Orioles historic streak ends as they are swept by the Cardinals

The Baltimore Orioles had not been swept for over two years, but that streak ended on Wednesday, as they lost back-to-back games to the St. Louis Cardinals. Host Connor Newcomb recaps both losses and highlights performances from John Means, Cole Irvin, Gunnar Henderson, Keegan Akin, and others.
Then, Connor reminisces on the podcast over the last four years as this is the 1,000th episode he has hosted!

Congratulations Connor: both on 1000 episodes; and to you and Hannah on your upcoming marriage. As a 60 year old Brit who has supported the Orioles for 40 plus years, I enjoy your podcasts which have really helped me understand more of the detail about the Orioles and baseball. Keep it up!

[@DavidVick-nv7gu]

Congrats Connor on all fronts! You do an amazing job and I'm glad to be an every day listener for a few years. I felt bad for Gunnar, you could see how upset he was with himself for booting that ball. I hope they don't try and press to much and just go out and play.

[@jmchristoph]

I started watching baseball again a little over 2 years ago, mostly to have something to do besides constantly thinking about the thesis I was struggling to write. When I was a kid, my Dad & I had been big O's fans (as much as one could be in rural Virginia, this was before the Expos moved to DC), so naturally I gravitated back towards them. I wasn't expecting much, but then after a few days this kid Adley shows up & everyone's real excited for some reason and I'm like "man, that's sweet they're giving the new guy a standing ovation, but c'mon, let's play ball already?" And then all of a sudden the O's start winning. After that inexplicable 10-game win streak in May, I texted my Dad saying "hey, the O's are doing pretty well this season, huh?" To which he immediately replied "Is this some kind of sick joke?" And it made me smile so big to call him up & say "check the AL East leaderboard again, Dad!" What a team. Timeless. Persistent. Joyful.

[@wallberlin]

THIS IS A CONNOR APPRECIATION POST! Congrats on 1000 eps and the wedding this weekend! Enjoy it, take time to look around this weekend, and just take in everyone important in your life in one place, being happy for you and Hannah and enjoying themselves.

[@joemazing89]

Cardinal fan here, in Mullins defense, even our broadcasters thought Noot missed that ball. I don’t know if the angle he had would have been better than what was on TV or not though.

[@michaelmertig2897]

Hello Connor. Whats up Orioles Fans. Just found the Pod Cast and Chat this Season and it is fun to chat O's. Congrats and here is to many more Wins and Shows moving forward. Die Hard Orioles fan here and pumped to see just how good this group of Players will end up being.

[@christinarizzotti7869]

Congratulations Connor! I am an "everydayer"...starting at the beginning of last year. I love to hear your updates and insight. Here is to 1000 more and beyond! Go O's 🧡🖤

[@KrillbornShrimptot]

A Senators fan since childhood. Listened to all their night games on my red Sinclair gas station transistor. Hated the O's because they were good, and the Nats were awful. Went to my first ballgame since the Senators left DC the night of the Bronco chase. I'd forgotten how much I love baseball! Found it impossible to transfer my loyalties back again, to a National League team at that. Discovered the podcast in September. Listen on Spotify, comment on KZbin. Love it! You're doing a great job.

[@ericlove5860]

Congrats on 1000 episodes and your upcoming nuptials! You’re my go to podcast for my drive into work every morning. Glad you didn’t quit like most of us would have through those tough years!

[@TheAbchair]

Congrats Connor on doing an amazing job every day! Die hard Orioles fan who went to Game 2 of the last Orioles World Series as a fresh fan of 10! Congrats on your upcoming wedding! Really enjoy the amount of detail and thoughtfulness of each episode. Heres to a other 1000 (if your future wife will allow it 😂)!

[@jpowell5251]

Congratulations on episode 1000 and on your marriage this weekend! I'm a new listener this season, and I'm really glad I found your podcast. It is very informative, and perfect for my commute from Clear Spring out to Cumberland every day. Thank you for the great podcast!

[@Raptinraptor]

You might be the goat orioles podcaster

[@frankisfunny2007]

I'm honestly just glad they made it this far with the sweep-less streak. But, I found it as a distraction. Now, just win as many games as possible, and get better as players.

[@user-hu2hg1bu5u]

Keep the show! Love it. Listen to it everyday

[@darrellwilliams3405]

Congratulations🎉 you host a really good postcast. You are very informative and a passionate fan and I really enjoy watching your postcast every day.

[@looneylax18]

Congrats to you and your fiancé!!! And thanks for doing this show!!!You always offer comprehensive takes and us fans really appreciate it!

[@richhopper9401]

I have very much appreciated and enjoyed listening to your Phantom of the Orioles and your breakdown of their play. It’s been very informative and fun. One question I have is the talk about gunner being an MVP candidate and if you just asked any fan in general if they would take the stat line that Adley Richman is carrying right now as their catcher they would fall over saying yes, and yet no one talks about the fact that this is by far it seems to be the best catcher in baseball right now, but not an MVP candidate, that seems odd

[@jfo1344]

Hey Connor! So excited for you and Hannah! I love this podcast, and I love your attitude and the way you represent our team. you're a great host, thank you so much for all the work that you put in for us! praying for your wedding, may it be a beautiful and wonderful day!

