This Week on the Socials
Around the Bases
First Base: They’re Bad. They’re Good. Rabbit Season. Duck Season.
The Orioles finally did it. After failing to execute on multiple instances, the Orioles are going to the playoffs.
There’s that Orioles fan urge to say “we’re back” a few series after saying “it’s over.”
Second Base: Bring The Noise?
The Orioles have been phenomenal off the field, with their media production and knack for delightfully engaging with the fanbase. They seem to be all in on the #BeTheNoise campaign, and I appreciate the effort.
But let’s get real. #BeTheNoise is not what we need in this moment.
Ten years after the Royals came into Camden Yards and silenced a thunderous crowd, the Orioles have the opportunity to exorcize some serious demons. After 10 years, we finally have the opportunity to get revenge on a team that ended the season of what was possibly the best Orioles team I ever saw play baseball.
So what is needed for this moment?
Third Base: The Calvary
We have now seen a return of nearly every Orioles player that was hurt through the 2nd half of the season except for Kevin Gausman, I mean Grayson Rodriguez.
Orioles fans have been saying for a while now that they just needed everyone to be back and let’s see what happens in October. Well they got their wish.
Which player is the x-factor on this team that will make or break the Orioles chances in October?
Home Plate: O’s vs Royals Wild Card Predictions
How exciting or dark will this upcoming week be in Birdland?
Fantasy Boss
Last (time) was a tie: neither of our selected players hit a dong after dark, and so we remain at 8-6 in Scott’s favor. Because the Orioles season could technically be over by next week, that means we need to get… creative.
This week, we’ll select a category, and not one, but TWO wild cards!!! That’s right. Things are about to get wild… wild card.
