planned area for luxury people uh boy i feel luxurious hey everybody enjoying hey can i get a can i get a latte over here thanks uh right folks uh welcome back the orioles tonight game two of a three-game series against the detroit tigers at oral park at camden yards and uh yeah uh this uh this particular game is being called uh under two special circumstances number one uh in memory of brian wilson rest in peace brian wilson uh i’ll probably be talking about him for half of this ball game so be prepared for that secondly it’s a bit of a protest uh to uh what the orioles uh ownership feels is a priority for this organization right now which is uh to build uh you know some stupid overpriced starbucks in the middle of uh the ballpark so people can apparently just sit with their backs to the field for $500 dollars a pop or whatever it is uh yeah i we can’t uh we can’t uh you know offer an contract extension any of our players apparently but uh hey we’re willing to have a nice little area for people who aren’t really baseball fans or maybe some corporate sponsors can come in and have a nice little event uh you know some hobnobbing some deal m some wheeling and dealing could go on in a place like this folks it’s not just about the the the shrimp uh on the uh buffet over there no this is uh there’s a there’s a lot there’s a lot good about uh this right anyway we got a ball game tonight uh so i guess i need to do my uh my due diligence here and get into the information uh the orioles lost the first game of this three-game series against the tigers detroit’s 20 games over 500 best record in baseball and tonight they’ve got a pitcher who with a record of 6 and one and an erra of 2.91 casey mai this guy was a i believe a number one overall pick as a pitcher when he was selected i don’t know some six years ago or so uh took him a while to uh grow into the number one overall pitching prospect that he uh was uh but he’s putting up numbers like one uh this season a breakout season for casey mai six-1 with a 2.91 ra he’ll be up against zack efflin effin has a 5-2 record with an ra of 4.47 uh for the visiting tigers the lineup looks like this i say looks like this and in order to buy me a few seconds to get the page up all right parker meadows will lead off and play center field glabber torres will bat second and play second carrie carpenter who was out of the lineup last night is back in there hitting third and dhing riley green moves down to the cleanup spot he’s in left field spencer torqulson is in is at first base batting fifth wincio perez who had a big game last night he’s in right field batting sixth colt keith makes his first start of the series at third base hitting seventh jake rogers will do the catching tonight and bat eighth and zack mckinstry who was at third base last night moves over to shortstop and bats ninth for the orioles what i have to say is probably the strongest lineup this team can put together uh injuries or not uh we’ve got jackson holiday leading off and playing second base adley rutman will do the catching and bat second gunner henderson will hit third and play shorts stop ryan o’harn is at first base and the cleanup hitter jordan westberg’s going to dh and bat fifth colton cowser will hit sixth and play in left field raone lauraniano will bat seventh and play right field said mullins is back in the field and center he’ll hit eighth and finally ramon aras back in the lineup tonight uh kobe mayo the only real change aras in playing third mayo uh is out and aras batting ninth so there is your lineup pretty strong again tyler o’neal and gary sanchez are in rehab assignments and jorge matteo by the way jorge mateo has landed on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation so uh luis vasquez has been called up from triple a to fill in as the sort of middle infield backup guy uh he doesn’t offer the the speed tool that matteo does but we do need somebody that can uh back up at our middle infield positions and uh we’re going with luis vasquez for now and that pretty much wraps up things in terms of uh news since uh yesterday’s ball game unless you want to talk more about this uh this luxury box uh plan thing they got going on here hey i’m already excited look i’m here i’m sitting here it’s great folks opening in 2026 this immense indooroutdoor experience located behind home plate will include vip parking private entrance rotating upscale menu unique beverage program and more boy i tell you though i’m i’m sitting here one thing it doesn’t seem to offer me is a decent view of the ball game i like how like up here or or way way the hell over there uh there there’s monitors of the game that you paid like $500 to watch that’s right out that window back there but like 80% of the people sitting in here are not looking anywhere toward the ball game they may as well be at starbucks folks what are we doing i don’t know uh but hey for us regular people there are two sections somewhere in the ballpark where you can get a bag of popcorn for $3 so they’re looking out for the regular folk too they’re looking out for us regular folk they’re giving out straw hats and uh $3 popcorn so all all is good in birdland right now anybody hinting a note of sarcasm uh all right this game is five minutes away from first pitch let’s get the game up on the screen shall we can you tell bw is feeling a little bit cynical tonight bw is feeling a little bit cynical little bit it’s going to be zack efflin against casey mai all right all right i’m here for some baseball i want to enjoy it and again it’s a goof tonight folks we’re going to be hanging out here don’t worry i’ll have the uh information screen up and working as soon as uh there’s information to show you right now it’s just kind of looking like that until we get the uh live scoreboard up and moving whoops i didn’t mean to do that got rid of the text all right yeah can i get a shrimp cocktail over here please yeah by the way why do i get the one seat all the way in the back facing away from the game i don’t like this i paid big money for this uh charm city chat how you guys doing is morton pitching no it’s um zack efflin on the mound tonight birdland is here coming through loud and clear big kzo is here and apparently that’s it uh helon uh slater kurt uh jinxy the cat bw the view of fans behind home plate at camden fields is the most middle class looking actual interested involved people than any park has recently offered huh well that might change once they uh build this thing uh george is here how you doing george all right folks let’s waste no time special lucky right out of the gate hey there daniel i don’t know maybe some stuff i wrote in the discord will remind me of a thing or two yeah i won’t bring that topic up yet at least not for now folks all i’ll say is this look if you’re a channel that has got all the resources one could ever possibly need or ask for and you have the privilege of being connected to pretty much any baseball person you want whether it’s an ex-player or a coach or a beat writer somewhere and you have a facility uh that is pretty much unmatched in terms of access to the team and uh you come from a family that uh is seemingly doing pretty good in terms of you know a career revolving uh involving the orioles uh you know it would really be nice for your channel to maybe not push so hard all the sports betting stuff that you’re doing it’s kind of gross it’s kind of gross just saying don’t think you need to do that hey folks it’s another bring your dog to the ballpark night slater uh you know everyone’s can feel free to take guesses i don’t know all right zach efflin is on the mound thank you ronnie uh we got elwood here as well charles slater and ronnie big cuzo says morton might not be on the team much longer uh i got a feeling they’re going to bump cade povich to the bullpen and have rogers take his spot in the rotation and still stick with morton because i don’t think the orioles they’re going to do the same thing with kimbell they’re not going to just say “hey we made a bad signing.” and move on they’re going to just keep trottting them out there to try and salvage something out of what everybody is already uh you know we already know it’s a bad signing folks we need some positivity but i got to be honest i just lost one of my heroes okay brian wilson has passed away at the age of 82 uh there aren’t many uh artists out there musicians or otherwise that i feel have given so much positive light sunshine to this world it’s a pretty dark world folks and uh you know you got you got some artists out there over the years that have contributed so much and a lot of these artists you know they pay a sacrifice cuz you know brian wilson had mental health issues well documented there’s a price you pay for being a genius we see examples of this all over the place whether you’re a scientist or an artist uh so many people throughout history have basically sacrificed their lives and their own mental health in order to create something for the rest of the world to enjoy and brian wilson was one of those people and uh it’s just really heartbreaking uh to learn of his passing today we are underway folks baseball in baltimore game two first pitch from effin to austin parker meadows is uh at the bottom of the zone for a called strike and we are underway next pitch is a little bit inside the count even up at one and one i’m still waiting for manscaping to call me for a sponsorship two and one the count on meadows and this pitch is fouled away curve ball from ephlyn meadows average is under 200 getting a chance to hit lead off here that’s a called strike three a change up knee high on the inside corner and efflin begins the ball game with a punch out well y’all come back now you hear jinxy how long you plan on hanging out tonight because i plan on answering that question in song at some point as a little bit of a tribute to the late brian wilson obviously i have to go with a track off of pet sounds because pet sounds is probably one of if not the most important uh recorded pieces of music of the 20th century uh here’s a ground ball to third aras over to first in time and glabber torres is retired for out number two sing it already it would be nice to get it out of the way i just don’t i i was i was ballawling uh for about two hours and up until about 10 minutes before hitting the live button still trying to clear up my sinuses and yeah this is one of the roughest ones for me folks uh carrie carpenter has a first pitch strike on him two down nobody on and the next one from ephlyn is up and away one ball one strike carpenter hitting 279 two for five off of efflin lifetime one of those two hits is a home run swing and a miss a curveball chased by carpenter one and two the count ein’s only thrown 10 pitches and he’s one strike away from getting through the first one two three the one two hit on the ground the first and o’harn will take it to the bag himself to win the inning efflin with a one two three inning and didn’t throw a lot of pitches a good start against the first place tigers we go to the bottom of the first it’s the or uh tigers nothing in the orioles coming up you want me to get it out of the way it’s a pretty small crowd here so i might as well get it out of the way hey i’m gonna butcher it because nobody can touch brian wilson but uh in memory