I'm going to have to put these two on mute.

Johnson just rambles on incessantly.


He does talk a lot my goodness

Didn't Newman just get reprimanded for wearing a top that showed off her boobs?


Probably.

She's been wearing jackets lately.

Who is Johnson, and what qualifies him as a color guy?


He's done lots of TV for the O's, but tonight his main qualification is that he lives nearby.

Why do I feel a hangover for this team?

Melanie. WATCH THE OUTFIELDERS. Calls every moderately hit fly ball like it’s going 450 feet

Great advice.

My oldest brother taught me that when I was four or five. I got it then.

I muted these clowns.

 

Listening to Dr. John instead. Robbie Robertson (RIP) queued up next.

It is really difficult not to feel like this is a different team with a different energy than it was at this time 3 days ago. Houston is just eating their lunch.

“It’s a pitchers duel”

Flaherty has 3 ER in 1.2 IP

She just spews stuff

Just stop. Seriously. Felix threw one bad pitch last night.

Oh, and Houston is really good.

Why are you like this?

Sorry guys. It’s me.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

Felix walked a terrible 1st batter and gave up several hard hit balls.

I don't think Felix is terrible. I don't think the team is terrible. But the vibes around the organization right now *are* terrible thanks to John Angelos, and I wanted to see them come out today and respond. So far they have looked bad.

Makes me nervous.

They’ve had one at bat. Yes, Flaherty hasn’t pitched well. He’s getting hit by maybe the best offensive team in the AL

This is representative of them “looking bad”?

If it were any random game it wouldn't bother me, but it's the game after the worst loss of the season in the midst of the entire baseball world absolutely crushing the organization for the actions of a pathetic little man with too much inherited money.

It just doesn't feel good dude. It doesn't inspire confidence. And I hate - absolutely hate - that right now Houston is getting the impression that the Orioles aren't anything but a pretender who will be an easy out in the playoffs.

And to clarify - I'm not saying they're a pretender. I'm saying they're giving one of their top competitors for a WS birth lots of confidence that they aren't a real threat.

I don't mind Dave Johnson but Newman is beyond brutal. How she ever got into an announcing booth is beyond me. Its even worse when she's doing radio play-by-play.

In the standings yes. This is a game played by human beings with emotions and states of mind. I can't imagine those factors are going our way right now. None of the vibes around the team are good right now.

Colton's gotta go back down to get reacquainted with what to expect from a pitcher on a full count with a 3 run lead, bases empty. 

 

He just let that fastball go across the heart of the plate. 

 

Come on dude.

Yeah, kind of difficult to be guessing or to be fooled there.
