– – –
Leading Off
The Orioles played five games this week (fewer than usual) and only lost three of them! This is a solid week in the 2018 season. Look, we’re not sure what else we can say at this point, and so we’ll present you with a video of Rick Dempsey singing John Mellencamp “classic,” Hurt So Good. Because, really, how else could you describe this season?

Join us for The Drink of the Week. Don’t forget to drink socially with us on Untappd.

This Week on the Twitters
Here is what is happening in the world of Orioles Baseball, in 280 characters, or fewer:

The #Orioles have signed 16-year-old Dominican outfielder Isaac Bellony, a switch-hitter who is 6-foot-1, 180 pounds. He profiles as a center fielder. Bellony received a signing bonus of more than $200,000, which is more than any of the O's intl signings last period.

Manny Machado was traded by the Orioles a *month* ago and *still* has the most Orioles home runs (by 7) and the most Orioles RBIs (by 16). I don't know if this says more about how good he was the first half of this season or how abysmal the entire rest of the team has been.

Duquette: "John Andreoli is a versatile and dependable outfielder who can play all 3 positions. He possesses above-average base stealing, defensive and on-base skills." #orioles

Around the Bases

In an abbreviated week of Orioles Baseball, this is what you find when you go Around the Bases:
First Base
A discussion of Cedric Mullins, and whether his last week is sustainable, and what the ceiling for the Baltimore rookie might be.
Second Base
Alex Cobb had another good week. Is this a thing, or is it a mirage? Is Scott justified in referencing Ubaldo Jimenez?
Third Base