of brian i may not always love you but long as there are stars above you you never need to doubt it i’ll make you so sure about it god only knows what i’d be without you boom boom boom if you should ever leave me though life would still go on believe me the world could show nothing to me so what good would living do me god only knows what i’d be without you [Music] ba [Music] god only knows what i’d be without you if you should ever leave me though life would still go on believe me the world could show nothing to me so what good would living do me god only knows what i’d be without you jackson holiday [Music] ow and to the count god only knows what i’d be without you god only knows what i’d god only knows god only knows what i’d be without you god only knows what i’ god only knows rest in peace brian thank you so much for everything one and two the count on holiday leading off the bottom of the first there are four number one overall picks in this game a couple for the tigers mai and torqulson the orioles have adley and holiday one two pitch fouled away at the plate and holiday hanging in there leading off the ball game current average at 267 i think we’ve got the scoreboard up swing and a miss holiday chased a low one to strike out one away in the bottom of the first here’s adley rutman first pitch that breaks off the plate outside for ball one let the clutch out gently okay orioles are wearing their black shirts with the orange lettering and white pants tigers in their standard road grays that pitch is off the plate it’s 2-0 rutman gets a 200 fast ball top of the zone and fouls it back ah folks i’m loving it here in the vip lounge that pitch is outside three and one the count hitters count for rutman [Music] that was called a strike that was that was called a strike what that previous pitch was okay it’s three and two right now holy cow what a bad call rutman reaches for one hits it softly into the air to left and that’s the second out riley green on the catch folks did anybody see that back call i i just i try not to uh assume but that pitch was so off the plate i had to just say it was ball three umpire called it a strike two down for gunner henderson his name’s gunner and he’s dating my mom he takes high and outside for ball one 270 average for gunner eight homers just 18 rbi swinging a miss folks we’re like 10 games away from the halfway point of the season and gunner is on pace for like 40 rbi what is going on that pitch is low two and one the count that one’s called a strike looked about an inch outside gunner is not happy asks for time and indeed on the replay you can see that ball was not in the zone so another call going against us uh the 22 pitch in the dirt hey george yeah i mean i’m loving my vip treatment you can see right here where my finger is that is a tv screen which is facing sideways so you can turn your head away from the field and just watch the game on a tv while you drink your $25 latte who wouldn’t want to watch baseball like this that’s a ball forward to gunner folks we got our first base runner of the ball game a two out walk [Music] i’m walking here i’m walking here tickets start at a th00and i threw out 500 just as a you know as a guess that if anything maybe i’m starts at a thousand so let me get this straight if we uh so if you sit up by the window and can actually see the ball game what is that 2,000 but if you’re this guy who can’t see a godamn thing it’s only $1,000 to sit in a starbucks chair with your buddy with his back completely to the game why are you even there to take instagram photos to show everybody you know that you’re there this is not baseball these are not fans here is a stolen base for gunner henderson folks a two out steel of second puts him in a scoring position his eighth swipe of the season with ryan o’harn currently at the plate two down a chance to drive in gunner flights on let’s turn and burn they expect tickets to start at a thousand yeah okay i get a lap dance with that i would expect unlimited crabs and i mean that both on the buffet and from uh a a waitress uh around the corner $1,000 $1,000 it’s a full count of rhino folks come on that ball’s hitting in the air to center it is going to hang up there meadows with the catch as he sprints in toward the infield and the inning is over the orioles get a runner to second after a walk in a stolen base by gunnar henderson but he’s left stranded we go to the second inning now no score oh i don’t know if i can do any requests jinxy i did i did a song i already feel a little bit uh you know embarrassed folks i’m noticing a bit of a flash go off at the top of the screen where the scoreboard is like at the tippy top are you guys seeing it too are you seeing it like occasionally just sort of like flash cuz if you are then i need to do something about it i can tolerate it but yeah it just did it again it just did it again is anybody seeing that you are seeing that okay what the hell is that about always something man okay let me see what i can do do a oldfashioned refresh first now how the hell did i wind up there okay now it now it’s there all right we’ll see if this works i got a feeling it’s going to do it again yeah what are we doing folks back in the old days of memorial folks can we just figure out how baseball was able to survive for 150 years the players weren’t getting paid enough as they should and i get it uh you know prices do go up over time but let’s be honest up until maybe the late 80s early 90s a middle class family or if you’re just a an individual a bachelor who just loved to go to baseball games you could afford to do it you could afford to do it who can afford to go to just any old game they won any old time anymore but uh last i checked uh in the 20s 30s 40s 50s 60s,7s 80s any decade you want to pick the owners still make a profit the league goes on but every year the fans uh you know either you’re you know you’re part of a an elite group that money is no object and who cares and those people usually don’t even pay attention to the damn game they’re just looking at their phones and sending out instagram posts going “look at me and where i’m sitting at this ball game.” meanwhile regular fans the dieards what are they doing for us what are they doing three bag $3 bags of popcorn located in two concession stands scattered somewhere around the ballpark you need a treasure map to find them bw is a little pissed two and two the count on riley green beginning the top of the second bw just might need to air it all out tonight and get it all out of his system oh big cuzo believe me that’s what i do i’ve never i’ve never paid for any outlandish one time i splurged on a boogs barbecue sandwich because i had to have it and that was way back like 93 like the year the park opened i had to go out there and get one of them sandwiches other than that yeah i’m sneaking food in i’m sneaking drinks in i’m going out to the concourse and sneaking a lucky in here’s a fly ball to center field mullins will make an easy catch two down in the top of the second that’ll bring up windal perez it’s gotten out of control folks it’s been out of control jan janet and i were talking about it on the discord a lot of people like us regular folk who love the game of baseball just want to be able to afford to go as many times as we can because we love it well our best option is is to go to watch minor league games here’s a ball hit to left and a catch will be made in foul ground to win the inning by colton cowser so another fine inning from efflin he’s yet to give up anything uh bottom of the second coming up no score folks i remember even when camden yards opened you could still in the early years there you could go down to like fels point or somewhere into a into a dive bar with a empty jug an empty like gallon jug like a milk jug and you would hand it over to the bartender and say “fill it up.” and it would be like 10 bucks or something and they would allow you to bring that into the ballpark i remember going with my friend herb uh older guy and yeah that’s what we did we went down to a bar we had a got a couple of crab cake sandwiches and a big old uh jug of tap beer brought it all into the park feasted all game beasted and don’t get me started about the old days where you could just sit back in the bleachers and have yourself a lucky don’t even get me started gaming kitchen you’re in the community we are the last of a dying breed folks we’re an endangered species old school baseball fans yeah we’re kind of getting together in a new school sort of technologydriven sort of a way but that’s the workaround instead of technology using me i’m using technology to help try and uh you know bring an atmosphere of the old days back a little bit yeah it’s just insane i mean folks again this isn’t delving into politics but i’m pretty sure most of you out there are aware of the fact that the average household can’t afford an emergency more than $500 hundreds of millions of americans that if they were hit with a $500 emergency today they would have to go into debt borrow money do something and yet you want us to pay that much to take a family to go see a ball game and then some nights you’re gonna not even uh maybe refund the a family on a night where like you know you play the reds give up 24 runs and have two position players pitching the final two innings you don’t think to maybe compensate those folks they spent a lot of money to come out to watch the product on the field folks bw’s in a bit of a rage tonight jordan westber’s at the plate with two down he’s got a 2-2 count oh maybe there’s not two down i think it’s the second inning there’s nobody out excuse me that two is the inning not the outs that ball’s going to drop into right field westber is thinking two the throw in not in time it’s a hustle double from westy well west is that way oh god i missed this guy on the team i was taking a bath here’s the deal if you love the orioles and the only thing stopping you from going to every game is because it’s just too damn expensive then that’s a problem because your best fans are sitting at home right now watching instead of being there because they can’t afford it those same fans in the 60s and the 70s and the 80s they were there because you gave them an opportunity to afford to do that 10 pitch to cowser is fouled away count even up at a ball on a strike and folks when you go to minor league games minor league games aren’t exactly like you know a $2 raffle ticket basically you go to a minor game now a minor league game and to me you’re paying what should be the price of a major league game you know which is to say affordable not cheap but affordable one and two the count on colton cowser folks [Music] and he takes a pitch just a hair low the count even up at two and two runner at second nobody out for baltimore trying to take the lead swinging a miss cowser chased well he didn’t chase that ball would have hit the bottom inside corner but he missed went away and another situation you get a leadoff double next guy up you just want to make contact give a chance to move that runner over with one out and uh man i don’t know if there’s a team worse than us at that situation but if there is let me know uh raone lauraniano at the plate one out runner at second first pitch is fouled away raone just threw a rock at me lauriano hit