What an absolute JOKE!!!!!! Who really watches this???? They can't be serious when they bitch about $$$$$ and pay etc etc. Put a better product out there, this is PATHETIC
Colton Cowser is mashing the baseball again.
Through just 3 innings of todayโs game, he already has 4 RBIs. This matches his career high.
Heโs done this only 3 other times:
4/9/2024
4/11/2024
8/8/2024
In โ24 he finished 2nd in AL ROY voting. #birdland
The Liberty coach didnโt even know what Tre Phelps said to his dugout
because he didnโt say anything to his dugout.
Coach still got so upset he ran out crying to the umps.
In Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo, the Orioles have the best catching duo in baseball.
Baltimore catchers lead MLB in:
BA โ .266
SLG โ .486
OPS โ .822
wRC+ โ 129
Their 2.9 fWAR is easily the best in baseball. No other team is above 1.9 fWAR.
Pete Alonso said Coby Mayo taking this hit by pitch "like a man" is what sparked the Orioles' ninth-inning rally:
"I think the huge momentum was Coby wearing one for the boys right there. He took it like a man, and that kind of fired us up in the dugout."
In 2020, COVID cut the MLB draft from 40 rounds to 5. Brandon Young went undrafted and signed with the Orioles for $20,000. He turned down his childhood Astros because Baltimore made him "feel like they had a plan for him".
Two years later, Tommy John surgery wiped out his season after just 3 Double-A starts. He rehabbed across four affiliates in 2023, throwing 40 total innings. Then in 2024 he won the Orioles' Jim Palmer Minor League Pitcher of the Year.
His rookie year wasn't pretty. He went 1-7 with a 6.24 ERA. But there were bright spots. He nearly threw a perfect game against Houston and logged an immaculate inning along the way. This offseason he simplified his pitch mix and changed his splitter grip mid-year, the results have followed:
A 3-1 record and a 3.35 ERA so far in 2026.
Asked as a teenager what he'd do after baseball: "I'm just going to play baseball."
His father: "It could have gone either way with all the injuries and setbacks. He's worked harder than anybody I've ever seen."
Young mentioned this spring: "I can never think I don't belong here. That's just not gonna work. I know I can."
From the guy that took the $20K signing bonus. Tommy John. A 6.24 rookie ERA. Nobody has handed Brandon Young anything. He just kept showing up, with Led Zeppelin inked down his pitching arm and Hendrix on the speakers, until the game had no choice but to let him in.
We love to see what he's bringing to the rotation so far in 2026 ๐
@justin_fenton@StubHub They are giving away $10million today to their 100 millionth fan at camden but it was supposed to be a surprise. Guess the cats outta the bag now smh ๐คฆ
Orioles starting pitcher ERAs since May 6:
Kyle Bradish -- 2.22 ERA
Brandon Young -- 2.86 ERA
Shane Baz -- 3.65 ERA
Chris Bassitt -- 3.80 ERA
Trevor Rogers -- 10.31 ERA
As a staff, that's a 4.23 ERA.
Elias can salvage his career with said move b4 anyone else gets a hint of suspension and tries to outbid the #Orioles. Also not many teams can outbid in a prospect package deal
I told you this team with get it together, just hang in there. They WILL MAKE A MOVE to acquire a top end starter b4 the others do so. If they pay too much so be it, they have PLENTY of prospects to package together for said deal MID JUNE or so
