Oh and by the way this analytics BS has absolutely ruined the Orioles. These lineups just don’t even make any sense most of the time. Sitting players when they are hot and keeping players in the lineup that can’t hit for shit all because “analytics” says so. What a joke! #birdland
COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.
There is no close second in our history.

Five different pitchers, but the same result: The worst rotation ERA in the AL.
Within one 24 hour period, Trump:
- got out of a $100 million IRS fine
- secured "immunity" from all future tax investigations for his family and friends
- created a $1.8 billion slush fund for lawbreaking supporters
- was reported for likely insider trading worth nearly $1 billion
All of the obvious things to say about this are true. It's bad. Nobody even tries to defend it. The closest thing to a defense you get is something about how "but Democrats suck" and "woke was also bad," which is not a defense, but rather a kind of moral blank check made out to the administration to give them the right to do anything.
But what I'm most curious about is whether this sort of lurid corruption creates a countermovement that successfully returns government to rule of law or whether it's establishing a norm of executive imperialism that every future administration will use to achieve its ends, which can always be justified by the moral blank check of "the other side is worse, so let us do whatever we want."
I’ve watched a lot of bad Orioles teams in my life. I’m not exaggerating when I say I think this one plays with the least heart. They just play like they don’t care.
Inflation up dramatically - a direct result of Trump's Iran war. Blaming others won't help. Without a change of course, Americans will keep paying the price.
Just have to come to terms that the Orioles just aren’t a good baseball team. The “window” has closed and now it’s time to make some big changes. #birdland
Mike Elias signed Tyler O'Neill to a three-year, $49.5 million contract in large part because of his ability to hit left-handed pitchers.
Here are O'Neill's stats in 79 plate appearances vs. LHPs since joining the Orioles last year:
.145 BA
.231 OBP
.319 SLG
.550 OPS

Virginia voters have spoken, and tonight they pushed back against a President who claims he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats in Congress.
As we watched other states go along with those demands without voter input, Virginians refused to let that stand. We responded the right way: at the ballot box.
