boy, Matt’s gone awfully quiet. Hey, here’s another guy, Matt. Now the winning run coming to the plate. Ryan Roberts. This ball’s fouled back. It’s still three and two on Deann. It’s almost like referring to the runner that would be the winning run is a normal thing to do in broadcasting. Matt payoff pitch to Deanny again called strike three. Oh, doctor. A late call by the ump. Deanny was looking a little sheepish. making his way to first base. It’s as if he knew he got rung up. Was hoping he wouldn’t hear the words, but Albert Suarez front doors Deanni with a called strike three. Second out of the inning. And boy, my my friend has gone awfully quiet. Matt, don’t you have anything you want to say? Gi Juan Bay is due up next. Drew French is talking to the ump, not to Albert. What could this conversation be about? Another umpire is motioning. Are they talking about a rain delay? Don’t be talking. Okay. Oh, no. Not a rain delay, but they are going to manicure the pitching mound. Pitching mound is is uh quite wet. And we got a groundskeeper out here splashing some dry sand on top and mixing it in with a rake. All right, folks. Big moment in the ball game here. Over 200 people watching. You’ve showed up at the right time. You’re you’re here just in time for a groundskeeper to rake the pitching mound. Here is the situation. It’s the top of the 10th inning. The Pirates ghost runner is at third base. We’re still tied at one. There’s two down in the inning. Albert Suarez is the oral pitcher. And uh after uh after a request by the pitching coach Drew French, uh we’re able to get that mound a little better shape for Albert as rain has been falling here for probably over an hour at this point. Not hard rain, not enough to stop the game, but after so much time, it’s a wet field. All right, here we go. First pitch to Bay. He shows bunt and they have to appeal whether or not he got that bat head back. Apparently he did. Pitch was off the plate. It’s 1 and0. Look out for that suicide squeeze. Obviously, the only infielder playing in right now is Rivera at third. The 10 swing and a miss. Bay chased the high fast ball. One ball, one strike. Bay is walked twice tonight. 0 for one otherwise. The 1-1 fouled straight back. We are one strike away from keeping this tied and going to the bottom of the tenth with a ghost runner in scoring position. Come on, Charm City. Oh, yeah. And mods, please help out by convincing folks tuning in right now that hey, subscribe. I’d go through all that, but we’re in a big moment here. The one two pitch, curveball up and away, two and two. All right, here’s the short pitch, folks. If you’re watching, you’re new to the channel, guess what? You lucked out. This channel’s great. I call baseball games. I call them rather well. We have a good time. Subscribe. There you go. Two two pitch up and in. Bay has to lean out of the way. It is a full count. Why is it so difficult to just throw strikes to this guy? He’s batting 071. Come on, throw a strike and let’s get to the bottom of the tenth. Full count on Bay. A pitch. He has a comebacker. Albert to first in time. We’re going to the bottom of the tenth. We’re going to walk this sucker off. Let’s go. Where is my friend? Where is my friend Matt? Matt like, come on, Matt. Don’t you remember all those nice things you were saying in the chat after the game was even over? You stuck around for the whole thing. You don’t remember typing, jinxed us in the 10th, kept your mouth shut in the 11th. Yeah, you remember telling me that I kept my mouth shut like I’m four years old. Uh, Dr. Delay, he tried to jinx us. You wrote, “He tried. He failed, but he tried.” You wrote, “Yeah, he said he hit the winning play in the 10th.” LOL. Major oops. You wrote, “Matt, any of this ring a bell, pal? I know you’re listening. Why don’t you defend yourself? You were on the offense last night. How about play a little defense? Show me you’re a a two-way player. Come on, bud. Come on. I’m in a mood. Hey, Colton Cowser is going to lead it off. That means Basio is the ghostr runner. And again, I do think he got to go to Matteo as a pinch runner here, right Sammy, we love you, but we you’re not in the game for the legs. All right, let’s get Matteo on at second. Cowser’s do up. Daniel Johnson and Dylan Beavers to follow. And I guess I’ll never hear from Matt like again. Gee, Matt, I mean, you made so much effort to try to ruin everything last night, but zero effort to acknowledge anything tonight. That’s sort of strange. Really kind of speaks to your character, doesn’t it? Thanks for participating, Matt. You will be missed. All right, bottom of the tenth. Here we go. Now that I’m done talking about that [ __ ] who’s ready to walk this off? Kyle Nicholas, right-hander on the mound. 25th appearance of the season. 4.65 erra, a 129 whip. Here we go. Matteo is the ghost runner. Cowser at the plate showing bunt brings the bathe head back. The pitch is low. Ball one, folks. God, Matt got eviscerated. Holy cow. Pitch now. Cowser does not show bunt. The pitch is a curve ball low and in. It’s 2 and 0. Cowser drew a walk in extra innings to help get that walk off last night. Will he do it here again? 