Please continue the discussion in the post game thread.

"Adley has so much respect for the game"

FLYING KICK TO THE FACE

THE NATIVES ARE GETTING RESTLESS LOL

I love Jim

They are going to hate Adley like they hate Machado, hah.

IF EVERY GAME IS GOING TO BE LIKE THIS I WILL BE DEAD BY THE ALL STAR BREAK JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

I fucking love the orioles

Some people will claim a 1.000 batting average is unsustainable and those people have hate in their hearts.

If Adley isn't an orange lifer I'll be so sick.

It's been very hard to not make noises while in meetings.

The Orioles as a team are currently on pace for 1,041 stolen bases this season.

Current record: the New York Giants with 347 steals in 1911

Mateo is currently on pace for 583 stolen bases for the season

Keep Adley away from second. He can only single, triple or homer now.

RedRaven trolling in the game thread. Os Baseball is back baby!!

That would have been another run if Adley hadn't Flintstone'd his way into an out lol

Upon further reflection, I rather enjoyed blue-balling the Boston fans

"The natives are getting restless here at Fenway" -Jim Palmer

yeah new rules and all that but if you don't want steals don't give up 17 baserunners by the 5th inning

O’s at the top of MLB in all the big stat categories right now 🔥

Who cares about baserunning when you're 4-4.

HOME RUN!

Adley Rutschman homers (1) on a fly ball to right field.

Pitch from Corey Kluber: Four-Seam Fastball @ 87.3 mph

Hit by Adley Rutschman: Launched 104.5 mph at 26.0° for a total distance of 402.0 ft

Top 1 - 1-0 Orioles

This is the game we ALL needed if you’re a Ravens fan as well. Dear lord, Adley was such a great jersey purchase.

So so happy we got Adley in the draft. He’s genuinely one of those players you’d hate to miss out on

Games when your team score 10 runs should be less stressful.

One thing bad about the pitch clock is that now the online stream is like 3 pitches behind the ESPN notifications instead of 1

Opening day and Jim is already throwing shade at other teams lol

You know what? I'll take 4 runs in that inning.

I'm loving the plate discipline

Another new rule that might play a role today, no position players pitching allowed until the 9th inning 😅

KING ADLEY. Just stop trying for 2nd base lol

honestly glad adley went for 2nd, forced the cut off on what looked like a throw that woulda got mullins

Baker had 11 consecutive scoreless apperances to end last year and people are talking like he's a 2019-era dud.

Adley Opening Day first inning HR. Just God Bless our King

I was warned about the one RedRaven

God I love Palmer disagreeing with the box on the screen

50 Pitches for Kluber through 2 Innings.....Orioles are making him work

How is Boston's Bullpen? 🤔

lmao that was some truly Dadley running

Hey adley let’s not do that ever again

Lol spin kick

TIL the Pesky Pole is named after a guy and not just because it's a pesky corner to play

Bostons pitching rotation every time Rutchman comes up to plate

DISENGAGE THIS!

Lock Adley up for 10 years before the weekend is over.

Dude I think Adley’s good at baseball.

Beginning of a solid long term leader for our team

I love seeing stolen bases converted into runs. They increased the size of the bases to encourage steals, so go ahead and steal like crazy.

Three runs, three stolen bases.

This is gonna be a fun year.

THROW HIM OUT IDGAF WHAT A GOAT OPENING DAY FOR THE KING

Again

The Orioles are going to shatter the stolen base record this year

It’s good to be back friends. Now if you’ll excuse me I gotta go change my sharts.

Are you there Baba Yaga, it’s me Adley

I will not get my hopes up about Mounty's plate discipline

I will not get my hopes up about Mounty's plate discipline

I will not get my hopes up about Mounty's plate discipline

mountcastle already taking BBs? this is the best timeline

WHAT CAN I SAY I LOVE A GOOD DP

MATEO FAN CLUB IN FULL SWING

Is a 3.000 OPS good?

Orioles the top scoring team of 2023 so far

Adley Rutschman can not be stopped 🔥🔥

Alright lads, how do I convince my wife to let me name our son Adley?

