For the second time in a week, the Orioles have been swept by the Minnesota Twins. The Orioles are 11 games under .500 on May 15th. They entered today 25th in Runs Scored, and 27th in ERA. Ouch. It’s a horribly disappointing year. Give me a quick October exit anytime over irrelevance before Memorial Day. I expect that ’26 team will be rebound, and believe they can be a true contender. Even if that happens, that won’t completely erase the distaste from this year.

The Baltimore Orioles lost both games in a double-header yesterday in Detroit, meaning that win or lose today; the O’s are 1-6-2 in their first 9 series of 2025. Woof. There are 135 games left (83%) in the Orioles season after today, starting with a 3 game set to end April at home beginning tomorrow vs. the Yankees. I believe in the Orioles positional talent. I believe the rotation can stabilize. As such, I’m still of the opinion that t he O’s can turn their season around and reach the postseason.

Sunday night, Derik Queen propelled the University of Maryland into the Sweet 16 with his buzzer beater vs. Colorado State. That was fun. There was elation in the moment. Had Queen’s shot gone awry, it would have been pretty disappointing. Give Colorado State all the credit they deserve; they played hard, and largely controlled the game. It was a typical NCAA Tournament game, where you can see the favored team is getting tight, and the underdog is reveling in the moment.

The Orioles begin their 2025 season Thursday in Toronto. As the year begins, I think the O’s are the best team in the East, and probably the best team in the AL. I think they go 92-70, and steadily look increasingly more formidable as the year progresses. I’m not worried about Henderson starting the year on the IL. The O’s are just being cautious with their best player. I’m not worried about Bautista’s ‘health’, but I think his performance may be a bit up and down at-least the first few months.

The Baltimore Ravens 2024 season ended last night in Buffalo, with the Bills winning 27-25. If I’m particularly irritated at anything Ravens related today; it’s thinking back to their early season losses vs. Las Vegas and Cleveland. Those were two games the Ravens had no business losing. Win those games, and last night’s game is in Baltimore, and not Buffalo. The Bills are a quality team. I think the Ravens have a stronger roster overall, but the gap is not tremendous.