20 shows bunt does not offer. It’s low. Ball three. 3 0. It’s ball four. Take your base, milkman. I’m walking here. I’m walking here. Yeah. If you’re wondering what made me laugh, it was Gary’s line. Gary, fantastic work, my friend. You win comment of the night. Here is All right, Jackson. You got a bunt or Johnson, sorry. Daniel Johnson shows bunt. Brings the bathead back for ball one. Nicholas can’t throw strikes. Johnson very much going to bunt here. It’s a must. Lay one down. The pitch up and away. Ball two. Nicholas can’t find the zone. Nicholas cannot find the zone. 2 and 0 on Daniel Johnson. The winning run. I’m sorry. The wouldbe winning run at second base. What was I thinking? Two and 0 on Daniel Johnson. The pitch bunt shown. He takes a strike. Two and one the count. All right. No more showing. Just do it. No more showing a bunt to take a strike. You can take a ball. Bunk shown again. He gets it down. It’s perfect. It’s absolutely perfect. Everybody’s safe. Everybody’s safe. Daniel Johnson. That’s a bunt. Yes. Bases loaded. Nobody out. The wouldbe winning run 90 ft away. And it’s Dylan Beavers, folks. Show me your beavers and show them quick. Nice beaver. Thank you. Crowd on their feet. First pitch taken a slider. Strike one. Beavers has a hit. Has a walk. All we need here is Oh, there’s a lot of ways. Come on. The 01 breaking ball. He takes it. Oh, that was a curve ball that could have been destroyed. He took it. It’s 0 and two. Come on, Beavers. Come on, buddy. Make some contact. 02 pitch low. Beavers. He lays off a pitch that started at the bottom of the zone and broke down. Designed to get a chase. He did not take the bait. It is a ball and two strikes. Pitch low again. Two and two, folks. Two and two. Folks, I’m a professional. Show me your Beavers. Two balls, two strikes, nobody out. Bases loaded. The pitch swung on. Fouled off the tarp on the first base side of the field. Still two and two. The Orioles looking for their third walk off of this home stand pitch low. We got a full count. There’s nowhere to put him, folks. Nowhere to put him. Full count. Base is loaded. The pitch up and away. Oh, he swung. That was ball four. Beavers swung at the win, but the atbat will continue as it’s fouled away. Still three and two. Nicholas. The next pitch swung on. Base hit it. We win it. It’s a fair ball down the right field line. Matteo scores. The Orioles walk it off again. Hallelujah. Two to one in 10 innings. Oh, doctor. It’s magic. Oh, and I want to give all the credit to my buddy My buddy Matt like Mr. Jinx, ever since you showed up, you [ __ ] we can’t stop walking it off. Thank you so much, folks. Celebrate R. Magic. Magic. Magic. Magic. Oreos. Magic. Oh my god, it feels so good. It feels so good. Santa Claus is in the building. The oral bird is doing laps, waving the oral flag. Dylan Beavers, you’re my hero. He pulled that ball down the first baseline. A double all the way, but it didn’t matter. All he had to do was touch first to make it official. The Orioles walk it off again. And yes, I will say what I said earlier. Tomorrow, worst case scenario, we win the series. Best case, we sweep it. That statement is still true. It took a lot to get there, but hey. Woweez. What a ball game, folks. How do you feel? Charm City Chad, come on. Don’t hold back. How do you feel? 236 people here right now. Folks, do me a favor. If you just found the channel, subscribe.

We should have no problem getting the likes over 150. We’re almost there. There’s over 200 people here. All right, I’ll stop talking about it. Let’s get back to this ball game. Dylan Beavers is being interviewed right now. All right, so final score in 10 innings, Orioles two, Pirates one. The Orioles, two runs on seven hits, no errors. Pittsburgh one run. They only had two hits on the night. They also did not make an error. Of the two hits for Pittsburgh, one of them was a solo home run by Spencer Horowitz in the top of the fourth inning. That got the scoring started, but that was all Pittsburgh could do. The Orioles had to wait until the eighth inning to tie it up when Jackson Holiday came up with two down to get an RBI single that scored Colton Cowser. Uh, extra innings came. Ghostrunner situations presented itself and for the second night in a row, we did not allow the opponent’s Ghost Runner to score. It took two innings of extras last night for us to finally walk it off. Tonight it only took one. And that was thanks to well really thanks to the pitcher Nicholas. He could not throw strikes. His final line, no innings pitched, no outs, two hits in a walk. And uh thank you so much for basically taking five innings of Paul Skins and erasing uh his non-hitable stuff. Now why Paul Skins was only able to go five innings on 64 pitches, I don’t know. Uh I think there must have been some kind of precautionary measure taken. Uh he didn’t show any signs of an issue on the mound. I don’t know if anybody out there. Let me just Google Google. Let me let me let me hit the social media. I’m just going to type in skins and see what I might find. Because it was odd for him to get removed to the from the game at that point. Well, Cody says pirates should be ashamed of themselves. People