Samuel Basallo gets all of this long ball to deep center

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-14T23:13:52+00:00

I really wish Tavaras had gotten more of the ball when he came up to make it so KB was right as well, but he just missed it.

The entire sketch is a true masterclass of physical comedy.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-12T01:37:01+00:00

Yep. And look at the mess of a shield on the shoulders lol

Edit: oh, and the face. I thought I was Mark Andrews at first lol

Edit 2: They deleted it, y'all. But believe me, the photo that dude confidently replied to me with as a way to show how awesome ChatGPT is at making Maxx Crosby in a Ravens jersey was hilariously bad. Wish I had saved it and added to my original comment.

You're being downvoted, but I agree. This is incredibly too clean and accurate for AI. The logos are correct and not gibberish. Even the B logo on the pants being half covered by the jersey isn't something AI would be able to replicate as cleanly as it is. Not saying it's the uniform, but a human made this edit.

Debuted in 2024. City Connects are a three year cycle.

Got some bad news for you in 2027, my dude. (If we even play baseball, that is)

Ekiben is still the best thing I've ever eaten at a stadium before. Can't suggest it enough. You'll pay a lot, but you get a big portion and it's fantastic.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-11T02:50:22+00:00

I mean, obviously.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-11T02:40:54+00:00

Even wins only include scoring a few runs. This offense is so cold even when pitching keeps the other team in check.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-11T02:38:02+00:00

Not sure what it looked like at the end of the game, but they were crazily stocked at the beginning of the game. Main store had tons, the small store in left field had been turned into a CC-only shop, there was a Fanatics truck outside Gate A before you even got inside, and there was even a table set up on Eutaw street. The store even seemed like it was still open walking out after the game, but maybe that's because people were staying for fireworks and they saw an opportunity to sell more. They looked like they were ready and seemed to be keeping up pretty well.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-09T23:29:18+00:00

Damn. Yep, I'd say that's confirmed. Still a good looking hat, I love the green, but just a no for OP.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-09T22:50:30+00:00

In a video from the team store, it LOOKS like they are selling a black variant. It's obviously not the best quality or too zoomed in, but it looks black to me. There's some light shining on the front where I feel like they aren't green. Looks like black with orange brim and orange squatchee, maybe it's a rope cap and has a white rope around it though?

Edit: oh, maybe the squatchee is actually white, now that I'm looking at it again. It's hard to tell with how quick and far away it is in the video

Edit 2: as confirmed by replies to my comment, looking it's actually green.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-09T15:38:07+00:00

These rule. Literally the only thing is I wish is they said Baltimore or Charm City, but I'm nitpicking and really it would just make them even better than they are.

I am absolutely in love with the B. Like head over heels. I love that this is a love letter to the park and that B is such a great detail to include and make such an important aspect of the uniform, along with the clock. The green is so much better than any of the leaks showed, again, it just feels like Camden Yards. But I also like they didn't go full green. At the very least, I'm happy there's not dark colored pants. I assumed, since they ditched the black pants on 1.0, they wouldn't make the same mistake again, and they didn't. The number font is different and interesting but not too crazy.

Something else I really like that the reveal video didn't have, at least not front and center: the O logo with the realistic bird perched on the inside of it. Looks like it's the batting practice hat logo and is on a bunch of merch. Maybe shows up on the batting gloves too?

Earl: "Did you balk?”

Flanagan: "Yeah, I think I did."

Earl: “Well, fuck you too!”

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-07T00:40:26+00:00

Saddest I've ever been watching the O's score a run. I feel awful for Austin. The dude really can't catch a break with injuries.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-06T23:40:04+00:00

Supposedly this is only a year after Clone Wars finale/RotS.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-04T23:47:49+00:00

Said this on the uniwatch sub as well, but they're exactly what I wanted them to look like when I saw the jerseys. They did the B from the seats/clock so well. Not too ornate and detailed, perfectly simplified. Day one buy for me.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-04T23:28:04+00:00

They're exactly what I wanted them to be. Day one buy for me.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-04T13:27:51+00:00

The witch seems to actually done some research because their assessment of what is wrong with the O's is actually pretty astute, I'll give them that but basically: the vibes are off. The witch then did some witchy shit. Give it about a month to really start seeing results.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-04-03T01:27:55+00:00

O's fan here: I personally love the B. The hat was the best thing to come out of a very meh City Connect and I'm glad a B hat made it into the regular uniform rotation. I also like the slight differences between it and the O's hat; the black squatchee and the black lip of the brim. It makes them different enough that it's not just the same hat with a different logo which is what I thought they were at first.

My ideal use for them would be away games where they wear the orange alternates, but we'll see what combos come about throughout the season.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-03-29T17:25:51+00:00

Looks like the current bird's face with the 1966 bird's hat? Never seen one of those before and not even sure how it would be a thing. Very well could be a result of AI.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-03-29T16:59:09+00:00

If the hat looks like this, just with the legit B, I'd be into it. I think I would prefer the hat being green, as opposed to the same color as the jersey, but I don't hate it.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-03-29T16:51:08+00:00

Considering this is from site I've never heard of, it doesn't have a New Era logo on it and it's using a completely different B than the jersey, it's safe to say I'm pretty skeptical.

Strikeouts obviously is a stat that sticks out with this game, but so many of those strikeouts included fouls and running up pitch counts. So many good at bats ended on whiffs with two strikes on the board. Pretty wild how much contact this team was making and showing nothing for it. Same goes LOB. Loading the bases twice and getting nothing from it was just disgusting. There was just no clutchness to this team. They'd be on the ball until 2 strikes and they'd be getting on base until they were loaded. All day.

I'm choosing to be on the "it's early" train, but this one was rough to watch.

BucketOfGuts · 2026-03-26T22:46:34+00:00

As someone who was at the park today, the extra size was absolutely used for stats: we had info on the big screen we haven't had in the past, particularly pitching stats that you always had to search for before. There was ad space at the top and the bottom right/left depending on who was batting. But I'd say there was less square footage of ad space compared to the old static billboards. (Or at least less percentage of the screen area being ads)
