@TheOneCalledJai We’re still worried about a 28 year old OF that had 6 good weeks his entire career?
Last year it looked to be a wash to the good, now it’s seemingly just a wash.
English
Bump.
So again, I ask… was it worth dumping Kyle Stowers?

Last season was a fluke. This is the Trevor Rogers we’re getting. Get used to it. #Birdland

@tangotiger Feel like Basallo really skewed the Orioles catchers early on. Combined with Rutschman’s defiance in using them.
English
Orioles and Pirates batters doing great, while their catchers not
For the most part, catchers doing much better than batters at challenges
Expect role of batters to continue to be reduced

This guy makes six figures driving people across a bridge they're too scared to drive over themselves.
He charges $40 cash. 10 to 30 clients a day. Some have been paying him daily for years.
He meets them at a truck weigh station, hops in their car, drives them across in four minutes, and gets driven back by his assistant to do it again.
The alternative route takes four hours through Baltimore.
Here's what's wild... and possibly a little concerning:
He said Airline pilots have used his service.
His wife even makes custom eye masks that say "I hate this bridge."
Steven Eskew has been running this business for years and has made tens of thousands of trips. I'll let you do that math.
There's a business for everything. I promise you.

The Orioles have only scored more than 3 runs just Three times in 10 games of May
English
@DanDetwiler4 @greyson09 @PigTownSports Because the conversation was about run production, not OBP. During the stretch i mentioned, he was walked to load the bases 4 times. Only once has a run scored after. He has also K’d in 4 of those situations (3 looking). 8 AB’s to generate runs. Id trade some OBP for some RBI.
English
@JGil050 @greyson09 @PigTownSports OBP still going up… you didn’t include his walks in his last 35 for some reason…
English
Ward
You were brought in to drive the ball
Not be an on base guy and see a 3-2 count every at bat
Let’s start swinging bud
English
@greyson09 @PigTownSports @DanDetwiler4 He is 3 for his last 35 with 14 strikeouts. Many of those looking. That’s quite an aberration.
English
@TheWARmonger_ He made a catch on Tuesday night I believe in RF towards the line, I’ve been wondering what the catch probability was on that one as well. Similar great jump type play…bottom 8 w/ Graham Pauley at the plate
English
Catch of the Day- By the Numbers
Colton Cowser
20% catch probability on this ball, Cowser gets a great break and is able to make the catch while still on the run.
One quick trick to judge the outfielder's jump is to see how fast he's already moving when the camera catches up to him. Most judge a catch by the last half second, but the real value in the first half second of the play.
English
If the O's get back to .500 by, say, June, and the man stays healthy, I say bring me Mike Trout

@bmorelively @editti22 ERA of 22.50 in his last three 1 inning outings. To the original point, it’s been rough.
English
@editti22 He was dominant the first inning. Just use him correctly. One inning at a time time
English
Anthony Nunez has been doggggggggwater the last week.
English
@HogfarmerChris Honestly it was very similar a few years back in Kansas City. Union Station was crazy but the rest of the city really didn’t reap much benefit. Many places ended up just closing over the weekend.
English
A lot of small businesses in Pittsburgh didn’t see support during the draft. Outside the main event area, it felt completely dead, honestly tough to see.
Hope DC takes note and helps direct traffic to small businesses.

@birdlandminute The O’s woes aside…this Reds team is prime for regression. Imagine having those two players shown and still being the absolute worst hitting team in baseball.
English
Orioles and Reds always felt like they were in similar places as a franchise.
Now they are going in different directions with the Reds are on pace for 100+ wins.
Reds made 2 key differences:
- Built through their pitching staff
- Acted quickly to hire a VETERAN manager
Fuzzy@fuzzyfromyt
Sal Stewart is on pace for: 54-HR/174-RBI/42-SB Elly De La Cruz is on pace for: 54-HR/120-RBI/36-SB The Reds are on pace for 108 wins
English
@Kevin1987728052 @_JakeRussell Because then they would have Jayden and Jalon Daniels. It wasn’t that deep
English
@_JakeRussell How? Because you said so? Dude didn’t even get drafted my guy
English
Missed opportunity by Washington...
Jordan Schultz@Schultz_Report
Sources: Kansas QB Jalon Daniels is signing with the #Bucs.
English
@412_Zone @hays_jerry @SeanRossSapp Wait…you think reporters for the major sports DON’T have the means to reach out to the players that get released? You think they just don’t have that access? This is a wild take. It’s news. They report it.
English
AGAIN
#1: THIS ISN'T THE MLB/NFL/NBA & PERFORMER CONTRACTS AREN'T READILY AVAILABLE PUBLIC INFORMATION THAT EFFECTS THE GENERAL PUBLIC'S MONEY
#2: Any "reporter" in WRESTLING media has the means to reach out to a performer regarding their release for CONFIRMATION, additional comment, or any response prior to making it public. They have that right
English
We've never reported a release before the talent is notified.
Timeerased↗@Timeerased
@UndisputedCapo Its not on SRS to tell her first, its on WWE ?
English
@TheWARmonger_ Possibility you could get the catch probability for the Juan Brito double over Blaze Alexander’s head today?
English
Here's the top secret "high home" camera view where you can see how much ground Cowser had to cover: x.com/jcalvinmeyer/s…
Jacob Calvin Meyer@jcalvinmeyer
Watch Colton Cowser get on his horse to make this play. He got a good jump, reached 28.9 ft/sec sprint speed and covered 113 feet to make this catch, which potentially saved the Orioles a run or two in the inning. This play had a 15% catch probability, per Statcast.
English
Great catch yesterday by Colton Cowser, though there's very little video evidence of it (2nd video in comment).
Just 15% probability, Cowser had to cover 109 feet before slamming into the wall.
Jake Rill@JakeDRill
Colton Cowser staying in the game for Orioles. Here's the play, although it's hard to see how it happened on broadcast. Hit the wall pretty hard, but still made the catch.
English
@RoyDelgadosS @KimSchuss The only regular getting on base more frequently than Alonso is Taylor Ward right now.
English
@KimSchuss Alonso could use some time on the bench to figure it out
English
This is embarrassing (and will probably score runs because I said this, but you know how the saying goes…)
Baltimore Orioles@Orioles
It's Trevor Rogers day
English
English
Rumor they made do the gimmick tonight or tomorrow where an ESPN match "goes long" and you have to get the PLE to see the finish. We shall see.
English
@DaveMyersBIB @Tonysmarkettips They sure had no problem shoving out all the Rueben Bain news on that big account. Why one and not the other?
English
@Tonysmarkettips You realize ESPN just purchased the NFL Network. They are not going to openly push a scandal with an NFL Coach.
English
ESPN releases the Dianna Russini story via their reporter who has 8,453 followers and doesn't retweet it from their 58.2M account. 🙃 It's also burried WAY DOWN on their main website page.
It's almost like they're trying to appease the public by releasing a story, but don't actually want to magnify it.
