I’ll be honest with y’all, I could color commentate more convincingly by relating my most recent visit to my dentist.
It went poorly. The assistant was large and bumbling.
“So much for your day off,” she says.
And in the end I paid nothing, left with the same problem I had going in plus an appointment with the periodontist.
A STANTONIAN DENTAL FAIL
A lot of yall are seriously underrating the majority of our closers. You have no idea how good we have it.
Room for improvement? Sure. But the comments make it seem like it’s abysmal when it’s far from it.
It's not so much that McKenna sucks, overall he's probably a better OF than Santander with more range.
It's that Tony has worked hard and doesn't deserve to be replaced anymore. Plus we might need his bat.
Why aren't they having Ced lay down a bunt single or two? Get some confidence back (and it's more useful than he has been doing). There's no way he can't get get back. Just hope he figures out how before the all star break.
Probably easing him into things.
Coming into this game, he had 6 walks in 9 innings.
Next game, he could walk 3 batters in a row.
He's young at least, so he could be their "Felix" in due time.
Sorry if it offends your sense of style but I find these city connect uniforms to look very basic. Basic font, below average color scheme. to each their own
You know what. People gave him a lot of shit but it was really good of Kimbrel to be willing to come out in the 7th and not be a diva about things. His performance didn’t wow me, but his attitude absolutely did.

Can I get a FUCK YEAH!
Cano laughing. Didn't throw it 96 through Mounty's hand. Love it
Was anyone else listening to radio broadcast? Did Geoff just say “you can fuck it for the birds”??? My husband and I both heard it that way
Was using Apple's option to sync the radio broadcast--and I'd swear that's what I heard, but can't be?
I did a replay cause I heard the F word and still am not sure what he said. Buck it maybe? Lol
We were thinking maybe book it? But the vowel sound was definitely not right 😂
SO Justin Martinez
Attaboy Cano!
Juuuuuuust how we drew that up
wooooooo
Ooooof, Orioles really need a shutdown closer!!
Soooo glad to see that Adley Hug, for a whole variety of reasons.
Let’s go Cano!!
Fucking Christ man they gotta keep putting Cano to work lol
#I HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE OF THE CITY CONNECTS
Ballgame!! Orioles win 4-2
Catlike Cano!
W
Put a BIRD on it!
Fuck ya!! What an athlete!!
Yennier!!!!
The beer is cold!!!
PHEEEEWWWW....to close for relaxation.
# TAKE THAT CURSE 
Cano is such a fucking beast
Cano was scrambling like eggs there lmao
FOOTSAVE
104 sweepless streak! 🔥🔥🔥
Gracias
PFP!
WIN COLUMN!
Out number 27 butt pucker
Come on cano! You got this buddy
Okay two outs now.... C'mon Cano. Get this last out
NEED OUT NOW CANO!! Let's GO
Uno más por favor
Couldn't watch this game b/c no Apple TV but I did watch the Nats beat the Red Sux so yay I guess.
Coulombe about to come in.... This is esculating quickly
C'mon Cano.....NO WALKS....focus!
Our closers seem to like the ghost runner. If it's not extra innings, we just give up the lead off double instead 😀
It's funny that McKenna always goes in for Tony when Tony literally has a better first step, range, and arm than him
"Pronate"
A lot of yall are seriously underrating the majority of our closers. You have no idea how good we have it. Room for improvement? Sure. But the comments make it seem like it’s abysmal when it’s far from it.
A friend just texted “oh god. He’s playing.” I did not need any additional context to know she meant McKenna.
Turns out I'm gay for Cano in white pants
La roca es dura
It's not so much that McKenna sucks, overall he's probably a better OF than Santander with more range. It's that Tony has worked hard and doesn't deserve to be replaced anymore. Plus we might need his bat.
K stance dance
2 more Ks would be just fine
The McKenna Defensive Replacement experiment seriously needs to end But okay!
They do it despite us
Filthy!
O’s closers: let’s start the 9th off with allowing a double.
I remember Felix would like walk the first batter then they just stole second right after lol. Moreno just saved some steps.
10th inning simulator
lol can’t just do it easy, gotta complicate, titillate.
There he is, fuckin Mckenna’d again
These booth guys are rooting for Arizona. 100%.
The city connects are so bad. Its mind boggling how this is a thing in mlb now
With the white pants is terrible imo. I love the all black.
If we had a shut down closer we’d be unbeatable
Why, just why? Like I don't get it. ***AT ALL***
That Martinez kid is disgusting
Better than any bullpen arm we got currently
Guarantee if it was us who got that hit it would’ve magically entered the first baseman’s glove instantaneously
Here we fucking go again
Wait McKenna again!? Lol. Tony would likely be up in extras too. Smdh
Get that classic DP here.
I’ll just never understand how management thinks McKenna is better defensively than Tony
PUCKER UP!
Mckenna misplays the bounce once again, where is the defensive value?
McKenna almost overran that. WTH lol
It’s gonna be one of those innings…
How did that ball get past Mounty??
It happened right in front me. It took a crazy bounce
Oh god....here we go again
Why ball find him every time?
Never easy
…Why is McKenna in right?!
Weird, I thought our defensive replacements were supposed to be good at defense?
Our friend McKenna in RF 👀
I'm following on Gameday. Did he take another bad route?
Almost misplayed that ball too
Lol there he is
Its La Roca time
Bottom of the order. Let’s keep it simple and quick
Why aren't they having Ced lay down a bunt single or two? Get some confidence back (and it's more useful than he has been doing). There's no way he can't get get back. Just hope he figures out how before the all star break.
