I feel like it might have been a bad idea to hand the world over to sociopaths

Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

Ok, but can I make them fall in love???? That's what I really need to know

Watching the Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave direct and blaze arts do what now?

Watching the Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave direct and blaze arts do what now?

great way to describe why Elias fails, is that baseball creates the numbers, but it doesn't run on numbers. It really feels like there is no baseball mind helping to making decisions for this team. Letting the game on field be played by algorithms over humans is never gonna succeed.

Hard Knocks is gonna be so fun

We are in for a treat!

The Orioles press corps seems to have done a fine job but here is the question I would like Elias pinned down on: When do you believe the Orioles will be ready to contend for a World Series championship?

Mike's non-answer sucks (though tbh I don't think there's anything he could say that wouldn't make me angry), but damn @kylegoon.bsky.social thanks for asking

Andy Kostka@afkostka.bsky.social · 2d ago

.@kylegoon.bsky.social asked Mike Elias why the fans should believe in him to lead the Orioles out of this current mire. "Baseball is very, very humbling and it doesn't go linearly," Elias said. Elias' answer, below:

Well, thankfully I have my kickboxing class tonight. Gonna be visualizing a certain smug ivy leaguer

Mike Elias staying on brand at the deadline, I see. I just would really like to hear his honest plan because the extensions gave us so much hope and now it's like "lol jk"

Tangential to your point, I'm thinking most the Orioles rage seems like a culmination of past crimes than hatred of the deal particulars.

Well, the Mariners are undefeated in August

Oh my God Julio 😭😭😭😭

JULIOOOO my goodness 😭😭😭😭 this is how you make a fan for LIFE

Base? Ball? What's that? I'm just excited about the Seahawks on Hard Knocks and seeing how the Ravens O line looks!

The Circ driver honked at me when I was 2 blocks from home because he felt bad about me walking in the rain. It's a good city

Mere@thatmerecat.bsky.social · 3d ago

Lol no, I just meant I'm soaked through now that I've gotten home

I'm going home, someone tell Albert Suárez I love him

Shareholders are in a tough spot!

Mere@thatmerecat.bsky.social · 3d ago

Are they calling a delay or just calling the game? They've got to be saying it's over, right? Got through enough innings to not have to reimburse us, right?

Albernaz lost me when he didn't stick up for Gunnar on that bullshit out of the baseline call in Toronto. That was absolutely worth getting tossed and he just smirked in the dugout. What a turd. #Orioles #FireElias #FireAlby

The guy has no juice Doesn’t stand up and protect his players Terrible at talking with the media/ can’t stand having his poor decisions questioned Weird feud with Basallo Can’t adapt to players not being what he predecided they were Useless!

He speaks for the people, who are also dejected & despondent & downcast

The real heroes though

I'm SO done with Craig Albernaz

The Dishwasher (a baseball blog)@thedishwasher.bsky.social · 3d ago

Second time this game they’ve made us pitch in the rain and then called a delay for the Phillies Our manager should be out there losing his shit but it’s all chill on our side fuck us over all you want brotha

Make one of them pitch and one of them catch in the rain for the next couple of hours

chirping bird@chrpngbrd.bsky.social · 3d ago

fucking embarrassing, please fire Mike Elias and Alby yesterday.

Pittsburghs manager just got ejected for arguing that his pitcher shouldn’t have to pitch in the rain No chance we see Craig Albernaz stand up for one of his players like that

This is bullshit their making Big Al pitch in this mess

This team doesn't appreciate Big Al enough

Oh now that the rain is going again you bring him in

When will my husband, Albert Suárez, return from the sea?

WHERE IS HE

Mere@thatmerecat.bsky.social · 3d ago

When will my husband, Albert Suárez, return from the sea?

You can blame a lot of people for the Orioles being bad but it’s always actually Mike Elias’ fault

When will my husband, Albert Suárez, return from the sea?

The small child Philly fan behind me is like "Gunnar is the best player on the Orioles"
