Strategic comms. Opinions my own. Penn State & University of Delaware alum. Current University of Dayton doctoral student. Only come here to talk Orioles.
I worked at various legacy media outlets and one online organization that youโd consider conservative. Only one organization had a record of asking me to inject political bias into a story, as well as be open to third party groups trying to influence coverage. Guess which.
I donโt know. Something about introducing yourself to some of the best journalists in the world by explaining smartphones to them feels super condescending.
It's the honor of my career to become the executive producer of 60 Minutes. I just shared the note below with the incredible staff and can't wait to get started.
Analytics are fine - but baseball has over-rotated to them. Give me Tony Gwynn slapping a single the other way all day over strikeout, walk, home run, repeat.
Craig Albernaz deserves a fair shake managing the Orioles, but it's apparent they needed an experienced hand who wouldn't coddle the softies and would submit their own lineup, Warehouse be damned.
Orioles beat writers went from โitโs still earlyโ to โraiding the history book to see whether teams this far under .500 in mid- to late May often mount comebacksโ very, very quickly. #birdland
This outcome was apparent halfway through April.
April and May are dooming the Orioles for the second straight year. Apologists shocked to learn spring losses count, too.
Itโs looking dire, folks. #Birdland
I truly believe you could assemble a great MLB lineup focusing on BA, OBP, HRs and RBIs - like it was years ago. Teams like the Orioles have over-rotated to analytics, and they freakinโ suck.
Yes I sound old.
@kylegrantham@DM_Rubenstein I donโt understand the iron grip Elias seems to have on this franchise. His heralded farm system isnโt translating to MLB success, players regress every year and he absolutely refuses to address the need for a frontline starter.
