Around the Bases















First Base: The Tinkerer







After last week’s first base was devoted to “what’s wrong with Adley?” we spend this week asking ourselves “is Adley back?”







We don’t want to yo-yo too badly, but we are very enthused about the what we saw in this more recent installment of The Tale of Two Adleys.







Second Base: As the Rotation Turns







Up until now, it has not been a good sign if we were talking about the rotation, but Orioles’ starters came up big this week, racking up a lot of innings (two 7 inning starts and a 6.2!), and helping pave the way to a six-game winning streak.







There may not be a true “top of the order” with these five, but the bottom is truly impressing. Here is hoping that they have turned a corner to move into a more respectable norm.







Third Base: The Ryan O’Hearn Appreciation Club







Ryan O’Hearn might be this year’s Ty Wigginton, but he will also be an All Star because he deserves it. O’Hearn has not only led the team’s offense, he has stepped up into a true leadership role when the team has desperately needed that, too.







Is it likely that O’Hearn will return to the Orioles in 2026? No. The pending free agent will want to get paid, and someone else is more likely do pay him than the Orioles are. But that is no reason to keep us from enjoying the good days when they are here.
