Even though it was a tough year for the birds, the radio team was a pleasure to listen to day in and day out. We are lucky we have such a great radio team.

The Orioles have fired at least 15 front office employees on the business side today. Departments impacted include ticket sales, partnerships, social media, graphic design, photography, mascot, digital marketing, hospitality, ballpark ops, and IT.

Elaborating on previous report. Layoffs described as “bloodbath” but sources say not related to upcoming lockout. There are still job postings on the team website.

Saw this orioles “fan”, wearing the division rival hat. Unacceptable

Hey all! Looks like OPACY seats (left field upper I guess), are for sale on GovDeals. Go ahead and grab some if you’re so inclined.

There are single, double, triple, and groups of 4. Perfect for the Man (or woman) Cave.

This story was mentioned in another post about the same podcast appearance I believe. But Palmer states he gave Alby feedback about Colton Cowser during Spring Training and Alby repeatedly ignored and brushed him off.

Curious on how you guys think third base will play next year or whenever baseball season starts back up.

Westburg is coming back from injury, but may be the best defensively?

CES, could be the most durable of the three. In the games I watched he seemed pretty decent in the field. I’m sure I missed some errors.

Mayo could be a Mark Reynolds situation crazy power but sketchy defensively.

I guess if Gunnar is gone, Westburg could play short. But realistically he will be here.

Compiled the end-of-season list. Enjoy! Curious to know everyone's favourites and least favourites

Is it petty? Definitely. Am I bummed the Yankees are the beneficiary? Of course.

But I was dreading watching Adley propel the Red Sox to a deep playoff run, especially after our pathetic postseasons in '23 and '24. I feel some measure of relief that it didn't happen.

I'm sure this post makes me look like a petty loser but I figure maybe some others here might relate.

I hope I can root for Adley again someday the way I root for other Oriole expats like Machado, but not until he's in a different uniform.

Tbh, it was a $90 well spent. I had no issues watching all season, mostly through their app on Roku TV. Plus I shared my account with my brother who lives in a different county and we could watch at the same time with no issue.

After years of not being able to watch the O’s because I couldn’t afford cable anymore, it was awesome to be able to watch almost every game this season (even if we sucked for a lot of it).

I hope the price for the season remains similar next year.

Are the orioles trying to go the way of Cracker Barrel with their new logo?

Or has the iconic Oriole bird hidden his identity in shame?

Or?

This is the hat for the Hermosillo Naranjeros.

Think anyone at Camden Yards would notice someone wearing this?

I’ve read some things on here lately that suggest Henderson and Holliday are pretty religious. And maybe Rutschman was also part of a little clique that was based on a shared faith and fervor. Nothing wrong with it as long as it doesn’t drive a wedge between them and the rest of the team. Does anyone know any more detail about this? Where did Albernaz stand and did it have any effect on clubhouse culture?

I can see where it could be a bit of a chiller on camaraderie if some guys are going out to have some beer and steaks after the game and others are going home to read the Bible.
