terrysharon+FollowRutschman & Mullins Injury Updates: O’s HopefulBirdland, some much-needed updates on our stars: Adley “The Captain” Rutschman is taking BP after that scary foul tip to the mask, which is a great sign for his return. Meanwhile, Cedric “CM Storm” Mullins is out for a second straight game after getting banged up in Boston, but he’s available off the bench tonight. Even with these setbacks, the O’s are riding a three-game win streak—can they keep the momentum against the Cards? Let’s talk! #Birdland #Orioles #MLB #Sports00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowShould the O’s Cut Ties with Muscle Man O’Neill?Birdland, what’s your take on Tyler O’Neill’s rough start? After the front office splurged on Muscle Man’s contract, he’s been ice cold at the plate and now sidelined with a shoulder injury. With Hyde already out and Gunnar carrying the load, is it time to ship O’Neill out—maybe to the Jays, Angels, or Astros—and get back to our youth movement? Could this be the move that sparks a turnaround? #Orioles #MLBTradeRumors #Birdland #TylerONeill00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowRutschman’s Slump: Bad Luck or Real Worry?Birdland, what’s your take on Adley’s rough start? The O’s backstop admits he ‘hates’ seeing his .208 average, but his hard-hit rate and low strikeouts say he’s due for a turnaround. Is this just a cold streak, or should we be worried about our All-Star? With his BABip way below career norms, it feels like luck’s not on his side. Let’s talk: will Rutschman bounce back and lead the charge, or is this slump a sign of deeper issues? #Orioles #AdleyRutschman #MLB #Birdland #Baseball #Sports00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowTough Break: Armbruester’s SetbackBirdland, how are we feeling about Justin Armbruester’s lat surgery? Just as the O’s were hoping to see him turn the corner in Triple-A, this injury puts him on the shelf for months. He was lights out in relief early this season (0.00 ERA!), so it stings to lose him now. With Keeler Morfe also down, our prospect depth is really being tested. Do you think Armbruester bounces back and makes an impact in Baltimore, or is this a major setback for his future? #Orioles #Birdland #MLBProspects #InjuryUpdate #Sports60Share
terrysharon+FollowHyde Benches Holliday: Smart Move or Overthinking?Birdland, what do you make of Skipper Hyde sitting the young phenom, Jackson Holliday, in favor of Jorgie Mateo last night against the Nats? Hyde says it’s just to keep Mateo fresh, not a knock on Holliday, who’s actually trending up from last year. But with the O’s struggling and the AL East race heating up, was this the right call? Or do you ride with the kid and let him develop under pressure? Let’s hear your takes! #Orioles #Birdland #MLB #JacksonHolliday #BrandonHyde #Sports117Share
