Ok, this sucks but is better than the alternative of trying to hurt the player. Hope Sanchez is ok.

While playing BG3 the Orioles got a fun comeback win and my favorite sports team, the San Antonio Spurs, won to go to the NBA finals. So I guess what I need to keep doing is clear.

lol

Decided to try this and am 5 hours into still deciding what class to use.

Pete Alonso at the start of 2026, before he makes some changes and ends up with his picture in grandmas' living rooms.

Given both homers were on fastballs up, I'm curious if Rogers did a better job keeping the ball down until the 7th.

But how cool would it have been if Cowser had caught that, huh?

Pete with *another* opposite field home run.

Unlike the Rays, the Blue Jays have a good defense.

Voth has thrown like 20 consecutive pitches out of the zone?

Sac fly was better result, but Sammy also swung at three pitches out of the zon.e

If the foul poles were shifted 10 feet to the left, Mayo would have 20 home runs by now.

So much of the 2026 Faces of Death is extremely on the nose.

Don't love to see challenges out of desperation.

It's only fair for the Blue Jays to take a turn stranding runners.

Mayo!

Great tag

Giving up on sleep after 5 straight hours of coughing.

Ah, the guy with that necklace.

It would be slightly surprising if it was that much of a switch-flip, but it does seem clear the team was not putting the players in the best position to succeed before.

Not great, but less concerning than elbow.

Raised them from .270/.413 to .274/.440 today.

Don't see a lot of starts allowing this many baserunners with only 1 strikeout and only 1 run allowed.

If the O's do have the players talk to sports psychologists one day and they all end up saying "I was friends with Mustard, and it was really weighing on me that he kept losing" it would not be the most out-there athlete thing to have ever happened.

Do pitchers still "scatter" hits these days? Is that expression still used given the changes to the game?

These have been some real George Sherrill innings from Gibson today.

Elias is doing a Mr. Burns impression right now.

Great play on both ends.

Jim Palmer about to tell a story about the team he'd just shutout in 1967 right before he got his first dog, including the pets everyone in that line-up had.

New home run celebration idea; have a puppy run through the dugout.

I swear to god...

Gunnar going for that .300 OBP/.500 SLG season.

All's well that ends well.

Thought Ready or Not 2 was worse than the first one, but Elijah Wood (especially given the ending) was good.

OK, that's enough, shut that down. They were already on some thin ice.

I really love an over-hand curveball.

So, I thing I saw last week that is funny to recall now (and it still holds), is that FanGraphs projects the Orioles to play slightly better than the Rays the rest of the season.

Sammy Basallo!

Ah, the old neighborhood play.

Whew, that was a good (bad) swing to see.

Yeah Baz

I can't see Junior Caminero's name without the Simpsons Canyonero song popping into my head.

Nice to see the inning playing out like this after the Orioles attempted to give away an out. In the second inning.

The Orioles have made a lot of errors this year, but the Rays have made more errors. They just do enough good stuff otherwise.

That first pitch to Cowser was the same location he's homered on twice.

I stopped pitching in softball after getting hit with a comebacker*, couldn't get over the fear. * We, uh, did not wear cups. The umpire ruled the game over on the spot.

Explaining to a friend that the Na'vi are the people, the place is actually called Pandora (or, I guess, Eywa'eveng), by saying "It's not an Asgard situation."

I'm on board for 95% of Avatar: Fire & Ash, but every time they say "Calf Communion" it goes down 1%.

(Enns has walked 11 batters in 16 innings and has been really lucky to have not allowed a home run. DFAing him ranks relatively low on Elias's long list of crimes.)