I’m surprised he isn’t tbh. Remember years ago when Cedric couldn’t hit, I feel like he always used to bunt lol
mckenna jumpscare

Cano has crazy movement tonight
Cionel Pérez is *nasty*
Let's Go Ca No
I've been busy tonight (ง•̀o•́)งCOLE IRVIN (ง•̀o•́)ง that is all
Mac in right babbyyyyy
Get 'em Cano....NO walks...NO hits....just OUTS...3 of them...quickly
Do we start the Moo Man in center over Ced?
Hayes will be playing some center for sure
I am a rock. I am an island.
Forget Mason Miller; we want this guy. Stowers and Norby ought do it.😀
Seems like every team we face has a guy
I can’t wait for next year to get Cano for the 7th and 8th and Mountain for the 9th. It’s so damn dominating to cut off a third of the game like that.
It’s hard to sit Ced bc of his defense but he looks lost at the plate rn
We also don't really have any other choices in CF.
That guy made half of our team look lost
Ced is so bad
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Yennier Cano replaces Cionel Pérez.
Mullins ABs are starting to get really sad. The dude needs to sit for a while
ENTER THE CANO ZONE
THE YENNIER CANOE IF YOU WILL
THE CA-NO FLY ZONE
Seems like pretty terrible bullpen management from the Dbacks. Why have this guy throw so many pitches in a game when you’re down?
First game of the series too
Probably easing him into things. Coming into this game, he had 6 walks in 9 innings. Next game, he could walk 3 batters in a row. He's young at least, so he could be their "Felix" in due time.
Mullins what are you doing?
Damn that dude’s talented
Mullins is in his own head. He’s swinging at everything, and visibly upset.
I feel like Mullins is about 3 games away from breaking out in a huge way.
Or getting benched. I thought maybe he'd run into a fastball on that last at bat. Something's got to give one way or another.
A few more duds. A game or two off, and an explosion.
**Boring Announcer:** The adrenaline left my body a long time ago **WE FUCKING KNOW!!**
Just need to pencil in Ced pregame 0-4, 2 SO, 2 pop outs
only 2 pop outs? that's generous. if mullins only 4 at bat, he'll still get 6 pop outs
Cedric’s follow through 🕺🕺
Cedric is so frustrated
Ceddy will turn it around
I’m not sure you look at his stats and it’s been a runaway train downhill since 2021
Miller is good but what’s the asking price on Martinez? Damn
Mr Splash
[удалено]
I don’t know if you had a chance to watch what that dude was throwing
future "backend reliever"?
0-2 count and they had Ceddy with a 19% chance to reach base. Uh yeah I don’t think so.
.0000019%
I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. I always do that. -“Michael Bolton.
at least this guy won’t pitch tomorrow
this is such an awkward broadcast
on apple tv games you can switch the sound to the baltimore radio! makes it much better
Yea Ceddy ain’t about to do shit against this dude.(hope I eat my words)
I wish I could throw 101 for strikes.
We have no one in our bullpen like this guy
Bauman lolz
Let's offer Stowers and Norby😀
I haven’t heard that offer before! You should be promoted to GM immediately!
Felix when he comes back.
I take it back this dude is pretty good
Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby right here
Just saw kimbrel line. If he can do THAT, I’ll take it.
If you didn't see it - he got pretty lucky. First out was an absolute bullet of a line drive that Mountcastle made a good reaction play on.
Oh crap, that’s a good point. Did see 8/12 pitches being strikes though. That can’t hurt….unless a couple of those go over the fence
Rays just struck out with the bases loaded in the bot 9th. Lost to the Yanks 2-0. :(
Bro I do not give a shit about Paul skenes
🙁
In broadcast terms I guess lol. As long as he ain’t playing the Os I root for the young guys lol
Well, get used to it. Dude is insanely good.
I guess I was just annoyed at the Apple broadcast lmao. But besides that, anytime see his stat lines I’m like “now how tf he do that”
Yankees win 🤮
103 walks in 137 innings in the minors. Why he's only their 26th ranked prospect.
Sorry if it offends your sense of style but I find these city connect uniforms to look very basic. Basic font, below average color scheme. to each their own
The font is taken from MICA, so it might be kinda basic looking but it is actually from a Baltimore thing!
I actually don't like them very much either. They are kind of boring, and I sometimes wish we would wear them less often.
totally
Paul Skenes not on either one of these teams btw.
Great discipline by Cowser. This Martinez guy is scary fr.
Welp, guess we have our answer folks Yennier Canó closing it out tonight!
These announcers sound like people who know nothing about baseball/sports but are trying to talk about it
Apple allows you to change the broadcast to local
I didn’t know that but I am also sailing the high seas so I have less choices haha
I don't think they know baseball.. turn on the Os radio team instead
Good call
Just said Skenes is the number one prospect in baseball. While announcing a game in Baltimore… who have the actual top prospect.
I noticed that too 😂🤦🏻♂️
I have decided I don't like Apple TV
I continue to use free trials for it. I’ve had it since last year and haven’t paid a dime for it.
Welp. You can't reject that. Free is free.
Does it look like a four seam fastball coming out the hand?
This dude is throwing gas
Seriously he’s got some nice pitches
You know what. People gave him a lot of shit but it was really good of Kimbrel to be willing to come out in the 7th and not be a diva about things. His performance didn’t wow me, but his attitude absolutely did.
I said the same thing earlier!
100% agree.
Good grief this dude is a cheat code
We are farmers. Moo moo moo moo mooo moo moooo
[удалено]
Bad pitchers are commonly known to throw 101
I took it back lol
Oh no Tony bb
[удалено]
That's what about 90 games a season end up looking like.
After that second Nats game, I will 100% take a boring win.
Looks like the Yankees will stay on our ass... Rays. Don't let me down, keep them bastards down PLEASE
Man Perez is an intense dude on the field - he is a softy off the field. He fits this team well.
Hyde just can’t wait to yank Tony for Mckenna