[@oriolephan]

Congrats dude!

[@nukeevry1]

Congrats Connor. Love hearing your perspective, keep up the great work

[@drewc771]

Congrats, my man. I've listened to a fair share of those 1,000. Not freaking out about the sweep. Was bound to happen eventually. Long way to go.

[@hannahbroder1340]

Love you & so so proud of you

[@robertshepperson-ed1qc]

Congratulations on 1000 episodes & your upcoming wedding! Let’s go Os!!

Congrats!!! Found you beginning of this year! Great content

The other silver lining! If we make the Series, it won’t be against the Cardinals!

[@OsFan8]

Congrats on 1000 shows. I haven’t seen them all but definitely most.

[@DJDan07]

Congrats on #1000. Let's hope you can do 1000 more.

[@DJDan07]

Congrats on the wedding as well. Best wishes to you and your soon to be wife.

Dude! Mazel tov! Wish I'd known cuz you're gonna need a good band on Sundy! Many blessings to you and your fiancée.

STL fan here the Cards are starting to play well for the first time in 2 years. My twin brother's an O's fan

[@jimmyers8167]

Card fan here! We needed that sweep! Didn't know about that streak before. Wow, 106 in a row is something to be proud of. Watched all three games and the Orioles have a bunch of good young talent. Hope to see them in the playoffs again. Go beat the Yanks!!!⚾⚾⚾

[@afguy79]

The Cards wanted to protect their all time sweepless streak record

[@freymoon]

Hope your Cardinals rot in hades

[@CamKrazy2000]

It just goes to show that O's still aren't one of those teams that can play sloppy defense and overcome it with their bats like teams such as Dodgers or Yanks could. Also you can't have consistent offense when half the guys are always swinging for the fences and half the ABs seem to end in fewer than 3 pitches. I love Adley but he just takes exaggerated upper cut swings too often.

[@user-rt1fd4cm1g]

Congrats 👍

[@NomadicBrian]

Congrats on your 1000th. Much happiness to you on your marriage. As for the O's I say look to youth and the future now.

[@wallberlin]

We sure do get around the O's-verse, buddy.

[@NomadicBrian]

@@wallberlin Hey. Yes I do the circuit or a least 'a circuit'. Connor does a very good job. One thing about the 'Locked In' folks they do set a professional standard. I like the 'agenda' approach. Let's face it we don't have to time to do this all day and sometimes the subject is of less interest for a broadcast. You can look at the agenda and click forward or decide if you want to invest. Doing the circuit requires time management. I often write code while I watch because I can go on auto pilot on the low level code typing spans.

[@afguy79]

KANSAS CITY now has a better record than the O's. Were down to the #5 seed

[@edwardogle2458]

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Enjoy it!

[@datther]

There is always a silver lining. I don’t have to hear about the sweepless streak anymore, thank Christ. I literally don’t care. Now. Anything less than 3 of 4 in Chicago is a problem. They suck. Let’s leave bad luck and one VERY bad ball or strike call behind

[@wheelerainslie6]

How many games this year have the O's tallied 3, 4, 5 hits? Not going to win many of those games. The offense has been extremely inconsistent and that's what happens when your team is hitting .240 with a .300 OBP. Even if you hit 3 solo HRs you'll still lose almost every time. Can't keep trotting Gunnar out at leadoff and an outfield who is hitting around .195 (apart from Cowser). I like Santander, Mullins, and Hays but those ABs have to start going to Stowers. It's not early anymore. The starters are pitching games they should win, but the manager and the outfield are incompetent. They haven't really even been playing top-notch teams so far--hopefully the brutal reality of the June schedule will wake the team up. Good offenses are built on singles and walks. Yes you need the hairybacks to knock them in but just doubles and HRs won't do it.

[@christien9803]

The hitting has hit a wall and the back end pitching is bad!

Every time you complete 1000 episodes, the Orioles get swept!

[@totalrobot]

Putting in Akin was a mistake the moment I saw Hyde coming out of the dugout. Knew they were going to blow it.

[@robinlware]

Bullpen stinks

[@vaughnjb]

Came to see the comments by the so called Orioles fans. Bunch of panicking bed wetters.

[@wind_runner6836]

I think so-called Orioles fans are people like you who discredit other fans for having a different reaction than you. Quite sad really

[@vaughnjb]

@wind_runner6836 no, people like you who have emotional responses to each loss like a 12 year old girl.

[@wind_runner6836]

@@vaughnjb I don't, but then again your response would be exactly 💯 percent what I expected of a so called O's fan 😂

[@vaughnjb]

​@wind_runner6836 so you're a 12 year old girl😂

[@shore-cityfilms]

Actually, I would say the fans that don’t accept bad losses would be the more passionate fans. Team has been playing really bad, they deserve some criticism
