Number of Orioles games I’ve attended per season since I started keeping track 2023: 17 2024: 15 2025: 4 2026: going for 3rd (and final?) time tonight for a work thing I am 2-0 this season - weekday afternoon game in the first week of the season and Bark at the Park when Holliday hit a grand slam

ok Baltimore

Can someone break down these back and forth trades for me, just focusing on the final outcome? I think it means we basically gave up Baker, Wells, Caleb Bodine and de Brun’s signing bonus for Baz Forret ultimately ended back with us, the pick that turned into de Brun ended back with Tampa

The Orioles aren't done selling. Right-hander Tyler Wells is being traded to the Rays, source confirms, and as @JeffPassan naturally had first. Wells has another year of team control. He has done well as a reliever in multiple situations. 2.67 ERA this year

The Orioles will leave Baltimore before there’s ever another statue behind the bullpens No chance a player stays long enough to go into the Hall of Fame as an Oriole

Thought this was about Mike Elias and was nodding in total agreement

Joe Stieb@joestieb.bsky.social · 3d ago

He is stupid, he’s cruel, he’s ignorant, he’s bigoted, and i’m tired of being gaslit about him.

Maybe the Royals will give us Bobby Witt Jr for the guys we just got from the Red Sox

Kevin Brown reaction shot on the frankly shocking Ben McDonald shampoo information was a great production decision

Rain is about 2 batters away

Remember when Alec MacGillis said his kids had it as bad as enslaved Americans in the 1820s or Black South Africans living under apartheid because City College was having virtual classes during Covid while Gilman was going in-person?

Having Dean pitch no more games for us is a win Having him pitch for a team we are chasing in the playoff race is a double win He is the very definition of a AAAA player

With Cano signing and Felix throwing today, the dream of this 2027 bullpen is a couple of big steps closer

Formerly FoxForceFlacco@bmoreorless.bsky.social · 6d ago

I was thinking last night that if Felix and Helsley come back, you have a bullpen that could include: Wells - middle man Cano - 7th Helsley - 8th Felix - Closer Get a couple of actually decent lefties and that’s a bullpen that keeps bringing out 98mph arm after arm

A lot happened in the 7th but don’t want to overlook the good job Cowser did scoring from first on the CES double Very good baserunning, made it look easy, certainly made it an easy send for Britton

Orioles just need to win the next 3 to go 7-3 since Rubenstein said all they have to do to make the playoffs is just go 7-3 every 10 games

The vibes are good again

Love those 6-pitch innings. Great stuff!

Enns = Wolfram Espada = Kittredge Siani = Ward Vazquez = ?? Can’t believe they’d deal Holliday He’s selling for 19-year-old Single-A and DSL guys

Andy Kostka@afkostka.bsky.social · 5d ago

The Orioles transferred the following players from Norfolk to Frederick: LHP Dietrich Enns, RHP Jose Espada, OF Michael Siani and INF Luis Vazquez. That keeps them close to Baltimore ahead of trade deadline

I want a definite statement that the Orioles intend to compete for a World Series … ever Continuing to build for tomorrow while never having to say when tomorrow has arrived is a pretty sweet gig Can’t wait to trade more legit big leaguers for controllable assets that never amount to anything!

I want a definitive statement the Orioles intend to compete for the 2026 World Series It is time. Trading guys that could be a part of that (Baker, Urias) for 2028 lottery tickets should be over So if they package some of these guys in the offseason for MLB-ready talent, fine Otherwise, very bad

A few Ravens training camp thoughts Lamar showed up for offseason workouts and is highly energized There have been no leaked stories in the press saying anything bad about Lamar No player has been publicly shamed or forbidden from practicing because of their performance on a conditioning test

Oh there’s a new Alby meme

This ninth inning double Saturday off a 99 mph heater in a 2-2 tie vs Atlanta is what made me a Holliday believer

after 9 pitches, the batter and pitcher should both earn an extra time out

I feel like Elias and Sig attach additional personal value to their First Round picks - that these guys are special because they said so and will be very hesitant to trade them: Adley, Kjerstad, Cowser, Holliday Then again Adley is their 1st 1st rounder to get this close to free agency so we'll see

Is this a good pitch?

Instead of watching the Orioles I’m going to a movie about a guy whose mistaken belief that he’s smarter than everyone else, despite repeated evidence to the contrary, results in years of misery for those around him even as he survives to experience yet more failures The O-dyssey

In case you’re wondering how David Rubenstein runs some of his other companies

Boycott, Citizens@boycottcitizens.org · last wk.

276 days ago, ICE tapped Carlyle-owned Acentra Health for a $67.5M no-bid contract to process claims for specialty medical services like prenatal care & chemotherapy. DHS said the situation was too urgent to allow competition. Acentra still hasn't started processing claims. 2/2

2 tell-all books I really want to read: Behind the scenes with Harbaugh’s Ravens. What went on in that 2012 showdown with Ed, Ray and Suggs? How did things get so bad after Ray’s retirement and Flacco’s big contract? How much did Lamar hate him? The other is the untold story of Elias’s tenure

This is a move that a winning manager makes A move Alby would never make

Give that man a Gold Glove

Orioles now 9-21 in their last 30 games that were tied after 8 innings That is … unclutch

Why exactly did Garcia pitch the 8th instead of Cano?