cleanup last night against a lefty starter that ball’s lined right back to the pitcher and with the runner off base westber is doubled off at second base to win the inning good grief [Music] yeah so let me talk a little bit about this orioles offense real quick okay because i took a look at where our team rankings were and i posted them in my discord let me bring those up right now and sort of underline what is wrong with our hitting approach that again relies way too much on what they think is good data currently coming into today’s play the orioles offense ranks accordingly in batting average we’re hitting 238 that’s 22nd in baseball out of 30 and runs were 25th out of 30 home runs were 13th on base percentage we’re down to 26th our worst ranking of them all and finally slugging percentage that gets bumped up to middle of the pack at 16th 388 so what does that tell you folks uh we only have two stats were at least in the middle of the pack and it’s home runs and slugging percentage but everything else has suffered in the process so what does that tell you it tells you that this is a team that is focused too heavily on trying to just you know hit the ball as hard as possible it’s all about that exit vo all about that big swing no emphasis on drawing walks that’s why the on base percentage is near the very bottom we’re 25th in runs so even though we’re middle of the pack in home runs and slugging it doesn’t reflect in the runs why because well a lot of those home runs uh come like solo shots because we’re not getting guys on base i mean everything you need to know about what’s wrong with this offense is right there you need to have more patience you need to stop emphasizing i mean folks jacob wilson did anybody watch that sacramento series jacob wilson looks like a guy that’s never going to hit 20 home runs in his career he’s never going to slug 500 even with a 380 batting average all the guy does is just get hits give me a guy like that teach a plate approach like that and i promise you we’ll put up more runs and win more ball games that way a public service announcement from the bird watcher all right one the count how did the first out get made wow i am losing my touch it’s already jake rogers at the plate colt keith has been retired uh keith went down uh with grounding out to shortstop so with one out a 2-1 count now on jake rogers he’s only hitting 139 this pitch is in there for a strike the count is two and two yeah janet i mean it’s the world’s worstkept secret so it’s like you’re seeing the result that’s what i’m saying this is a large enough sample size we’re nearing the halfway point of the season you see what our hitting philosophy has produced in terms of the rankings with other teams it’s not working here’s a ground ball to third aras over to first in time and the inning is not over that’s the second out now look with an approach like the one we try yeah there’s going to be occasional games where we’re going to put like 13 runs up on the board because uh you know either the pitchers is having a bad day or we’re just finally you know just stringing hits together because eventually you get into a run like that but as a practice over the course of 62 games no i don’t agree with our hitting philosophy i think it’s really screwed up uh zack mckenry ball one and now ball two a curve ball low from efflin mckenry hitting 276 he’s up there with two down nobody on top of the third three know the count now and yeah suddenly for yeah suddenly the strike zone uh pretty tight on efflin he doesn’t get a courtesy call same situation last night a pitcher falls behind 3 and 0 throws ball four and it was nowhere near a strike was that the o’harn at bat was that the one where ryan o’harn got screwed well we just saw the opposite play out here for the opponent effin does not get the benefit of the doubt it’s a two out walk and here is meadows up for the second time he shows bunt he gets it down and it’s right to efflin though and he fires to first in time to win the inning thanks meadows so the tigers are still hitless effin did give up a walk it was kind of bs only base runner so far through three innings for detroit as efflin’s only faced one over the minimum now it’s time for the bats we’ve got one hit and then westberg uh what did he do he doubled and then he got yeah he got caught somehow and doubled off that’s right on the off liner on the infield mullins aras and holiday do up lord have mercy i’ll tell you this that rhino hernab bat last night that missed call the one that rob brought up i don’t know about you guys but if tony mancelino is ever going to show that he’s got some fire in him and i think a manager needs to have that element not every manager needs to be lu panella not every manager needs to be aussie gillian and just going ballistic all the time but you want your manager to show a you know something cuz we got hosed we got absolutely hosed on that call and manscolino didn’t didn’t say a peep did not say a peep you think earl weaver would have just sat there quietly after that moment no freaking way frank robinson you think he would have buck shalwater hells no folks said mullen’s first pitch swinging is it a fair ball it is mullins hits the first base bag he’s going for two a little bit of trouble getting the ball out of the corner but said was already sliding into second folks he knows what to do splash it up [Music] yes michael the homer hose does still exist although the last time the orioles used it ryan o’harn just knocked it to the ground not sure what that symbolized but mullins with a base hit 100 miles an hour off the bat a double and that’ll bring up ramon aras okay once again we got a leadoff guy at second can we at least know how to move him over we could do better aras gets into one deep to left field that ball is gone by by rammon they’re hitting him ninth in the order and that’s what our number nine hitter can do when our team is healthy we’ve got pop up and down the lineup it’s two nothing orioles all right oh ho ho it’s magic [Music] let’s see if the homer hose makes an appearance [Music] left out of the lineup in westberg’s first game back it made me feel like oh are you going to do raone wrong you better not raone is an everyday player folks ramon is an everyday player to me westberg should be dhing like he is tonight over a guy like a mayo and your average lineup this like i said tonight’s lineup to me is the strongest lineup we can put out there and what better way to make that point than when the number nine hitter goes deep you’ve got again folks if our guys can just get our act together this team top to bottom has hitters these guys can all hit they can okay so again if this season turns out to where we wind up with middle to we shouldn’t even be middle of the pack in offensive categories here’s a ground ball it’s a fair ball and after initially thinking about going to second base torqulson wisely turns around and gets the easy out at first unassisted put out of rutman one down with a runner at second base now for the orioles yeah doesn’t it though i was thinking the same thing janet for the money you’re paying look at how just if you didn’t know that this very like uh back what where am i pointing like this window right here was the ball game you look like you’re in an airport somewhere waiting for like a a layover you look like you’re in just some podunk hotel lobby area like where’s all the oral like uh they could have at least painted that ceiling with some sort of oral theme it looks like you know it looks cheesy it just but of course this is an ai photo this is just a bunch of ai garbage uh called strike three to gunner henderson on a pitch low and outside on the corner tough pitch for mai gunner goes down quickly yes chila we are winning ryan o’harn is going to foul one at the plate it’s 0 and one two down runner still at second base o’harn with a chance to make it three nothing with a base hit [Music] come on chilo don’t get so down on the team gosh if you’re going to crucify a pitcher for a bad night and then like kind of mockingly talk about us winning tonight which do you want do you want us to lose or do you want us to win we are winning right now let’s try to enjoy it ramona reus going yard with a two-run bomb this inning is over we go to the fourth baltimore leaded two to nothing ah me and chilo are we ever going to see me and chilo are like the odd couple if we were ever roommates i would obviously be is it oscar i’ i’d be the the slob clearly the cool slob is a viable trade chip yeah well i mean it just depends on what we’re trading for i mean if you’re looking for like a a pitching prospect you know you might get something there for reus but i’m living in a world right now where i’m willing to maybe let go of one of our bigger younger players if it meant getting an ace in return and then just keeping aras on this infield i like aras as a everyday player it doesn’t seem like he can do anything to ever get the respect to to to get that designation and i’ve seen so many players like him throughout the years it’s just a team just sort of decides without the player allowing them to change their mind uh that this guy’s only good enough for this kind of a role on the team he could never actually outperform whatever our expectations are and he shouldn’t be rewarded for it sometimes it works out i don’t think the orioles thought anthony santandere was going to turn into the player that he turned into but uh anyway we’re in the top of the fourth first pitch is fouled away by glabber torres zack efflin has only thrown 33 pitches through the first three innings that’s 11 per inning here’s a soft one hopper to third aras throws on the run out number one and again folks this lineup tonight it’s not just the bats that i feel is the strongest it’s the defense as well you got an outfield defense with lauriano mullins and cowser i can tell you right now without having to look at every team’s roster that that has got to be a top five defensive outfield in baseball because all three of those guys can get it and other than mullins you got a couple of strong arms out there too uh and then you look at the infield right now obviously gunner uh is sort of flighty but o’harn is i think you know a serviceable first baseman i’d like to see him there more than in right field holiday is definitely improved and uh westber to me uh when he’s in the field pretty solid and of course raone gold glove award winner good defense guys i could totally fix this team with one off season i swear to god i could you give me like four moves you give me four moves and i fix this team one starter one bullpin guy i’m bringing in uh probably another utility player that could be what matteo would be but better and then uh let me think about that fourth move but that’s it i need four moves and i can turn this team okay the fourth move i go get bruce bochi manage the team swinging a miss on a two- two pitch to carrie carpenter folks i know i’m not calling it pitch by pitch so far tonight again my mind is a little bit uh it’s a little bit off i’m trying to focus but got some deep thoughts hanging over my head today and so far uh my sort of lacadasical approach to calling the game and what have you has led to good results the orioles have a two nothing lead on the tigers right now and zack effin’s looking