At first I thought this was an Orioles post about trading Grayson and what this means for the O’s 😅

But yeah politically right on too

Sadness is the feeling for sure, with a sense of loss. For so long Grayson was associated with the next wave that would make a deep run, yet not even a playoff win materialized. Everything feels so uncertain. And Elias just acquires the same players over and over, never addressing the obvious needs

Could someone please tell Mike Elias you’re allowed to draft pitchers?

Ugh, that’s disappointing to learn. And oh so typical in this clubhouse atmosphere

When you’re back on the clock I’m wondering if anyone has tracked which team has been involved in the most games with a position player pitching in a season? I’m thinking the O’s have to be close?

Jim O’Neill is a tech investor, former CEO of the Thiel Foundation, and co-founder with Peter Thiel of the Thiel fellowship. He has no direct medical education or experience.

It’s hard to get away from the feeling that they really are trying to kill us.

This Thiel lieutenant / eugenics freak thinks billionaires should have their own lawless artificial island countries ("seasteading"), there should be markets for selling human organs, and the FDA should allow drugs to be sold without evidence they're effective.

I cannot express how tired I am of turning an Orioles game on in the top of the first only to see them already trailing

"Trump insists sun rises in the west. Some Democratic critics suggest he may not be entirely correct."

Nathaniel Lowe got DFA’d and he’s still hit more homers than any Oriole

That was the most impressive thing an Orioles pitcher has done all season

Minus Mayo, these rookie ABs for the Orioles look way better than those of the veterans

As People Ridicule GPT-5, Sam Altman Says OpenAI Will Need 'Trillions' in Infrastructure Despite recent embarrassments, the OpenAI CEO's attitude appears to be: Onward and upward!

'One good question might be: Is it really worth spending trillions of dollars just to create a line of mildly amusing chatbots that only give you accurate information a certain percentage of the time?'

More people in Ohio need protection from violent crime than there are people in D.C. Governors of three states — Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia — are sending members of their state National Guards to D.C. to … well, theoretically to combat crime but, if the past week is any in...

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

Snap decision by Westy but with the pitcher’s spot coming up how the hell didn’t the coaches tell the corners to come home?

There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.

Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers.

Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

The Orioles are just cursed this year

It’s amazing that so many institutions see numbers like this and decide “the message is clear, let’s obey in advance harder”

This is the sort of thing the Internet is supposed to be used for. bsky.app/profile/davi...

This team is so increasingly hard to like, on and off the field

If Elias keeps refusing to field an MLB team, at what point do we fans have to start boycotting games?

Akin had liked and reposted some pretty racist shit. Also I’m thinking Elias belongs on this Mount Rushmore of fascist MAGA O’s

Awesome

Gunnar’s HR

Nice! I’m a section over!

Yep

Right? 😅

Wrigley Field bleachers view

Howdy from the bleachers! Springfield represent!

So true — I’m here today and was thinking the exact same thing

Imagine having the core of talent Mike Elias has and finding yourself selling off like this. Just complete baseball malpractice in Baltimore over the past year.
