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 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. Ky saw all the games. Knew the players by their first names. Told the umpire he was wrong all along. Good and strong. When the score was just two to two, Katy Casey knew what to do. just to cheer up the boys she knew. She made the gang sing this song. Please take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and crack a jack. I don’t care if I never get back. Let me 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. So, it’s it’s not the best option, but it just is what it is. So, it’s it’s not the best option, but it just is what it is. I’ll move the guys quickly just to forget this one. Greetings folks and welcome to live coverage of Orioles baseball where this afternoon the Baltimore Orioles will be playing their final home game of the 2025 season wrapping up a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 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. That works for me. And yes, folks, uh, the season is winding down. Winding down. One game left at home today. This is it. Won’t be playing here again until uh I don’t know, the next season schedule is out. Do we have a home game in March or does it not happen till first week of April? Whatever. It’s going to be a while. Uh, so let’s try to enjoy this one today. Uh let’s try to finish on a positive note at home. Uh if we beat Tampa, we still have an outside shot at uh maybe No, we’re three games back. I mean, we’d have to No, we’re not. We’re ah well, we we’ll have a reason to want to sweep the Yankees this weekend. I’ll tell you that. We’ll have a reason. Let’s win today. And uh let’s dream big in the Bronx. Uh final game at home this season. The Orioles are 10 games under 500, 74 and 84. Rays are three games ahead of us. Uh we lost last night and that pretty much buried us in terms of a last place finish. That’s going to take basically us winning out and Tampa losing out. Uh otherwise, in fact, what is our head-to-head record against Tampa? Just just uh Wow, we’re tied at six. You know, this game means something. You know, can we do something today? Can we win this? Let’s show up. Let’s show up. I don’t know how many people are going to show up for this game. Uh but, uh how about we show up? All right, final pitching matchup at Oral Park at Camden Yards in 2025 will feature Cade Povich for Baltimore. He has a record of 3 and8, a 5.06 erra, a 1.46 whip. He’ll be facing a right-hander for the Rays, Drew Rasmmanson. He has a record of 10 and five, a 2.80 erra with a 1.01 whip. That those are very good numbers. 147 and 2/3 innings. So, he’s not going to make 162 innings. He is going to fall short. Let’s say he just goes five innings or even six innings today. That puts him at 152, 153 innings. That’s nine innings short of the 162 inning uh limit that you need to qualify for things like best erra, best whip. Uh, and I’ve been saying this, I do think baseball needs to lower that minimum innings pitch number down because in the modern game, you know, there’s just less and less starters that are able to go 162 innings. Uh, it basically means a full season without injury for in some cases guys that only go five innings, 30 starts. You do the math. Uh anyway, a very good uh erra of 2.80 and whip of 1.01 for Drew Rasmusen. Uh hopefully we will uh do better than that. Uh score more than a couple of runs. Uh okay, the starting lineups. First of all, for the Orioles, uh you’re probably wondering how Sammy Basio is doing. They did take a x-ray of his forearm there. Nothing is broken. Nothing is broken on our boy Sammy Basio. That is good news. Uh whether or not he’ll make the lineup tomorrow night in New York or for any of the games this weekend uh is unknown. Uh, I’m sure the Orioles aren’t going to push it if they feel like it is pushing it to bring him back into the lineup with just a few games left. But, uh, the good news is nothing is broken with, uh, Basio getting hit by a pitch in the ninth inning. And, uh, regarding that incident, I didn’t really see it happen in real time as the game ended, but, uh, it certainly blew up around social media. Peter Fairbanks, Ray’s relief pitcher who pitched the final inning and hit Pasio leading off the ninth uh after the game ended was seen blowing a kiss toward the direction of the Orioles dugout and basically looking like he was showing up the Orioles and uh it uh it stirred up a lot of uh controversy on social media which of course that expression alone phone is kind of laughable. Stirring up controversy on social media. I mean, it’s like it’s the only reason it’s around, right? To stir something up. But let me just show you something, folks, that convinces me that uh what Fairbanks said uh postgame in an interview that he was not uh directing his uh emotions at the Orioles dugout or any of the players there. He was directing it toward a fan that was apparently giving him a lot of flack uh sitting near the stands. And folks, let me just show you how I know this to be true. I believe him. Okay, I actually uh I believe him. I don’t think he’s making it up. And uh here’s my evidence. Exhibit A. Uh over here, we’re going on my desktop. So, these are a couple of screenshots that I froze. Uh, uh, first he sort of scream something, an expletive of some sort, and then, uh, moments later that’s blowing the kiss. In both situations, folks, all you have to understand is the ey line here. Um, this is a man standing on a field. He’s about six feet tall. Uh, if he’s looking at the oral dugout, his eyes would be looking in this direction. Okay? He would be looking at least like straight across, if not slightly downward because you walk down into the dugout, folks, in case you didn’t know. Um, and again, you look right here. He is he is looking in this direction. Okay? He’s looking that way. That is where he’s looking. Okay. Yeah. I hate I’m sorry I’m breaking this down like the Zaprruder film, but uh you know, I see people out there going, “Man, no. He he he meant that and we got to we got to do something. We got to retaliate.” Listen, folks. Just look at the ey line. All right? That is not the oral dugout he’s looking at. Okay? So, if we were to retaliate uh based on pressure by fans that can’t like put two and two together, uh we would be the bums in this situation. We would be the jerkoffs. No, we should not be going after a raise batter today. Okay, so let’s just nip all that in the bud. Uh, we’re five minutes away from first pitch and uh, what is Kevin Brown and Ben McDonald doing? They are in the broadcast booth with three 7 ft tall hot dogs. Okay, I don’t know. Some kind of a gimmick is going on. I don’t know what’s going on. Let’s go over the uh, starting lineup. Okay, for the Rays leading off playing right field, Jake Mangum. Yandi Diaz will DH and bat second. Junior Camroero will play third and hit third. Christopher Morell gets his first start of the series, batting cleanup and playing in left field. Richie Palasios, the second baseman, will hit fifth. Nick Forez will do the catching and bat sixth. Creed Williams, is it Creed? I’m guessing. Oh, Carson Williams. Creed Williams. That’s somebody in our uh system. Carson Williams is the shortstop hitting seventh. Uh what’s this guy’s name? Everson Pereira will bat eighth and play center field. And Bob Seymour, just I don’t know why his name makes me laugh, but uh first baseman Bob Seymour is batting ninth for the Orioles. Dylan Beavers for the second straight game is going to get to lead off. Jordan Westber. Oh, he’s in left field by the way. Jordan Westber is at third base batting second. Gunnar Henderson at shortstop hitting third. Ryan Mount Castle dhing cleanup hitter. Jeremiah Jackson in right field today batting fifth. Colton Cowser hitting sixth in center field. Mayo at first base hitting seventh. Austin Jackson will bat eighth and do the catching. and Jorge Matteo folks one more time at home maybe for the last time. Jorge Mateo playing second base today. Jackson Holiday uh has like a knee issue that the Orioles are saying is not a big deal. He they left him out of the game last night. He’s out of the game again tonight. Uh, same old story with every other day-to-day injury for an Orio. The manager Tony Mancelino basically saying, “Well, we hope we see him out there tomorrow.” We hope. We don’t know. Speaking of Manscolino, what did I see him say that drove me nuts? Oh, being asked about if the Orioles are gonna do what it takes to win these ball games against the Yankees this weekend, like really try to play to win or are they gonna just stick guys in there to get a look at a player or whatever that you might do uh at the end of a season uh without anything on the line. Quote from Tony, we’re going to try to win. There might be a scenario where we jam somebody in there, but we’re trying to win those games without a doubt. We’ll do the best we can out of respect to the rest of the industry and the other teams. I don’t think that we mess around with that. I think we do the best we can and kind of let the chips fall where they may. Now, it’s just one little I mean, maybe I’m nitpicky, folks. Maybe I am nitpicky. I don’t think that we mess around with that. I just just I just wish statements would be a little more firm. Like we don’t mess around with that. We do the best we can and let the chips fall worth me. It’s the I don’t think part and I think part. I don’t think that we mess around with that. Well, there’s not much to think about. Do you mess around with that or don’t you? I think we do the best we can and kind of let the chips No, we do the best we can. Drop the I think part, Tony. Just a little advice from your old pal BW. Have some conviction when you’re when you’re speaking. Okay. Some conviction. Thank you. All right. Um, what else is going on? I don’t know. First pitch should be moments away here. Am I not live? I think I’m live. Commercial break in progress. This supposed to start 5 minutes after the hour, right? Oh, there was some rain. Uh there’s been rain in the area. Maybe there’s a slight delay to the start of the game. I don’t know. Um apologies, by the way. I’m dealing with a little bit of uh what do you call it? Uh acid reflux. Uh coffee probably not helping. But I’m all out of uh Rolades or whatever the hell. So uh I’m stuck. I’m stuck. See, now it just jumped off. There is something going on with this. Are we live or what? Okay, there we go. Kade Povich is getting the ball back. We are about to get started. Kade Povich, this is his 20th start of the season. He’s made a couple of relief appearances or couple of games where he pitched like a starter but a reliever started the game. Uh we’re ready for baseball folks. Jake Mangum is stepping in the batters box for the Rays. Final game of the season at home for the Orioles. First pitch is fouled straight back. All right. All right. So, Jake Mangum, Yandi Diaz, Junior Camro, the three hitters due up for the Rays to start the ball game. Ground ball, diving attempt by Gunner. He won’t get to it. It gets into left field for a base hit. Jake Mangum leads off the ball game. Second pitch into left field and there goes the no no for Cade Povich. Defensively for Baltimore, Beavers in left, Cowser in center, Jeremiah in right, Westber at third, Gunnar at short, Matteo at second, Mayo at first, and Alex Jackson behind the plate. Yandi Diaz is up and he looks at a curveball for strike one. The veteran Diaz with a 300 season 301 at the moment. 25 homers, 83 driven in. Povich with a check on Mangum at first. He’s back. Let’s see if this uh scoreboard is working up in just a moment. Next pitch is a curveball, a comebacker to Povich. He bobbles it and he will still get Yandi Diaz at first base. A smile on Povich’s head, on his head, on his face as he uh is able to recover after having some difficulty fielding this comebacker. Uh Diaz does not get the down the line fast. In fact, he was not hustling. If he was running out of the box, he does make it. He only did start to put it into full gear once he saw Povich bobble the ball. So, there you go, folks. Hustle. Got to hustle. Runner at second with one down now. So, Mangum, the leadoff hitter, does move up a base on that out. Junior Camero, a 44 home run season at the plate. First pitch is ball one. Next pitch is fouled back. One ball and one strike on Junior Camero. All right, folks. How the hell is Charm City Chad doing? What? How are we doing? How we looking early here? I’m worried we’re going to have a tiny tiny turnout on this weekday after of course we’re the first game on again. I I got to I want to start a petition. Uh this cutter from Povich misses up and away. Two balls and a strike. The Orioles for whatever reason have decided that they want to start their night games. We can’t even call them night games because they start so damn early. Uh popped up foul. Two and two on Camro. One out with a runner at second. We’re in the top of the first, no score. Uh we start our games like at 6:30 on weekday after weekday evenings. Everybody else starts 7 o’clock or later. We used to always start at 7 or 7:30 is what I remember growing up. Can we get back to doing that, please? Uh 22 pitch is fouled away. Uh it’s actually hurting my channel the way that they schedule these games the earliest all the time. Uh 22 pitch. That pitch is fouled back. All right. I mean, nobody here would mind, right, if we went back to like 7:05, 7:15, maybe even a 7:35 start once in a while. most of the time. Full count on Camero. Here comes the payoff pitch. Popped up right field. Coming in is Jeremiah and he will make the catch. Two down here in the top of the first. Mangum at second base. Folks, I’m sorry to report, but it looks like we’re going to be just a little bit shy of a sellout here on the final home game of the season. Shy by about I don’t know 70% of the ballpark. Christopher Morell at the plate looks at a cutter high for ball one. Morell hitting 223 fouls of the 10 pitch straight back. It’s one ball, one strike. Morell again not in the game first two games of this series but hitting cleanup against a lefty starter. I think that tells you the Rays uh probably only really use morale against lefties. Probably can’t hit righties very well at all. One-1 pitch again. Fouled straight back. The count is one and two. Two down. Next pitch from Cade Povich. Check swing foul by Morell. We’ll do it again at one and two. Orioles are wearing their traditional home white uniforms. Rays have on their Oh, what shade of blue would you call it? Blue shirts, gray pants. Another one two pitch coming to Morell. Curve ball misses. Oh, that was a change up. It never broke and it stayed outside by a foot. It’s two and two. I was hoping where that pitch started it was going to break over the corner. It was a change up. Two balls, two strikes. The pitch. There’s a curveball hit in the air left center field. Hower is going to have room about two steps in front of the warning track and the inning is over as he makes the catch. All right, Kate Povich leadoff man gets on with a hit, but uh that’s it. Doesn’t get farther than second base. We go to the bottom of the first raise nothing and the Orioles are coming up. Charm City chat, how you doing? How you doing? How you doing, David? David, once again, man, I don’t know what’s it been like three days. Thank you so much for having the uh the uh imagination, the Macgyver kind of imagination to to figure out how to wake me up and uh so that I didn’t completely sleep through a ball game a few days ago. George, how you doing? Jordan, Don, another George. We got a Pearson. We got a Ford. Hello to both Georgees. Bam is here. Edward, Froggy, Mr. Hyde, uh, Yoko, hello. No volume. Uh, you guys can hear me, right? Uh, Looks like the same names I’m seeing here. Rod is here. Erica, Bud, Bud, Kurt. I think I’m all caught up. All right, folks. 