Maryland made, suburban Chicago raised. My sarcastic tweets (all tweets), are my own views.

@Jim22Palmer @jcalvinmeyer @ThyWill70 @FrankRekas @CreedWillems @realbenmcdonald Not just this leadership team… who remembers the massive failed Chris Tillman cutter experiment? Jake Arrieta’s change up when he had that Sinker/FB-Slider combo?

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@jcalvinmeyer Now he’s crushing Toronto like Mountcastle 2.0

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@jcalvinmeyer His exit velocity (despite some trashing the stat), hard hit percent, and contact percentages suggested a Mountcastle-type summer breakout

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@editti22 Different swing but he top spins a ball with pure strength like the big hurt/gallaraga/bagwell used to. Also I am now old

@CardVaultKC @whosyorpoppy @Chewiee_ @fleaflickerr The sun is to the right and behind him

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@elsergieeyo @sleepyismystate @CardVaultKC @Chewiee_ @fleaflickerr The sun does not go that direction, it is behind the first base grandstand at Oriole Park on Sunday early games. It would be 90° to his right

@ThirstRoundPick This team has so much talent as it is it just needs a people and situation manager.

If only a Dusty Baker or Bruce Boche type for the Astros/Rangers eras were available

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@mitch_fretton Honestly, if we can get what New Castle got out Trippier, it’s a massive win. Coming in at same age as Kieran’s arrival up north. Solid LB, but big time leadership

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@RickySacks @LastWordOnSpurs @SpursOfficial Whatever he did to rebuilding Kinsky should be examined as a real miracle, or at least written about in books on coaching. I really feel like Madrid is now an origin story, not an ending

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

Every time Freaky Styley comes on WLRH/my rotation, I really hope @ChiliPeppers @flea333 @RHCPchad bring it back to the stage, should we get the magic of another tour. Who can sit still to that???

[Brad Bell @Brad7News]

Maryland crab lovers there is some better news about the health of the species today. After 6 bad years the population count/estimate has jumped 46% according to the just released annual survey.

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@JuniorRodigan @RodinSimi It literally happened to Jao Palinha against wolves and no penalty was given, because how could the defender know he’d be running in from behind?

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@WestHam_Central Now do Palhina vs Wolves when there was no penalty given. Back to attacker, wild high kick wipes out Jao, no penalty. Same team, different rules

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@JPFinlayNBCS This also lines up with the international break from the PL Sept 21 - Oct 6. It was either the 4th or the weekend before

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

This might be the longest writeup on a player whose career, on the surface seems so insignificant, but meant so much to Washington fans in a very dark, ugly period: https://t.co/pkWvsRKa6J

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@editti22 Can see why the O’s crew shed was blocked by pads… no chicken wire fences should be reachable by players

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

Dude is back to All Star level at the dish so far

[Baltimore Orioles @Orioles]

Adley gives us some insurance

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@JeffPassan Former ORIOLES Kyle Hudson

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

@editti22 But I was informed two birds were killed by one snake.

[Michael Jaffe @mjaffeterp]

Sports images that preceded (un)fortunate events. Rattled off a good one @Orioles
