He's really not our best player right now—hasn't been for a few weeks. His latest AB was typical. Maybe he needs to clear his head.

Absolutely gutting. Beyond heartbreaking. So much blood on the hands of this evil administration.

Or just throw the slider again that made Witt look silly twice.

No excuse. I’m tired of hearing what a great player he is. Right now he’s pressing beyond belief. he cannot conceive of trusting his teammates to do some of the work.

Gunnar needs to ride the pine for a day. He’s just trying to do way too much. #Orioles

If the #Orioles can score some runs. If. This feels like it could be one of those “turnaround” games. Especially if it’s someone unlikely like Colton.

MAJOR props to Bradish for gutting it out this far when he clearly didn’t have his best stuff. #Orioles

Yeah I’m not getting the Elias hate. Everyone suspected the pitching and it’s actually been better than most expected. The lineup-wide slump on the other hand…

It’s really unreal how bad our top 5 are with two strikes. It’s like they have no idea how to shorten up and make contact.

totally wild pitchers and none of our guys know how to lay off a 3-2 ball #Orioles

Well, that's refreshing. Thanks Taylor! #Orioles

The hitting is not on Mike. It’s on them. And whomever the “hitting coaches” are.

Really interesting watching a team in the other dugout that has a consistent two-strike approach to put the ball and play instead of trying to hit a 16-run homer.

It’s like none of the top 5 in the lineup can ever take a two-strike approach. It’s always fences, fences, fences. So boring.

I’m sorry to say that Colton Cowser turned back into a pumpkin a long time ago and he does not show any signs of changing. The league adjusted to him. He has not adjusted back. Every at bat looks the same. I’d love to be proven wrong but I don’t think I am. #Orioles

It’s very simple. In the middle of other major crises, Americans still felt there was a group of at least semi-competent folks in gov’t who could analyze what was wrong & eventually clean it up.

Nobody has any such hope now. Nobody CAN have confidence in a gov’t led by a narcissistic sociopath.

I’m glad it worked out for him but we are still down a challenge for the rest of the game. Inexcusable. In the second inning?

Stupid, STUPID Challenge. Let it go a d you have a 3-1 count. No big deal.

C'mon Bradish, let's do this!! #orioles

Nine Innings: The Anatomy of a Baseball Game The Anatomy of a Baseball Game

I’m a liberal GenX and if your dad is anywhere near my age he’ll LOVE “Nine Innings” by Dan Okrent. It’s both a micro and macro look at baseball that any fan will enjoy but especially O’s/Brewers fans who knew the 70s/80s teams. A pitch-by-pitch look at one game in 1982. Trust me on this one!

Whatever Means to Call for Trump's Removal, It Is a Tool to Expand Accountability for Iran - emptywheel Democrats are thinking of impeachment all wrong.

Democrats are thinking of impeachment all wrong. It's not, yet, a tool to remove Donald Trump. It's a tool to hold Republicans accountable for refusing to do so.

Tides had a day off today. I’m betting he comes off IL tomorrow.