56 people here. 23 have hit the like button. That’s less than half the final home game of the season. Let’s get some nice numbers in on the like count today. Please tap that thumbs up at the bottom of your screen. We got Drew Rasmusen for the Rays. First pitch to Dylan Beavers fouled away. 31st start for Rasmusen. 10 and5 record and good numbers up and down the board here. 01 pitches inside the Beavers, folks. Nice, Beaver. Thank you. We’ve only got a couple games left. Everybody’s got to get excited and put some beavers in the chat for crying out loud. One-1 pitch is low. Two balls and a strike, folks. You’re going to have all of October, November, December, January, February, most of March to rest and not worry about emojis. But today, show me your damn Beavers. Come on, Charm City chat. Final home game of the season. Show me something. You think I’m just uh going through the motions here? No. Two and two the count on beavers. Still no beavers in the chat. I’m I’m I’m actually getting upset. You’re upsetting me. It’s a full count. Ah, thank you. Thank you, Charm City chat. Thank you. Now we can proceed. Payoff pitch fouled back. Dylan Beavers, ladies and gentlemen. My god, look at that upper deck. There are like three people per section. Another 3-2 from Rasmusen is fouled away again. So, a good opening at bat here from Beavers. like to see pitches. He’s seen seven on already. 3-2 again. That is on the outside edge. Called strike three. Beavers goes down looking. But if there’s such a thing as a quality strikeout for a hitter, I’d say it’s that you made the pitcher throw eight pitches. You gave your teammates something to see. So hopefully we’ll uh make use of that first out. Here’s Jordan Westber. First pitch is a tapper at the plate. It’s a foul ball. Westber, folks. Well, West is that way. Let’s see how quickly Charm City Chat responds to Westber at the plate. 264 average, 15 home runs. 01 misses. One ball, one strike. The one-1 pitch hit on the ground right to short and Westber is retired on a routine grounder. Six to three on the put out. Two away in the bottom of the first. Defensively for Tampa, Morell in left, Pereira in center, Mangum in right, Camroero at third, Williams at short, Palasios at second, Seymour at first, and Forz behind the plate. Don’t quiz me on that. Uh, curveball to Gunner Henderson. starts high and stays high for ball one. His name’s Gunnar and he’s dating my mom. Can we get Gunner to 70 RBI this season? He’s three shy with three games plus today to go. 10 is inside. It’s 2 and 0. Unbelievable what’s happened to this offense in the past year. struggling to find one guy to hit 70 RBI. That is swung on and missed. Gunner with a big cut on 20. The 2-1 is swung on and missed. 97 on the fast ball from Rasmusen on the outside edge. Two balls, two strikes, two out. Base is empty in the bottom of the first and the 2-2. He lays off a pitch low. Full count. And we’re ready for the payoff pitch. That is a little one hopper to second base. And Gunner is going to beat it out. That play just developing slowly. And Gunner, man, I’ll tell you this, he does hustle. I caught him one time this season not busting it down the line. Otherwise, he’s constantly running his ass off and uh he beats this one out. So, Gunner reaches with two down. First base runner of the day for the Orioles. Ryan Mount Castle at the plate. Fouls the first pitch back. That is a hit for Gunnar. I was slightly wondering if they might charge an error on the play. Just wanted to be sure. Gunner took off on the first pitch here to Mount Castle. We’ll return the first base after the foul ball. So, Gunner, yeah, he’s led the league in steals since August 23rd with 13. He has been running his butt off, I guess, to help make up for the lack of RBI production. Here’s a ground ball to short. And that ball’s just thrown away. Holy cow. A bad throw by Carson Williams on a routine ground ball from Ryan Mount Castle. This inning will continue. I was a little bit wondering about Gunner whether it was a hit or an error. Not wondering here. That is an error as the ball flies over the first baseman. Doesn’t go out of play. Uh so first and second with two down here. And then E6 for Tampa. Jeremiah Jackson up. First pitch is off the plate, folks. We got a rally here. The 10. There goes the runner down to third and he’s out. Gunner says he wants this to be challenged as he just trying to save face cuz the ball certainly beat him there. And if we are thrown out, what are we doing with two down trying to do something like this? We’ll see if Gunner did a swim move to get around the tag here. And he might have. But does he keep his hand? Does he keep something on the bag? He might. I think we should challenge this. It’s just hard to tell. There are a lot of moments during this slide where some part of him might not be touching the base. He lets his hand off, his foot’s touching, but then there’s a moment where his foot is off as well, while the tag is still there. It’s a messy situation. I still think regardless if we win this challenge, that was not the smartest decision to send these runners. I don’t mind it with one out. Uh I mind it with two out though. So, they are in New York. A few uh dudes sitting in the dark watching this play over and over and again, Gunner does sneak his hand in there. He does, but his momentum takes him into foul ground with his foot being the only thing touching the base. And for a moment, nothing is touching the base. And there you go. The umpire explaining gunner is out because he lost contact with the bag. So he had it. The hand got in there and uh the foot took over where the hand left off, but then that play lasted a few seconds and the third baseman Gamro very intelligent just keeping that tag applied until the play was completely called dead. And that is the case. Gunner for a moment. Uh lost contact with the bag and he is indeed out. And that is how this first inning ends. Just ridiculous. Just ridiculous. Why Why are we trying to do that? Let Jeremiah swing the bat, man. You’re already in scoring position. I mean, look, a team that’s like in the zone, a team that’s like, you know, playing really well, they’re running, they’re firing on all cylinders, you know, they’re winning regularly, things are working. That’s when maybe you do that. Uh, this is like trying to, you know, start. It’s just it’s just too grand of a leap for the way things I don’t know. It’s just No. No. Anybody I even said even if we win this challenge, we shouldn’t have done it. Uh did you guys want to see that double steel? I don’t know. Hey, Canterus is here. Long time no see, buddy. Good to see you. Uh, it was a double steel, David. So, I think I think it was a call by Holy cow, man. What is What is Melanie Newman wearing today? Melanie, this is supposed to be journalism. Richie Palasios, first pitch up and in for ball one. I’m just having fun with you, hun. Don’t worry. If you want to wear the low cut tops, wear the low cut tops. It’s okay. Yeah. Palasio’s batting 294 with a homer and two RBI. Pitches up and in. The count is 2 and 0. That’s inside. Three balls, no strikes. Povich missing first three pitches of this leadoff man here in the second inning. A 3 0 taken all the way for ball four. That one was high. That is concerning. Povich missing with four straight and issuing a leadoff walk. Folks, we got a 100red people here. That’s great. 31 on the like count. That’s not so great. I’m very thankful to the 31 that have already chipped in to the other 60s something. Come on, folks. What do you say? Tap that thumbs up and let’s get these likes up to a hundo today. Nick Forz is at the plate. First pitch is a strike. Povich follows up with a curve ball in the dirt. The count is one and one. Forez hitting 223. Janet is with us, folks. Say hi to Janet. That’s a line drive base hit into left field. And that’ll put runners at first and second with nobody out. A four pitch walk. And now a single to left. And the Rays are threatening here. Two on, nobody out. Carson Williams do up next. Williams made the error in the last half inning in the field. Has a chance to make up for it here. And first pitch swinging could be two. Gunner will step on the second base bag. Goes to first. to a double play, folks. It’s a 663 double play or 63 if you like. A rally killer. Runner gets to third base on the play, but there are two down and the batter Everson Pereira First pitch to him swung on and missed a curve ball. So the runner at third again was that leadoff walk hoping it doesn’t come back to bite us. The 01 swung on and missed. Another curve ball from Povich. The count is 0 and2. Pereira hitting just 143. And those first two curve balls. He did not look good. Time is called. The Rays have the second worst batting average against lefties curve balls. And wow, I was saying if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Kane Povich, a third straight curveball out of the zone, chased and missed for strike three. Well, y’all come back now. You hear? All right. So, Povich does work around a leadoff walk. The Rays did have two on, nobody out. And easy peasy lemon squeezy. What’s the problem? We’re going to the bottom of the second. No score. All right. Well, there’s one other game that might have been on by now, but it’s in a rain delay. Pirates and Reds. Uh, another game won’t be starting for another hour. That will be the Twins and Rangers. Couple of games an hour after that. Everything else is in the evening tonight. How are we doing, Charm City Chat? Didn’t we have fun today with some uh 80s one hit wonder karaoke? It was helping us rally there for a minute and then it all fell apart, I tell you. And then we had that weird game a couple of days ago where we had like a dozen different people in the chat showing up talking about their bets. Was so weird. Like why are so many people here going crazy about their bets tonight? I don’t know. Fun. Yeah, of course, Chila. Like I was saying, we’re always the first game on. Always the early birds. I guess. By the way, Maryland lottery winner Loretta. Uh, all right. We’re in the bottom of the second. Jeremiah Jackson looks at ball one. He was at the plate when Gunner got thrown out trying to steal third to end the first inning. Swinging a miss. It’s one on the bullfrog. Bullfrog. One ball, one strike. Next pitch fouled away. Oh, I’m sure you’ll accept it if he does, David. Ball lifted out to right field. That one’s heading toward the wall. That ball is off the top of the scoreboard, David. Well, you got your wish. Jeremiah Jackson misses an opposite field home run to the flag court by a few feet. It’s off the top of the scoreboard and he is on with his 10th double of the season. A leadoff double for Baltimore, folks. Splash it up. Splash. Well, David, that’s what you wanted. That’s what you wanted. Yeah, but no, you wanted this, David. That’s what you wanted. Colton Cowser curveball up and away for ball one. David gets what he wants and is still frustrated. Folks, how do we do this? We’ve got cows are at the plate, folks. Moo. The count is two and 0. Fun fact, Cowser is one homer shy of the team tie for the team lead. It would match the number on his back. He wears number 17. He’s on 16 homers. The 2-1 pitch upstairs. Three and one. Hitters count. Runner in scoring position. Nobody out in a scoreless ball game. These are ripe conditions for something good to happen. 3-1 lays off ball four. Take your base, milkman. Hey, I’m walking here. I’m walking here. All right, top of the inning. The Rays had first and second, nobody out. They could not score. The Orioles, same opportunity. Can we cash in? Can we cash in? First and second, nobody out for Kobe Mayo. Batting seventh in the lineup today. And first pitch is off the plate. Couple inches for ball one, folks. Mayo needs one more homer to get to double digits. That’s a strike, a sinker. Middle of the plate. One ball and one strike. Just get it all on there. Just spread it out. Good speed on the bases. One- one pitch. Hit on the ground. Foul. Third base side. One and two. The count. I see no jars of mayo in the chat. I tell you what, folks. The Charm City chat just struggling low and away. Two balls, two strikes. Mayo hitting 306 in the month of September. And his ops is so much better than it had been the first few months. Still no mayo in the chat. The 22 pitch. O just missed the corner. Top outside corner. Well, what do we do here after getting thrown out running the bases last inning? I guess I don’t want to send the runners, but payoff pitch coming. That is low for ball four, folks. Base is loaded. Nobody out. I’m walking here. I’m walking here. All right. The good news is base is loaded, nobody out. The bad news is we need Alex Jackson and Jorge Matteo, the next two batters, to cash in on this opportunity. Jackson batting 227, but uh what’s good about his average is that when he does get hits, they’re usually of the extra base variety. He’s got a chance to knock in more than one run here. Uh Matteo, on the other hand, if Jackson doesn’t drive in a run, we’re going to start panicking that this golden opportunity is going to get wasted. We need something right now. Base is loaded, nobody out. First pitch to Alex Jackson, swinging a miss. Man, he committed. He absolutely committed to that pitch without really looking at it and uh it broke off the plate. It is strike one on Jackson. Next pitch, that one bounces and a nice play by Forz to keep that ball from getting away. One ball, one strike. Base is loaded and a ant crawling across my laptop. Get out of here, ant. One-1 pitch inside. Two and one, folks. Rasmmanson about to throw his 40th pitch and he’s only gotten three outs in the ball game. 2-1 to Alex Jackson. Blind foul down the third base line. Alex nearly finding extra bases. Oh, he just missed extra bases. It actually hit off the chalk in front of the third base bag, but it kicked foul. Two balls, two strikes. Pitch swung on. Fouled away. Fouled away. Trying to open up the scoring here, folks. Final home game of the season. Alex Jackson with a two two count. Bases loaded. Pitch swing and a miss. Rasmusen went with the cheese. 