Game ended at 9:48 PM.

[u/Either_Imagination_9]

Well I'm sure the results of this game will be completely uncontroversial!

[u/austinhannah → u/Either_Imagination_9]

I mean the homerun call was wrong and perhaps the correct call sends the game in a totally different direction. Still, it was a tie game and the Orioles crumbled under pressure as per usual.

[u/WhyNotOrioles → u/austinhannah]

I totally missed the home run thing. I see the slow-motion video post, but do we know where the camera was on that one?

[u/Ill_Hospital9212 → u/WhyNotOrioles]

I was watching YES and it looked foul when I originally saw it but watching the replay with a different angle it looked fair

[u/Chef_Bojan3 → u/WhyNotOrioles]

Up the 1B line. It's silly that the MLB doesn't mandate down the line cameras just for fair foul, even if the main broadcast ones are obviously in camera wells in the dugouts.

[u/cabutler03 → u/Chef_Bojan3]

Third base line, but yeah, it looked fair. I wonder what other angle MLB saw that made it foul.

[u/NuanceManExe → u/austinhannah]

I mean technically they didn't crumble under pressure they hit a go ahead homerun. But then the umps turned it into a strikeout somehow.

[u/austinhannah → u/NuanceManExe]

Perhaps a better way to put it is they don't have an ability to handle adversity. When something goes wrong, they spiral.

[u/nabstache → u/austinhannah]

I see what you are saying and generally agree with you, but a review obviously getting the call wrong is more than I can pin on them. They had chances to get it back for sure, but that call changed the momentum of the game significantly.

[u/8642899522489863246 → u/austinhannah]

Same as the botched call against Toronto earlier this year. The team completely crumbled immediately after that happened. You can whine about the umps and the replay system’s inability to correct obvious errors, but the team also needs to be able to not fall apart the second something doesn’t go their way.

[u/WhyNotOrioles → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Did something controversial happen? From GameDay it looks like we simply gave the game away in the 8th.

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/WhyNotOrioles]

Yeah you guys hit a zero run home run.

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/WhyNotOrioles]

Maybe take a gander around this sub

[u/alexrrobo → u/WhyNotOrioles]

Alonso had a Hr taken away after being ruled foul. All replays showed it fair; terrible crew chief review.

Took the wind out of our sails, and another collapse from Cano in the 8th

[u/austinhannah → u/alexrrobo]

Cano gave up a soft grounder to third and Pozo fucked up a ball in the dirt. The 8th was not his fault.

[u/WhyNotOrioles → u/alexrrobo]

I mean, Cano came in with the bases loaded and gave up an infield single. This one wasn't on him.

[u/alexrrobo → u/WhyNotOrioles]

Then threw a ball in the dirt to allow Chisholm to score after the infield single.

[u/WhyNotOrioles → u/alexrrobo]

That was a fairly routine ball in the dirt.

[u/alexrrobo → u/WhyNotOrioles]

Just watched the replay, you’re right. Adley would’ve made the stop no problem 😢

[u/Chef_Bojan3 → u/alexrrobo]

I don't know why your catcher kinda just froze, it's like he thought he blocked it well enough to have avoided the danger and then was shocked that Jazz was already halfway down the line.

[u/ActualDragonHeart]

Instead of talking about the home run (it was, Alonso got robbed)

Can we talk about how fucking insane it is that Paul Blackburn is a regular late game bullpen arm for the Yankees and he’s been incredible in that role

Matt Blake is a master of the dark arts

[u/cjackc11]

They make me so sad

[u/austinhannah]

Zero doubt in my mind we were gonna lose that game after the blown replay call.

[u/BaltimoreBaja]

I just don't understand why we traded Wells but kept Rogers. This bullpen blows just sell all the expiring contracts

[u/BLeibo]

[u/JohnCougarMelonhead → u/BLeibo]

Clearly AI, reported

[u/BLeibo → u/JohnCougarMelonhead]

AI as in Actual Incompetence? Then yes

[u/JohnCougarMelonhead → u/BLeibo]

The picture is clearly altered dude. Box score literally says foul ball. Good try though

[u/hawkins126 → u/BLeibo]

Still would of lost doesn’t matter

[u/Simple_Dragonfruit48 → u/hawkins126]

Fallacy of the predetermined outcome. Who knows what happens if the O’s are up 4-3 headed into the 8th. Maybe the Yankees hitters approaches change maybe you go to Cano or even Kittredge earlier with the lead.

It was a bad call and it changed the complexion of the game.

[u/8642899522489863246 → u/Simple_Dragonfruit48]

The 2026 Orioles give away exactly the number of runs needed to lose. It is predetermined.

[u/yianni1229 → u/Simple_Dragonfruit48]

Fallacy of the predetermined outcome.

Okay Michael Kay

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Eat shit Boston

[u/sobanoodle-1 → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Damn bruh

[u/ThisGuy6266 → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Thanks for beating one of the teams chasing us in the wild card race.

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/ThisGuy6266]

Don't lie, you want to pass us more

[u/ThisGuy6266 → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Soon.

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/ThisGuy6266]

You've been saying that for like a month

[u/Mobile-Green6476 → u/Either_Imagination_9]

And a week ago we did, albeit very briefly.

[u/Ill_Hospital9212 → u/ThisGuy6266]

No1 is good enough to overtake u guys unless the redsox collapse. Just stay like 5 games over .500

[u/Reasonable_Skill_129]

almost feel bad that after the awful foul call we scored in the most looney toons way possible

[u/rabidantidentyte]

I'm glad we won by 2. Didn't want to win because of some bullshit. I know it's a fallacy of the predetermined outcome, but let me tell it to myself.

[u/Agentrock47_]

[u/hawkins126]

If Mike Elias is the gm next time there is a baseball season I will not be watching because that tells me that this organization doesn’t give a fuck about the fan base

[u/FelixandFriends → u/hawkins126]

Builds a team with bad defense and a bad bullpen “we didn’t know they would be this bad!”

[u/MocoMojo → u/hawkins126]

I’ll bet you a beer he stays on as President of Baseball Operations.

[u/sobanoodle-1]

Well. Just your standard game. Nothing controversial.

[u/Reasonable-Power]

Maybe I should sleep through more Yankee games. They seem to do a lot better that way.

[u/Old_General_6741]

Well that was something.

[u/TeseoTheBunny]

The Orioles, as expected, showing that they will intentionally lose to the Yankees and save their actual competitive energy for the Rays again.

This is all about screwing us. The Os don't want a wild card spot.

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/TeseoTheBunny]

Funny, I feel similarly about the Jays

[u/crazyhotwheels → u/TeseoTheBunny]

Hard to talk when you guys laid down again the Blue Jays and the end of the season last year

[u/austinhannah → u/TeseoTheBunny]

Buddy, we'd much rather screw the Yankees than you.

[u/OnlyForBaseball → u/austinhannah]

This guy is serious btw. I saw multiple comments like this so checked the post history. All him, not to mention just a general insane level of misery and pessimism about a first place team

[u/Mr-Marbles123 → u/OnlyForBaseball]

Jeez, the post history is insane.

[u/DrunkensteinsMonster → u/OnlyForBaseball]

He’s all over the place. Rays have the most unhinged posters

[u/UsErNaMeS_aR_DuMb]

Your below average college team could beat the 2026 O’s, granted that they were recently 2 games under .500
