Steve Melewski just said on the radio (paraphrasing) “some members of the national media, I’m not gonna mention any names, said the Orioles were bad for baseball, and now they’re running breathlessly to the Orioles clubhouse for quotes”

Neither the Orioles nor the Yankees won the World Series this year but the O’s have the
#2
pick in the draft next year while the Yankees are buried somewhere deep in the 20s wow you just really really hate to see it
The Orioles might get knocked out in the ALDS. The Orioles might run into a new version of the 2014 R*yals in the ALCS. The Orioles might lose Game 7 of the World Series.
Whatever happens, this season has been a hell of a ride. And this is just the beginning.
FIRE. ME. UP.
OFFICIAL: We've acquired OF Sócrates Brito from the
@Padres
in exchange for Minor League OF Rodrigo Orozco.
To make room on our 40-man roster, OF Dalton Pompey has been transferred to the 60-day IL (concussion).
Gf: what’s wrong
Me: nothing
Gf: okay
Me: it’s just that the Orioles have the first pick in the draft and they might pass on Adley Rutschman even though he’s regarded as the best draft prospect since Bryce Harper and you don’t even care
2021 AL East report…
Rays: did not win World Series
Blue Jays: did not win World Series
Yankees: did not win World Series
Red Sox: did not win World Series
Orioles: did not win World Series, have
#1
pick in next year’s draft
Klay Thompson winning the ESPY for comeback player of the year over Trey Mancini might be the biggest crock of shit of all time. ESPN is such a massive joke.
King Félix gave up 1 HR in April.
King Félix gave up 1 HR in May.
King Félix gave up 1 HR in June.
King Félix just gave up his first HR in July in a game that ultimately means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Joke’s on the rest of MLB, he got it out of his system.
I honestly can’t stop smiling. I’ve been alive for 26 years and had never seen an Orioles pitcher throw a no-hitter. Until today. I know many of you are in the same boat. What a feeling.
Pro tip: if you want to go to a baseball game but you can’t find anybody to go with you, then go by yourself. I’ve done it many times and it’s very enjoyable.
Very few of us wanted the O’s to draft Heston Kjerstad in 2020.
Very few of us wanted the O’s to draft Colton Cowser in 2021.
Very few of us wanted the O’s to draft Jackson Holliday in 2022.
We sure are glad the Orioles picked each of them now. Let’s have ourselves a draft.
1) his role is to back up literally Adley Rutschman
2) he has excelled in that role
3) his teammates love him
4) he handled the pitching staff well
5) the Mets are paying him more than the Orioles
6) the Mets have a combined .643 OPS from the C position
7) shut up dork
The only thing that made me sad today was that Tyler Wells, Ryan McKenna, and others who made big contributions to help the O’s get to this moment weren’t around to participate in the celebration. So shoutout to them.
I know this has been all over twitter today, but I haven’t shared it yet, so here we are. Happy anniversary. To this day, the coolest single moment I’ve ever experienced at Camden Yards. Can’t wait for playoff baseball to return to Baltimore

The entire baseball world is talking about Kevin Brown’s suspension and I have not seen a single person who even remotely agrees with the decision. Not a single person. Except, of course, the dork ass loser that actually handed out the suspension.
It’s a shame all those Yankees fans left the stadium. Adley Rutschman now holds the Orioles records for doubles as a catcher. They could’ve witnessed history today.
We’re now 18 games into a 22 game stretch against teams .500 or better, including four teams in first place.
The O’s have secured at least a .500 record in those games with four left to play.
No longer are these games a test for the Orioles. They’re a test for everyone else.
Real Fan Dan just did his customary “R-A-V-E-N-S RAVENS” chant and then followed it up with, not a shirtless edition, but an O’s t-shirt under his jersey and led an “O-R-I-O-L-E-S” chant. A true legend.

Somehow I missed this earlier, but this could not have been said more perfectly, more eloquently than Gary said it. Be patient and enjoy the experience for what it is.

DL Hall shuts down Yankee Stadium and your 2022 Baltimore Orioles have won their 81st game, guaranteeing their first non-losing season since 2016.
Fire. Me. UP.
I honestly respect the balls on Alex Cora to insinuate that the Orioles may have been stealing signs last night considering
a) the Red Sox were using PitchCom
b) Chris Sale sucks
c) Cora was literally suspended for a year due to his involvement in a sign stealing scandal
