They may anyway. They can't keep him over Mounty and there's not room for him.

Keegan Akin reached out to Jason Adam to tell him now much he admires him for not being willing to wear a Pride jersey. #KeeganAkinFacts

Samuel Basallo was 10-1/2 months old when Justin Verlander made his major league debut (July 4, 2005). π #Orioles #Birdland

made up for it with that catch wow #Orioles #Birdland
Jeff in Texas π₯ (@jts65.bsky.social)
Just an awful AB there, by both Cowser and the umpire. Ump completely missed the first strike call (it was 6" outside, easily), and then Cowser apparently was the only person watching who didn't know Verlander would drop that curve in for strike three. Ugh. #Orioles #Birdland

I don't know how many times I have to say it: Dean Kremer is the most inconsistent starter in baseball. When he's good he's terrific but when he's bad (like tonight) he is complete ass. #Orioles #Birdland

For the record, I was on a military base earlier this week, and that Trump picture (minus the words, of course) was the one displayed on the command walls. It's literally the dumbest possible "presidential" portrait. What an unfunny joke he is, and what a joke he's making our country.
Jeff in Texas π₯ (@jts65.bsky.social)
The Senate could have saved us all the trouble by refusing to confirm this addled charlatan, but they are all so inexplicably scared of Trump that they cater to his every whim. I will never, ever understand this mindless fealty.

I spent almost half my life in Florida, including several years in St. Pete, but the critical time was 1977 when we had Bucs season tickets (I later had them again 1998-2009, even after I moved away). I was hooked. Living in Texas now but have seen the Bucs twice in Houston. Go Bucs!

I know! I'm a Bucs fan, not Ravens, but I can appreciate it! Also hockey is soon enough.

Makes sense. I lived in NoVa in the '80s and knew a lot of Sox fans. I didn't inherit my dad's fandom (he was fickle and we didn't get along well besides) but my son inherited mine!

I was off by one day with my mop reference. I thought today was the last game of the series because in the schedule that MASN always shows, the week starts on Monday rather than Sunday, and I always misread it. π

Three absolutely pitiful ABs after Gunnar's double. The non-strike third strike on Mounty really set the tone. Mayo is useless. #Orioles #Birdland

I put zero stock in anything Nightengale says or writes β he's nearly always wrong. I do think Adley goes but not till the deadline next year, unless he figures it out. Drafting him over Witt was right at the time but... well, we wouldn't have Gunnar either so IDK. #Orioles #Birdland