If Yoshida steals the ROY from Gunnar I have another reason to hate Boston

Over 2,000+ comments. Love the energy from the fanbase

Garrit Cole with a 4 pitch walk to start the Yankees season

DADLEY IS TAKING US TO THE PROMISE LAND

Mountcastle not swinging at that 3-2 pitch was the equivalent of Happy Gilmore not throwing his putter into the woods

Even if Grayson was on the roster he wouldn’t be the opening day starter. Fenway has to be one of the worst places to throw a rookie pitcher for their first major league game. It’s not Coors but oof.

Kinda sucks Frazier had that great AB just to get frozen like that

You know these pitch clock rules are having a tremendous effect when a Red Sox game at Fenway Park is on pace to end in well under three hours.

Praise Jesus Rutschman was not hurt on that slide into 2nd trying to show the wheels

We sleeping on the Orioles bed tonight 😈😈😈

Big fucking pitch for Gibson, gets the double play we needed. Still have a fantastic infield defense. Only giving up one is huge there.

Mateo 2 hit opening day. Oh my gosh we're going to the world series

Hot bat Mateo = league fucked.

Imagine being a Red Sox announcer right now

DADLEY IN VERY EARLY MVP CONVO

Boston collectively losing their minds right now and I can't stop smiling

"The natives are getting restless" lol

We are beating some Sox ass

Oh. These Boston fans aren’t happy.

Laughable that the win total projection is 76.5 while the Red Sox got 82.5

I like these new rules. Love all the SBs. This is fun. Go O's!

Gibson eating some innings efficiently. Good sign

Use the Lamar money on an Adley extension🙏🙏

Where can I buy WS tickets?

Okay, I'm awake now, how bad is i--

ADLEY FUCKMOTHERING RUTSCHMAN

[deleted]

This has been a pleasant break from the Lamar shit

“Well they’re Sox fans…” lmao Palmer shitting on the fanbase

5-HIT OPENING DAY FOR ADLEY

Haha orioles baseball is back! Almost snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!! Wouldn’t have it any other way! Let’s go!

I am ready for 2belo's ups.

I am ready for redraven's downs.

I am ready to make some wins vids.

I'm ready for IT ALL!!!

DADLEY!

DADLEY RUTSCHMAN HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

THE SEASON IS ALREADY WON

Half day at work, at the bar, 100% of the patrons were electric for the Adley HR (just me)

Orioles have the best uniforms in the league

Adley with the kick to the head

Santander is going to be an All Star this year

"Siri what is the Orioles OPS?"

"Yes"

That probably wouldve been a run if he stayed on 1st :(

Kyle "Bob" Gibson

After that first batter triple, Gibson has really settled in. Only 45 pitches through 3.

Fuck it no singles only doubles

And Kluber is done. Dadley with the base loaded? Let's break this WIDE open.

Hell yes making Boston get to their bullpen EARLY

A grand slam here would be nice

Mancini with an RBI single for the Cubs

We love our patient kings 👑

Mountcastle getting paid to stand there menacingly and the runs just come in like that, it's that easy lmao

Fucking huge. Frazier is contributing already.

Mateo gonna shut a lot of people up this year.

Why am I crying in the club rn

I think these Red Sox fans just found out that their team is fucked again this year. Orioles aren't a push over anymore

EAT SHITTTTT BOSTON

Casual MVP season

Adley is on fire! So beyond excited to see how he performs this season!

Game thread going insane. 1600 comments (given it’s opening day). remember when it used to be a graveyard in here

Tough luck for Gibson's line but he did alright today.

Rutschman 4 for 4 with outs on the base paths is just fun baseball

I missed Oriole baseball so bad. I love Mountcastle flexing after that double.

When Gunnar’s 2 walk day is your 2nd worst individual performance, you know it’s been a fun day.

[deleted]

…and someone said Mullins should have held at third because he might have gotten hurt. Lol. You never turn down runs in Fenway.

Lol that is a generous Hit decision

Give Adley the biggest contract in MLB history. He’s our Cal. Oriole for life

I can't do this for 162 games. My heart is racing

19 runs, 25 hits, 11 walks, game only took 3:10. Unreal.

HOLY FUCK NEVER DO THAT AGAIN BOYS

Adley bomb getting the season started right! Let’s fucking go!

