Sometimes you just can’t beat Shohei Ohtani, and that’s what happened on Monday night, as Ohtani reached base five times and pitched seven innings as the Baltimore Orioles lost to the Los Angeles Angels 7-5. Host Connor Newcomb recaps the loss and gives you the five things you need to know from the loss, including the Orioles hitters taking Ohtani deep, Anthony Santander playing first base, and the bullpen keeping the game close.
Then, Connor breaks down Grayson Rodriguez’s rough start, looks at why he has struggled, but also tells you why it’s not time to panic.
Finally, Connor explains why the Orioles have once again sent Kyle Stowers back down to Triple-A.

I haven't seen so much inconsistency with Starters in a long time! Ohtani was NOT great last night with pitching! 3 bombs showed that! The Starting Pitching for O"S SUCKED! May be time for the O's to scout new Pitching Coaches, because so far, with the O's Starters, it's NOT pretty with most of them! From my perspective, most of their problems are location, location, location! As my father would scream at me while on the mound. See, my Dad was in the NY Dodgers low end farm system for a short stint (1mo) as a Pitcher , they loved his stuff, rough, but good and he then decided to join the Navy due too; baseball couldn't feed 4 kids at the time. So, I know about pitching! Give me any troubled pitcher on this team location issues and I will have his butt cured within 1 month! maybe sooner? ps: the 1st one is free!
Nice hat
Stowers I agree. See if something gets going with him if not we can package and trade him. Have tons of prospects.
Grayson gat to learn how to spot pitch he throw all his pitchs up in the zone and in the middle of the plate and gat to get out that giving up walks and runs in the first inn

Sorry conner i still liked the video but could not watch after a painful lost …..really dont like those recaps TBH but lets go orioles tonight!
I didn't know who this Othtani was. I had to look three times before I believed it. 'Wait was that the pitcher hitting a 3 run homer?!' 'Wait he's batting 296? 296!.' 'And we are getting out pitched (yeah changed this. Shutout was the Pirates game oops!) .' 'Great!' I'm sure he is the best player in baseball. Any who it is on to game #2 and a chance to even it up.
Ohtani didn't pitch well, yet still dominated. His ceiling is above anyone.
The Orioles should have won that game. You score 5 runs off of Ohtani, you should win. Grayson was just horrible. If they are going to be patient with Grayson and Gunnar than the same should be done for Stowers. He is gonna go back down to Triple A and rake again. More Triple A at bats won't help him with mlb pitching. Gillespe sent back down today, Irvin called back up, you forgot about him. I don't blame you
Sucks to be the idiot who threw Ohtani's 3-run homer ball back 🤣
Enjoying your segments Connor – Keep up the excellent work. ✅
Overrated and will never go anywhere on the Angels.