pay to watch the games. They come to see athletes be athletes. How is Paul Ski out of this game right now? 64 pitches, eight strikeouts through five. Biggest star in the league. And this is what you give the fans. Disgusting. Well, gee, Cody, tell me how you really feel. Uh, Skins got pulled after 64 pitches. Nobody is saying anything about an Yeah, I don’t know why they took him out so early. skins pulled for absolutely no reason and a lot of cursing in that one. I can’t now everybody’s saying it’s rigged. A lot of people talking about their bets ruined because of this. You know how that all goes. Yeah, I don’t see anything talking about any issue with skins. Why did they pull him? Why did they pull him? I don’t know. But thank you cuz every inning he was out there was just another inning where we knew we weren’t going to score. He only goes five. Ladinski went two innings in relief. He did fine. Didn’t give up a hit or a run. Struck out two. Walked a pair. Matson went an inning. He was tested. Gave up three hits and the tying run. He’s the one that gave up that two out knock to Holiday. Dennis Santana score uh pitch a scoreless ninth to get it to extras. And then Nicholas in the tenth again could not get anybody out. Tyler Wells goes six and two/3 innings. He looked good. 89 pitches, six strikeouts, one walk, one hit. The home run to Horowitz. 2.31 ERA. Shawn Dubin got the final, no, he got the last out in the seventh and the first out in the eighth. Uh with a hit and a walk mixed in there. Cage Strad got the final two outs in the eighth on seven pitches with a strike out. Rico Garcia then pitched the ninth. He did give up a walk but got through that. And then Albert Suarez pitches the top of the tenth. He gets the win. Suarez inherits a ghost runner and does not allow him to score. Suarez the win. Nicholas the loser. The Orioles are now nine games under 500. Are we still doing this? 13-4, folks. 17 games left. 13 and4. Every time we bring up what it takes to get back to 500. It sounds a little more realistic, a little more possible. Maybe not probable. Not yet. But 13 and four. I don’t know. Let’s just keep doing what we’re doing, I guess. Wow. All right. So, Pirates, meanwhile, they fall to 64 and 82. They have officially guaranteed them guaranteed themselves a losing season. Uh, let’s see. Left on base, the Pirates left five. We left seven. Time of the game, 2 hours and 58 minutes. less than they’re saying 18,200 people are at the ballpark. I would say by the sixth inning there was 8,000 at most. I mean this ballpark was there was a very it was a very small crowd to watch this game play out in the late innings. Lots of rain. Uh getting late I guess. Not really. still it’s still not even a4 to 9 right now uh these early starts but anyway a lot of people either didn’t show up or left once the weather got bad uh so we win this series we’re looking for a sweep tomorrow and then uh we hit the road going north of the border to play the Blue Jays this weekend it’s going to be our next to last road trip the final road trip is just the final three games of the season in the Bronx. We are running out of ball games, folks. Melanie Newman popping the collar tonight. Eyebrows extra arched. How you doing, Melanie? Folks, this was a fun game to call. Hope you enjoyed it. Uh, no super chats tonight. Gee, a walk-off win without a single super chat. I’m not going to complain. Why should I complain? It’s just another fantastic call. Just another fantastic call and a real happy win. Why would I com why why would I bring that up? Hey, we’ve got likes up over 150. That’s good. Let’s look at the subscriber sitch. How we doing? Anybody sub it up tonight? I’m looking. By the way, what happened to my buddy? He never replied. It’s like he just vanished. 3,437 subscribers. 3,437 bird watchers. Three more to 3440. Let’s go. Phantom just got here. Phantom. Well, let me tell you something. It’s yet another ball game in this past week that if I were you, uh, listen to the replay. These games are all archived, folks, since this channel started. Every single game is available to go back and check it out. He did reply. Oh, what did I get? I missed. Oh, there he is. Hey, I saw you corrected yourself with the whip. No, I didn’t correct myself. Matt, again, do you need more evidence? You ever heard of Bob Uker? You ever heard of him? Does the Indians have the winning scoring position? You ever heard of him, dude? I just wanted to say it takes a man to admit when he’s wrong. I didn’t admit I was wrong, Matt. Uh, this would be an example of you having the uh ability to I I can’t say it. I I don’t see how there’s anything you can do that would have me define you as a man. Uh, but anyway, I appreciate you correcting your commentary. Do you realize how much of an [ __ ] you are, dude? Like, do you know, like, apparently you’ve got the awareness to call everybody else out for whatever tickytac thing, but do you have the self-awareness to understand just how much of an [ __ ] you are? I’m just wondering. I’m curious, honestly. Do you know I I I’m looking, by the way, Matt, for anybody to like back you up. I’m not seeing it, dude. Nobody else seems to