at another one two three inning if he can get riley green right here oh the of course the fourth move trevor bower becomes mr splash that’s the fourth move [Laughter] hey if trevor is willing to come back on a minimum contract i’m willing to pay trevor bower $750,000 to wear a plastic duck floaty device around his waist and just jump around the uh left field area like a jackass so that he can be back in baseball again come on back to us there trevor [Laughter] there you go here’s a hose here’s some flippers and a snorkel go to town buddy [Laughter] trevor power and umpire you know what i think he would fit in perfect i like that idea ben stein could do the playbyplay in the lounge one count on torqulson two down fouled away do you have dry eyes a stigmatism clear eyes what one- one pitch is fouled away by spencer torqulson one and two the count don’t worry folks this uh hangout this this background it’s only for tonight again it’s just it’s a it’s a joke night i just feel like we had to do something stupid to to fix the vibes right now zack efflin just got a strike out folks he’s off to a great start [Music] uh well y’all come back now you hear bottom of the fourth coming up two nothing baltimore it’s never over folks it’s never over it’s a big one what over did you say over nothing is over until we decide it is was it over when the germans bombed pearl harbor hell no it ain’t over now cuz when the going gets tough the tough get going who’s with me let’s go oh hey high priest how you doing hey welcome to the uh brand new swanky hangout i’m in the vip lounge of the brand new camden yards uh instagram influencer uh seating area that’s right wait is that hawk tua girl over there folks i do believe that’s i believe that’s hawkua girl right there getting uh crab cake from the buffet line i mean folks we got all the celebs in here nothing but uh the best and brightest that modern american pop culture has to offer folks who needs brian wilson we’ve got hawk to a girl it is the bottom of the fourth first pitch is a called strike to jordan westber folks westber west is that way has already gotten a hit tonight a two bagger leading it off here in the bottom of the fourth against casey mai one-1 pitch off the plate two and one on westy a little bit low we got a 3-1 count on a good hitter [Music] fouled straight back westber got one to hit a sinker right down the middle i mean that is on a t but he can only foul it away it’s three and two now hey melanie newman is voicing in this one’s fouled back still a full count on westber [Music] another payoff hit on the ground foul third base side westber with a long ab going here leading off the fourth [Music] tell you what westber just might be the right right-handed bat to be putting into the heart of the order like he’s hitting tonight up and in ball four hey look at that i’m walking here i’m walking here professional at bat from jordan westber good to see he i got to tell you before he got injured he really was struggling uh you don’t want to say maybe the injury did him good because you don’t want this guy out of the team for very long but again folks your boys always looking for silver linings and all i can say is westberg is looking like prime westber right now after coming back from that injury here is the milkman folks let’s get those cows up [Music] ground ball base hit into right field a worm burner westber can go first to third there’s nobody out and we’ve got a rally cooking [Music] splish splash i was taking a b i tell you what when the lineup’s healthy and there aren’t many holes there’s no breaks for the opposing pitcher here’s lauriano come on buddy get one in at least top of the zone called a strike raone just threw a rock at me lauriano 0 for one first and third nobody out westber the runner at third cowser at first decent speed well westber’s decent cowser’s above average we got some speed out there too folks hey here’s an interesting fact did you know that the orioles average the weight of the average player on their team is the highest in all of baseball we got the chunkiest team in baseball swinging a miss and lauriano goes down quickly and quietly not a good ab for lauriano it’s going to be up to mullins to get something here before we start worrying got to start getting chunky and still yeah plenty of speed on the team cuz they all eat at boogs yeah the average weight and i think was 219 lbs which by the way bw is clocking in at 223 and i’m 6’2 and a half i basically am built like the average orioles baseball player except ner a muscle to be found ner there i go bringing that word back all right said mullins folks we need something first pitch is a strike next pitch fouled away it’s 0 and2 come on ah i didn’t do much there be mento uh it’s sitting right here it’s waiting to get lit 0 and2 on mullins we need contact pitch he lays off one and two mullins’s probably better than anybody else on the team when it comes to battling back after falling behind 0 and2 i’ve seen him take an 02 count and turn it into an eight pitch at bat many times this season the one two check swing did he lay off no he did not and mullins is retired two down runners at the corners nobody out and now there’s two down what are we doing come on ori we need you to do it again raone’s already got a two-run bomb now he’s up a two down and he needs to be the hero i have a brother please don’t waste this opportunity i have a brother janet everybody knows that can i brag about my decent height weight ratio knowing the fact that it’s just fat that’s keeping me down in the weight department there’s zero muscle why why why do you have to rub that in i get it check on the runner at first hower’s back in yeah i get it i’m a gelatinous mess i’m shaped like whatever container you’d pour me in i get it two and0 on aras and on the ground right to third base and the inning is over jesus christ [Music] stop it all [Music] sorry charm city chat sorry i apologize for baltimore i apologize for baltimore i’m starting to adjust i’ve gotten really into running 10ks i garden now and i even bought season tickets for the orioles since that’s what guys who can’t satisfy women do what what this is rare but i got myself a chocolate banana muffin i know these are really bad muffins have got to be the biggest like trying to pretend like it’s especially if you know you get like an oat brand muffin or something like here’s a nice uh alternative option instead of all those fatty no muffins are the are the worst especially these like these like uh preservative uh prepackaged non fresh from the bakery muffins oh now we’re on a talking about muffin tops kyle ripken and john harbaugh sitting next to each other in the front row rutman might have a play he leans into the netting but it’s out of reach right next to cal and harbaugh speak of the devils cal cal leaned out of the way of that ball like he was just some regular fan who didn’t want to get hit cal what are you doing buddy get up and grab that ball and we can give you a contract 0 and2 the count on windal perez swing and a miss swing and a miss [Music] well y’all come back now you hear sorry folks i’m parking this muffin as quickly as possible sorry if you’re hearing like muffin chewing if you guys can hear me eating muff i apologize believe me i had to apologize to my roommates for the same thing a a lot growing up my 20s and here’s a ball hit out to left field cowser with the catch two down all right bw eats another muff two down nobody on top of the fifth jake rogers swinging a miss on the first pitch oh top of the muffin to you well wasn’t it uh wasn’t it elaine that was obsessed with eating only the muffin tops or or was it jerry i mean i agree the muffin top is the best part of the muffin ground ball to aras over to first in time rogers retired another smooth inning for zack efflin he is cruising folks five innings of one hit ball we go to the bottom of the fifth the orioles lead at two to nothing cal ripken sitting in on the ball game a lot of ripkins coming up tonight uh folks i’m going to open up the back door it’s not a euphemism and uh i’ll be right back so don’t you go anywhere folks we lost a hero we lost the legend rest in peace brian wilson every time i’d wake up and i’d turn on the beach boys it was always instantly a very very good [Music] good morning [Music] [Applause] come on folks pretend like it’s 2006 and download that as your newest ringtone you know you love it my roommate had to tell me my overnight guest was his co-workers’s end didn’t know wait a minute i’m confused oh you mean x i think you mean x where you typed end i think i figured out by the way jackson holidayidays made a quick out here to begin the bottom of the fifth i was looking away trying to figure out what patrick was talking about so his co-workers x i think is what you meant to say oh oh oh and now i see the correction with the asterisk sorry i suck rutman’s at the plate one out takes up and away for ball one let the clutch out gently okay adley’s 0 for two casey m is up to 70 pitches went out in the fifth you know i’ve been called the stump a time or two in my life oh you better jinx it boys here comes the stump here’s a fly ball foul off to the left one and two the count okay fellas let’s get with the program all right look we got a job to do you guys are sitting around like a bunch of kids on the playground here’s a base hit into right field for rutman a one out single line drive he’s on and we got some big bats coming up you guys are here to do a job the less you know about each other the better so i’m going to assign you a bunch of aliases you’re mr white you’re mr blonde you’re mr orange you’ll miss the blue here’s a line here’s a ball hitting the right center for gunner that’s a base hit adley stops at second backto back singles from gunnar and adley that’s the maybe third time in a week where uh they’ve gotten on together backto back of course they hit backtoback home runs what was that in seattle nice to see these two linking up all right two on with one out for ryan o’harn folks lights on let’s turn and burn oh he went after a bad pitch low and in i got to tell you o’harn just in recent games has looked a little bit off he’s 0 for two so far tonight he’s due for a hit that ball’s lifted to left center but it’s going to be playable and not even a tag for rutman so o’harn makes another out he’s 0 for three don’t go into a funk now ryan we got all these other guys back if you keep doing what you’ve been doing this offense will be unstoppable two down here’s westber doubled and walked he’s got a rbi spot here two men on base with two down well west is that way bakes off the plate outside for ball one i guess i’ll bring this back up i i got to realize with my little practical joke setup tonight that for any potential new viewers to the channel it isn’t probably the best look no information on the screen and a guy sitting in a glorified cafeteria probably doesn’t make much sense one and one the count on westber folks that ball is in there for a strike two strikes two down two men on base the orioles trying to add on to this two nothing lead looking for that clutch two out hit westber lays off a pitch low two and two bugle time [Music] let’s hear it charm city chat we’re looking to add on to this lead two on two out and a two- two pitch to westber hit on the ground