One Pitching Prospect from Each Contender for the Orioles to Target at this Deadline
With the Orioles positioned to be sellers at the deadline they should be almost exclusively targeting starting pitching prospects in their trades. Preferably starting pitching prospects either currently in triple A or about to be in triple A so that they can start impacting the major league roster as soon as possible. Most of the…

How Did This Happen and What do We Do Now Part 2 (The rest of the season part)
The Orioles find themselves in a unique position. Right smack in the middle of their “contention window” they are one of the worst teams in all of baseball. For almost any other team with a winning percentage of 35% the obvious thing to do would be to sell your veteran players at the deadline and…

41 Candidates to be the Next Manager of the Baltimore Orioles
Brandon Hyde was Mike Elias’ handpicked guy to lead this team. Elias stuck with him through the rebuilding years and did not replace him the moment the team got good (That is not usually how it goes for rebuild managers). Just 10 days before Hyde was fired Elias did a whole “We can still turn…

How Did This Happen and What Do We Do Now? Part 1 (The hitting part)
This Orioles season has been like if you had a brother who was a UFC fighter and he had a big title fight coming up. You buy the pay-per-view well in advance, you invite people over to watch the fight and you prepare a bunch of fun snacks for people to eat. While the undercards…

30 MLB Players vs 1 Gorilla
When Brandon Hyde decided to put Charlie Morton on the mound in the 8th inning of a two run game I decided I needed to protect my peace and rather than watch Morton grapple with his baseball mortality I opted to open my phone and scroll on TikTok. While Morton was falling behind 3-0 to…

Is Mike Elias the Worst at Free Agency?
As I watched Charlie Morton surrender a 3 run bomb to give the Tigers a lead in the second game of a double header that the Orioles were destined to lose, a thought occurred to me. It wasn’t a ground breaking thought, and perhaps many Orioles fans have already had this thought but as Riley…

Ist es Over Für Mich?
After a 24-2 beatdown at the hands of the apparently mighty Cincinnati Reds the Orioles sit at 9-12 on the season which is good for 4th place in the AL East. The O’s have put me in an interesting spot where I look at the 9-12 record and I know it’s bad but it’s not…

Updated Jersey Patch Rankings
I understand why sponsorships and ads are necessary. I don’t mind there being an ad for MasterCard on the back of the pitching mound and it doesn’t bother me when a stadium gets renamed after an insurance company but the sponsored patches on the jerseys I find very annoying. These sponsored patches started in 2023…

It Takes Three To Tango
Ever since Adley Rutschman first debuted Orioles fans have been hopeful that he’d be extended soon and as more and more of the Orioles prospects have come up and performed well the list of guys to extend keeps getting longer and longer and yet not one member of the Orioles core has been extended. So…

Save Me Gunnar Henderson
The Red Sox came into their series against the Orioles on a 3 game losing streak with all their best hitters ice cold at the plate and their ace pitcher coming off a disappointing (by his standards) first start of the season. They left yesterday on a winning streak, with their top hitters red hot…
