I texted my children that we got the puppy they’ve been begging me for and sent them a link with pictures. 🐶When they clicked on the link, it took them to a webpage that said YOU’RE GROUNDED. They’ll be spending the weekend retaking our family’s cybersecurity training course.

A New Jersey-based fan named Rev Ciancio visited 77 different ballparks this season. At each one, he would get a hot dog with mustard, eat it after “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” and grade it. Here are his top 10:
10. Joliet Slammers (National Association of Professional Baseball): A “rock solid” offering.
9. Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs (Triple-A PHI): “Exactly what a ballpark hot dog is supposed to taste like.”
8. Sussex County Miners (National Association of Professional Baseball): “They’re the only team that I’ve been to that has a ripper, where they’re actually deep-frying the hot dog.”
7. Albuquerque Isotopes (Triple-A COL): “It’s almost foul to highlight how good the hot dog was because there’s so much good there.”
6. Boston Red Sox: “This is one of the Major League stadiums where the lore of the hot dog holds true.”
5. Richmond Flying Squirrels (Double-A SF): “It was just a well-rounded hot dog. Like there was magic and you don’t know why.”
4. Brooklyn Cyclones (High-A NYM): “It’s part of their culture to have a good hot dog.”
3. Chicago Cubs: “I feel like Chicago teams have a right and a duty to produce good hot dogs.”
2. Chicago Dogs (American Association): The poppyseed bun was an “ingredient difference maker.”
1. Reading Fightin Phils (Double-A Phillies): “When you eat a hot dog at Reading, it’s as though every single hot dog was individually cooked. One person took one hot dog and made sure it was perfect.”

ALT A split image. On the left, fan Rev Ciancio, who tried hot dogs at 77 different ballparks this year. He’s wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a floral hat, holding a hot dog. On the right, his hand holding a hot dog with mustard from Reading, PA.
Do people honestly think there won’t be a costumed Oriole Bird mascot at Camden Yards on opening day whenever it happens next season?
Come on, people. Stop being so ridiculous.

Adam Jones reveals the blunt message Buck Showalter gave him after his first bad effort play about being who you say you are and the little things becoming the big things
“There’s two instances. It’s third day there. I hit a bullet ground ball to the third baseman. You’re watching a double play get turned right in front of you, but the first baseman happened to drop the ball.”
“Does it ever look good when you’re halfway through it and you know you ain’t running hard? Never does. You’re still out, but it never looks good.”
“So after the game, he brings me in and says, ‘Hey, I heard you’re supposed to be the star here. Bleepin act like it.’ I’m like, ‘All right.’”
“It was just an extra incentive like, hey, we’re always watching. The fans are always watching. People are always watching. You’re an example. Show it. Go out there and really play as hard as you can.”
“He was so anal about being fundamentally sound. When the outfield misses a cut, it’s two bases. When the infield does, it’s one.”
“Defense was our strong suit. We played phenomenal defense and it was an attitude every single day, because you’re not going to hit every day.”
“But you can play defense every day. You can run the bases hard every day. You can do the intangibles every single day. And that’s what Buck was always paying attention to.”

This is what turning back the clock 40 years would mean for the global economy.
JD Vance wants you (and everyone else) to be poorer. Much much poorer!
What would it mean to turn back the clock on the last 40 years?
In one big number, it would mean a ~70% reduction in global GDP. | @foster_type

I have been generally fairly forgiving of Albernaz since it was his first season, but this, especially, does not sit right at all.
When Buck came in, one of the first things he did was make sure the young players understood Orioles history, Orioles greats, the Oriole way.
Jim Palmer is BACK. Returning to the pod, he talks the #Orioles season, giving advice to Craig Albernaz, and more. PLUS Jerry and Mike discuss draft classes

Shouldn’t have moved Baltimore Blonde to NY.

This is the correct take here from @BrodieBz
The bar and area is a good idea. The double roof just looks weird. @Orioles need to get @SmithJanetmarie on the phone.

Hey everybody.
Stadium. Renovations. Have. No. Bearing. On. The. Team’s. Player. Salary. Decisions.
They can do both upgrades AND fix the team at the same time. Nothing is stopping them.
Jesus fucking Christ.

Big time finish for my @Ravens!! I had to put on my gear to help seal the deal. Can’t live in Dallas and have my Ravens lose to the Cowboys. 😂 #RavensFlock

So Pete Alonso finishes as the AL leader in both homers (43) and RBIs (113).
He becomes first-ever MLB player to lead the AL and NL in separate years of course, in RBIs.
His second HR title (led NL with 53 in 2019). His 149 OPS+ this year was a career-best.
So he figured out how pitchers pitched for like the entirety of baseball up until like 10-15 years ago?
This isn’t a knock on him, it’s a knock on the MLB system. Why did he figure that out on his own? This is how every pitching coach should be teaching them to pitch.
Justin Verlander reveals the game that convinced him to stop throwing as hard as he could
“The whole knock on me early in my career was that I threw too many pitches. I’d throw 120 pitches, but I was only going six innings.”
“I had a game in Boston where we really needed me to get deep in the game. Our bullpen was shot. I go out the first couple innings, and I look up and I’ve got sixty-something pitches.”
“To me, the most important thing for that game was to chew innings. I was like, ‘I can’t keep this pace.’ So I ended up slowing myself down. I was throwing fastballs at 89. I threw a changeup in that game at 91 and threw a fastball at 89 in the same game.”
“I just pulled the throttle way back. I was like, ‘Man, here, hit it. Put it in play.’ All of a sudden, I was like, ‘Man, I am really able to hit my spot.’”
“I basically took that mentality and flipped it going into the next season. Let me try starting games like this and then building up as I go. If I get in trouble, I’ve always got it in my back pocket.”
“I always viewed it from the hitter’s perspective as you’re facing three different pitchers in three different at-bats, and they’re progressively getting harder to hit.”

Only 2 players in Orioles history (since 1954) have led AL in both home runs and RBIs in same season:
Frank Robinson in 1966 -- 49 HRs, 122 RBIs (Triple Crown)
Chris Davis in 2013 -- 53 HRs, 138 RBIs
Pete Alonso has the chance to become the 3rd this year (42 HRs, 112 RBIs).

Before today's game, Pete Alonso warmed up on the field wearing Breaking Tee's 300 homer shirt that includes the "fiddling with your f---ing formulas" quote. Then he homered twice
