This Week on the Twitters







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




On this day in 2006…Orioles: Let's walk MiggyMiggy: Nah(via @cut4)pic.twitter.com/OvbzUK0Gkq— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) June 22, 2020





Yes, our new #NPB team the Orix Buffaloes have started the season 0-2.BUT, Adam Jones went 2-for-3 with a single and a double for his first two hits in Japan! There are still Orioles playing baseball in the world! pic.twitter.com/Nlu5iFFSNh— Locked On Orioles (and LG Twins) (@LockedOnOrioles) June 20, 2020





If I was Ray, each Father's Day I'd go to my dad's ghost and, before asking to have a catch, I'd ask him why he decided to shun his own son in favor of the memory of some long dead crooked-ass baseball player. https://t.co/8oVQE27DFg— Craig Calcaterra (@craigcalcaterra) June 21, 2020

Baseball Things







Sure, there’s no baseball, but there are baseball things to discuss. OK, to be fair, they are baseball-ish things, in some cases. But we’ll take it.



The 2020 Season



Yep, we’re still nowhere. We have gone from 50 games to 80 games, to “tell us where and when,” to 60 games, then to 70 games, then back to 60 games, then back to nothing.  



Fans are on the injured list with severe whiplash.







Baseball Flirts with Selling Out



Baseball is talking about selling ad space on jerseys in 2020 and 2021, but come on: once Pandora’s Box is open, it will never close.



We discuss possible advertising partners for the Orioles, and take it… mostly seriously.







MLB Draft



We’re not as warm on the Orioles’ 2020 draft as we were with the 2019 draft. The Orioles surprised by taking Heston Kjerstad.



We discuss the overall draft results, and Jake makes one too many “Aston-Martin” puns.