97 middle of the plate, upper half of the zone and Alex could not touch it. There’s your first out. And now Matteo, can he help us? First pitch is a strike. The Rays have activity in their bullpen very early again today. All three games, their starters are not going deep at all. What is the story there? I guess this is just all all by design. They have no interest in letting their pitchers go a full workload. Matteo fouls a 1-1 pitch away off to the right. One ball and two strikes. I mean, if we get backto back strikeouts after loading up the bases, I am going to flip. Put the ball in play, please. One, two. Matteo lays off a sweeper. Two balls, two strikes. Dylan Beavers is due up next. The 2-2 fouled back. Rasmuson has got to be feeling pretty burnt out here. Coming up on 50 pitches. 2-2 inside full count. Nowhere to put Matteo. Crowd making noise here. Small crowd, but they’re vocal right now. Full count. Bases loaded. Pitch coming up. Swinging a miss. Folks, I’m going to have to ask you a favor. Please show me your beavers. Now more than ever, we need your beavers in the chat, folks, to try to salvage something out of this bases loaded, nobody out opportunity. It is moments away from being squandered unless Beavers can come through. First pitch is strike one. Lowing in on the 01 pitch count even up. Bases loaded, two down, no score. Beavers trying to pick up Jackson and Matteo who struck out. Grounded foul. Two strikes on Beavers. Come on, Beavers. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Let’s go. Chuck that wood, Beavers. Chuck that wood. One, two, pitch is way high. Two balls, two strikes. Come on. High priest of the Church of Tea making a cameo appearance. Good to see a high priest. The two two pitch laid off. Ball three. Full count. Two down. Base is loaded. Everybody’s going to be off on this pitch. Big pitch coming here. Number 55 from Rasmusen. The pitch swung on. Lined right to first. Caught by Seymour and the inning is over. The Orioles leave them loaded. They had them loaded with nobody out and they leave them loaded and they don’t score. And I’m sorry folks, but I saw that playing out. I just I just knew. I’m like, “All right, bases loaded. Jackson and Matteo coming up. Oh boy. Are we going to be able to get something here?” Well, there you go. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing from nothing. Get nothing. You got to have something. Nothing from nothing. Leave nothing. You got to have something if you want to be with me. Hey folks, the Yankees as of right now do not have an announced starting pitcher for tomorrow night’s series opener in the Bronx. We don’t know who they’re going to put out there, but for us, it’s going to be Trevor Rogers final start of the season. So, don’t miss it, okay? Trevor Rogers is doing something that has only been outdone in terms of erra with this amount of pitching in a season. Only 1968 Bob Gibson has done better. Uh so let’s cheer on Rogers in his final start and have another Great outing for him. Uh first pitch here in the third inning to Bob Seymour is a strike. Uh considering that he was named president of the team, Billy just a couple of weeks ago, I would assume that yes, Michaelas as president will return next year, the year after that. uh the year after that and uh maybe the year after that. Seymour with a 1-1 pitch fouls it away. One ball, two strikes. He’s hitting a buck 86. One, two from Povich. Hit on the ground of first. That is through the hole on the right side. A base hit. Really? A leadoff base hit to the number nine hitting Bob Seymour? Come on. I can’t believe we squandered bases, loaded nobody out. final home game of the series of the of the season. I mean I mean come on man. Ah Chilo. It’s comments like that that’s like come on. What do you screw the rays? No I don’t need the raise to show me what clutch hitting is. Okay. I don’t need I don’t need it. Uh Schultton’s right-hander is loosening in the raised pin. They had another guy up in the last inning. I don’t know what they’re doing today. Maybe the some guys are just getting in some side sessions in the bullpin. I don’t know. Yandi Diaz is up. He hits a ball up the middle. That’s a base hit. And Povich has got to work around more traffic again. First and second with one out for the Rays. Not fit to clean the bathrooms. I mean, Billy, I’m not a fan of him as a manager, but my god, it’s not like he’s spreading a disease. He was hired. I mean, Elias hired him. Be mad at Elias, but Tony not good enough to clean the bathrooms. I mean, come on, man. I don’t think he’s, you know, cut out for the gig here. I don’t I don’t need to let you He’ll clog all the toilets what with his verbal uh Junior Camero. Let’s get a double play ball. Curve ball for ball one from Povich. It had the plate but a little bit low. So dangerous moment in the ball game. Camero with 44 home runs. He’s got two men on base. Base and a lefty. And now has a 20 count as that curve ball missed. This is a troublesome spot. We had Tampa in a troublesome spot in the previous half inning and couldn’t do anything. That misses inside. It’s 3 and 0, folks. Kade Povich is in trouble here. Three balls and no strikes. That is Wow. I’m shocked that Camro took a cut on that three- 0 pitch. He really thought he was going to get a cookie. and uh get himself a home run swing. Instead, he fouls off a pitch that would have probably been ball four. The count is three and one. We need a ground ball pitch. That is a ground ball, but it’s foul. Three and two the count. Povich just hit his 40 pitch count with that last one. Payoff pitch popped up and out of play. Well, actually hits off the screen behind the plate, so it’s on the field, but fouled away. Full count still on Camro. First three pitches of this sequence were balls off the plate. Next three have been fouled away. Here’s pitch number seven. That’s a line drive base hit in the left. They’re going to fire home and they’re going to hold Seymour at third base. All right, we are lucky that uh Bob Seymour is the lead runner here. Uh he does not have the wheels even with two down to get around and score on this base hit. I’m sorry. There’s only one out. There’s only one out. That was 111 miles an hour off the bat of Cammonero. Boy, Nick, tell me how you really feel. Christopher Morell line drive. That is a fair ball and that is going to score a pair of runs. Two-run score. Camero makes it to third. Morell is up to second base with an RBI double. The Rays lead it two to nothing. Still only one out in the inning. And how much does coming up with nothing in the previous inning hurt? Now, Nick, do you normally begin and end sentences with the exact same phrase? What a joke. Haha, what a joke. Palasio sets a ball to center. Camping under it is Cowser. He’s going to throw toward home plate, but he’s not going to have a play. The runner will tag and score standing. And the Rays now lead it three to nothing on the sacrifice fly from Palasios. Cammonero coming in to score. Three nothing Rays. Boy, Nick, you seem like a charming fella. There’s a called strike to Forz. His first time up. Curve ball just missed the outside edge. One ball, one strike. Am I seeing some light rainfall here at the ballpark? This pitch has popped up right field. Jeremiah, couple of steps over makes the catch to win the inning. But Povich was knocked around here in the third inning. He gives up three runs and has given up six hits so far in the ball game. The Rays have broken it open here with a three-run third inning. Bottom of the third coming up. Tampa three, Orioles nothing. Hey Nick, look buddy, let me give you a little bit of advice. If you want to hang out and get to know this channel that you’re brand new to and chatting, if you’re just going to just absolutely spam the chat with this guy’s trash, this guy sucks. And that’s all you’re going to do. You’re going to get removed from the chat. Okay. Okay. And you’re here for betting purposes. Is that what I’m led to believe? Just stating facts. Why? Well, every fact has this tinge of hate and negativity and just I don’t know. We’re Charm City Chat, Nick. You just got here. You want to maybe kind of feel the room out for a minute or do you just got a lot of verbal diarrhea you need to get out? Are Are you backed up? You need a little help getting it all out? You all right there, buddy? You okay, man? You all right, dude? Yeah. All right. Well, at least we’re almost talking about baseball for a second. Interesting stuff. Yep. The opposing team scored in a frame of baseball. The world is ending. Uh Jordan Westber is up. First pitch is ball one. Next pitch is popped up to right and that ball will be caught out there. One away. So yeah, the Rays had guys up in the pin that each of the previous two innings, but Rasmusson is still in the ball game. I think those bullpin guys were just getting some work in. Well, never mind. Rasmmanson is finished. They brought him out to face one batter. It’s very strange. Rasmusen’s day is over after two and a third innings. They leave him in the ball game to get one out with Gunner Henderson due up next. They’re taking him out of the game with this three nothing lead. I don’t know what the point of it all is, but uh it’s a pitching change nonetheless, and we’ve got a break in the action. All right. Right. Oh boy. Well, the good news is the season’s almost over. Uh, I’ll be back. Don’t go anywhere. Unless you’re extremely annoying, then please go somewhere. He met a strange friend in the Chesapeake Bay when the The new pitcher is a right-hander named Jesse Schultton’s. He’s facing Gunnar Henderson in the first pitch is outside for ball one. We’re in the bottom of the third inning. Drew Rasmusson with a short outing, just two and a third innings. He didn’t give up a run. His pitch count had already hit the 60s, but you would have thought uh unless the Rays are just trying to manage his workload that he would be good to go there for a little while longer. Uh okay, we’ll do guys. We’ll do. Just a moment. Uh the one to Gunner is a called strike and that’s a bad call. That’s the kind of call we can’t wait for ABS next season to get that call overturned. One and two on Gunnar. Swing and a miss. Man, he chased a bad pitch and strikes out. Two away. Holy cow, that’s a lot of activity in here. That is a lot of activity. Let’s see if I can catch up here. Ryan Mount Castle at the plate. Base is empty. Two down. First pitch is a called strike. Uh one to count on Mount Castle. Uh here are my thoughts. I’m not even going to try to speak in code uh to my mods out there. Okay. Uh, I’m less worried about folks in chat that talk about random non- baseball related things as long as it’s, you know, not an terrible bad taste or what have you. Uh, it’s much less concerning to me than those that are just overly obnoxious in the chat, if you know what I mean. So, up to you guys. Yeah. You know, I I’m not going to mind however you want to handle uh anything going on. Okay. I hope that’s a decent answer. But yeah, I I Let’s take a look. Let me take a look right now. Uh, Earth toBW. Earth to BW. Yes, Hutchkins. May I help you? Ryan Mount Castle on a 2-2 pitch fouls it away. We’ll do it again. Okay. Nice to see you. Two and two the count. Two down, nobody on. That is fouled off to the right. We’ll do it again. A little five-year-old boy just got that baseball. Look at that young Gunner Henderson. of the future there. There’s a ball hit to right. That ball is going to get onto the flag court. Ryan Mount Castle, a line drive opposite field shot that just somehow snuck over on top of the flag court by by birdie. Home run number seven on the season for Mounty and the Orioles are finally on the board. Oh, if only we could have gotten a swing like that with some dudes on base. It is now Tampa 3, Baltimore one. We’re on the board. It’s magic, you know. I mean, Mount Castle was as surprised as anybody that that ball got out of there. Jeremiah Jackson. Oh, that one’s crushed, but he’s out in front of it. Foul ball off to the left. One ball and one strike on Jeremiah. Swinging a foul straight back. One and two on Jackson. He’s got a double already in the ball game. One, two. He checks his swing. They don’t appeal. Works for me. Two balls, two strikes on the bullfrog. Two down, nobody on. A run in on a home run from Mount Castle. Swinging a miss and Jeremiah strikes out. The inning is over. The Orioles get on the board. A home run from Mounty. Onto the flag court. It was by no means a majestic looking home run. That was a line drive. And if the wall was any taller out there, it probably doesn’t get out of here. But it just cleared that scoreboard out there. And right. All right, we head now to the fourth inning. Tampa ahead 3 to one. What? Hutchkins. I I got to point out that just about every comment you’re leaving, and you’re leaving about I don’t know, seven or eight per minute, all seem absolutely absurd, completely lacking context. I I don’t even understand what you’re talking about. I can’t even interact with it. Jordan is a Michael Jordan’s cousin who follows the BW because he cannot play for Chicago Bears. Do you want to just attempt to explain that one? Never mind the previous 45 comments that have me scratching my head. Just this one. This latest one. Let’s try and dissect this. What does this mean? Could you help me out? Maybe it’s just flying over my head. Started for this one before you could roll out of bed, but again, I’m a gangster. Okay, so we’ve immediately reverted back to more nonsensical completely. What are you talking about, sir? Hutchkins, you’ve been around a while. Something going on with you today, buddy. Have we taken uh certain things out of order today? Maybe. I’m not sure. Uh we’re in the top of the fourth inning. Carson Williams will lead it off. First pitch is ball one and make it 2 and 0 as Povich misses outside with a cut fast ball. We are in the top of the fourth. Oh, apparently I’ll never just get a straight answer from a straight direct question to a specific person in my chat. Funny how that works. 