This is pretty fun

The O's need to find a way to add someone like Josh Naylor

“I think these guys have to be pushed in spring training to turn back the clock a little bit and have the ability to play more of an early-’90s style of the game,” Mansolino said. “It’s a really hard thing to do during the season to put that type of stuff in place when you’ve got some players who go through a minor league system or a college career and they don’t bunt a lot. It’s hard to ask them to do that off a guy who’s throwing 100 in the ninth inning for the first time. That version of the game, that is an area where I think the staff here in place next year can make it better, and the time to do that is spring training.”

Counterpoint: no

That was a sloppy double play attempt, though!

I mean, I know the Yankees don't play good defense, but Kirk's double wasn't a misplay

Orioles must find a hitter to improve lineup and leadership The needs of a 75-87, last-place team that should have contended for a third straight playoff appearance and challenged for the organization’s first World Series title in 42 years are so long and vari...

"If, if, if. The Orioles can’t let their entire season hinge on whether the core avoids major injuries and produces to its potential. . . . They need a proven hitter capable of carrying them for stretches and relieving the pressure on everyone else"

Sign me up for taking some big swings. I'm tired of the status quo

Mansolino being included on this graphic is kind

right, almost no one unless they swing a big trade (unlikely). most of the improvement on offense must be made internally

I love the idea of adding a veteran, reliable bat. Still, there are a few big questions with this lineup (and will be no matter how the offseason goes)

When another team can't score with the bases loaded and no outs

Playoff baseball rules. Also, this sucks.

Thanks a lot, Orioles

Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad is undergoing treatment for a medical condition, Mike Elias said, and he’s responding favorably to treatments and he’ll be in spring training. Elias declined to specify what the medical condition is

Oh yeah, sure

Tony Mansolino said he has been told he’s under consideration for the full-time managerial post in Baltimore but he understands he may be wearing a different uniform next year. No guarantee

After ‘long, drawn-out death,’ Orioles hope offseason brings new life This winter will be more important than ever after a season of unexpected failure.

For Orioles, 2025 ends with many of the same words. Real change will come from action.

There's nothing to say after a season like this that will make anyone feel better, but sure, this sounds good. And not just everybody *in* the clubhouse, either. I'd be pretty shocked by any significant changes, though

Bad baseball team ends a bad season

So, like, whatever happened to Heston Kjerstad?

Hey, at least Mayo is finishing strong

This is... oddly encouraging? Because he's been miserable offensively this year

It sucks that it's his last start of the season, but Rogers has earned a start like this

Sure

You're welcome!

Dylan Beavers rules

I should insult them more often

The Orioles are a depressing baseball team, and everyone involved should feel bad about it

Thinking Adley Rutschman's return would give the lineup a boost would make sense if you haven't watched the Orioles in over a year

"Let’s be frank about what this team is instead of fantasizing about what it could be. It is a lousy offensive team that has gotten worse since the trade deadline. A field of prospects that was heralded as the best farm system in baseball for multiple years is underachieving."