foul we’ll do it again come on one more time [Music] well done another 22 to westy laid off that pitch way outside and low full count [Music] runners will be moving on the pitch come on jordan come on buddy mai steps off the rubber he’s up to 82 pitches and colton cowser waiting on deck if westber can continue this inning all right here we go the 32 to westber on the fists and fouled away westber hanging in there [Music] all right with these cutaway shots to all these dogs the payoff called strike three westber was hoping that ball would drop down or away it just stayed on the outside corner at the knees and he is rung up looking the orioles have left now six men on base ah six men left on base through the first five innings we go to the sixth still two nothing orioles how long can we get away with a two-run lead how long can we keep a tiger team shut out zack efflin’s doing everything he can one hit and a walk through five innings we got to give him a little more support seven hits for baltimore scattered scattered where’s the big hit we need it runners left in scoring position with two out aras’s left one o’harn’s left two and westber’s left one i’ll love i’ll take a shut out i will take that to the bank uh back in a moment first pitch line drive right to third caught by ramona reas zack mckenstry lines out leading off the top of the sixth efflin continues to rack up the outs a one pitch out here here’s meadows back to the top of the order he looks at a first pitch strike just 59 pitches for efflin this ball’s fouled back it’s 0 and2 meadows has already struck out once tonight he’s also grounded out that pitch up and away top of the order with one out there’s a check swing on a pitch in the dirt and meadows went well y’all come back now you hear yeah i’m looking good here in the vip section here joel don’t i i mean this is exactly what you want when you want to go to a ball game you want to sit way the hell back in a room where through a window you can kind of see the game but if your back is turned uh while you’re eating a sandwich you’re not really watching anything here are you yeah they could at least put a jacuzzi in here somewhere here is glaver torres after a one-0 count he efflin evens it up with a strike one ball one strike on who’s 0 for two lays off one low two and one all right everybody getting on camera with their dogs we get it two one pitch is a call strike by the way folks i love dogs i love dogs here in thailand we got street dogs wild dogs i’m friends with some and there’s others i keep a 30foot distance from at all times here’s a line drive base hit into right field torres is on with a two out single just the second hit given up by effin and uh even though there’s two outs and ein’s been cruising for the most part here can’t uh can’t take this situation lightly got carpenter up and green on deck two lefty batters that can do damage and carpenter first pitch is high for ball one continental breakfast i want more than that look for what i’m paying i want melanie newman on a table with sushi on top for what i’m paying [Laughter] why do i have to keep throwing melanie newman under the bus um melanie if for some bizarre reason any of this ever gets back to you look you’re fine whatever just you know it’s been a bad year we need we need a punching bag somewhere here’s a ground ball to second holiday will go to first and the inning is over another solid inning effin did give up just his second hit but that’s it we go to the bottom of the sixth more dogs all right oh my goodness how much levens are going to be left around the grounds of oral park by the time this game’s over oh that’s the super vip h you mean to tell me for what i’m paying i’m not getting what come on look at what i got here hey send over another um bowl of pretzels over here will you i’m paying top dollar where are my pretzels and i want the rolled gold don’t get me in any of that snider’s nonsense all right of course the way i’m sitting you can’t see the friends that are right here in front of me that are facing outward i’m surrounded by many of many friends we’re out here anybody buying this which guy is that charles just so we’re all clear i don’t want anybody to be guessing wrong which guy’s an idiot one of the umpires right i mean don’t leave us all in in the dark on this so which guy looks like we’ll never know first pitch swinging here in the bottom of the six foul ball from cowser off to the right folks get those cows up in the chat [Music] what are we implying charles i’m sorry i didn’t know i needed clubhouse access to uh call a ball game uh this pitch is called a strike looked a little bit low to cowser count is now 0 and2 what’s on your mind charles content not good enough for you h it’s too bad it’s the only option you have it’s too bad there aren’t about 850,000 other youtube channels to go to for free content it’s best to just stick around with one you don’t like and complain about it it makes sense all right one away lauraniano up and he fouls off the first pitch to the left ramon 0o for two tough night a strikeout and a double play line out tigers have a lefty up in the bullpen 01 pitch is a little bit low and i’ve been to uncle nutsy’s clubhouse so i do have experience that ball’s lying base hit over the glove of the shortstop lauriano serves it into left center field for a one out single let’s see if the orioles can put a rally together and get the big hit come on and that’s gonna get mai out of the ball game folks holton the lefty getting loose is coming on right now for the tigers tyler holton with said mullins the lefty do up next all right folks hey by the way folks don’t forget to hit the like button especially if you’re named charles green because i know you love what i’m doing and uh think about subscribing if you haven’t done so already subscribing folks it’s no big whoop uh there’s no commitment no obligation and no salesman will visit your home you’re just making it easier on you and for others to find the bird watcher channel and uh yeah no big whoop do what you feel 74 likes at the moment we got about 100 people here we can we can get those likes close to 100 got to tell you the views tonight are down i think after that series loss in sacramento and then another loss last night has got a lot of people just not wanting to watch the orioles right now hard for me to blame them but uh what can i tell you i want to watch every game i don’t want to miss anything like my boy jordan westber here well thank you sir much appreciated all right we’re one out in the bottom of the sixth pitching change for the tigers tyler holton a left-hander on with said mullins at the plate you know what to do mullins first pitch swinging and lines it right at the right fielder for the second out mullins that ball is hit 104 off the bat and has nothing to show for it oh it’s so frustrating folks we’ve had a couple of hard hit balls tonight to go right at somebody here is ramon aras two down he goes after the first pitch this ball’s hitting the right and that ball’s going to drop and the right fielder has it get past him mullen uh the lead runner will go to third aras can’t get an extra base but windal perez with a misplay he may wind up getting away with no error if they assume the lead runner would have gotten a third regardless it certainly was error worthy the orioles trying to do something again with two down boy didn’t we do this a lot last night finally putting a rally together with two down but didn’t couldn’t get the big hit well it’s up to jackson holiday right now and he takes a first pitch a sweeper in there for a strike [Music] the orioles tonight with runner runners in scoring position are one for 11 swinging a miss and it’s 0 and2 so if holiday doesn’t come through here that makes us one for 12 meanwhile the tigers have not had a runner in scoring position and yet uh one inning with just a walk and a home run or something and this game is tied up that pitch is off the plate low and away catcher pops up faking a throw oh did the runners move up a base each was that a double steel oh aria stole second okay i got you aria stole second and the catcher rather than trying to throw him out thought better about it and it doesn’t matter as jackson holiday stares at strike three at the bottom of the zone to win the inning the orioles have now left eight men on base through the first six innings frustrating as hell one for 12 with runners in scoring position eight men left on if you want to know how to feel frustrated about a game that you’re winning against the team with the best record in baseball well that’s the script that’s how that’s how you take a game you’re winning and shutting down the team with the best record in baseball through six that’s how you make it not feel as good as it should one for 12 runners in scoring position it is 88 degrees oh it is i bet you it’s humid too is it humid in baltimore you folks out there in charm city you guys got a lot of humidity out there right now plus 88 degrees at night very oh god so it’s worse folks if you think thailand if you think the if you think the uh weather out here might be a little bit too much to handle with the um heat and uh possible humidity it don’t get that bad ouch you can swim in the air gh i hate that i days like that folks i don’t leave the i don’t leave the apartment or wherever i am well i don’t know janet you know i mean i i’m asking if it is assuming that it is i’m just trying to confirm because i’ve lived there i know in a given 100 day stretch between june july august or whatever you’re going to get a few days in there where it’s you get a little bit of a break all right i mean i know you’re joking you’re missing baltimore a little here’s uh first batter of the top of the seventh riley green effin still out there first pitch was a ball second pitch was a strike taken and the 1-1 is taken again it’s called a strike one and two on a fast ball outside corner that pitch is low and in two and two the count folks if you ever want to go place someplace even more humid and just difficult to just breathe this pitch has popped up shallow right long long long run in for lauriano who finally makes the catch one down folks there is a challenger and i do believe it is like just the worst place in the continental united states for like humidity and just thick air unbreathable bufort south carolina i got to tell you folks i nearly had a medical emergency out there it was so bad keegan akens getting loose in the pin it’s an 01 count right now on spencer torqulson and that’s a called strike two knee high on the inside corner zack efflin his command tonight has been fantastic basically throwing it where he wants when he wants the o2 in on the hands popped up long run out and gunner unable to make a diving catch running away from the infield it’ll drop in for a hit gunner gave it his all would have been a ridiculous catch had he made it and that ball just out of reach he tried to barehand it wow he tried to make a bare-handed catch that would have been something oneon one out top of the seventh windal perez takes a called strike at the top of the zone i want to know what happened to my friend what happened to my friend charles i’m an idiot and i’ve never been in a clubhouse so why am i doing what i’m doing charles come back 0 and2 the count on perez swung