2-1 pitch. curveball swung on and missed or maybe foul tipped. I’m not sure. It’s strike two. Either way, confused. Yeah, buddy. I was wondering about the same thing, buddy. Hutchkins, once again, nobody understands what the hell you’re saying. could you perhaps attempt one normal statement just to let us know. Uh you’re not making a whole lot of friends around here today, dude. And uh I’d hate to see this happened to you. That’s a strike out for Williams. He’s done. Well, you all come back now. You here? I mean, buddy, you’ve been hanging out here before. I don’t know why you’re getting all weird on me today, but you’re kind of uh teetering on the brink of getting timed out, dude. Uh Pereira with a swing and a miss on a curveball that’s 0 and one. One out, nobody on. Top of the fourth. Here’s a grounder toward Gunner. He will throw off balance and get it to first in time. Two away. Oh, it’s National Gibberish Day. I get it. just just observing National Gibberish Day. Well, if that’s true, then uh you’re doing a bangup job. You’re like the Santa Claus of National Gibberish Day. Uh Bob Seymour takes a pitch outside for ball one. Seymour singled and scored in that three-run third inning. Here’s a foul ball. It’s one and one. Tony, I’m with you. We need to have a nice comeback win today to give us a reason to feel some confidence going into the Bronx this weekend. There is a swing there by Seymour. A half swing, but he went around. It’s one and two pitch in the dirt. And the next pitch from Povich will be number 60 on the afternoon. If he gets this batter out on this pitch, that’s 15 per inning, which is right on the normal amount of pitches. Looks like the Hot Dogs are getting ready for the race. And on pitch 60, it’s a called strike three at the top of the zone. And here come the hot dogs, folks. Yeah, everybody. Hey, we’re in last place. Hey, we got a crowd of 7,000 people. Who wants to see a bunch of hot dogs run around? Well, y’all come back now. You hear? All right, come on. Fun fact, if you like to see, you know, some fun little gimmicky in between inning stunts like a hot dog race, you can get that at a minor league game and uh probably save yourself about 80% off ticket costs, concessions, parking, and everything else. Save yourself a ton of money because if your priority is to see a hot dog race versus a winning product on the field, might I suggest minor league baseball. Just throwing that out there. I love minor league baseball, don’t get me wrong, but there’s just something silly about watching a last place team do a hot dog race in the final home game of the season. I I don’t know. I’m not having fun. But I’m sure there’s some 5-year-olds out there that are having fun, but they are blissfully unaware of the disappointing season that this has been. And a hot dog race ain’t about to make up for it. Not for me, anyway. Oh, look at me getting cranky. Hey folks, I’ll be right back. Wow, they are putting all the emphasis in the world on this hot dog race. They just treated today’s hot dog race like it was the Orioles clinching the division back in 2023. What? What are we doing? There is a crying child in the arms of a dad wearing a shirt that says Relish. I guess Relish lost. Relish got boxed out. That’s the problem. Relish absolutely boxed out by ketchup and mustard. Oh, look at these older ladies. They’re dancing around. I love the Baltimore crowd, man. Those are my people. Everybody is dressed uh in just the most tacky outfits you’ve ever seen. Everybody’s got a beer gut. Old ladies are dancing around. I love it. This is my kind of crowd. There’s a shot of an old man looking like he’s secondguessing a lot of life decisions. There is a defensive change for the Rays here to begin the bottom of the fourth at shortstop. Tristan Gray looks like he’s taken over for Carson Williams for some reason. Slater sounding like anonymous in the chat. Distractions are a pillar for subtifuge. The deep state. Uh couple of defensive changes. Okay, so Palasio stays in the game, but he moves out to right field. The guy coming out of the ball game is Everson Pereira. Pereira was in center field. Manga moves from right to center. Palasio moves from second to right and Tristan Gray is now at second base. He’s the new player in the game. Cowser is up there with a count of 0 and one. He walked his first time up and a called strike on the inside edge makes it 0 and2 on the milkman. It Janet I would tell you the look on the It does look like a John Waters movie. Like if John Waters was had they brought back Major League but directed by John Waters. You know how awesome that would be? Cowser lifts one to left. It will hang up there long enough for uh who’s in left now? Christopher Morell to make the catch. One out in the bottom of the fourth. Mayo do up now. He walked to load up the bases back in the second inning with nobody out and that’s when the rally stalled out. First pitch is off the plate for ball one to Mayo. Yeah, just like a John Waters version of Major League. I mean, Major League already has, you know, like this cast of misfit characters. Uh, and, you know, John Waters has always been about casting misfit characters. It could be a very happy marriage. Uh, 200 pitch hit in the air to shallow center field. Could drop in. That ball will be caught by Tristan Gray. Just brought into the ball game at the right time for Tampa. He made a very tough catch running on a dead sprint away from the infield over the shoulder catch out there in center field. Impressive play there by Tristan Gray. Two down, nobody on for Alex Jackson. And that first pitch is a strike. Tough pitch there by Schulton’s. The 01 is outside. Let me take a look. 2026 Orioles schedule. That is a check swing. He didn’t go two and one on Alex Jackson. So, we do play in March. We do play in March. We open up the season. Swing and a miss by Jackson. The count is two balls and two strikes. Uh we begin we begin the season against the Twins at home. Three against Minnesota and three against Texas. And uh yeah, so we’re playing in the final week of March at home. That’s the next time we’ll be here. Two- two pitch low and away for ball three. Full count. A pretty kind schedule to open up 2026. Swinging a miss. Jackson strikes out and the inning is over. Nobody on, nobody left. We go to the fifth inning. The Rays lead at 3 to one. So here is the opening four series, two at home and then two on the road. We open up with the Twins and the Rangers at home. Uh neither of those teams are playoffbound this season. And then about as kind of an opening road trip as you can ask for. Three at Pittsburgh and then three at the White Socks. So folks, we know how bad this 2025 season started. It’s only going to take, in my humble view, a dozen games to get a pretty good read on what kind of a season 2026 is going to be. We got to beat teams like the Twins. Uh we got to take two out of three against Pittsburgh. At least two out of three against the White Socks. got to do that. If we open up struggling against teams like that, that is not going to be a good thing. No, it won’t. All right. Uh, it’s been a little while and there is another game now going on. Pittsburgh and the Reds, the rain delay is over. They’re in the bottom of the second, no score. In about 10 minutes, the Twins and Rangers will be facing off against each other. Everything else coming up later. Hey folks, it’s the Oral Park at Camden Yards ballpark upgrades. Learn more at orios.com/oral parkupgrades. I want to go here. Talk to me about the upgrades. Yeah, let’s talk about upgrades. Uh, does any of this have to do with a win loss record? Because to me, that is the upgrade I’m looking for. An upgrade in wins. Let’s see. I’m looking at it right now on the website that they promoted. Uh Jake Mangum is at the plate. 01 count is inside from Povich. One ball, one strike. Mangum one for two. That first uh batter of the game. He had a single. So there will be a newly renovated club level. The club level is being re-imagined for the 2026 season, folks. Next season, the space will feature two all new bars, elevated decor, folks. The decor in the club level is going to be elevated. That’s uh that’s exciting because here’s a swinging bunt. Povich will field, throw to first, but it’ll be late. Jake Mangum will reach on a swinging bunt. Nothing you can do about that. Another leadoff man on for Tampa. Uh elevated decor, new furniture, new furniture in the club level, folks. And lighting. New lighting. Oh my god, folks. You got to see this photo I’m looking at. You got to see this photo. This is hilarious. We’re going to take it over here for a minute. Look at this. Look at what I’m looking at. Look at these people. So, this is the exciting club level. We’re all supposed to just This guy is just staring at a doorway. He’s absolutely just he’s like Cameron from Ferris Buer staring at that painting just like it’s looking into his soul. Look at these guys like looking at this. Wow. That’s first of all, you’re way too close to look at whatever this is. It’s from floor to ceiling and you’re right up on it. Who are these people? And look. Yeah. Look at that art pose. Yes, this guy looks like he’s running to the bathroom. Just nonsense. This is what we’re waiting for next year. People standing around looking lost. They look like NPCs in a video game. Yeah. The Yeah, the Yeah, the two one with his hand on his chin, another guy. Yeah. All right. Where am I? Hold on. Yeah. You got one guy like and another guy like Yes. Yes. Just ridiculous, right? Am I wrong? Uh, a strike out for Povich went away. Sorry. I mean, come on, Orioles. Would you would you please stop trying to trick real fans into thinking this means anything to us? It doesn’t mean anything. Yeah, I’m going to the ballpark so I can stand in a hallway and look at a door. Unbelievable. Can you imagine this kind of crap at Memorial Stadium? Come to Memorial Stadium. We all piss in one big giant metal bin. We could have a nice photo of that. One guy just taking a leak looking like this. Another guy. H Yeah, improved lighting. Improved lighting. Who gives a [ __ ] Uh, Junior Camero has a 200 count as a runner at first base with one out. Three to one Tampa. Top of the fifth. We’re learning more about all of our upgrades for next season. Tapper foul. Two balls and one strike. All right, I’m going back in. Give me another photo to laugh at. Oh, here we go. Oh, this doesn’t look this doesn’t look obnoxious, does it, folks? This doesn’t look obnoxious. Again, what are people looking at? What are you looking at? Just the corner of the counter. Are is that captivating to you, honey? Have you ever seen the corner of a counter like this? This is really something. What is she cheering at? She’s staring at a TV screen reacting to a game that’s over here. Hello. Game outside. Why are you here? Base hit into left field by Camero on a 3-1 pitch. Puts runners at first and second for the Rays with one out. This is so stupid. Yay. This lonely girl looking for a refill. Look at this. Yeah, look at look at this. Oh my god. Look at the table. Look at the angle. Look at the plate. They just clip arted a soda can and a cheeseburger plate and stuck it on a table that’s not even like level. Look at this [ __ ] Look at the soda can on top of the This soda should just be sliding off the table. So, how many millions of dollars spent in this thing only to give us an image that you spent eight cents putting together? Come on, Orioles. Look at this photoshoppp garbage. Unbelievable. That’s just the second image I’m looking at. There’s more. We got an 01 count on Christopher Morell with one out. Runners at first and second. Povich curveball fouled at the plate. Morell goes down to the ground as he took a foul ball probably somewhere off his lower leg. He’s hobbling. He is hobbling. He’s walking around like Daniel Plain View. I drink your milkshake. I drink it up. I take the blood of the land of Bender tract. You can sit down now. I drink your milkshake. Uh here’s a ball foul down the third baseline. It’s still 0 and two on Morell. I’m an oil man. This is my partner HW 0 and2 on Morell. That is inside. Jackson pounces on the uh pitch that got away a little bit. Nobody’s advancing. Runners still at first and second. One out for the Rays. All right. What else we got in here? Oh, we got another hallway shot, folks. Another This is their montage of the renovated club level and the upgrades going on, folks. Here’s the next shot. You ready? You ready for this? Bam. Oh, yeah. I mean, folks, I mean, I can’t wait to walk down this hallway. Improved lighting. Here’s a ground ball to third. Westber goes to second for one. Matteo to first. Two. A double play. Yeah. Completely. Sha. Yeah. Could you This looks like a Neil Breen movie. Nobody is really where they are. Everybody is just h God. This is such a cheap cheap cheap. All right. We got any more images here? Okay. We saw that one. We got that one. And then Oh, there then there’s this one. What is with all this open unused space? What a waste. Why do you need one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight? Why do you need eight TVs right here with a ninth one right there? I’m sorry. And a 10th one there. And an 11th one there. 11 TVs. More TVs than people. Look at this guy. He’s like, “Please don’t take my photo. I Nobody’s supposed to know I’m I’m here.” Just just nonsense. All right. What else we got? Ballpark Video Renovations. Okay. So, there is the look at what the new scoreboard’s going to be like. Basically, it’s a bigger screen and they’re taking off all the things around it. We still have that clock though, right? We did not mess with the clock, right? I can’t tell. Is our clock still there? They’re not taking that clock down, right? You already blocked the Bromo Seltzer Tower. Are you now taking the clock down above the scoreboard? Bottom of the fifth. Jorge Matteo takes high for ball one. I don’t know. And the weather. Okay, I do see the weather vein birds. Okay. Is that the clock? It just looks different to me. Looks like the Mariners logo. All right. Just making sure. Don’t get rid of the clock. What is going on in the Orioles booth today? They are just they’re treating us like it’s the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in an office. Uh this ball’s popped up down the third baseline and in foul ground out of reach of Bob Seymour. That’s strike two on Matteo. He is leading off the bottom of the fifth. The Orioles trail at three to one. All right. So there’s one side of it. I mean again like Okay. So bigger and that’s the backside. Ground ball up the middle. Shorts stop will make the play. That is uh Carson Williams. Well, wait a minute. I thought that other guy just came in or did he come in to play second? I’m confused. Tristan Gray’s at second base. Okay, Williams at shortstop. Just made that out for the first out here in the bottom of the fifth. Dylan Beaver’s coming up. Nice, Beaver. Thank you. Sorry folks. How you doing? Meet Rob. Okay. One and0 on Beavers. One out, nobody on in the bottom of the fifth. That’s a line drive foul. One ball, one strike. Oh boy. What else we got with these upgrades? Ah, premium club, folks. Premium. Premium. It sounds like the upgrades are mostly catered toward people with a lot of money, rich, almost like it’s a a cast system of fans. Uh the one two to Beavers, he lays off a pitch low, two balls, two strikes. Now, what is this? Funny. You should say that, David. 