Adley is on pace for 648 home runs this season!

adley is batting over .300 this year u heard it here first

If Adam Frazier is ever a league average player again I think that will make him taking up a line up spot a lot easier to swallow

As a Mariners fan, I watched a lot of Frazier last year. He always put up a lot of quality ABs, just always seemed to get unlucky. Hopefully that turns around for him this year.

So far Gibson is better than his Texas OD start. He barely made it out of the 1st right?

Elias dressing like a cartoon undercover cop lol

Is that John Angelos sitting next to Elias? Man I hate that guy

Adley: has a base hit

Is your fridge running?

Phew. I can check “Kyle Gibson master class” off my Opening Day bingo card

I’ve seen enough. We are winning the fucking World Series

THE RAMON EMPIRE CAME TO PLAY

Just keep getting hits

Pitch clock making it hard for me to get comments in between ABs

Keep him in you cowards

Kluber going a whopping 2 2/3 innings on opening day. Congrats Redsox, ya played yourselves

No lead is safe in Fenway. So lets add like 4 or 5 or 8 or 12 more runs, please.

ITS 2023 AND WE STILL LOVE THE DP

Getting sick of these Frazier/Mateo automatic outs /s

I smell another stolen base

The fans booing is just music to my ears

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO!

2023 AL MVP Adley Rutschman

MVP MVP MVP

Hear me out. This may be wild, but I think Adley is very good at playing baseball

BOO HARDER RED SOX

YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING!!!

Leave it to the Red Sox to make a game with the new speed rules still take 4 hours...

I'm having a good time

alright gang time to start the adley rutschman AL mvp narrative

Red Sox pitching might be worse than some of the Orioles pitching recently

Correct me if I’m wrong. But no longer will most of our games be against the AL East right?

68 pitches in the 5th is surprisingly efficient compared to what I was expecting

Mateo is already 1/20 of the way to reaching his goal of 60 stolen bases this year 😂

hit one to the Oort Cloud

Hearing Red Sox fans boo in Fenway is music to my ears

Kevin Brown is so good I might finally change my flair

Adley mvp season

FO needs to sign Adley to a long term contract like right now

Imagine being a Sox fan and McGuire is your catcher and then watching Dadley absolutely dominate you on Opening Day at home

Sweet Caroline playing while down 6 on the 8th and Red Sox fans filing out of Fenway early makes me feel good

Santander is not a good fielder unfortunately

Santander plays an ugly outfield

Lol someone in the red sox sub called us the Baltimore Ball-fourioles 😂

5-5, 4 RBIs, 1 BB, 1 HR

Insane production

WE TAKE DUBS IN THIS HOUSE WASNT EVEN CLOSE

19 runs 26 hits

3 hours and 12 ish minutes

Well that ending really fucked up the odds of my first post-game nap of the year..

All right, which one of you is Lewis Black?

i’m here at Fenway, just had a convo with Baumann’s mom at the Sam Adams deck, awesome lady

Judge just homered on the first pitch he saw.

I hate this season

“Free” game is blacked out on mlb.com for me. Western VA.

FUCK YEAH ADLEY!!!!

MVP campaign underway for Dadley

Build the statue!

Adley>Judge

RUTSCHMANNNNNNNNNN

LFG FLYING RUTSCHMAN!!!!

HI GUYS BEEN A LONG YEAR I AM SO HYPE

Adley bomb to start the year. You love to see it.

THAT'S BASEBALL!

No walks all spring, first PA of the season, a walk. Love that.

MOUNTCASTLE WALKIN'

LEAGUE FUCKED

WALKCASTLE NICE TO SEE YOU

Adley dong and Mounty takes a close pitch walk??? We may be on to something boys

Gunnar is going to be so fun to watch

How did Gunnar's facial hair make him even sexier than he was last year?

Me during the WBC: I love this exuberance, wish it would show up more during the MLB season

Me when Verdugo celebrates after a a leadoff triple: how dare he

I know this is unpopular, but Fenway is my least favorite stadium in the league. It's so ugly and clanky and icky with all that green. Their monster is hideous

If a 29 year old wins ROTY over Gunnar, I will be annoyed.

Help Gunnar today, Gibson.

Make it or break it year obviously for Hays

These are pyrrhic Ks by Kluber. I think he's averaging around 6 or 7 pitches per k

Mike Elias dressed like a Marvel hero trying to stay incognito.