care. Do you ever stop and go to yourself, gee, I’m in a room with hundreds of people. I say something, nobody else is on board. I wonder what I just said maybe isn’t really valid or Yeah, Matt. Uh, there’s a reason why I didn’t ban you from my channel. because I wanted you to show up and I’m glad you did. And guess what happens now, Matt? Now that you’ve had your moment in the sun, I’m going to ban you permanently. You’re not a part of our community here. We don’t want someone like you here. And yes, I say we. I’m speaking on behalf of the channel. You don’t. Goodbye, Matt. Good night forever. And he’s gone. And he’s gone. Matt, parting is such sweet sorrow, my friend. Oh, Matt. Oh, Matt. The memories of two nights of baseball games together, you and me, two walk-off wins, the way I called it, having absolutely nothing to do with the outcome. And and we get to enjoy the win. Ah, Matt. And Matt, I know you stuck around last night hoping that the team you apparently root for would lose just so you could rub in my face that I was the one that jinxed it. That’s why you stuck around. You were hoping, that is how messed up you are in your brain. You were hoping for your own team to lose so that you could rub it in and accuse me of jinxing it and have a laugh to yourself. That’s your mentality, dude. Does that sound healthy to you? Does that sound healthy to you? Work on it, Matt. It’s been a public service announcement from your friend BW. Take care. All right, everybody else. That’s the last time I’ll talk about him, unless we’re just making a passing joke if some other similar situation comes up down the line, and it probably will. Uh, because we spend a lot of hours together here, but for now, that closes the book on Matt like bye Matt, you dick. All right, tomorrow the final game of this series. BW is a nice guy. Uh, first pitch is going to be at 10:05 p.m. The stream will start at 12:50 p.m. Kade Povich will take the mound against Johan Oeddo. Oedo with a record of 2-0. He’s only gone 20 innings, but he’s been pretty good. 2.70 RA, 1.10 10 whip. He does walk, guys. 11 walks in 20 innings. That is more than four and a half per nine. That is a walk more than one per every other inning. That is not good. So, I would say let’s show some patience. Let’s show Oedo our Beavers tomorrow and uh you know take some pitches. Kate Povich is 3 and seven. and his erra 5.16. And uh yeah, that about does her. Uh looking around, the Yankees are about to lose. They are down seven to the Tigers. Uh White Socks have come back. They are ahead by a run on the Rays. How far are we behind the Rays now to get out of this damn basement? If the Rays lose tonight, we will be four games behind the Rays. That’s still a lot to make up with not a whole lot of time, but we do play them head-to-head for three. That’s right. We need to sweep them. If we sweep the Rays at home in our final home stand, maybe we can get the hell out of the the basement. That would be nice. Okay, folks. I think that is going to just about do it. It’s been one crazy night again. Uh I want to thank the mods here for doing another bangup job keeping the charm city chat nice and charming even when BW himself isn’t necessarily having a charming night. But you know I had uh I had to get my comeuppance. Okay. Somebody somebody needed their comeuppance and I had to be the one to deliver it. Okay, I just Amazon primed that guy out of my community. Thank you. Go away. Uh thanks to the mods. Thanks. Uh we had a we had a uh magic membership tonight. Uh who was that? I forget. I apologize for forgetting. I honestly can’t even remember if Andrea came in to deliver one or if somebody else just randomly signed up. Either way, thank you for that. Thank you everything. Thank you for all the likes. Appreciate it, folks. Come on back tomorrow afternoon. We’re looking to sweep. Uh time is running out on the season, so don’t skip a ball game. Uh we’ve had a lot to enjoy here lately. Let’s keep it going. All right, folks. That’s going to do it for me. Have a good rest of your night. Looks like I’m signing off at the right time because the voice is starting to crack. Let me see if there is another person out there live streaming a sporting event. And if so, I’ll send you over that way. Wow, I just missed JJ. He signed off 16 seconds ago according to this. Let’s see what else is going on here. Surely, surely. Uh, Fitzy, Fitzy, you doing a game? Tigers, Yankees. All right, folks. Fitzy is covering the Yankees again. I don’t know why, but uh you can go over there and laugh at the Yankees who are about to lose. That sounds like fun, right? Going to send you now to Thomas Fitzpatrick. Laugh at the Yankees. Okay. And give Fitzy a nice like and subscription. It’s free. Help him out. All right. Okay, folks. It’s been a pleasure until tomorrow afternoon, which for me will be about midnight tonight. So, if I’m wearing this same shirt, that’s the reason. It’s still the same day for me. Uh it’ll be 11:50 p.m. when I go on air tonight. Uh so, I’ll see you then in about uh what is it? 15 hours. Okay. Till then, this has been the bird watcher and the hat. We did it again. We walked it off. Orioles magic, folks.