22 pitch outside. All right, Beavers. Got a full count here. Let’s go. Payoff pitch all four Dylan Beavers. All he does is get on base. I’m walking here. I’m walking here. It’s all he does. All right. I guess I’m done looking. These are all the upgrades then. That’s it. That’s the upgrades. Okay. Better better lighting in the hallway of the club section. That’s your upgrade. Westberg swinging a miss. Westber’s 0 for two today. Come on, buddy. We need some offense right now. Well, West is that way. Right now. No more fooling around. Uhoh. Where am I? Where the hell am I? This ball is lifted into right field. That’s going to be an easy out. Second out of the inning, caught out there and right. I can’t remember who’s playing where. They’ve made so many changes. Uh it is Palasios in right field making that catch. Two down. Gunner Henderson coming up. He is the tying run coming up to the plate. He’s due for a home run. Wouldn’t you say, folks? His name’s Gunnar and he’s dating my mom. Is it fair to say Gunner Henderson’s due for a home run? Oh, I’m all about Beavers Phantom. That’s why I want him hitting lead off cuz he does get on base. I like it a lot. 0 and one on Gunner. By looking at his uniform, you’d think uh he’s had a busy day. That pitch is up and away. One ball, one strike. He’s one for two. Uh infield single back in the first. Struck out last time up one pitch. That’s a line drive. base hit into right center field. We’ve got a two out rally cooking. Beavers goes first to third. Come on, folks. Can we get a two out rally continued? We need Ryan Mount Castle to come through right now. We need, by the way, our friend that I was asking about just saying all kinds of weird just nonrelated things. He just stopped talking. It It would appear. Yeah. The last thing he says was confused. Yeah, buddy. I was wondering about the same thing, buddy. What? Did I piss you off? I mean, he could have just given me a, you know, an honest response. Like, what’s with all the random completely nonrelated comments you’re making? Base it into right field for Mount Castle. The Orioles will score their second run of the day. A two out rally that hasn’t ended yet. It’s the Rays three, the Orioles two. And that’s the wrong button. All right. Splish splash. I was taking a bath. All right, we will not go gently into that. Good night. Annie up and kick in like men. Like men. Baltimore, you are seeing history being made today. That’s right. Our last home game. Damn it. And we will not go quietly. More Baltimore ladies shaking that ass. I love it in the crowd. Alex Jackson. Oh, Nick is trying to take credit for this by talking [ __ ] earlier. Okay, Nick. Yeah, thanks, Nick. Thanks for helping delusional much. Jeremiah Jackson 01 pitch is off the plate. One ball and one strike. Oh. Oh yeah. He got to the bullpen. That’s amazing. Especially in this day and age where every game gets to the bullpen eventually. Uh this one’s fouled away. The count is a ball and two strikes. Yeah, we got to their bullpen. There you go. Uh, it’s not because their starter was ineffective. They just took him out. They had their own reasons. Check swing and Jackson went around. Homeplayed umpire rings him up and that’ll end the inning. The Orioles leave two men on base, but they do score a run. They have scored two runs now after being down three to nothing at the end of five. It’s a one-run ball game. Tampa three, Baltimore two. Lol. What? What do you What are you talking more betting stuff, dude? Good grief. Nobody cares, dude. Nobody cares about the betting. And again, if you would take the opportunity to maybe get acclimated with a channel like this, this channel’s been around for all season, Nick. Yeah, you know what you’re talking about. Sure you do. All right. Uh, I’m going to step away for a minute. Think I need to get up and move around. Be back. I’m not trusting you. He met a strange friend in the Chesapeake Bay when the Oh, wow. Here he comes. Let me show you what I mean. Now, by the first thing you do is get right up in their face. You point the finger. Then, if you can’t get close enough, you turn the hand around and kick some dirt. And then, if he’s missed a sprite, you get over here and you put dirt all over the thing. You throw the half down. You pick it up. You throw it. And then you’re so bad you throw them out the game. You’re out of here. Oh no. No. Bring that message back. Oh, Nick, you just absolutely outed yourself, dude. Buddy, I don’t give a [ __ ] about American politics. That’s why I left because guys like you just can’t stop focusing on that [ __ ] Liberal channel. I’m out. Haha. [ __ ] loser ass leftist. Peace. Yeah, peace. I’m sure that’s genuine. That’s what you want, right, Nick? Peace. You’re the worst, dude. You’re so obnoxious. And you were from the jump. I tried to give you some sort of way to like hang around and get acclimated, but you had one day on the channel and now you’re forever gone. That’s your choice, dude. If you want to be a douchebag everywhere you go every day only to be turned away and now you’re off looking for somewhere else to be a nuisance. I mean, what kind of life are you living, dude? What are you doing? But yeah, it’s all about politics, right, Nick? Because you’re a dick, I’m a leftist. That makes sense. Hey, Nick. Safe travels. God, what a [ __ ] Oh, I’m sorry. Do leftists use harsh words like [ __ ] Because, you know, I wouldn’t want to be too woke and go with something like you’re a meanie. God, what is going on over there? I don’t know. But you guys have got to figure it out. I’m going to hang out over here safely 12 time zones away from all that nonsense. Uh we’re in the top of the sixth inning and once again the Rays have a leadoff man on. They’ve been doing it all day. Richie Palasios just reached on a base hit to center field. First pitch swinging. Nick Forez pops it up along the first baseline. Foul ground. And Jorge Mateo is going to make the catch for the first out. Povich is on 87 pitches. I would assume the Orioles have some bullpin activity going on, but a chance for Povich to finish six innings here. Two more outs to get. And if he gets it without giving up any more runs, it’ll go down as a quality start. Carson Williams takes outside for ball one. Jeremo Heraldo is loosening in the Orio bullpen. I just knew what that dude was all about. I mean, talk about a snowflake. That boy got triggered, didn’t he? Holy cow. 2 and 0 on Williams. That pitch is outside. Pitch number 90 on the day from Povich. Off the plate, it’s 3 and 0. We need somebody ready to come into the ball game here. 3 0 pitch fouled off. The Rays have been swinging on counts like 300 a lot today. 2030 and one the count. Yeah, I uh removed Nick uh permanently full count because you know I’m uh crazy liberal leftist and that’s what us crazy liberal leftists do. We’re allergic to [ __ ] 3-2 pitch is outside for ball four. That is a walk. And I think it’s time for Povich to come out of the ball game. Drew French is coming out. That normally means one more batter. I guess we’re not ready to bring somebody in. We should have been, but Povich is going to face one more batter as Drew French is coming out to talk to him. Game screen’s frozen. Okay, thank you. I got uh distracted uh admiring all the upgrades on the uh oral club level. They’re talking about it again on Massen enough. They are really trying to sell those premium club seats. Uh, wait. Now what? Well, the scoreboard is kind of back. That guy would have been the same guy to tell me that to, you know, you know, if you don’t like it, get out of here. And then I leave. And then they’re telling me I’m still like I’m not I’m I’m out. I’m out. I’ve washed my hands of whatever the hell’s going on over there. Tristan Gray, first pitch is a strike from Povich. So, it’s a lefty lefty matchup. I suppose this is going to be Povich’s final batter either way. That is outside. One ball and one strike. I never said I was a leftist. He did. And even if I were, what kind of question is that? That’s like asking why are you, I don’t know, Catholic? Why are you uh left-handed? I don’t know. Why not? This is what I am in Thailand. Not putting up with American politics anymore. and have now for 10 years and I’m so much better off for it. One ball, two strikes, two men on, one man out for the Rays. The pitch to Gray is low and away. It’s two and two. Uh, folks, need I remind you that talking about politics here probably not going to be helpful. Why did he call you a leftist? Your guess is as good as mine. I guess I got under his skin. And if you get under somebody’s skin like that, that’s their go-to defense mechanism. I guess that’s my best guess. Payoff pitch line drive down the right field line. It’s a fair ball that’s going to drive in a run. Could drive in two. They’re waving home. The trail runner. Relay throw is there in time and we nail Carson Williams at the plate. The Rays add on with their fourth run of the game, but we do nail that extra runner trying to score with a nice relay out from right field. It went from Jeremiah to Matteo to an accurate throw to home plate. Alex Jackson applying the tag. It’s four to two Rays, two down with a runner at third. Thank you, Turtle Dove. And I wish that that sentiment was shared by everybody else back home. No matter what you believe, uh we need to we need to try to somehow figure out how to get along, people. Okay, we need to figure that out. Or you need to figure it out. I don’t think I have enough time left. And what time I got left, I don’t want to spend it trying to figure it out because for me it’s too much for one man. I tried. I spent my 20s and my 30s trying. Tried my best. Now I want to relax and I am very happy about that choice. Uh, be right back, folks. can tankerous. That’s why I still have my connection back to my country of America. Look, I It’s where I was born. It’s what I know. I there’s so much about America that is just so amazing and awesome, right? Like, and I just wish we could figure out a way to know what we have and appreciate it. Uh there’s a lot of things that need to be fixed. I’m not going to go into all that stuff because everybody gets uh crazy. Uh but uh yeah, baseball um it’s the one thing I don’t get to have living over here and it’s the one thing I love the most. So I’m trying to have my cake and eat it too. Uh, I’m living here, but baseball is still uh obviously uh very important to me. And uh you know, maybe not the greatest uh comparison or analogy, but think about back to when Ripken broke the streak and uh how that was an event that kind of brought everybody together, right? I mean, there was a lot of tension and uh frustration felt by fans. This is a ball down the right field line by Bob Seymour and another run is going to come in to score. It is five to2 Rays. Yerealdo comes into the ball game and immediately gives up an RBI single. The Rays now lead at 5-2 here in the top of the sixth. So yeah, I’ll just shut up. But uh I love baseball. What do you want me to tell you? Jake Mangum at the plate. He’s two for three. That’s a base hit in a right. My goodness. Heraldo has come in and uh things are not going well for him. Seymour goes first to third. There are two down. The Rays have scored twice in the inning. They have erased the two runs the Orioles were able to score since Tampa took that early three nothing lead. Now five to2. That’s their 12th hit of the day and we’re only two out in the sixth. I mean we’ve been out hit 12 to five. Feel like we should feel fortunate. It’s only a three-run game right now, but we need to get this third out now. There goes the runner. Throw down is late. Stolen base for Tampa. Jake Mangum steals second. Hello A’s fan. 01 pitch to Feduchia. So he’s up to pinch hit here. Hunter Feduchia, the catcher, pinch hitting in the DH spot for the right-handed Yandi Diaz. Tampa going with a lefty bat here against Haraldo. It’s 0 and2 on Feduchia. Fouled away. We’ll do it again. The O2 pitch. Swinging a miss. Herado strikes out Feduchia to end the inning, but the Rays score twice. The Orioles had gotten back to within a run, but uh it’s back to a three-run lead now for Tampa as we go to the bottom of the six. It’s 5 to2 Rays. Oovich will definitely be back next year. Turtle Dove, it’s just uh probably not as a member of the rotation. I think if the Orioles make the offseason moves that they need to make that Povich’s uh spot belongs in Norfolk as probably the number one pitcher that we would call on if any of our rotation arms were to go down. And folks, we know uh in this era of baseball, there’s no team that’s going to have all five starting pitchers go all season without injury. Uh so I don’t think so, David. I’d like to see Povich still have a chance to work things out and become a starter. Um I’m not counting it out. Now, Suarez is gonna have another surgery. You guys know Albert Suarez got knocked out for the rest of the season, right? I guess if Suarez is not fit for spring training, they might want to look at Povich as a long man kind of a guy. But again, he’s still young enough where I don’t know if I’d want to I would rather him just be in Triple A making starts like a regular rotation arm and then when the need presents itself, we call them up. We’re going to need depth, right? We’re going to need one or two guys that we can call up uh when there’s an injury. It’s going to happen. And I think Povich, that’s a good role for him. Uh he’s g he’s gonna make starts next season. He I just don’t think he should be in the rotation. Uh Colton Cowser looks at ball one. We’re in the bottom of the six, folks. Anybody in the mood for a rally here? It’s the last home game of the season. Damn it. It’s outside 2 and 0. Schultton’s is still out here pitching. Man, the Rays all three