We often make the mistake of thinking people are stationary and incapable of movement, growth, or change (some are, don’t get me wrong). What we need to understand is that the journey of becoming often lasts a lifetime.

On a day lots of Christians frown upon, I find myself (also a Christian) doubling down on the fact that Halloween is fun, inclusive, and joyful. Not everything is demonic, folks.
I saw this quote shared elsewhere by @michaelfrost6.bsky.social, and I agree completely.

Would be wild, if so! Only a two hour flight, so props to him if that’s the same person. But also: what the hell? 😂

While I’d prefer the #Orioles sign Bregman to play third, I wouldn’t be opposed to Bellinger. However, I feel the latter creates even more of a logjam at 1B/DH (Basallo, Mayo, Adley, Mounty), so he’d need to play mostly OF. That being said, please sign (or trade for) starting pitchers. #Orioles

The first season tactics alone make me think he should be the number one choice. He won Manager of the Year the following season. Yes, the team did backslide the following seasons, but that cannot all be put on Kapler, as this is just the way things go.

Dope thing here at T-Mobile (and I’m assuming other places) is that employees give out baseball cards to kids. They also have a “Take One, Leave One” section. My oldest got a pair of Birdland’s finest. #orioles

One more time at T-Mobile Park. Feels pretty fun to be at a game and have zero nerves or expectations.
Bonus: $10 since they’re playing the Rockies.
