Brandon Young's near perfect game was fun. His immaculate inning was fun. But I'm ready to have him in the pen.

Dietrich Enns and Rico Garcia have saved what would otherwise have been an unwatchable bullpen for the Orioles.

Ugh...I've been an Orioles fan since the mid-90s and I don't think I've hated a team as much as this one. Why do I continue to torture myself by watching them everyday?!?

Is it just me or is that Switch2 patch on the Mariners' uniform way too big and distracting?

I think I've definitely seen enough of Corbin Martin...who is the next terrible pitcher to get a chance to blow games???

Adley may not be ready to return but Basallo sure looks ready (at least offensively). I sure hope he's promoted when O'Hearn is dealt and given a chance to hit everyday down the stretch.

The Rockies are 26-76. The Orioles were up 4-0 in the second. Those are facts. And if they lose this game (which they look very likely to do) that is arguably more embarrassing than any of their blowout losses this year.

Can we admit that while the Sugano experience was fun the first couple months and he was the lone bright spot, the league has figured him out and he shouldn't be starting anymore?

Wow is this Orioles team hard to watch sometimes. I swear, they play better just long enough to taunt us so they can disappoint us all over again....

I don't get it. Why take out Morton at 84 pitches when he's throwing well and the Rays aren't hitting his? Particularly given the pen is tired...

I am taking one for the team. I have Littell on my fantasy team. Whenever I don't start a SP against the Orioles he dominates and when I do, he tanks. I'm starting him...take note, Orioles!

The Orioles are at least playing better and putting up a fight, but sadly the winning streak ends here. Baker and Akin didn't do their jobs, but that bottom of the order was a rally killer as well.

Anybody play fantasy baseball? Need a SP to stream? Literally anyone starting against the Orioles will give you more Ks than innings pitched and an outing guaranteed to lower your team ERA. Follow me for more fantasy baseball advice. Lol.

In 2023, the Orioles constantly found new ways to impress me and make me more and more confident in them (until the postseason at least). In 2025, the Orioles constantly find new ways to disappoint. Honestly, if the collapse wasn't so damn depressing it would be impressive.

Congratulations, Orioles. You've managed to take a fan that watches every inning of every game and make him (me) disengaged in the team before the end of May.

You know it's bad when Morton gives up 3 runs in 4 innings and his ERA went down.

This season is feeling way too much like 2017 for my liking.

Of course Westy and Adley are hurt and Mullins is sick. Of course. Though at this point does it even matter?
Mullins illness, Westburg sore hammy, Rutschman sore right hand

We knew the rotation had issues... particularly with Eflin and Grayson on the shelf, but this was supposed to be a good offense, right? Like they are supposed to be able to score runs. Am I missing something?

Good news...for now. Until he has another set back. At this rate, who do we think we see on the mound at Camden Yards first? Grayson or Bradish.
Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez has a mild lat strain, Brandon Hyde said. Rodriguez will begin throwing again in a couple weeks.

Aren't the Orioles paying Chris Davis his deferred payments? Maybe it's time to activate him to pitch? In his 3 career innings he has only allowed one run and struck out 3. A 3 inning, one-run outing would be refreshing to see at this point.

I'm so tired of the Orioles being bad. I'm a Millennial so I got to see them be good for a couple years (96-97) when I first became a fan. Then crap until 2012-2016. Then more crap until 2022. I was hoping for a longer stretch of good this time around...alas, here we are.