games have gone to a reliever that has pitched uh to a large pitch count. And this 200 pitch is a strike two and one on Cowser. The 2-1 hit in the air center field. Backing up is Mangum and he makes the catch. Cowser hit it to the wrong part of the ballpark as Mangum is just in front of the track in front of the 410 ft sign to make that catch. So that’s about a 380 385 foot out for out number one. Kobe Mayo looks at a front door sweeper for strike one. Next pitch is fouled away. Two strikes on Mayo. Yeah, mouse talk. I hear you, buddy. Got to be better at making contact, particularly in situations where contact is all you really need. There’s been so many situations this season where just putting the ball in play would likely have produced a positive result, but you get our players up there always looking to, you know, get that big big hit, that 110 mph off the bat perfectly barreled up hit. and you don’t always need that. It’s kind of an all or nothing approach. Uh Mayo strikes out here. Speaking of strikeouts, two down in the inning. I don’t think Manelino will be the manager next season. I think the entire Oriole fan base would groan if they announced that Manscolino would be the 2026 manager. They’re going to have to make an announcement pretty shortly after the end of this season. I would expect cuz uh if somebody is going to come in they uh they’re going to want to come in as quickly as they can and start to change the uh atmosphere and direction of this team. But the Orioles are probably right now looking at candidates. They’re probably going to set up interviews. Joe Gibbs swinging a miss by Jackson. It’s one and two. Yeah, just bring Joe Gibbs back to fix this. Come on, folks. Three Super Bowls with three different quarterbacks. Why can’t he get us a pennant? One and two on Alex Jackson. Bases empty, two down in the bottom of the sixth. Pitch laid off. One low and away. It’s two and two. Mouse talk. I agree again. Coaching staff way too inexperienced. It was a mistake to like have every new coach like be a firsttime coach at their respective uh positions. Full count on Jackson. Swinging a miss. Peter in under the hands. Tough pitch. Strikes out. Inning over. Seventh inning coming up. The Rays lead it 5-2. Yeah, that’s the thing, Phantom. Experienced managers with winning track records tend to be, you know, held on to by the teams that currently employ them because they’re experienced and they win. So, why let them go? Uh, it’s uh like trying to catch a leprechaun. Hopefully, we’re going to get somebody that’s going to work out. I don’t know. I don’t know. Just know how to manage in-game management and uh leadership. setting down some ground rules, letting this team know what the deal is, who’s boss. I don’t get that feeling from Tony. Tony feels like a substitute teacher come into class and you just knew you would just be able to get away with whatever. You didn’t have to try to do anything. He just sort of phoned it in, goofed off. Tony feels like a substitute teacher to me. And hey, I was a substitute teacher for a brief amount of time. I know what it’s like. The Mariners are what the Orioles should have been. The Mariners have not won a division title since 2001 when Ichiro was a rookie. I’m so happy for them and I am rooting for them to win the American League pennant. Cal Raleigh hitting his 60th home run. I watched it. Um, how can he not how can he not get behind the Mariners? I mean, you can give me a good reason, but for me, it’s an easy choice. I want to see them go all the way. Junior Camero will lead off top of the seventh. Cage Straoud is on the pitch now for Baltimore. First pitch is off the plate. One and0. Lined in the left. On the run making the catch is Beavers one down. A catcher that hit 60 home runs. It’s absolutely bonkers. Give him the MVP. I know Judge has had another great season, but I’m sure Judge will rack up another MVP or two along the way. This is a very special season that we may never see again in our lifetime. A catcher hitting 60 home runs. It’s just a great story. Christopher Morell with a count of 0 and one. swinging a miss. Now, of course, we all expect Sammy Bisayio to be the second catcher to get to 60 home runs in a season, right, folks? Right? Do you believe in me? Fouled away by morale. The count is still 0 and2. Raleigh is what’s wrong with the game. Okay. Oh, you can be negative. Just that’s your opinion. I don’t think Raleigh is wrong for the game. I mean, I mean, if you’re just saying that hitting has become this sort of all or nothing approach rather than making contact and fundamentally uh executing an offense, moving runners over, getting them in, scoring in a variety of ways rather than just relying on the home run ball. I understand all that, but my god, don’t take it out on Cal Raleigh for smashing 60 homers. And might I also add that, you know, uh no uh substances uh used in order to get to this achievement. It’s all legit. There’s a lot of goaudy home run numbers put up by players over the years back in the 80s, 90s. This was the real one. Uh yeah, I I’m very happy for Cal Raleigh. It’s just uh it’s amazing an amazing accomplishment and uh you know Mariners are again about to win their first division in 24 years. Uh something’s working right. They’ve got a really good pitching staff, starting rotation. Offense had always been their issue the past few years. We tried to look at them as trade partners, thinking, “Well, we got bats. You guys got arms.” Well, they got the bats working this year. Palasios strikes out. Cade Straoud works a scoreless seventh inning. Forgive me for not calling it very well. I am a little bit fatigued trying to uh trying to get some momentum back after uh coughing up those two runs. We have hit the seventh inning stretch, folks. So, this is the time. This is the time to throw away all of our past discretions and just focus on the fact that it’s the final home game. It’s the final seventh inning stretch at home. Let’s throw some cakes on the griddle, folks. Get those cakes up in the chat. Folks, thank God I’m a country boy. Thank god I’m a country boy. Thank god I’m a country boy. Thank god I’m a country boy. What I mean is hitting is all or nothing in today’s game. Yeah, that’s what I said. I said that must be what you’re talking about with no fundamentals. Yeah, you’re saying exactly what I thought you were implying, right? So, I read you right and he’s the best example. He’s the best example because he hit the 60 home runs. I would agree. I would disagree. I would point to a guy like Gunner Henderson first who approaches hitting that way, I feel. Right. And he’s produced seven 16 home runs. If if you’re an all or nothing player, but that all or nothing approach produces 60 home runs, that’s not the guy to point to as the example. The guy to point to as the example is a guy sitting on a low number of homers. Uh, and it affected everything. You know what I’m saying? Like I don’t I know Gunner may not be the best example. I’d have to look at a list of all the players around the league, but I mean, come on, man. 60 home runs, dude. Uh Jorge Mateo is coming to the plate. I mean, what about Anthony Santandere, right? Anthony Santandere is kind of an all or nothing guy. Yeah, but again, average versus slugging percentage and OPS at the end of the day, are you driving in runs? Um, Gunner’s definitely having a down year. All right. Well, then according to you mouse talk, Gunnar Henderson should have more MVP votes this season than Cal Rally. And you know for a fact that that’s absolutely absurd. That is absurd. Are you telling me Gunner’s having a better season because it’s 30 points higher in average than Steel’s bases? I wholeheartedly disagree. I wholeheartedly disagree. If you’re starting a team, well, I’m not starting a team. Who would I rather have had on my team this season? Can I cherrypick my own parameters? I would rather have had Raleigh on my team this season instead of the eight catchers we went through. We could have had one and he would have hit 60 homers, which is four times as many as our best home run hitter on the team right now. So yeah, I’ll take rally. Matteo strikes out on a 3-2 pitch to begin the bottom of the seventh. Schultton’s is still out here on the mound. He’s thrown 70 pitches. I guess this Rays bullpin is just full of a lot of long relievers. Here’s Dylan Beavers. walked his last time up and away for ball one. And you’re telling me he plays shortstop. What? Like catching isn’t a tough position. He hit 60 home runs and handled a pitching staff. That’s one of the better staffs in baseball. I’d say that’s an accomplishment. Here’s a fly ball to left by Beavers. Caught by Morell for the second out. Two down for Jordan Westber. Westber 0 for three. He’s flyed out to right his last two times up. We are running out of outs, folks. Two down in the seventh. Base is empty. And he looks at a pitch low for ball one, folks. We are seven likes away from a hundo. Almost there. Let’s get over the uh hump. What do you say? 10 pitch. Hit on the ground. Foul third base side. Oh yeah, there is a button for that, isn’t there? Well, West is that way. But we’re talking about this season. Mouse talk. I mean, okay. Uh, fouled away. Like, obviously, we talk about these two players last season. And Gunner was a runnerup MVP. Rally hit half as many homers. Advantage Gunner. I get it. I don’t understand why these two players need to be Why does one have to necessarily be better than the other? I don’t They’re both all-star players. I don’t Westber strikes out. The inning is over. We go to the eighth inning. The Rays lead at 5-2. I I can we just stop debating whatever this debate is? Kyle Riley’s having a great season. I don’t think it’s bad for baseball and I don’t think my opinion on that is going to change. So maybe we should just move on to another topic. I don’t know. Uh right. Hey, the Twins and Rangers game is underway. They’re in the fourth inning already. Twins have a one- nothing lead on Texas. Cincinnati, meanwhile, uh, trying to catch back up to the Mets for that final playoff spot, wild card spot in the National League. They have a lead on the Pirates. It is two nothing Reds going into the sixth inning, folks. Tomorrow night, we will be in the Bronx to hopefully spoil the final weekend of the regular season for the Yankees in some way. Uh the Yankees are playoffbound. That much is certain, but where they will be seated, whether or not they win the division, uh that’s kind of up to us. We have a say in that. And uh I want to beat them. So, please come on back for tomorrow night’s first game of this series against the Yankees. And uh you’re not going to want to miss it for no other reason than Trevor Rogers is going to be pitching. It is his final start of the season. It has been a an historic season of pitching for Rogers uh and an otherwise pretty uh gloomy disappointing season for the team. So, let’s come on back and give a standing O and watch Rogers go at it one more time against the Yanks. And the Yankees, by the way, will probably announce a starter here maybe before the day is over, but at the moment they do not have a starter announced for game one tomorrow night. Rico Garcia is on the pitch and he will get a swing and a miss from Nick Forez. The count is one and one. Rico Suave. Oh, I’m not upset, dude. I’m just knowing when a conversation is kind of reached its, you know, it hit a wall and I’m ready to talk about something else. I apologize if something in my voice gives an indication that I’m upset. I’m not upset. Uh Carson Williams is up. So, first batter reaches for the Rays again. How many leadoff men have reached base today? Unbelievable. Uh so Forez is on with a base hit to right field. And now Williams at the plate. First pitch is a strike. Carson Williams is 0 for two. That pitch from Rico Garcia is up and in. The count is one and one. Thank you, Miss Janet. Yes, 6:50 p.m. tomorrow night is when the stream starts. Orioles Yankees Trevor Rogers is on the mound. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. There really is not a whole lot of gray area when trying to determine whether or not I’ve been upset. There is uh it’s not too hard to tell. Williams with a feeble swing there at strike two. Runner at first, nobody out. Orioles cannot afford to give up any more runs here. They’re down three late. Here’s a foul ball. Still one and two. So, both the Reds and the Diamondbacks one game back of the Yankee the excuse me, the Mets with four games to play. The Reds, I guess, have the head-to-head tiebreaker. Here’s a base hit to left by Carson Williams. Man, the Rays have been spraying the ball around today all afternoon. That is their 13th hit of the day. I’m sorry. That is their 14th hit of the day. First and second, nobody out. Honestly, folks, this score could be a lot more lopsided than it is. Rays have had plenty of base runners. Two on, nobody out for Tristan Gray. He came into the ball game uh has had one at bat and got a hit in that at bat. One for one. Drove in a run. His only other at bat. Uh Phantom. We were talking about Povich maybe 15 20 minutes ago. Here’s a line drive base hit into right center field and the bases are loaded for Tampa with nobody out. This game is about to slip away. Rays are on the verge of blowing this thing wide open. Base is loaded, nobody out. Bob Seymour coming up to hit. So yeah, Phantom to try to make it quick. Uh, I think Povich is probably best served uh to just be in Norfolk as a regular starter. I don’t want to give up on him yet and try to convert him at this point of his career into a bullpin arm. It may wind up where that is where he is best served. But I also feel like the Orioles need some starting pitching depth. I don’t want him to be in the rotation, but we need one or two arms to be ready to come up when the inevitable injuries happen to that rotation. And for me, Povich seems like a good candidate for a role like that. Just start like a regular starter, continue that in AAA, work on some things, and you’ll inevitably get called up and make some starts. How many? We don’t know. One of our guys could go down for a season ending injury in May and Povich could wind up making 15 20 starts anyway. Uh but I think going into the season just uh Oh boy. Go foul. Please go foul. That ball is foul. That ball at home run dis that ball at home run distance for Bob Seymour. It would have been a grand slam, but it does go foul. He is two for three today. He was hitting under 200 before today’s game. And uh another number nine hitter giving us fits. How many times have we not been able to handle another team’s number nine hitter? Yeah, no