As always, I’ll try to keep this one short. The Baltimore Orioles have rattled off six wins in a row and look more and more like a playoff-caliber team with each outing (we’re looking at you, Dylan Bundy of one-hit ball last night). Maybe it’s because Jonathan Schoop is playing at a level previously unseen […]

Let’s get our SOTBSports rant on! Now, I’ll never get out here and make a bunch of hot takes, like so many other “Basketball Twitter”/”Sports Twitter” folks.

Read moreThis (May Not) Be Fine, Birdland
The Orioles have lost 22 of their last 31 games, some of those after being completely shellacked. This is after starting the season 22-10.
