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.

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…

Orioles – Blue Jays Series Recap
What could be more exciting than starting the season with a 4 game split!? The Orioles had an up and down first four games of the season with the offense oscillating between explosive and non-existent on a game to game basis and the pitching staff holding on for dear life. Here are the main takeaways…

Perfect Preseason Predictions (PPP)
I started writing this predictions blog with the intention of very seriously predicting who would win each division and make the playoffs, but about halfway through it I became overwhelmed by how futile it felt to try accurately predict the season with my feeble mind. I thought back to a year ago and realized that…

Early Season Roster Crunch
It takes more than 13 position players to make it through the regular season. At some point during the season several of the guys who don’t make the opening day roster will play for the Orioles and prospects like Coby Mayo and Samuel Basallo will get called up without there having to be any controversy…
