I swear Baz would’ve levitated if Pete hadn’t caught him in time

The Orioles are two games above .500 for the first time since 2024.

So, @audacyinc.bsky.social has launched an “original” podcast called “Family Lore,” with a description that’s strikingly similar to my show, “Family Ghosts,” which premiered back in 2017. I’m certainly not claiming to have invented the genre of family storytelling, but…c’mon guys.

Tyler O'Neill you better take your fucking Nyquil or whatever you gotta do, we do not have time for you to be nursing a cold while our pets heads are falling off.

Last year's Orioles were 3-3 on April 2nd, and never got back to .500 the rest of the way. 6-6 on April 8th is...not amazing, but much improved!

Beavers in CF?

Not sure we deserved that win, exactly - but you gotta take what you can get in this mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world.

my god it is a joy to watch Gunnar Henderson play baseball!!!

Amy audio nerds know what the heck kind of mic they’re using at Apple for the Zane Lowe interviews? Is that a custom rig? It looks like he’s talking into a drain pipe.

The Orioles would like you to spend time with your family, today.

Bassitt is throwing beachballs man, this is hideous

O’s remain undefeated at making marginal starters look like Tarik Skubal

...aaaand here comes the velo drop.

Good afternoon, my emotional well-being is currently solid in light of Bradish pumping 97 to the corners. Please note that status will be downgraded significantly in the event that his velocity waivers even a li'l bit. Still healthy I swear.

Good morning, my emotional well-being hinges on whether or not Kyle Bradish holds his velocity for 6 innings today, I am very healthy

Today I'm transcribing a three-hour interview manually. I can see how AI might be useful for this, but I rarely use it for transcription, personally. (Not judging those who do, it's a slog.) Too many errors to clean up, plus I use that time to get to know my own material and mark what I want to use.

I want the sound of the bat on that Basallo Bomb as a notification tone on my phone plz

Were we ever so young

do we think Dean Kremer can be here in time for the top of the 5th

THEN I SAW HIS SWING NOW I’M A BE-LEAVERS

Hello my name is Jeremiah Jackson. All I do is hit.

Fully obsessed with this bird flap celly

::shivers at brutal memories of last season::

I love Dean Kremer as A Guy, but I also can't help being a wee bit excited that we appear to have enough rotation flexibility that we aren't relying on him to chow down on innings. That alone is a huge improvement from last year. Sad for him, but excited for the team. Feels weird!

it's deeply embarrassing that team usa is treating the wbc like a military operation while every other team is just having a lot of fun

I’ve seen enough: to know I’ve seen too much

I’ve seen enough, he’s hitting 50 this season

Definitely spent a lot of time last year watching Bassitt grunt and heave his way through competitive innings and thought, “Man, I wish that guy was on our team.”

To…try and talk him out of signing with the Orioles? Which he has decided to do, and is just waiting until late January to make official, for some reason?

Share what you consider to be a goddess tier album:

“People don’t do this without encouragement from people in power who make them feel like it’s OK.”

A fascinating talk with @marxnick.bsky.social on the show this morning. Always good to reckon with "the millennial urge," especially when it comes to comedy!

So the Sox top 4 is now…Crochet, Gray, Suarez, and Bello? That is…rather intimidating!

The word "podcast" officially doesn't mean anything anymore.

Loved this discussion of the moving and deeply discomforting (complimentary) novel "Moderation" with Savhanna!

Thank you Julia for this fascinating (and galvanizing) conversation!

Jason is one of those music lovers who makes you hear revelatory things in songs you would never have noticed otherwise. I loved this talk!

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

this makes ME want to run through a wall and they haven't even signed Framber yet

Pack it up, team. The best Alonsoskeet has officially been skeeted.
