Here’s what’s going on in the world of Orioles Baseball, in 280 characters, or fewer:

Around the Bases… Extended Edition
We went Around the Bases, and then jut kept going. What of it? It’s 2020, nothing makes sense!
FIRST BASE: Rosterbation
* Keegan Akin callup* Jorge Lopez claimed off waivers* DJ Stewart sent to Bowie* Ramon Urias added to the Taxi Squad
SECOND BASE: Miguel, ma belle
Is Miguel Castro… better? Look, we have talked about this in the past, but the man is 6’7″ and can be electric when his mechanics are on – how nice would it be to see him figure it out in 2020?
Also, we’ve seen him pitch 7.1 innings, so maybe we should calm down. But that wouldn’t really be out style, would it?
THIRD BASE: These rules are already dumb.
Why are we resuming games interrupted by rain, in 2020? This is a season in which we are willing to accept seven-inning “major league games.” Why would we bother to preserve the (relatively new) rule about picking up postponed games?
