Is Basallo already the O's best hitter?
Is Basallo already the O's best hitter?
Looms stroked him off good
Rogan passes out and drowns after getting into the cold plunge tub too quickly.
Also, the '84 O's...what a shitshow. 26 WAR from Cal, Eddie, Boddicker, and Storm Davis. The rest of the team was dogshit.
2 RPs finishing in the top 3 is bad enough, but Cal only garnering 1 down ballot vote is absurd
Somehow never noticed that in spite of Cal following up his '83 MVP season with an MLB best 10 WAR season in '84 he only ranked 27th in MVP votes?

The thing about being a leftist is that a fake leftist will say that it’s not leftist to like sports while every real leftist will talk about the season Melvin Mora hit .340 for the Orioles
Gotta think Rogers is the next to sign an extension
Trevor Rogers will start the All Star game next season
Such a gift that the best news we’ve gotten in two years also has a “Yankees blew it” kicker.
Belichick is in thrall to some Lovecraftian Elder god which imbued him with dark magik powers
Credit where due to special smartypants whiz boy genius Mike Elias. Between this and the pitching development he may have just done enough to save his job for a lil while longer.
Sounds like he decided to 'focus easy'. Thanks for the advice, Dempsey!
O's completed a 4 game sweep of the BJs. Palmer got chased in the 5th, but Sammy Stewart came in with 4 solid relief innings. Bumbry, DeCinces, and Kiko Garcia each had 3 hits. Eddie and Demper dingered www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BAL/BA...
Preferably whichever division the O's get placed in, so I don't have to take them seriously any longer
Rather than new expansion franchises, just buy out the Savanah Bananas and another banana ball team. Make one of the divisions play banana ball rules
Procrastinated on grocery shopping all weekend. Fortunately, there is always the protein rich, loving embrace of canned chicken
Absorb noise as well
Just more fodder for the hitting coaches and analysts to eff up
Chris Coons, he of the 'let's wrap up J6 impeachment hearings cause I need to get home for Valentines Day' is only 61
Mike Elias during the Winter Mike Elias in April Just kidding...Mike Elias always thjnks he's a genius regardless of results
The juice from that sarcophagus they opened up a few years ago
Fitting this lineup hits a little league HR considering they're swinging the bats like little leaguers
Philly, Albuquerque, Copenhagen, Bern, Auckland
This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.
Admonish the Machine
[Listening to The Terror episodes of Duncan's French Revolution pod] hope springs eternal...
Why does every Jeep have a dash covered with 50 rubber duckies? Is it some sort of fellow pervert signaling, like swingers and pineapples?

Who Elias is providing Mansolino with to play the outfield is grounds for immediate dismissal. This is incompetence outweighed only by arrogance.
Just do dips, bros
Furthest I've been: N: Amsterdam S: Key West, FL E: Munich W: Gallup, NM Really need to expand my horizons south and west
Sad to think that a postseason rotation of Rogers-Kremer-Morton could have been quite serviceable if the offense was consistently strong
Did anyone follow up to ask if she considers someone fucking kids to constitute 'wrongdoing'
Elias is probably gonna promote Basallo but demote Mayo lol
Must've killed Elias to not be able to draft Jacob Wilson, seeing as he's Jack's son
Statistically, it looks like an additive move on paper. But he was such an exasperating shitheel during his brief time with the O's that I want nothing to do with him ever again. Ultimately, I want to be able to root for the guys on my favorite team. Not just have to abide their presence.
Having $30m evaporated in crypto, and causing your supermodel wife to leave because you won't retire a year sooner certainly is setting a great example for the kids of what not to do
Miller's singular focus is immigration. I think a left-Miller would have a singular fixation on destroying Fox News specifically, and right-wing media in general. Other option would be to destroy Musk specifically, and money in politics generally.
HOU balked at including INF Cord Weaver
Obviously the Jays were not going to keep going at a 101-win pace or whatever, because they are a good team and not a great team, but also, wow, that's a brick wall
Tired: the O's scoring a shit-ton of runs is cool Inspired: the O's destroying the BJs pen over two games in 18hrs is cool
Abolish mlb replay review
Shameful absence @coons.senate.gov @bluntrochester.senate.gov An absolute disgrace to not join this.
I'm not dancing on it. I'm pissing on it.
