Actually, pigeon is less tougher than oriole, but you have to
marinate it a good twelve hours before cooking.

[Frayed Knot]

O's score a lot but their pitching isn't holding up their end, mostly because of multiple guys on the IL
Trevor Rogers was their big deadline pickup as they attempt to remedy that issue.

[Lefty Specialist]

Rogers can be nasty and is much better than his 2-11 record.

Rogers can be nasty and is much better than his 2-11 record.

Nastier than Steve J. Rogers? I don't think so.

[kcmets]

Stevie Jeets has some filthy stuff.

Orioles lead MLB in HRs (even with Camden Yards no longer being the HR paradise it's been since its inception), are 3rd in RS/G,
2nd in OPS and tops in OPS+, and, unlike the Yanx who lead in OPS, their's is spread around more evenly.
So that's a pretty tough two thru six in their lineup:
Rutschman (118 OPS+), Henderson (167), Santander (136), Mountcastle (110), Jimenez (154 tho in limited playing time)
and then there's Jackson Holliday batting 9th with a mere 624 OPS but 869 in 67 PA since his recall.

And yet they're under .500 since July 8th [16 - 19]

I'm looking forward to this series, especially seeing Baltimore

Will you be photographing both kinds of birds?

I like that the Orioles kept this logo.



I'm glad that the O's didn't "angry up" the logo, as is the modern trend. I like those old 50s and 60s friendlyish less-threatening looking logos.

I miss these, too:

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, that last one is a bit problematic.

[batmagadanleadoff]

But that smile.

[ashie62]

Wahoo had his moments

LGM!

Dodgy weather

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Kabluuum

[Edgy MD]

A quick lead. Let's build on it.

[ashie62]

Two quick runs

Awesome!!

[Frayed Knot]

btw, the name of the Baltimore CF is Colton Cowser, not Cowtipper as the lineup above suggests.
That would indeed be a tough handle to live down.

[Edgy MD]

Austin Slater now with his third team of 2024.

[metirish]

Kingston the kid-caster is too freaking cute

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah he's great. Looking forward to the pbp
