another thing that I would like to see happen is a youth lead occupation of Truist Club, turn it into a kids cheer free section.

This analysis from Allen McCallum on #WNST is spot-on, and by far the best breakdown of the current state of the Orioles I've heard. @nestoraparicio.bsky.social #BaltimorePositive #Orioles #Birdland

Alonso has to make that play

Which jerseys did he get? Were they throwbacks? The new City Connect? Who's got the scoop?! #Birdland

Alby can still turn out to be a good, or great, manager, but I think favoring experience would have made a lot of sense considering how disastrous last season was. I thought Bob Melvin would have been a good fit, and was surprised he didn’t appear to get serious consideration. #Orioles #Birdland

CarShield should get their money back on sponsoring the #Orioles defensive alignment.

Anyone know the last time the #Orioles hit 2 grand slams in a game? #birdland

I like this version of Bassitt! #Birdland #Orioles

Of course Ketchup wins today. This crowd is hilarious. #fieldtripday #birdland #orioles

Folks sitting in front on me looked-up Tupac Shakur on one of their phones, and seem to be upset that he’s getting an #Orioles bobblehead #birdland

Wow, what’s gotten into Chris Bassitt?! 2 strike outs and a pop up! And I’ve never heard a crowd so excited by the “make some noise sign” (or by a Gunnar Henderson pop fly) #fieldtripday #birdland #orioles

Taylor Ward, it’s not called babysitting if they’re your own kids. (Kevin Brown backed me up as I typed this). #Birdland #Orioles

Will say this: Roman Anthony and Jackson Holliday were both the first players to speak on the firings of their managers. They handled the moment. The difference: Craig Breslow spoke immediately; Mike Elias spoke several days later in Milwaukee.

I was at Jan 6 and I had much less info than people not on the ground. It’s chaos. The fact that you weren’t getting definitive info quickly actually points to the amount of professional journos there. Many couldn’t confirm anything, thus they weren’t putting out rumors.

The measles outbreak has multiplied on RFK Jr's watch. He is anti-vaccine. Can't rewrite that now.

Considered going to the ballgame today, but glad I didn’t — tuning into the San Francisco feed with Jon Miller broadcasting the game!

#Orioles defense is a problem. I’ve seen quite a few seasons of #orioles baseball, and I don’t remember it ever being this sub-par before. #Birdland

I forgot about Tejada’s streak.

Never change anything.

Congress.gov is breaking, likely due to massive traffic. Switchboards are jammed. Keep it up.

What is not being said enough is that threatening to annihilate a civilization is a guaranteed way to motivate terrorist attacks in perpetuity.

The lives of other human beings are of no value to this man and, by extension, his administration. They provoked a war by pretending it was about liberating a people from a repressive government. Now those same people will be punished by arbitrary deadlines of a war they began.

Let’s GO!!!

I still think of this and wince. Washington County commissioners: rolled over on an ICE detention facility, told residents to pound sand, sent Kristi Noem a two-page email and an awkward group photo begging for $381 million and a presidential visit. Kristi Noem: 👁️ 👄 👁️

You’re telling me the first baseball game of season is tomorrow, and it’s only on Netflix? Rob Manfred is the worst. Baseball needs a real commissioner who’s actually looking out for the best interests of game! When are they giving us legit extra innings back?!

As far practically 100% of Orioles fans should be concerned, adding a “premium club” with a $15,000 minimum membership is downgrade. The MD Stadium Authority gave the #Orioles a fortune with practically no restrictions, asked for practically nothing in return, and this is what we got 🤢 #Birdland

Not a fan of these new Orioles City Connect alternates. Previous version was flawed, but overall was good. These feel like a bunch of random stuff thrown together. If they were going for OPACY design elements, why did choose that bird logo instead of the one that’s used for the weather vanes?

“The out-of-town scoreboard is larger, which caused the removal of the grounds crew shed. That section of fencing is padded.” — Does this mean that space is needed for electronics or signage?

NEW: We dug into the real reason flying has gotten so much worse. And it’s not just bag fees. Thanks to deregulation, the entire business model of airlines has changed. The solution? Nationalize the airlines.
