).
Video interview on YouTube.
What a message by Patrick Queen.
“Everybody want to be out here cute playing basketball on grass and everything… you can do all that stuff you’re just gonna get hit in the mouth every play”
The Ravens defense took tonight personally.
These moments always give perspective.
I know Mounty is disappointed with this series from a team & individual standpoint. All you want to do is go home and decompress.
Instead, Mounty stopped and just made memories that these kids will always remember.
He’s a GREAT dude.
Perspective: Os had a situation with a talented rookie back in 1982.
After Opening Day, this rookie was 4 for 55 & was hitting .117 in May.
Os kept him up. He went on to win ROY, 2 MVPs, & have a handsome son in 1993.
For all the reasons above, it worked out.
Davante I don’t think the jets and saints are looking too great right now.
Baltimore is lovely this time of year. Great people. Great culture.
Quarterback I heard is decent too.
Going into today, Felix Bautista was 30th in the American League in Strikeouts.
….he’s the ONLY relief pitcher in the top 30.
Oh and he’s got a sub 1 ERA and 28 saves.
I know it’s been a LONG TIME. This is not being a homer. Bautista Cy Young drum should start to beat
Words can’t fully describe his impact.
Mr. Oriole embodied so much for the City of Baltimore.
Nicest man you could ever meet.
No one could play the hot corner like
#5
. One of the best to ever play the sport.
But above all that, he was even a better man.
Thank you Brooks.
A Statement from the Robinson Family and the Orioles:
“We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Brooks Robinson. An integral part of our Orioles Family since 1955, he will continue to leave a lasting impact on our club, our community, and the sport of

Cole Irvin with a message to Baltimore
"I would love to come back if there's an opportunity, but I think for my career I'd love to start...relieving this year was extremely difficult for me, just to find consistency, and I failed plain and simple, I'm not afraid to admit it"
A lot of people asking if Ice Cube is really an Orioles fan so I guess we’ll ask him…
Ice Cube joins the Ryan Ripken Show LIVE today at 2:00 pm et. Gonna be a good day.
Jacoby Jones will be the Legend of the Game, Cal Ripken Jr. will be the honorary captain, and Jimmy Eat World will perform at halftime of Saturday’s divisional round matchup between the Ravens and Texans.
What a lineup
#RavensFlock
Gunnar Henderson is a man on fire 🔥🔥🔥
462-foot Eutaw Street 💣 is his third HR in the last four games.
This is the Gunnar Henderson we expected to see in 2023
#Birdland
Orioles trade deadline so far
In: Zach Eflin, Seranthony Domínguez, Cristian Pache
Out: Austin Hays, Matthew Etzel, Jackson Baumeister, Mac Horvath
How we feeling, Birdland?
The Os didn’t go out and get an ace in the offseason. They didn’t go out and get one at the deadline.
2 Reasons:
1. You got to let your guys develop
2. The Os had two aces all along 😎
#Birdland
Lot to talk about tonight, which I understand.
But whatever you are feeling, don’t let it take away from how much work this org (players, staff, etc.) has put in.
That group is grinding for the city. They know what this season and team means to the fans.
People care about the team. There are going to be frustrating moments. That’s sports. Part of being a fan.
I get it.
There is ZERO excuse to hope something bad happens to a player for messing up on the field. Period.
This isn’t life or death.
I hope people realize how valuable players like Cedric Mullins and Ryan Mountcastle are to a team.
Teams want them for a reason. You guys know how I feel about them.
Most would mention the tie of Ryan Minor to my dad.
However I had my own connection with Ryan. I had opportunity to play for him in Frederick. He was a guy I loved being around. During a tough time that year, whether he knew it or not, he helped restore confidence in myself as
After a courageous and hard fought battle I’m sad to say that Ryan lost his fight with cancer this afternoon. He truly was the best twin brother you can ask for. His family and I want to thank everyone for the prayers and support during this time. BOOMER SOONER..
Corbin Burnes as an Oriole was a must need.
Joey Ortiz getting regular ABs was a must need.
Both very beneficial.
No regerts. Not even a single letter.
Seeing a lot of debate between going down at the 1 to kneel it out or scoring like Zay did.
What are your thoughts? Team go down or team score the touchdown?
Some people get mad when people say “enjoy the ride”. I’m not saying you have to be happy when team doesn’t play well or you don’t get frustrated.
BUT I hope people realize a season like this is so rare. So special. This isn’t normal.
Gunnar’s 34th home run of the year ties Miguel Tejada and some other guy for the O’s single season record for a shortstop.
I’ve been dying to see this record broken 😂
#Birdland
For those out there where this could help. Let me introduce the 30 minute rule.
You can be mad, ticked off. But after 30 mins. You move on.
Throw it away. Done. On to next one.
Boys are fine
#birdland
.
Context to season. Reminder to enjoy the ride.
(In last full seasons)
Orioles:
2019 54 wins
2021 52 wins
2022 83 wins
2023 84 wins….with a month to go
Appreciate the ride as the turnaround has been quicker & more impressive than people could have hoped
#birdland
Disappointment, frustration, anger are a few words to describe how fans feel.
What stings more is that KC didn’t come into Baltimore and smack the Os. KC executed better in key moments. They made the big play. The Os bats did not.
KC deserves to move on. Congrats to them.
And yes I’ve heard everyone’s complaint about Cedric Mullins.
Ced is my guy. I hate he’s having struggles. But watching what I’ve seen, and knowing who he is, I got all the faith in him pulling through.
Plus Os are winning despite Ced not being Ced.
Hang with him.
Wait... is it true the Ravens wanted to sign and keep Lamar Jackson the whole time? You mean the same headline from before the season, was the same goal now?
I AM SHOCKED.
Was not supposed to be a grad party. But really appreciated surprise.
2014, I stopped college to pursue baseball career & dream.
Since retiring last July, made it my goal to finish what I started in college.
Last month, I graduated. No diploma yet, so cookie cake will do 😉
For own sanity if you are a Ravens fan, let the Lamar situation play out & don’t fall into the daily trap.
Something will be written every single day until it is resolved.
I’m still the optimist. I believe it’s all going to work out. Don’t over-stress…unless you want to.
I know my opinion doesn’t matter. Again new to how baseball works.
Fujinami is an X factor.
And why wouldn’t you want to give a guy every opportunity to continue to figure it out (Which he is starting to do).
He literally can change the whole dynamic of your bullpen.
