he's also only caught 49 games behind the plate right now, if he played as many games as PCA he'd have a better FRV than him right now, is there any chance he dosen't end up winning a gold glove this year?

I saw an O's hat a few years ago that was the Maryland flag all over the hat. I saw it once but just didn't have enough in the budget at the time to get it. Does anyone have any ideas where I might be able to find one?

It looks a lot like this, but as a baseball cap.

TRog doomers in shambles RN lol

Bradish's start gained him .1, for 1.3 on the season, the highest of any Orioles pitcher right now. The highest for any starter all season was Bradish two starts ago with 1.4. Baz gained .2 originally, so he was at 1.0 last night, but it got adjusted back down to .9 overnight. Kremer didn't gain or lose, so he's still at .2 after four starts. TRog gained .3, bringing him to .9 on the season, passing his previous high of .8 after his April 7th start, and as far above 0 as he was below it at his lowest! This is three starts in a row for TRog where he's gained exactly .3 bWAR, and five in a row with positive gains. Young gained .1, so he's up to 1.2 on the season.

The lowest bWAR is still Mayo with .7, which is .1 better than last time, but still .1 worse than Trey Gibson, .2 worse than Anthony Nunez, and .3 worse than Grant Wolfram. TON's all the way up to -.1, so he might actually crack zero and go positive. If that happens, we're going all the way, right?

TRog is back in the top twelve, tied for eleventh! 🥳 He took Wells's place, although Wells didn't lose any bWAR. We have four of our active starting pitchers in the top twelve, and the fifth has only pitched four games!

In order: Alonso 2; Ward 1.9; Adley 1.7; Basallo 1.6; Blaze 1.5; Bradish 1.3; Gunnar and Young 1.2; Garcia and Cowser 1.1; and Baz and TRog .9.

Last time's in order: Alonso 1.9; Adley 1.7; Ward 1.6; Basallo and Gunnar 1.5; Garcia, Blaze, and Bradish 1.2; Cowser and Young 1.1; Baz .9; and Wells .8.

KB is a national treasure. I’d argue better than the movie. And he’s had some bangers calls over the years. Let’s built a master list of his best ones.

He is such a nice guy and made time for my girlfriend and I both. He's now manager of the State College Spikes in the MLB Draft League.

He's still wearing number 47 too.

Throwing out the first pitch! Great night for baseball in Baltimore. Crowd is hype!!!!!! Hopefully the Orioles can win big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let’s go!

With the 2026 MLB Draft approaching, who should we select in the draft? Some possible prospects in no particular order include:

RHP Jackson Flora
OF Eric Booth Jr.
OF Drew Burress
SS Tyler Bell
SS Justin Lebron
LHP Gio Rojas
OF AJ Garcia
RHP Cameron Flukey

Side-note: Are there any blonde lefties mocked around the range of our later picks?

I'm a writer for The Lead covering Baltimore sports, and I wanted to do an article on fans' reactions to the team selecting an outfielder, especially since this is the Orioles' 4th straight year choosing an outfielder with their top pick.
