@JasonLaCanfora JLC, at season's end, I believe Boras will be quickly contacting O's front office. Not for any extension talks but to request Gunnar be traded asap. Clearly Gunnar doesn't want to play in Bmore longterm. Don't expect Gunnar to be here on 2027 Opening Day. Do you agree ??

A look at Minter on the mic: Ravens coach Jesse Minter is rapping Eminem at the team dinner.

Players have raved all summer about Minter’s positive vibes and now everyone can see why.

@Steveonbaseball Steve you can flush them and the 2026 season right now. They're done and no way they are over 500 at season's end.

@jcalvinmeyer If Alby didn't screw with the lineup and players so much daily results would be better. Alby appears to be in over his head with this front office philosophy and a number of AAA players who lack baseball IQ, basic fundamentals and inability to put ball in play.

Craig Albernaz when asked why the Orioles haven't been a consistent baseball team this season:

"It's a great question. It's something that, myself, I've been actively trying to problem-solve and put a finger on. Understand, I'm the manager of the team and the guy in charge, and it's my job to figure that out and I haven't yet. And that's on me.

"We have to figure out how to keep our guys playing that consistent brand of baseball, and actively trying to figure that out. Right now, it's not, and like I said, that's just on me."

[Rich Fitzgerald @RichFitzgeral19]

@KenWeinmanSport Ken only 4 hits tonight for O's. And 44% of their 27 outs tonight were again strikeouts. Inability to put the ball in play in most games has been a yearlong problem. Gotta change sometime. But when ??

One of the more enlightening and disheartening conversations you could have about the sad state of #Birdland with longtime exec and analyst Dan O'Dowd,a former O's exec. How much Bill Ripken and Buck could help. A powerful assessment of sweeping failures

@mvpfloorservice Unfortunately O's current identity is "let me show you how to lose in so many different ways". Absence of fundamentals and inability to grow and develop talented athletes very problematic for the organization. Proven MLB winners need to lead organization.

[Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora]

Another garbage night for Gunnar at short. This regime is a total joke and people in the industry aren't biting their tongue about Mike Elias's fraudulent tenure anymore. Like longtime GM Dan O'Dowd spoke to on @DailyFlockShow

@JasonLaCanfora JLC, why not ???
Carlos Navarez is automatic out, 169 season average. Major shake up has to be on horizon.

@realbenmcdonald @spartancamera Ben you are one very lucky man. Clearly , MeMe takes good care of the entire McDonald family!!! The lady is a family gem!!!

[Rich Fitzgerald @RichFitzgeral19]

@jcalvinmeyer Give Kjerstad another shot or trade him. He, like other Orioles, would certainly welcome a change of scenery. O's seem to always stifle young players development
Assuming Franklin will be option out when Blaze returns next week.

[Jacob Calvin Meyer @jcalvinmeyer]

Heston Kjerstad since July 1:

.301 BA
.367 OBP
.541 SLG
.908 OPS

He went 3-for-3 today with Triple-A Norfolk.

[Rich Fitzgerald @RichFitzgeral19]

Gunnar's 15th error this year costs O's tonight. Sometime he makes fantastic, unbelievable defensive plays but then seems to commit errors on some more routine plays. What is it ?? Momentary lack of focus ?? Would he be better at third base ??

[The Baltimore Sun @baltimoresun]

Polk County (Florida) Sheriff Grady Judd recorded a “morning briefing,” detailing the charges against Baltimore native Nichele Pierce.

“Baltimore is out of control,” he said. “Crazy is the norm in Baltimore.”

I love how groceries are $360 for one week and we can’t eat anything 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[Rich Fitzgerald @RichFitzgeral19]

@WalterMaselli1 5 games under 500 now. Will team ever get to 500 ?? Love the O's but does anyone really think they deserve a playoff spot ??

[Rich Fitzgerald @RichFitzgeral19]

@KenWeinmanSport Spot on Ken.

Million dollar question, how does one start to address/rectify all the O's problem areas ???

[Rich Fitzgerald @RichFitzgeral19]

@isabel_cumming Your independence is crucial to mission accomplishment. Keep up the great work and hope you are provided the necessary staffing to continue to do your job well. More transparency and accountability is needed to insure taxpayers dollars are managed properly.

[Isabel22 @isabel_cumming]

Beyond grateful to my citizen advisory board and the voters of Baltimore with the City Council who realized the importance of have an independent Board. They provide the strength in the storms. Let’s keep moving forward in Baltimore 🙏🏽🖤💛
