Leading Off

This was an honest-to-goodness good stretch of baseball from the Baltimore Orioles! And they’re, like 13-10 since the All Star Break. That’s… not a sub-five-hundred stretch of games!!! Is this the part where we get orange slices?

This week is a regular show, meaning Scott is back behind the ones-and-twos. The BEV boys are reunited, and it feels so nice.

 

The Medical Wing

So… do we want any of these guys back? Like, for the reals?

 

This Week on the Twitters

Saddened to hear Don "Groove" Baylor died. One of the nicest men I've known unless you were a middle infielder on a DP #greatloss @Orioles

Scouting report on Tim Beckham: He wears high socks. All that matters.

Call me crazy, but an Orioles reunion would make sense, IMO. https://t.co/FrPwv8DcsI

As @Orioles mark HR # 10K, I think of good friend Joe Durham who hit 4 of those & was first black player for O's to HR. Joe passed last yr. pic.twitter.com/lrHEheAQZS

Around the Bases: Good Baseball Edition

Things haven’t been terrible as of late. The starting rotation has had a single turn of largely decent starts. Things will always be this awesome, forever – right? RIGHT?!

With this new found excitement, we take a trip Around the Bases.

First Base: Starting Pitching that doesn’t suck.

Second Base: The Legend of Tim Beckaham

Third Base: The bullpen is weird. We said it wouldn’t get weird.

Home Plate: Playoffs?! You’re talking playoffs?!

 

 

Dongs After Dark: Part II

With the Orioles’ first trip to the West Coast in the 2017 season, this is our first opportunity (extra-inning games notwithstanding) to set our eyes on some #DongsAfterDark.

This is our favorite O’s Social Media hashtag, and we take full advantage to write some new adult film synopses that might be titled Dongs After Dark.
