Brandon Hyde really said “I'm really happy with how we played” after last night’s loss. What in the actual hell? This isn’t little league big dog. Give me a break. I’m all about trying to find the positives, and last night there were some. But you don’t walk away from that game happy.— chirping bird (@chrpngbrd.bsky.social) 2025-04-24T12:53:40 .717Z

Around the Bases















First Base: Oh no, we suck again!







Look, everything sucks right now. It’s not fun to watch Orioles Baseball. It’s not fun to listen to Orioles Baseball. It is not fun to attend Orioles Baseball. 







And there is no real hope in sight. There is nothing significantly different about this team than there was two weeks ago when we said “man this is awful, but we won’t really be in trouble until June.”







This offense is not clicking. The pitching is not pitching. It’s just… oof.















Second Base: The Drubbing







The Orioles got beat 24-2, and it was… not fun to watch. We highly doubt that this is rock bottom for the Orioles 2025 season, but it was pretty ugly. That being the case… what did we see?















Third Base: Throwing, not Pitching







Let’s start with the good news: Tomoyuki Sugano has looked pretty good the last two starts, including an absolute gem (after it wasn’t).
