Team with Championship aspirations takes the field at Camden Yards in mid October. Just as we planned.
Orioles' Camden Yards is prepped and ready for the Rams, fresh off beating the Ravens yesterday, to practice this week before they head to England. 📸: @KRichardsonMMA

Best I can tell from available play by play data, there has never been another game in recorded NL/AL history in which… A pitcher lost a no-hitter on a HR with 2 outs in the 9th and then … His team lost the game. Baseball!

So the @Orioles called me this morning. Here is a quick update on my thoughts with the season ticket changes. Spoiler - maybe more frustrated as I see behind the curtain. #birdland #baltimore

45 years a fan. 25 years a season ticket holder. And the @Orioles front office just doesn’t care. Loyalty should mean something. Birdland deserves better. ⚾🟠⚫ @DM_Rubenstein #orioles #baltimore #mlb

All we want is a winning team on the field, a serious front office that cares about winning, a real manager, & extensions to our young talent. Yet this is what we get along with season ticket prices rising & perks removed. Genuinely, what the fuck is wrong with this organization?

Orioles fans just want ticket pricing transparency but instead get a guest splasher who is a Mets super fan

1/ It's been an exciting 1st(!) year at the UMBC Institute of Politics. We've conducted 2 MD statewide polls, 1 poll of Baltimore City/County, and 1 exit poll of Baltimore County. I wanted to try something that I've never done with our last project of the academic year: a national poll!

.⁦@Jomboy_⁩ Orioles broadcast team has a tradition of ⁦@realbenmcdonald⁩ scaring ⁦@GeoffOnTheAir⁩ when he is locked in before games. It’s a tradition as good as the Masters. We would love a breakdown. ⁦@kevinnbrown⁩ ⁦@MelanieLynneN⁩
