Guess he’s not going to pitch for the Orioles.😜

Don’t think they still have the rights to his baseball services anyhow.
FROM SHAMS:

According to FanGraphs, the Orioles' rotation ERA- is 161 (lower is better). That means their rotation ERA is 61% worse than league average.

That's the worst ERA- in the modern era of baseball (since 1900). Only 21 games in, of course

Attended a live performance last night of Michael Tilson Thomas’s Agnegram. Its themes are derived from the letters of the name of longtime SF Symphony patron Agnes Albert. What a fun piece!
MTT was scheduled to conduct, but had to step aside due to his declining health.😢

Today's concert with the Quatuor Ébène and the Belcea Quartet was fabulous! And they played an arrangement of the te deum from Fauré's requiem as an encore.
