VIDEO: Orioles Catcher Austin Wynns Looked Frustrated After Game-Losing Bases-Loaded Walk
By Parker White
You don't want to show up your teammate, but when your pitcher gives up the lead in the ninth inning on a bases-loaded walk, it's hard not to react. Case in point: Baltimore Orioles catcher Austin Wynns. His reaction after Mychal Givens walked in the losing run says everything.
That's what you throw me with the bases loaded and a full count? SHITS WEAK! pic.twitter.com/1M6IaaUGJw

I realize Givens didn't have his best stuff today, but why is he throwing an off-speed pitch on a full count with the bases loaded? Go to your best pitch, the fastball.
And no disrespect to Aaron Hicks, but he's not tearing the cover off the ball since he returned. He's hitting under .200 to go along with a sub-700 OPS. Challenge him with the heat.
in classic Orioles fashion, they walk the worst hitter with the bases loaded to give them the lead in the 9th

Guess Givens didn't feel the same way.