Not a movie, but I've been working thru Letterkenny on Hulu, and I'll end up laughing so hard I'll miss a half dozen jokes
“the party being led by jeffrey epsteins best friend wants to repeatedly examine your childs genitals” is a true statement
Someone nominated Peter Strzok in another thread on this topic
Coby Mayo starts off the 2nd half on the bench. Because what the O's were doing in the 1st half was so successful you wouldn't dare try something different. Gotta have Urias' bat in the lineup, no doubt
Anyone who uses that Grok waifu thing needs to be humanely euthanized
Need to convince the Q folks that it's a clone of Trump who is covering up the Epstein files. The real Trump has been abducted by the deep state and is being held at an ICE detention facility, and they need to free him
Asking any MAGA i come across 'Why is Trump protecting elite Democrat sickos like Bill Clinton'?
1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows How did the city do it? Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue
Skubal obviously a bum. If the Tigers want to contend they'll need a lefty who can get guys out. Like Trevor Rogers.
And Fiona Shaw for Maarva's eulogy
Coby Mayo watching from yhe bench today, daydreaming about hitting 4 dingers in a game vs the O's next season
Our MLB Draft live blog is now ... uh, live, and has a very wild rumor out there about Baltimore trying to buy someone down to pick 19: bit.ly/4kC2y3F
‘I’m here cutting the ribbon for this new Wegmans in my district folks and they have everything here. Well, except for the Epstein files.”
I really think if the Dems threw the Clinton's under the bus for Epstein they would get saddam election numbers lol
Can't get thrown out on the basepaths when you hit the fuckin ball over the fuckin fence. Gunnar understands
Lads, you ain't good enough to be dicking around like fleas on the basepaths. Kangaroo Court time for Westy and Jackson
Nonetheless, a good bit of business for the O's with 4 picks in the top 40 of the draft now
Mike Elias realizing he can't package all those picks to move up and draft Ethan Holliday
The bare minimum for the 2028 candidate: - Pack the Court - bring back J6 and docs cases (they were dismissed without prejudice!) - Bribe takers and bribe makers jailed - DHS abolished This is the Wide Awakes minimum. You can quibble about timing and sequencing, but these have to happen.
It's not the current tipping point, but it is insanity that Maryland Dems have not redistricted Andy Harris out of Congress
The Royal Tenenbaums Or, any Wes Anderson movie for that matter
Important statistical research by @jmjournalist.bsky.social, classifying all of 96 Earl Weaver’s ejections for his great bio, The Last Manager
Half of it is likely to disappear via various graft schemes, so they'll never have the chance to direct it to actual operations
There will be another charismatic, reactionary, morally vacuous entertainer for the right to glom onto. A former NFLer or UFCer probably. President Tom Brady?
[reposing from twitter] July 3, 1863: overrated Robert E Lee orders an incredibly stupid direct frontal assault over an open field covered by overlapping fields of artillery fire confederate infantry gets shredded by fire from all directions, attaining >50% casualties in less than an hour
Turning into a single issue voter for 2028, where the issue is which Democratic candidate will vow to nominate the most rabidly partisan, vengeful and hate-filled AG you can possibly imagine
every democrat who is spreading lies about mandani is openly collaborating with fascists here. if you're just "asking questions" or have "concerns" you are a useful idiot
A part of this bill that hasn't gotten enough attention is that it includes over $162 BILLION in surplus funds for DHS, ICE, and Trump's lawless, anti-immigrant agenda. It's so outrageous that even the Republican(!) chair of the Homeland Security Committee opposes these extra funds. Insane.
Real test of values for Andy Harris' HFC: vote against expanding the debt by trillions vs vote for expanding the fascist police state they so badly want
One does not have to hand it to him... But! Goldwater's 'extremism vs moderation' framing is something the left and dems could and should adopt
still kind of enjoying The Bear but I think we as a people deserve a prestige TV show about a Waffle House instead of this fine dining bullshit
Any idea what Krasner's ambitions are?
Al Franken's gotta have a house in NY somewhere, right?
More of this from Democrats, please. Education is a winning issue for Democrats as long as we fight for public schools.
Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.
Yankee Fans welcome Ted Cruz to New York. Proud of my homies!
Someone saw the new Toxic Avenger trailer and got an idea
Lookin like it could be a stillshot from the Black Hole Sun music video
Orioles owner
Looks like Rubio just farted and Pete is worried Trump is gonna blame him
Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think
amtrak’s marketing team gets it
Vibrating so intensely you wobble the Earth off it's axis and turn summer into autumn, sparing us of these upcoming 100 degree days. 🫡
Maryland Dems could put Andy Harris out of a job anytime they so pleased. Thus, my only conclusion can be that they actually like him
I, for one, salute the Sec for having the guts to take a proper gager of fent to the dome. Unlike so many other cops who have a panic attack at the mere mention of the stuff.