on fouled at the plate we’ll do it again i love how he subscribed just to have the ability to chat just to be able to tell me that i’m the idiot it’s like dude the second you turn onto a channel and it’s something you don’t like why wouldn’t he just turn the channel well i got to subscribe i got to wait a minute for it to allow me to talk the guy waited i got to wait just what are you doing oh you want the scoreboard again sorry i’m staring at the yahoo page right now i don’t even have my uh my studio up to see what’s up okay sorry i just felt like you guys really enjoyed the view all right cole keith at the plate two on one out rutman has a chat with elyn i think this is the first uh inning tonight where ephin has allowed two base runners so the tying runs are on for detroit colt keith 0 for two at the plate one out first pitch is low the 10 oh gosh to right field that one’s crushed it’s off the top of the scoreboard it’s played well out there by lauraniano he fires it back in but a run will score it’s second and third with only one out and it’s now a two to one ball game tigers have the tying run 90 feet away with less than two down and all you can do is sit here and think about that one for 12 with runners in scoring position tonight for the orioles elyn’s on 84 pitches the good news is jake rogers is due up he’s looked terrible at the plate and he’s had a terrible year at the oh they’re going to bring up dingler son of a man these tigers they love to make the right moves rogers the catcher makes way for dingler a giant upgrade because this spot is a big spot we had a spot similar like this when matteo was in the starting lineup gunner henderson given the night off it was game one in sacramento that we wound up losing it was around this part of the ball game i’m like i know it’s early but i feel like you got to just pinch hit gunnar now because you got second and third it’s a one-run game same situation tigers are doing it tigers understand when to bring in their starter when it’s a big uh moment and this is the catcher position where normally you don’t see it that often as much as a another position meanwhile zack efflin after a mound visit is going to stay in the ball game 84 pitches tell you this if i were calling tiger games i get a i got a feeling you wouldn’t hear me uh be as critical about some of the decision making that goes on in a ball game i got to put my feet up i got to lean back here pitch swing and a miss dingler on a sweeper from efflin breaking low and away second and third one out infield up and on the ground right to the third baseman we got a play at the plate you are out sir go sit down the orioles bring the infield in aras cleanly fields a ball hit his way fires it home perfectly executed to get the second out of the inning and keep the lead oh we needed that besides that it’s on the reflexes perfectly executed by aras perfect throw there’s you don’t have a clear throwing lane with that runner going down the line and we got a really nice angle that showed how aras made a perfect throw zack efflin is departing to a standing ovation he goes six and two3 innings of oneun ball against the best team in baseball what more could he do egan aken is coming on folks caught to the bullpen the lefty mckenstry is due up another lefty meadows at the top of the order so backto back lefties then you got glaver torres a righty and then two more lefties carpenter and riley green so four out of five lefties hence the move to aken how’s everybody doing i’m still kind of in shock over the news of the loss of brian wilson i mean you know 82 years old’s a pretty good run folks so it’s not so much the shock of oh lost him too young honestly with the life he was uh uh living and and the mental health issues that uh he had to deal with for decades and decades uh i would say 82 was a pretty damn good run i just hope things for him went peacefully i don’t think anybody deserves to go peacefully more than a guy like brian wilson those tunes will never go away all right aken is on first pitch is swung on a miss jamai jones is on to pinch hit as the red sox or the red sox the tigers once again just going with counter moves and jones 01 swinging fouls it straight back it’s 0 and2 this is the 30th appearance for aken he’s got a sub3 erra it’s looking like another just consistent and somewhat underappreciated season for this lefty 02 pitch a bit inside one and two on jones pitch swing and a miss aken comes in the tigers pinch hit a right-hander it don’t matter right well y’all come back now you hear folks ain’t no mistaking ain’t no faking when you need to bring home the bacon you’re calling on keegan aken folks it’s bacon no it’s achen it’s bacon damn it i said achen oh boy oh boy oh shut up just shut up oh boy oh boy i would love to have been in the recording studio for whatever voice actor laid down that began strips uh dog character voice just watching the actual facial expressions he would have been making while going oh boy oh boy it must have been a treat i did have a a gig for a little while in my 20s recording audio for a voice over work at a at a production house in dc uh it wasn’t never it was never nothing was ever that fun pretty boring dc stuff how much was the haircut today who me i haven’t been to a barber now in like a month and a half i have absolutely let it all go folks my face looks like the garden of the castle of edward scissor hands like after he doesn’t take care of it for a while all right folks here we go oh my god i forgot this whole time we’ve missed it we got to sneak it in right now folks get them on the chat throw some cakes on the griddle we are going into the seventh inning stretch into the bottom of the seventh don’t you forget it adley rutman is at the plate to lead it off and he’s got a 2-1 count dylan dingler stays in the game trey sweeney comes in to play shortstop mckinstry out of the game here’s a line drive by rutman in the left that ball is going to bounce down fair into the left field corner rutman is aboard with a leadoff double splash it up taking a bath all right folks [Music] the hat wants a big inning come on we need to tie this series up gunner at the plate blowing away ball one tigers scored in the top half of the inning to make it a one-run game the orioles looking to get that run back hopefully more the 10 out oh that’s outside blue why don’t you wake up and smell what you shoveling why don’t you wake up and smell what you shoveling so again one for 12 on the night this is another atbat with a runner in scoring position what do we do the 1-1 that one’s lifted in the air and down for a base hit over the infield rutman is motoring home we get a hit with runner in scoring position it’s 3 to one baltimore and it’s gunner and adley combining again [Music] [Music] three to one orioles in the bottom of the seventh ryan o’harn at the plate lights on let’s turn and burn and he is with an 01 count line drive right to second base this could be two and it is o’harn is struggling what happened ryan double play ball ends the inning or no double play ball clears the bases i should say with two down i know hearn slams his helmet down in frustration might be time to give ryan a day off i have noticed i didn’t want to say anything too soon because how do you sit there and criticize the guy who’s easily been the most consistent hitter on the team all season but that’s why it’s so easy to recognize it when you see it ryan o’harn i’d say about three or four games now i guess coming out of that seattle series uh hasn’t looked the same hasn’t quite looked the same and with scooble on the mound tomorrow i would also argue that one less le i mean if o’harn’s already struggling and then you’re going to put him in there against the best lefty in baseball tomorrow that’s not going to help his i would definitely give o’harn the day off tomorrow mayo can play first base anybody can dh whatever i’m giving o’harn the day off tomorrow and hey you know what that does let’s say somehow the orioles hang in there with scooble and you get into the late innings he finally comes out they bring in a righty you got o’harn on the bench as your big lefty pinch hitting weapon and you got to think if you’re going to beat a scooball team it’s going to be a close game so yeah i’ve just convinced myself for every reason in the world to give ryan a horn a day off tomorrow bw manager of the year hey folks we got over 100 people here and we have enough to get the likes over a hundred uh we are getting late into the ball game so i’d really appreciate it for those that haven’t done it yet to just take a second of their time and tap that thumbs up at the bottom of your screen uh getting to a 100 likes here on a every game basis is kind of how we like to do things here hopefully the charm city chat will say something to back me up on that i really need this chat to get my back sometimes when i’m trying to promote the channel i already know the people out there that don’t like me the ones that do can you help me out here from time to time maybe convince some new people out there that hey this is a pretty good place to watch uh along with the orioles jordan westber’s got a 1-1 count leading off the excuse me not leading off two down two down in the seventh as the tigers have made a pitching change a right-hander uh hannipe swing and a miss boy westber absolutely fooled on that pitch hannify comes into the game strikes out westber super quick to end the inning we go on to the eighth the orioles do get that run back to give our ourselves a two-run cushion two innings left to play tigers have the top of the order coming up we go to the eighth three to one baltimore there you go see guys you see how it helps because here’s the deal it’s just like people are saying “well bwb you know you can go over here and promote your channel on this platform or you can go over here.” guys there’s only so much self-promotion i can do because to people who don’t know me or haven’t given my channel a chance they’re going to see me as some desperate content creator person just uh what do you call it uh uh spamming whatever platform with you know like like an advertisement for their own channel i can’t do it you guys have to do it it would really help if you guys hang out on social media if you or if you’re on baseball threads and whatever look i’m not saying do it every day but uh you know you know get a clip from a game drop a link in there do whatever you want to do but that’s how this uh community is going to grow folks i’m uh you know i’m trying everything i can over here on my end all right could you not hold the dog in that way i don’t need to see this isn’t the westminster sh dog shell i don’t need to check i don’t need to check its twig and berries put that dog down all right those two are obviously on a date uh nobody’s on my twitter slater so tweeting my stream out doesn’t really do anything i don’t like to be on twitter anymore i only go there to get lineups and updates from beat writers for the orioles couple of other things that’s it everything else about that platform is garbage not healthy for anybody hang in there folks i got to refresh the game okay 0 and2 the count on meadows brian baker is on as the setup man for bautista top of the order here for the tigers 0 and2 the count on meadows check swing and he went around