worries, Phantom. I hope that uh answers your question. Fouled away. The count is still two and two because folks, am I wrong or am I right? We’re going to need some decent starters in Triple A. Somebody’s going to need to come up. Nobody gets through a whole season with five arms making 32 starts a piece. It just doesn’t happen. Uh that’s a swing and a miss. And that’s a big first out. A strike out of Seymour with the bases loaded. Oh, Seymour’s just been contained with his hat going a skew. All right, how about a double play ball to get the hell out of this jam? Mangum looks at a pitch low for ball one. Mangum with three hits today, hitting out of the leadoff spot. A single in the first, another in the fifth, and another in the sixth. There’s a strike top of the zone. The count one and one. Seymour Beavers. Ah, yes. They’re They’re gonna have to be teammates eventually. Uh swing and a miss. It’s a ball and two strikes. That’s a good one, Erica. Got Bush. We’ve got Bush. By the way, Seymour Beavers, not a good name for a gynecologist. It’s just it’s a little too on the nose, you know. One two pitch foul at the plate. We’ll do it again. Tony, what’s on your mind, buddy? One ball, two strikes, one out, bases loaded, pitch, swinging a miss. Garcia, it’s almost like he pitches better in these situations. Bases loaded, nobody out. Works himself into trouble. And now back-to- back strikeouts. and a chance to get out of this jam. All right, Hunter Feduchia looks at a called strike from Rico. If Garcia can work out of this jam he created, maybe the offense offense can get a little bit uh inspired. That pitch is up. It’s a one-on-one on Feduchia. Orioles love lady beavers with mendick. Oh my. I tell you what, that’s also true over in Bangkok. All right, crowd making noise. One strike away from getting out of this jam. Pitch line drive caught at second base by Matteo. My oh my. I just assumed that would find the outfield and score a pair. But Matteo catches the line drive and Rico Garcia. How about that for a magic act? He loads him up with nobody out and gets out of his own jam. It’s still five to2 Rays. We’re going to the bottom of the eighth. We got six outs to play with. Come on people. I think it’s time to call upon a friend for the final time at home this season. Folks, you know the friend, you know him well. He’s reaching. All right. I might have played that sound effect one second too long and now I’ll get a copyright claim. Folks, the hat. How you doing? Hey, 3550. Did we were we on 3550 before the day started? That seems kind of like a nice round number that I would have noticed. Thank you to any new subscribers today. Welcome in. This is the bird watcher channel and we are three likes away from a hundred on the day. Folks, you want us to rally? I got the hat on. I did my part. Charm City chat, I need you to pitch in. Let’s get the likes to 100 and that will create it. It’ll It’s like the big bang. There’s going to be a like a butterfly effect. All right, get to 100 likes and let’s uh you know, let’s rally. Gunnar Henderson is going to lead it off, I think. Yes, he is. First pitch is off the plate for ball one. Schultton’s is out to pitch another inning. 77 pitches. Seems like a good time to get to this guy. He can’t pitch forever. Swing and a miss by Gunner. It’s one and one. What is this photo of Kevin Brown? What is that? What the hell is he looking at? One-1 pitch grounded to second and Gunner is retired. One down. No bueno. All right. 3550. It would be nice this weekend to try and push as hard as we can if we averaged about 15 a game to get it up to 3600 for the end of the season. Ryan Mount Castle’s two for three. He takes a pitch inside for ball one. 7 and 12. what inches? Uh I don’t think it’s going to be over 7 and 12 inches. All the rain is uh left the area. So I’m going to have to say less than 7 and 12 ines of rain out here today. Oh, over under 7 and 1/2 ft. Are you talking about how tall the wall is out in left field? Yeah, the wall is actually 7 feet 10 in. So, technically it’s over 7 and 1/2 ft. Not many people ask about that, but uh yeah, the walls about 7′ 10 in. Ryan Mount Castle with a count of three balls in a strike. One out, nobody on in the bottom of the eighth. That ball bounces away for ball four. Mount Castle with a one out walk. Kevin Brown, what are these photos you’re sharing, my friend? What is this mly crew of tennis players we’re do looking at here? Jeremiah Jackson up to hit Jeremiah popped foul and out of play. Well, not out of play. It bounced off the screen. It’s behind home plate. Somebody’s got to go pick that ball up. Jeremiah one for three with a double back in the second inning. Lined in the left. That ball is going to get down. Let’s see if Jeremiah’s thinking too. Mount Castle will get to third. Jackson will settle for a long single. Smart move. No need to risk it. We’re bringing the tying run to the plate right now, folks. Hello. Splish. I was taking a bath. All right. Better late than never. Schultton’s. He’s still not taken out of this ball game. 86 pitches he’s thrown. How much do they expect this guy to do? Kevin Kelly is up in the Rays pin. Colton Cowser, the next batter do up. Man, we need Cowser. We know he’s an all or nothing guy. We just need all right now. His average is right on the Mendoza line. We need a ball out of the yard right now. Tying run at the plate. One down. The first pitch is up and away for ball one. Egan Aken is up in the oral pin. Not actively throwing, just hanging out. 10 outside. 2 and 0. First and third for Baltimore. One away. Looking for a late rally here after getting out of a bases loaded nobody out jam in the previous inning. Top of the eighth. That’s a called strike. It’s two and one on Cowser who just apparently had a bug fly up in his face. Don’t let that bug distracted. Cowser. We’ve got a mission and that is to see that baseball and square it up. Come on, buddy. Two-1 pitch. Swinging a miss late on that fast ball and a tough spot on the outside corner at the knees. Oh, he did have a moth or something up in his face. All right, two and two. Come on, buddy. Pitch. He chased one high, but he fouls it off. Still two balls, two strikes. Come on, Charm City. Don’t we have room for one more day of Orioles magic before this season ends? Can’t we have a little bit of fun? Come on. Two two swinging a go run cowser run bro. A run will score on a wild pitch. Cowser strikes out. Now this is a rule I’ve never quite understood. Why isn’t Cowser able to try to take first base? Or is it a like why didn’t he immediately run to first? Mount Castle scores. It’s five to three. Can somebody explain that rule to me? As much as I like to think I know about baseball, some situations a wild pitch on a swing and a miss strike three. you get to run down the first and if you beat the throw, you make the base. But I think that’s only when there’s nobody else on base. I think the rule is if there’s other people on but but the other thing is I think that’s only when it’s like a force. Like if somebody’s on first, but this is a situation where a runner was at third coming in, but then another runner was on first that went to sec. I think it’s the runner at first base going to second that for whatever reason doesn’t allow the batter who struck out to take first. I think that’s the way it goes. Hopefully that’s the way. I mean, if Cowser just ruined a chance to just get on first base, but you’ve seen it before, right? where like what happened to Cowser. For some reason, they don’t have the they’re not entitled to to try to go to first, but I think I explained the rule. I’m like 85% sure if that means anything. Come on, people. Wow. We’ve turned into just Now, see, there was talk that I needed to recruit mods. Now, look at the chat right now. I’m looking at nothing but mods, which is fine. Uh, if the base is unoccupied, right? So, because there was a runner at first, it was technically occupied, but at the same time, they’re also moving on the wild pitch. I don’t know. Uh Kevin Kelly is the reliever. This is his 40th appearance. Kobe Mayo at the plate. First pitch swinging left field. That ball is traveling. That ball is going to go by by birdie. Spread the mayo. Number 10 on the season. And the Orioles with a late rally have tied it up at 5 to five. Whip out the mayo. Oh ho ho it’s magic you know magic copyright magic copyright mag we’re all tied uply Rutman’s up to pinch hit for Alex Jackson and he drills one to right and that ball gets Pass the fielder. Rutman hits second base. Is he thinking three? He is. And he will make it. A two out triple for Rutman. And the wouldbe go ahead run 90 ft away. I told you there was magic left. Who put on the hat? Who put on the hat? You tell me folks. Magic. Dylan Carlson is going to pick up a bat. Rutman 90 ft away as the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth. Carlson will be hitting for Matteo. Everybody happy with that decision, I am sure. Can Dylan Carlson deliver a clutch go ahead hit? First pitch has taken bottom of the zone for a strike. We are tied at five. And uh folks, there is some fun being had at the ballpark. The 01 is high. One ball, one strike, folks. Call it the Baltimore miracle or some [ __ ] The 1-1 swinging a miss. A rising cutter from Kelly makes it a ball and two strikes. If the Orioles cannot take the lead, if Carlson does make the final out, the Orioles will have the top of the order due up in the bottom of the ninth. One, two, up and away. Two balls, two strikes. Two down with a runner at third. Five5 game. The pitch swing and a miss. Carlson chased one outside and strikes out. But the Orioles tie it up. They got close after being down 3 nothing and then the Rays made it a five-2 game. But a threerun eighth inning has us tied up despite being out hit 15-8 on the day. We head to the ninth inning. Anybody’s ball game, five to five, folks. We’ve gone over a 100 likes on the like count and I want to thank you very much for that. I really do. That is a good thing. Now, let’s take a look at the subscriber count. Folks, if you’re watching right now, listen up, okay? You are experiencing the Orioles Bird Watcher channel. That’s a channel that is dedicated to live coverage of Orioles baseball channels for everybody. And uh we want you to come in and be a part of things. didn’t cost you anything. Subscribe today. There’s no commitment. There’s no obligation. And no salesman will visit your home. Uh you’re helping a channel grow. You’re helping making it easier for you to find in your list of subscribed channels. And uh YouTube will be nice enough to make this channel easier for other people to find. The more people that subscribe, we’re up to 3554. And the more we get today, the more realistic the chances of ending Sunday final game on 3600 or more. That would be good. That’d be a nice way to wrap it up. All right, so top of the ninth inning. We’ve got a tie ball game. There’s a lot of work still to be done here. It’s nice to see the team rally back, but now that we have, we don’t want to settle for anything less than a than a win here. Keegan Aken is on the pitch. It’s his 63rd appearance of the season. And the first pitch of the ninth inning is a fast ball in there for a strike. I don’t know who’s up to hit yet. Is that Camero? Kind of looks like him. Rutman stays in the game to catch. Here’s a ground ball. Second base. Westberg is playing there and that will retire Camro. So, yes, Camro leading off and he is retired quickly on two pitches. Christopher Morurell is due up next. And then Richie Palasios. Morell is one for four. He’s driven in two runs today. First pitch from Akin is low. 10. That one’s lined in the left. That’s a hit. No, it’s not. Dylan Carlson closing down that line drive. Oh, I got egg on my face, folks. That looked like a double into the corner. Dylan Carlson didn’t have a whole lot of time to move. Just a few steps, but man, he got there. All right, two down for Palasios. First pitch a little bit low apparently. Ball one. He’s reached base twice and the one time he didn’t, he drove in a run with a sack fly. Tapper foul. It’s one ball, one strike. Morel’s morale. Swing and a miss. Two strikes on Palasios. Oh, Mr. Hyde. Oh jeez. I wonder if he shops at Modell’s one. Two pitch bowed away. Okay, we’ll do it again. One strike away from taking it to the bottom of the ninth and a chance to walk it off again. The top of the order will be due up. Beavers, Westber, and Gunner. If anybody gets on Mount Castle, who’s got a home run today. The one two popped up down the left field side. It’s going to get out of play. Five to five. Couple of games have gotten started. Here’s a ball head out towards center. Cows are racing back and will make the catch on the run to end the inning. Folks, Keegan Aken with a one, two, three. Ninth inning setting it up for the Orioles to walk it off. Beavers Westber Gunnar coming up in the bottom of the ninth and our final home game of the season. Reds still lead it two nothing. That’s in the eighth inning over the Pirates. At the end of five, Twins one- nothing on the Rangers. Astros have taken an early two nothing lead on the Athletics. Top of the second. Also top two, Dodgers have a two nothing lead on the Diamondbacks. Excuse me. A little bit of water might help. folks. Uh yeah, pretty good average view time today over 10 minutes. That’s nice and healthy. Michael Wellner’s here. How you doing, Michael? Feel like I haven’t seen you in a while. I’ve seen a lot of people in today that I haven’t seen in some time. Nice. Birdland members save up to 30% on concessions and merchandise up to When you say you save up to 30% on things, that means there’s one thing that’s 30% off. Everything else can be 1% off, but you get to claim all that stuff is up to 30% off when it’s really just one thing. Beavers drills one to right. That one’s going to reach Utah. by by birdie. Dylan Beavers has just walked it off on the first pitch he sees in the bottom of the ninth. And that’s how we end playing baseball at Camden Yards in 2025. Dylan Beavers an absolute rocket to right. It is on Utah Street. Unbelievable. The Orioles win it 6 to5. That’s my leadoff man right there. Note to Jackson Holiday. That’s how you lead off right there. Mag right. Splish splash. I was taking a bath. