Is it Over?



Let’s not beat around the bush: the Orioles had the opportunity to leapfrog the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL Wild Card race. Instead, they ended the series 4.5 games out.



So, when it comes to playoff chances… is it over for the Baltimore Orioles?















Around the Bases



We go Around the Bases to review this week in Orioles Baseball:



First Base: What would it take?



The Orioles and the Jays had a pretend push-fight this week. And then Jays fans got a little spicy on the internet. But what would it take for Baltimore/Toronto to turn into a real rivalry? It takes good teams and a heightened emotions – but is that enough?



Second Base: Minor Labor Battles



The MLBPA is going to represent Minor League baseball players. Whereas this is a decidedly Good Thing (TM), there will be a cost. And if big businesses (like the $10B behemoth that is MLB) know one thing, it’s how to pass additional costs onto their consumers.



So what is it going to cost fans like you and me to get minor league baseball players treated like people?



Third Base: The Shell Game



The Orioles are making moves. 26 roster moves since September 1, at the very least.
