I’ve reached my saturation level with McAfee.

Annual reminder that the people that cover the MLB Draft are incredible. They have insights on nearly all of the ~600 kids that are picked from all over the country. Makes the whole thing so accessible and interesting to a baseball fan (like me) that has no idea who any of these players are.

Pinch hit homers are sick

@tyleryoung.bsky.social just released this one laying out the dilemma the O's are facing in the month ahead: open.spotify.com/episode/7Gyk...

The Orioles needed their offense to do good things this year and until lately it wasn't coming through. Our @tyleryoung.bsky.social writes about how important it is for Mike Elias that things come together and stay together for this group of bats:

It's a steep hill for the Orioles to climb to get back to contention. Our @tyleryoung.bsky.social writes that it's going to take a lot more from the offense to get them there:

It's taken til June to get here, but maybe the Orioles are finally, sorta, maybe competitive? Our @tyleryoung.bsky.social writes about what's gone differently in the last week-plus:

Well done

All the Orioles offense needed to get going was an automatic runner on second base to begin the inning.

Heck of a shut down inning, Dean

The Orioles weren't supposed to be historically bad against left-handed pitchers this year but that's where they are so far, and as our @tyleryoung.bsky.social writes, there's not an easy fix for the problem:

If the Orioles were actively trying to make Birdland miserable, that wouldn't look a whole lot different from the baseball they've played in April. Any reason to hold on to optimism? Our @tyleryoung.bsky.social tries to cling to some belief:

With the way the Orioles rotation has been, they haven't had many low-scoring games this year. The offense hasn't been scoring much either. They finally won a pitcher's duel (of sorts) with Thursday's 2-1 win. Recap of some lovely totals:

Brian Roberts is pretty good on these broadcasts.

Norfolk got rained out and everybody who played, lost. A bummer in the Orioles system yesterday! Notable from Chesapeake: Trevor Rogers started rehab, and Braxton Bragg (not the Confederate general) had a nice AA debut.

Look, it’s bad. But it’s not THAT bad.

It's only ten games into the season, but is it time to be worried about the Orioles? Our Tyler Young has seen enough to have some concerns. You probably have too!

Nothing like the Orioles scoring eight runs in a blowout win to chase away the gloom for a little while. Sugano got his first win, Holliday got three hits, and the O's beat the Royals, 8-1. Recap:

Dong bong got swiped at Customs

Seranthony Domínguez scares me. I think the fact that he is pitching in this game shows me that he scares Hyde too.

This game is very fun! These Orioles are probably going to be very fun! I fear these Blue Jays may also be pretty bad.

Another 30/30 season for Ced, eh?

The Phillies have been struck out 12 times so far today. They have only recorded 15 outs.

Letting Berrios face the Orioles a third time feeeeels like a bad idea.

This lineup is just ridiculous. lol

If they held Cy Young voting right now, Zach Eflin would win it. What a stupid thought. Posting it anyway.

lol O'Neill is magic!

Eh, don't love running there. But it had to be a perfect throw, and it was.

Got Mountcastle with the final pick in my fantasy draft. Steal.

Tony! My heart.

Yeah, I'm thinking we're back

Oh, so the first pitch time was just a lie then

Come and join the Povich Posse. Once we have enough members we will vote on a new name.

Mike Elias is building the rotation of an 85-win team. He is banking on Bradish coming back late, G-Rod ascending, and maybe a solid in-season move, in addition to fielding a Top 5 offense. Those things (all possible!) make them a 90-win (or so) team. The dude refuses to take big swings.

Finally the CUM Bowl is real

I mean I guess we're doing this. Orioles (not twitter), wya?
