Sugano had a walk? DFA

Bryan Baker save

Where were you for the Vimael Machín game

113 mph from Mayo, what a beauty. Gunnar's max last season was 113.1

Watching Brandon Young vs Nick Vespi face off is weird. It’s 2 clones of me

Nick Vespi is gone

Awesome that MLB Network doesn’t know how to spell the name of one of the top prospects in MLB

Was not expecting the DJ Stewart revenge game today

I’m a little surprised to see that the general consensus in baseball seems to be that there is zero pressure on the Orioles FO and Brandon Hyde. The roster itself though was mentioned 4 times. www.nytimes.com/athletic/613...

Hilarious offseason

Got this lot for 55$. I think it’s worth more like 300 🫣

What??? Why???

Nick Pivetta has been shot and killed by the Stuff+ update

Maybe I misunderstand how the market works but I’m kinda surprised to see Bader only get 6.25 mil considering the lack of CF options available. Makes me think maybe we shouldn’t be looking to trade Ceddy

Stuff+ is updated! Max Bay @choicefielder.bsky.social, between his jobs with MLB teams, along with Owen McGrattan and Matt Dennewitz @mattdennewitz.bsky.social worked hard to bring the metric back into top of the class. Find it @fangraphs.com www.fangraphs.com/leaders/majo... A thread.

Civ 7 early access opens at midnight but I have to work tomorrow

He just can’t resist can he

Heston Kjerstad YOU are a… permanent Norfolk Tide?

So are Carlson and Laureano just gonna have a “guy who used to have promise” battle in spring training

I wasn’t dying for the Orioles to bring back Flaherty, but considering their rotation it’s a head scratcher that they couldn’t beat 2/35

If you fuse Mountcastle and O’Hearn’s splits from 2023 you get a 500 PA hitter with a 140 wRC+, good for 10th best in the league. This begs the question, should the Orioles invest in player fusion technology?

Post Dylan Carlson OOPSY Projections for Team fWAR Leaders (hitters only) 1. BAL: 32.08 2. ATL: 31.83 3. NYY: 31.59 4. LAD: 30.87 5. HOU: 29.41

I guess Dylan Carlson makes sense as a defensive replacement with potential for us to fix him… but man Kjerstad is NEVER seeing the field is he? And who does Mateo replace when he comes back? Can Mayo ever even get called up?

Wish I lived in the universe where Pedro Severino could block a John Means curveball in the dirt

I can’t believe people will tell you with a straight face that the the issue with MLB FA is that the players are too greedy and not the owners

Going to Cactus League instead of Grapefruit this spring training so I had to pick up some “blend in” jerseys

Would I trade the Orioles value menu in exchange for an ace? I’m less sure than I would like to be

I know the Orioles camp never leaks anything, but man there has been ZERO trade buzz lately around the league it feels like

Okay seeing Tony in a Blue Jays uniform hurt more than I thought it would

This classic tweet can also be applied to the Dodgers’ offseason

Will Baltimore sports ever make me anything but sad? This and more at 11

Pain

Starting to seem like the Padres are gonna offer me a dev job, but I’d be taking a huge pay cut from what I currently make. Decisions, decisions…