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. R I O L E S. Magic. Magic. Magic. Magic. Magic baby, folks. Do you believe in me? Do you believe in me? The power of the hat. Folks, the Orioles season has not been a good one, but uh we still have some good times, don’t we? We walked it off on a Dylan Beaver’s homer. First pitch of the bottom of the ninth absolutely destroyed it. How far did it fly? Let’s look cuz that one 417 ft. I think you need to reverse that one and that seven. I’m saying 471. That ball was launched out of here. No doubt shot from the bee. He’s getting interviewed right now. All right, let’s take a look here. Final score, six to five. Keegan Aken pitching that scoreless top of the ninth will get the win. He’s five and four. Kevin Kelly gets the loss as he only went one out. Gave up three hits, two earned runs. That’s right. He gave up not only the walk-off in the ninth, he allowed the tying run to score in the eighth. So Kevin Kelly, thank you for your service, sir. Uh Kade Povich with the start today. It was not an impressive start. Five and two/3 innings. He gave up 10 hits and two walks. He gave up on average more than two base runners per inning, but it was never a big inning for the Rays. Oh, no. I take that back. I’m thinking about last night’s game. Last night’s game, they kept scoring one run per inning. They did put up a three spot in the third and then a two spot in the six, but every inning there was traffic and only two of the innings uh did they uh put it together and get some runs on the board. Meanwhile, the bullpen comes in and combines to pitch four and a3 shutout innings, giving up five hits, no walks, and striking out five batters. That is a four pitch four pitcher combo of Jerem Heraldo, Cage Strad, Rico Garcia, and Keegan Aken. Uh at the plate today, Dylan Beavers again gets a chance to hit lead off. He didn’t get his first hit until the final swing of the game, but he did score twice as he walked back in the fifth inning. So 400 on base percentage for Beavers today, reaching base twice in five plate appearances. Westber had a quiet day 0 for four. Gunner had a two-h hit day without an RBI or a run. Mounty with a nice day, two for three, two runs scored, a home run, and two runs batted in. Jeremiah Jackson with another multi-hit game. Two for four with a run. Cowser, man, what are we what are we gonna do with you, buddy? Average below the Mendoza line, 0 for three, hitting 199. Uh Kobe Mayo had another home run today, his 10th of the season, a couple of RBI. And uh we won’t talk about the bottom of the order. Alex Jackson, Jorge Matteo combined 0 for six combined hitting about 200. Adley Rutman though had a triple, a pinch hit triple. Didn’t really amount to anything. It came with two down. Uh he didn’t score, but uh nice to see Adley uh chugging around the bases there. And uh yeah, what a nice way to end uh the uh home uh home stand and and uh the season of playing baseball in Baltimore. It wasn’t a big crowd today, obviously. Let me refresh. They probably got the attendance here. 16,777 the paid attendance. Game time 2 hours 54 minutes. And that pretty much puts a bow on game number 159 of the season. Three left to play. All against the New York freaking Yankees. There’s the one two behind to right center field. There’s a base hit. And that one gets away from Jazz. Another run is in. More bad defense from the Yankees. It’s 7 nothing. Jazz couldn’t handle the throw coming in from the outfield. And just like that, it is a seven to nothing ball game. Just [ __ ] take the whole team off the field, man. Take the whole team off the field. Take the whole team off the field. Take them all. Get them all [ __ ] out of here. I’m so done. I I can’t even look at this anymore, man. I can’t look at this [ __ ] anymore. This is pathetic. This is This This is truly Stick a fork in the Yankees. That’s done, baby. Stick a fork in them. The 32 pitch hit in the air to right field and deep and the Mets have taken the lead. [ __ ] this team. Stick a fork in the Yankees. They’re done, baby. Stick a fork in them. That was as the one two hit right back to Louie. Goes the second one on the first. Jazz throws it. What the [ __ ] was that? Jazz, folks. Yankee baseball. 27 rings. Yeah. In your bathtub, right? Am I right or am I right? Uh Melanie. Melanie, I got to admit today, Melanie’s pulling out all the stops. One more home game to show off the puppies. Melanie is not going to miss this opportunity. Oh yeah, familyfriendly. Hey, Mouse Talk. I’m I’m I’m a terrible channel, okay? I drop some bad words. I make all kinds of innuendos and disgusting observations. I’m a terrible What was it somebody said about my channel or me once? Like I’m sickening or something. Somebody Oh, no. I know what you meant, mouse. You’re talking about Pete who runs NYY Underground Yankee playbyplay caller. But I’m just letting you know I’m uh I’m not free of uh you know I I don’t get off scot-free. I I uh I made an effort the first season of this channel to really be you know familyfriendly like keep all the cursing out. Uh you know call the game straight. But as time has gone on, I guess my personality just could not be uh held back. And now there’s just this uh yeah, I’m just constantly making stupid jokes. Uh but anyway, look, uh let’s talk about tomorrow night’s game because it’s 3:10 a.m. over here. I plan on going back to bed now. and uh getting ready for the Yankees coming up tomorrow night. Uh I’m going to check one more time to see if the Yankees did indeed uh announce a starter for tomorrow yet. And the answer to that is no. Trevor Rodgers will be facing somebody tomorrow night. Um, we don’t know yet, but uh, I don’t care who the Yankees put out there. I’m going to put my faith in Trevor Rogers to be the better of the two. This game is going to be on MLB Network. All right. Well, then I better not have any issues tomorrow. Uh, 7:05 for the first pitch. The stream will start at 6:50. Just to let you know, the final two games of the season on Saturday. It’s an afternoon game, 10:05 p.m. First pitch. That stream will start at 12:50 p.m. That will match up Tomyuki Sagano against Cam Schlitter. And then the final game of the season, 3:05 p.m. first pitch, which Why are you doing that? I don’t know when the Ravens are playing, but a 305 start means it’s either starting in the middle of a Ravens game or if the Ravens play at four, it’s going to bleed into that. Uh hopefully it’s not going to prevent too many of you from staying away. It’s the last game of the season. Kyle Bradish is going to make his final start and he’s looked good out there. has Bradish. Uh he will be facing Louis Heel at 3:05 p.m. on Sunday for uh that stream will start at 2:50 p.m. And then that’s it, folks. Playoff also be coming up. We’re not in it, but this channel is not going to fold up the tent. I will be calling games during the postseason. Uh, I initially had said that I’m only going to focus on the later games uh because why would I force myself to wake up in the middle of the night to call an afternoon playoff game uh when it’s not my team? But after talking to my buddy JJ, I’ve realized I really do need to just uh you know, my body is so ready to just take a vacation, just get back to a normal sleep schedule, get to enjoy the evenings out doing something and and all that, you know. Uh, so knowing that this season was going to end without a postseason, I guess my mind was just ready to be like, “Oh, I can’t wait to just stop doing this and take a break.” But the reality is I need to just call as many games as I can. Uh, keep the channel as uh, you know, active as I can for as long as I can. And then once you know the postseason’s over, this experimental uh content I’ll be doing starting at the end of October, beginning of November, I have no idea how that’s going to go. And if it goes terribly, then again, it would probably be in my best interest to call as many playoff games as I can. So that’s what I’m going to do. I don’t I think I’m going to keep it at just one per day, but I don’t know. Uh, I’m going to play it by ear. I’m probably going to pick whichever game I feel might be the least covered among other playbyplay content creators on YouTube. Uh, to try to avoid crazy competition, you know, if everybody’s calling, if if it’s going to be a Yankees Red Sox, that’s a tough call. I mean, I feel like people that tune in to my channel would probably want to see that series called uh even though it’s kind of hard to pick who to root for there. You just want them both to lose, honestly. But I don’t know. Again, if I had my brothers, I’m calling the Mariners in the American League and I’m calling the Cubs in the National League. But uh either way, there will be October content coming up, more baseball, not Orioles, but uh postseason stuff and uh should be fun. Let’s watch the 83 World Series. I I can’t really, Matt, without getting a copyright. I can, but it would be demonetized. Uh, I tell you what, if you guys want to chip in and total like 20 bucks, I’ll do it cuz there’s there’ll be no ad revenue that they’ll they’ll they will copy. We’ll we’ll do it. They might even shut it down like midstream. I’m not sure. U probably not, but it’s possible. But definitely once the stream ends, they will demonetize it. Uh I know this because I’ve called retro games in the past and uh in the first season uh I wasn’t monetized yet. So I had no idea that that would be how it would work. But this spring, I did it a second time with a monetized channel, and it was nothing but copyright claims and demonetized uh games for those retro games. They’re fun to do, but uh you know, if like five people throw in four bucks, we can make it happen. I I’ll just write it off as as you know. We’ll turn off the ads. We’ll do it on the on the down low. In fact, I might even be able to You know what I need? Well, no, I can’t do that. I’m thinking of ways, folks. I’m thinking of ways of working around YouTube stuff. Uh, but always remember that I don’t have any plans to uh create content that’s behind any kind of a payw wall, you know, like a Patreon or something like that because I was going to say, well, we could set up something like that, but then, you know, if you don’t have access, you don’t have a way to watch it, I want everybody I want everybody to be able to have access to whatever I’m putting on this channel, you know what I mean? Uh I did for this month, Janet, we’re just a few days away from October and I will give out some in October. Uh even though we’re done playing baseball, free Magic membership for one month during the postseason is something. Oh, I’ll give away those free ones. I’ll give them away. All right. Uh, I’m tired. And what a finish. What a finish. Can I go back and listen? Listen to that Beaver’s call. Is that possible? When did it happen? Must have been about where about here somewhere. 6:50. Just to let you know myself to wake up in the middle of the night, have all the games straight. Have I been talking for like a half hour straight? How long have I been talking? Are you kidding amount to anything? It came with two down. Unbelievable. There’s no way I’ve been talking this long. All right, here we go. Here’s the call, folks. Here’s the call. Ivers drills one to right. That one’s going to reach Utah. by by birdie. Dylan Beavers has just walked it off on the first pitch he sees in the bottom of the ninth. And that’s how we end playing baseball at Camden Yards in 2025. Dylan Beavers an absolute rocket to right. It is on Utah Street. Unbelievable. The Orioles win it 6 to5. Lovely. Not a bad way to wrap up 81 home games. All right, folks. That’s going to do it for me. Um I don’t know if anyone’s calling these handful of games that are on right now. Let’s see. Well, the Pittsburgh game just went final, so no good for Dr. Delay. Reds win that one two to one. So, the pressure is on the Mets. The Reds have won already. Uh, I don’t think anybody else is calling. I’ll take a look. We’re up to 3,555 subscribers. If we average 15 a game, these final three, we hit 3600, folks. Everybody do whatever they can to help get that sub count up. I’d appreciate it. I know I’m going to try. Uh I’m looking on the YouTube right now, see if anybody I know is streaming. And uh well, I’m not taking you there cuz I don’t like how that guy runs his channel to be perfectly honest with you. So, I think I’m just signing off, folks. That’s going to do it. We are done. Baseball at Camden Yards in 2025 is over. The Orioles do take the series against the Rays. We really needed a sweep. If we had a chance to catch up to them, we would have. Had we won game two, we would be sitting right now in the same record. But we’re going to need a lot of help and we’re going to have to beat these Yankees this weekend if we’re going to get out of last place. Otherwise, that’s it. 2025 wrapping up and uh it’s been a pleasure. We’ll go over everything as we watch the Yankees starting tomorrow, but uh yeah, season’s wrapping up. I’m getting a I’m getting a little bit uh you know uh you know kind of like that postpartum depression or whatever you call it, you know, like getting a little bit sad. The season’s wrapping up, but uh hope spring’s eternal, folks. I can’t wait for the spring. All right, that’s going to do it for me and the hat, folks. Don’t you dare. By the way, where is my where is my uh and also by the way for the weekend folks if you’re feeling generous final weekend to maybe send a super chat or two uh to help out the channel get through the winter months. BW’s got to hunker down and uh put up a tarp and get through these cold winter months even though it’s going to be 88 degrees every day where I am. You feel me? So, think about it this final weekend. If you want to help out one more time, that would be great. Uh, don’t let that one nice gentleman’s giant super chat prevent you. Okay, that dude is awesome. By the way, I was a little bit wrong on my math. I’m like, damn, that’s going to basically pay for my visa. No, it’s going to pay for the travel that’s involved in getting the visa, which I’m very thankful for because it is extra expensive this season because I have to go to a different country because there’s a a land border issue between Thailand and Cambodia, folks. I wish they would just come to some kind of agreement. I mean they are fighting over like literal like square footage of like like a little like a little hole in the ground is like being thought about. It’s like come on just draw the border. Be done with it. Anyway, I got to go. I’m delirious. Thank you everybody. Have a good night. You guys are the best. Thanks to the mods. You guys are the best. Thanks for getting the likes over 100. You guys rock. And uh we did it. We walked it off. We came back. Fun game. Come on back tomorrow night. We got the Yankees. We’re going to the Bronx. Hope to see you then. Until then, this has been the Bird Watcher and the Hat. And we will chirp at you later. Have a good rest of your Thursday, everybody. Until tomorrow.