sit down well y’all come back now you hear brian baker comes in three pitches good morning good afternoon and good night one away in the eighth here’s glabber torres and the first pitch to him is off the plate 1 and0 do you follow me on twitter slater just curious let’s call it a strike one and two on torres excuse me one and one i’m being too hopeful all right now make a one and two after a wellplaced slider on the outside edge there’s still some glimpses of the daylight hour in the skyline here in baltimore and here we are in the eighth inning of the ball game brown ball to aras across the diamond in time two down four more outs to get and the orioles can even up the series against the best record in baseball tigers setting up a rubber game against a guy that’s probably going to win another sai young award again scooble hey chilo look at that message for you son there’s a first pitch strike to carrie carpenter he’s 0 for three message for you son folks some generosity in the charm city chat it’s been a minute chilo gifting five bird watcher memberships ground ball to first flip to the pitcher covering and baker stomps first base with authority if you’re watching along brian baker just curb stomped first base and he is very happy with himself folks we are going to the bottom of the eighth the orioles lead at three to one the mountain probably going to get loose and come out for the ninth orioles have a chance to add on before though but yeah chilo well done and i want to thank you very much for that i really do we got joy boy brett riley bc quinton speed and saurin we know saurin all getting free memberships and some fresh binoculars nice binoculars nice binoculars nice binoculars oh yeah i got to see how my boy manny machado did tonight hold on a sec folks i’m going into the padres’s box score because i was told earlier on another uh content creator’s channel that uh i should bet i should gamble that manny machado is going to have at least over one and a half hits today for the padres’s and that uh i’ve basically have nothing to lose with this bet this is like a can’tmiss bet folks so i got to check the box score right now and see what’s going on with the padres’s game uh it’s taking me forever to find it for some reason is the game oh the game is final all right going in on the box score machado went 0 for four oh no gee ain’t that something machado goes 0 for four colton cowser’s at the plate folks first pitch is a strike and the next one looked like it hit the top of the zone it is a strike it’s 0 and2 on the milkman folks get those cows up quickly cuz he’s already in an 02 hole [Music] that pitch is in the dirt one and two [Music] wow folks i was i was under the impression that it was a can’t miss bet and you know it’s always good to have content creators uh encouraging you to bet on things i mean there’s absolutely nothing ethically wrong with that whatsoever am i right so i mean right one and two on cowser pitch outside count even up at two and two to all those who supported us we did it baby we did it pop the champagne we are back in the wind column at the ryan ripken show cheers everyone you’ve been so good to me you know you make me want to shout how about that shout and then tonight we’re going old not really old reliable old friend starts at 410 so get your bets in uh manny machado over one and a half hits runs rbi’s here we go here we go let’s go two for two this week back in the wing column momentum’s going the wheels back guys here we go here we go let’s go two for two this week one and a half manny machado over one and a half hits runs rbi’s uh manny machado over one and a half hits runs rbis uh manny machado over one and a half hits runs rbi’s and then how do you end that wheels back what could go wrong what what could go wrong what could go wrong folks gamble i mean it’s a can’t miss machado two hits two hits full count on colton cowser leading off the bottom of the eighth that pitch is a called strike three up and in in the zone cowser has words with the ump but that pitch did look in the zone folks we have a super chat from matt buddy pal friend message for you son folks hit the like button on matt’s super chat very simple message he just says “thanks bw.” well i don’t want to ride your coattails but thanks matt uh coming right back at you here’s raone lauraniano first pitch is a strike next one is inside it’s one and one on him one out nobody on in the bottom of the eighth the orioles up three to one one like away from 100 folks and if we hit our goal don’t worry i’m not going to encourage you to go bet money on something as if i have some sort of helpful knowledge to help you win money two-1 pitch is off the plate it’s three and one that’s right bw gloves are off let’s see what happens now i’m only up against goliath this ball’s hit up the middle a base hit for lauriano his second hit of the night lauraniano making a case game after game that he belongs in there as an everyday player uh tyler o’neal i’m sorry buddy but we’ll find you some at bats when we can but uh right now lauraniano has eclipsed you on the depth chart in my humble view that is the deal yeah what yeah should have gone folks bw here of course this can be clipped out of context so this could completely backfire right folks i got to tell you we are celebrating over here at the bird watcher channel and what better way to celebrate than to encourage you to go out right now and put a bet that hey ramon lauraniano is going to get over one and a half hits tonight put it in the in the books signed sealed and delivered nothing unethical about this at all just go on out there and bet by the way we don’t have any betting sponsors on our channel or anything there’s nothing there’s no conflict of interest here or anything kind of gross going on with all of this right right mullins drills one to right center field that ball’s going back and it’s off the wall hitting third and now coming home the relay throw is dropped lauraniano scores standing and the orioles have taken the 4 to one lead folks we’ve got insurance mullins knew what to do magic you know [Music] folks [Music] as a side note i know i’m a small channel i know i may never grow to be the size of anything to brag about but i can promise you this no matter what happens i’m not taking any betting sponsors and i’m not letting any uh betting stuff uh influence what i do for this channel this channel is for oral fans and uh i’m not trying to you know encourage certain activities that i think should just be left up to people to decide for themselves whether or not they want to participate in that sort of activity because that sort of activity can lead to this thing called an addiction and to promote that sort of thing in order to generate revenue for your channel i think is kind of gross especially considering the plentiful resources that you have at your disposal over there folks plentiful resources do you really need the betting money do you need it i don’t think that you do but you’re taking it you’re encouraging it and i don’t think it’s right but who am i to talk about it i’m just a nobody my dad’s not in the hall of fame or owner of the team i got nothing and by talking the way i am right now it just might get my channel curb stomped because how can i compete in any sort of head-to-head situation look i want all oral content channels to you know be seen and and be available but uh i do have a problem with the whole betting angle i think it’s pretty gross but uh that’s just me folks sorry for the commentary we’re in commercial break i probably lost a couple of more subs tonight but uh yeah that’s how it goes i guess i lose a guy like brian wilson it just reminds me you got to be real you got to stick with uh you know what you feel is right go with what your heart says is right i’m not trying to start any beef because i know they don’t care enough about me for there to be beef but uh i needed to just get that off my chest folks jackson holidayiday’s doo up bo briski on for the tigers to pitch and holiday goes after the first pitch fouls it off the orioles in the bottom of the eighth have a runner at third and two down a run is already across and the 01 is low and away one ball one strike on holiday [Music] one ball one strike pitch is swung on and missed holiday swung over a change up gregory sodto the lefty getting loose next to bautista in case the orioles perhaps add on right now it’s a safe situation any additional runs oh that ball is going to go to the back stop we’re going to score another on a wild pitch mullins slides in safely without a throw it is five to one baltimore and the orioles look poised to level up this series against the tigers oh it’s mag [Music] two and two on holiday the pitch low full count thanks again to matt for the super chat payoff pitch hit up the middle off the glove of the pitcher there will be no play holiday can walk to first as glabber walks over to the baseball to pick it up infield hit for jackson this inning is not over two down runner at first rutman do up next he’s already got a two hit night oh if only we had cashed in some of these opportunities earlier folks this would have been a blowout win a blowout one oh sorry i thought it was on this screen over here here we go sorry folks i get confused hanging out in the new uh vip lounge i’m still learning my way around here garson garson can i get a pbr over here the 10 to rutman just off the plate 2 and 0 and it looks like sodto is actively throwing while bautista looks like he’s just standing around wondering whether or not they’re going to call on him 20 to adley there goes the runner holiday and the ball gets away into the outfield once again jackson jackson where you need to be looking when you steal a bag is into the outfield to see if the ball went there that’s the second time he’s stolen the base in the last couple of games where had he immediately recognized the ball getting away he might have gotten an extra base out of it it’s three and0 on adley now and that’s ball four wow not even close take your base adley rutman [Music] i’m walking here i’m walking here the holiday with the steel [Music] jackson holiday on bark at the park nights is hit is a six for 14 at the plate i cannot believe they have this statistic gunner takes a pitch in the dirt folks [Music] we got jackson and adley on gunner at the plate his name’s gunnar and he’s dating my mom a 10 count [ __ ] upstairs 2 and 0 let’s blow this game open [Music] the two swung on and fouled back behind the plate hey saurin how you feeling uh with that uh free membership somebody being very nice to you got your binoculars on two-1 pitch it’s low three and one [Music] that’s right saurin dig into those emojis might want to use some of those splash zone emojis pitch outside ball four load them up i’m walking here i’m walking here two down base is loaded the orioles looking to blow it open [Music] he’s been in a funk 0 for four tonight but he’s still got an average well over 300 o’harn coming up 305 right now he is due though flights on let’s turn and burn two down base is loaded ryan o’harn with a chance to clean up with a lot of rbi’s you want one you want two you want three or you want four up to you mr o’harn brisk is ready to go the pitch is low for ball one folks [Music] the 10 swing and a miss a change up o’harn out