The Leeches of Baltimore (2024)

[OfftheBat]

We have the best CC jerseys in all of sports

It's not bad but I prefer the Reds' CC personally

[Dave in Fairfax]

Opinions seem to vary widely. Though I don't particularly like CC jerseys in general, I'd say Baltimore's are rather uninspired and among the worst, down there with the San Diego Ice Cream Salesmen.

It's so nice to beat Baltimore.

It's so nice to beat Baltimore.

YES. They were at thorn in the Nats side when their team was down and the Nats were flying high. Nice to reverse that. Not quite as satisfying with the new owner.

Until they stop the leeching, they remain leeches

As far I can tell they caught up on payments to the Nats?  I am sure something will be worked out on MASN with Rubenstein and the Nats. The former is no dummy.

The Baltimore Orioles encroached on Washington's territory when that family of millionaires, the beer baron Hoffbergers, were given the Browns. Bush league Baltimore Oriole fans of a bush league team.

Orioles demoted Heston Kjerstad, saying they want him to get regular at bats.

This team can't develop anyone anymore who can stick at the major league level

I'm watching the Orioles beat up on the Red Sox in front of a packed house and David Rubenstein in the stands throwing out hats and koozies to the crowd.

Tyler Wells and John Means both heading for UCL surgery. Probably the end of the line for Means who had TJ in 2022

Still 19th in the league averaging 800 more per game than the nats. If Baltimore won’t show up for a winner, can they support a team?

[Senatorswin]

One thing I will say about Baltimore is I think they had the best owner of all-time. When Hoffberger owned the Orioles they had the best organization in baseball, they were always winning and tickets were almost nothing. You could also bring a cooler of beer into the stadium. Ain't the beer cold hon.

Jackson Holiday is back, and he just launched a ball onto Eutaw Street.

Grand Slam on a 0-2 count.

Grand Slam on a 0-2 count.

that's one way to swing defensively to avoid a K.

Orioles calling up Coby Mayo today.  About the same age as Dylan Crews with a .961 OPS in AAA.

Good article on how the Orioles develop and scout for VBA, or vertical bat angle.

I've always said Baltimore does not have the demographics of an MLB market.  But can't blame Baltimore for all the dysfunctional DC sports teams.

they should have sent us Dylan Beavers for Finnegan

It’s funny because Kimbrel and Dominguez and Soto were all in the Phillies pen last year. I think Soto gave up 8 runs one game after the trade.

I actually would like to see the Phillies sign Neris. He’s not a closer though.

Rogers has been bad for the Os since his trade and Eflin now hurt.

Losing 8-1 to the White Sox!!

They had left field open yesterday
