This throw seems impossible... it just kept going

Some college K-rates for recent BAL picks since some asked:

Fabian (SEC): 30.8%
Honeycutt (ACC): 26.2%

*Aloy* (SEC/WAC): 19.4%
Kjerstad (SEC): 18.7%
*Irish* (SEC): 14.8%
Bradfield (SEC): 13.6%
Cowser (SLC): 12.0%
*Bodine* (SBC): 7.9%

JK Simmons is awesome

The O’s broadcast rn 😂

I appreciate the #Orioles teaching so many local children that life is disappointment & fandom is emotional pain while they're still young. It's the only way to get desensitized to it.

They are renovating Pimlico (not moving altogether). So glad the race is staying in the city.

Sesame Street had him pegged back in 1988.

Final line for #Orioles starter Kyle Gibson's 2025 debut:

3.2 IP, 11 H, 9 ER, 2 BB, 2 K's, 5 HRs. 73 pitches, 44 strikes.

Gibson is the 1st pitcher in O's history (since 1954) to allow 9+ earned runs, 11+ hits and 5+ home runs in an outing.

RIP SMFB

The Orioles added a ton of heat on minor league deals this offseason. Curious if any are able to contribute at some point this season

For the fifth time this season, Derik Queen has been named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week. This comes on the heels of two straight double-doubles from Queen.

25 years ago today, Baseball Reference was created.

We've had a few different looks over the years, but our mission has stayed the same—to make baseball stats accessible for everyone. ⚾

#1 = Orioles
#2 = Orioles
#3 = Orioles

Pheww boy! The defense will be 🔥🔥🔥

I'm trying not to get *too* carried away with my sun model, because as Mike points out, there's a lot going on in Seattle.

But this part made me sit up straight. You'll never guess the top three sunset whiff rate changers:

*Comerica Park
1. Camden Yards
2. Progressive Field
3. T-Mobile Park

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Great show. Highly recommend

Building up to Pig..

Jack Wilson is one of the best defensive shortstops to never win a gold glove imo

Lamarvelous🎱 to Andrews8️⃣9️⃣ for a stiff arm and 67 yards LFGGG #RavensFlock 🖤💜

MARLON HUMPHREY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tune in on FOX!

I’ll admit I was a Chalamet doubter but how can you argue with his performance here? He nailed it.