in front oh if that was a fast ball we might be looking at a salami instead the count is one and one pitch swinging a miss another change up this time it dipped below the zone to make it even tougher and o’harn is now on two strikes the one two pitch that ball’s hit into center field it’s a base hit one run is in here comes another it’s a two-run single and ryan o’harn is already out of the funk and the orioles have blown it open we’ve got a touchdown it’s 7 to1 come on pop open that champagne [Music] westber takes inside ball one folks the orioles lineup can show what is possible when they’re healthy and when they get that monkey off their back westber going for the corner and that ball’s going to sneak out of here by by birdie westber finds the left field corner it just got out of here his sixth of the season and the orioles have gotten 10 runs on the tigers 10 to one celebrate oh this register is almost empty it’s magic [Music] jordan westber he’s back and he’s better than ever cows are at the plate he’s behind 0 and2 10 to one baltimore on 16 hits they have finally opened the floodgates a seventh spot in the bottom of the eighth off of boiski who came into this ball game with some very outstanding numbers he has now been humiliated that ball’s hit to briski he will throw to first in time to win the inning we go to the ninth three outs and a nineun lead sit the mountain i repeat sit the mountain i hope they got scott blew it up really quick let’s get blew it out here for an inning we go to the ninth the orioles lead it 10 to one holy cow folks how you feeling out there baltimore you are seeing history being made today oh boy is this great we’re on a mission from god yes we are this is great ice tea yes it is [Music] i’m up to [Music] you never heard of baltimore style this being baltimore and all that’s right folks who saw this game after a game like this hey everybody we’re all going to get laid [Applause] seven runs an rbi double from mullins mullins scored on a wild pitch o’harn with a two-run single and then a threerun bomb from westber down the left field corner and boom seven runs after what a response what a response after going one for 12 with runners in scoring position before that inning what a response carry this on over till tomorrow going up against scooble you know what folks i it’s such a like what the hell do we have to lose who the hell expects us to have a chance to win tomorrow which is just why you say “what the hell why not why not?” good defense good pitching timely hitting let’s go here’s riley green to lead it off for the tigers and it is sodto on the mound first pitch is up and in for ball one now the only reason why i was hoping that they would warm up a guy like blue it right now there’s a called strike one and oneonone is because you already use keegan aken tonight and now sodto is your only other lefty you’re using both of them tonight still got a game to play tomorrow you want to have at least one of those two guys available this ball’s hit to second base holiday throws to first in time one down well if sodto can get a quick three outs then uh he should be available tomorrow regardless he’s gotten the first out on three pitches and john perfectly timed letting me know that keegan only had to throw five so there you go no problemmo keegan definitely can go tomorrow and maybe even sodto if needed if uh again he throws a clean inning here 0 and one the count on torqulson folks he’s one for three pitch top of the zone called a strike nice location there throwing two folks after a win like this we might have to keep this background until further notice and i might have to start a new shirt run as well looks like bw is getting back into his superstitious habits check swing he went yes he did sit down oh doctor three economical indeed a strikeout two down on six pitches one out to go excuse me let me amend that one out to go you don’t need that scoreboard right there anymore we got one out to go let me hear a charm city chat first pitch call it a strike there’s one come on it’s a very low turnout tonight all the people that missed out on this so unfortunate ground ball to aras over to first in time put it in the books the orioles put up one of the best wins of the season all the offense you could ask for all the pitching you could ever need and plenty of defense to secure a nine run win over the team who had the best record in baseball the orioles final score baltimore 10 tigers one one a 10 to one score absolute domination now can we all agree why can’t we just roll over five of these runs till tomorrow couldn’t we have just won five to one and given us a five spot to start the game against scooble wouldn’t that be nice wouldn’t it be nice if we could do that ah gee you knew i had to go there but hey folks 16 hits pounded out tonight the orioles did wind up leaving eight men on base which isn’t great but by the time all was said and done eight men left on when you pound out 16 hits isn’t all that bad you’re going to leave your guys you’re going to leave your share of guys on the fact of the matter is the orioles made up for it big time late with that final eighth inning and uh got up to 10 runs and folks you want to talk about three uh seven batters had two hits jackson adley gunner westber lauriano mullins and aras all had two hit nights and the other two guys they both had a hit too the entire lineup had at least a hit and the vast majority had at least two or had two nobody had more than two but still you want to talk about a nice spread you want to talk about a nice spread you know when you go go out there and buy yourself a shotgun you want to get one that has a good spread well this offense tonight had good spread hits up and down the lineup meanwhile zack efflin can we just point out how wow that was his best start of the season we think not too shabby for the timing on that one uh my goodness folks if you didn’t look at our records you would say the orioles have got to be a pretty good team to put together a win like this oh yeah folks look i’m i love the optimism i’m seeing in the charm city chat a lot of people are ready to take on scooble tomorrow why not why not i said it already why not why not got to be hungry folks got to stay hungry i think uh yeah we lost three out of four before this win tonight that was a rough patch we really can’t afford to be having those because for every one of those you got to go out and run off another six or seven wins in a row to try and uh make up for that because it’s not just tit for tat it’s the fact that it’s like an hourglass you know and every little pebble of sand is a game that’s dropping it’s a little bit less time to make up for uh the ground that needs to be made up so we really have to again i don’t want to get everybody’s hopes up and when i say everybody i’m really talking about myself long way to go in the season still coming up on the halfway point in about a week wow melany’s really got a plunging neckline tonight all right do they really make an oral shirt like that hey can somebody get bw one of those so he can show off his uh let me let me just unbutton this a couple of times hold on two can play at this game melanie all right oh wait that’s that’s only fans content folks no link in the description all right well here’s the fun part this is where i get to go in and talk about the state of the channel once more because tonight was a weird one i think i netted let’s see how did it work out tonight so last oh so i got all right so on june the 8th i got the 2807 and here we are on the 11th and 3 days plus one subscriber that’s right 20 2808 one subscriber every 3 days folks that’s a pace that just sucks but hey thank you to the few that have subbed up in the past few days and to all those who have subscribed it’s not you guys guys are great uh all right let’s see about tomorrow again we know the opponent we know the challenge we’re up against again manny machado poor guy just couldn’t get over that one and a half hit bet really is uh unfortunate thank you janet my voice is starting to get scratchy can you tell so it’s tariq scooble against dean kramer folks dino is going to get matched up against scooball scooble with a 2.18 er 2.16 erra a 82 whip he has 105 strikeouts in only 83 and a3 innings while walking only seven he has a 105-7 strikeout to walk ratio that is uh yeah that’s like all time stuff that’s all time stuff saurin with a late super chat hey saurin thanks where’s the thank you button message for you son that might be uh throat lozenge money instead of coffee money saurin but either way it’s going to a good cause thank you and i want to thank you very much for that i really do thanks so much saurin so yeah tomorrow it’s kramer against scooble folks for all the marbles uh if the orioles can win this one holy cow that would that would get us hyped wouldn’t it coming up after this series the los angeles angels come to town and that’s a must-win series of course a team that uh isn’t playoff bound we got to take care of business at home if we have any aspirations or some may consider delusions of trying to be playoff contenders ourselves we got to take care of business hope you come on back tomorrow night folks bw is going to be on the call and uh yeah crazy crazy uh day today once again shout out to my man brian wilson it really is i’m not trying to milk it for content folks i honestly wasn’t really expecting the uh reaction that i had upon hearing the news and it was one of those sort of delayed response reactions i’ve lost a lot of uh influential artists over the years whether they be authors or musicians or filmmakers or whoever but uh for some reason uh brian wilson hits really really hard feels like the sun isn’t going to be able to shine quite as bright without him around and yeah losing david lynch just couple of months back i know joel i thought i thought about lynch after i got the wilson news thought about lynch and i said to myself that’s yeah i mean two of my favorite artists right there boom boom and the and the thing folks look i don’t want to end this on a sour note but sometimes bw wants to say things that are profound take it or leave it but um there seems to be a uh a new endangered species out there and it’s called you know influential artists we seem to be losing them more and more as we get older and watch them go away and i honestly don’t really see a whole lot of replacements out there i honestly don’t see a whole lot of replacements out there it’s just uh your boys take call me a boomer whatever i’m really an 80s kid beach boys the beach boys were doing cookamo by the time i really was following what the hell they were doing i mean all of that brilliant stuff pet sounds and the rest was before my time but i mean that’s the beauty of recorded music if you do it right uh it’s timeless and brian wilson might be the alltime king in terms of timeless music going to miss him hope he’s resting wherever his spirit may currently be all right folks sorry for the uh little eulogy there couldn’t help it he deserved it i owe it to him like i said god only knows what i’d be without him folks come on back tomorrow night same time until then this has been the bird watcher and the hat and we will chirp at you later have a good night everybody look at that score come on get laid tonight see you later
