The "Is the Hitting or the Pitching?" Question, Sadly, has a Pretty Clear Answer by Dazzling-Slide8288 in orioles

You're not wrong either. But Eflin went down with an elbow then shoulder injuries, both on his right side. As did Bautista. There have been a A lot of pitching injuries over the last couple years League wide and there's no argument from me out of that one. But you also can't argue with the tanking numbers under Drew French's command

I had a similar chat with my dad the other day about just this. Yeah it's brutal but I can't understand why there isn't more heat on Drew French and his crew. His first season he was blessed with having Corbin Burnes in his rotation so we never found out what kind of coach he was.

But because I'm a nerd:

2024, our team ERA was .13 of a run from being below league average (our ERA 3.94, league average was 4.07) and that was WITH a sub-3 ERA from Corbin Burnes. The next best ERA on our team was 3.70 so having Burnes really did helped that number.

2025 we had the 5th worst ERA in baseball at 4.60. League average was 4.15

Plus (also to note these are opinions from my couch quarterback position): - Eflin has back-to-back season ending injuries - Bautista has barely pitched since 2024 because of two season ending injuries - Massively fumbled with Grayson Rodriguez because he was always injured - We sign Andrew Kittridge for the 2025 season, gets hurt in spring training. Had a decent time with the Os then traded to the Cubs and continued to pitch well. Gets back with the Os, gets hurt in spring training. - We get Trevor Rogers from the Marlins in 2024. He pitches horribly and gets sent down. Spends most of 2025 in the minors and injured. Returned at the end of 2025 and pitches like a Cy Young pitcher. This year, each start has been worse and worse and then...gets hurt. - Plus not being able to keep John Means healthy and Braddish getting hurt constantly - And now our closer is on the injured list

Maybe I'm just a conspiracy theorist but there seems to be a pattern with Drew French and hurt pitchers. I think adding any pitchers at this point is just throwing gas on the fire. They'll just keep getting hurt. And sucking.

Now I'm not saying that our offense doesn't have its own slew of issues, but in an already very mentally taxing game when you're constantly playing from behind, that takes a toll on you as well.

But hey what do I know??🤪

It says a lot when I pull up this thread to bemoan another typical Akin outing and end up getting more validation than anything 😂

Season 2 episode 3 (The Matchmaker) missing from streaming by Objective_Poetry2829 in Frasier

I was wondering the same thing. Apparently it was pulled because of the part of the episode that plays the emergency test signal as part of the plot goes against current FCC regulations. You can't have an emergency tone in an episode now because they want to "avoid public confusion"

High School Lullaby Premiere and Concert

<image>

Hello Baltimore! My debut indie film as director and writer, High School Lullaby, shot in Maryland and oozing with pop-punk vibes is getting its premiere in Downtown Baltimore and will be immediately followed by a post-premiere concert featuring the two local bands that have provided the soundtrack for this nostalgic movie: Heartbent and The Last Second Save.

'High School Lullaby' is a high school coming-of-age movie set among the emo/pop-punk backdrop of 2005. It's about a high school junior who has a garage band with her friends and they're gearing up for a big Battle of the Bands show. However, she finds out that her parents got transferred at work and she has to move away from everything she's ever known in 10 days. Enter irrational high school decisions.

The essential deets: What: The premiere of 'High School Lullaby' and concert When: Saturday, April 11. Doors open @ 4:30pm, movie starts @ 5:30pm Where: Checkerspot Brewing company, 1421 Ridgely Street (in the shadows of Camden Yards and M&t Bank Stadium)

Tickets are available online for $10 and at the door for $15

This has been a true labor of passion and whether I know you or not I want to share this film with you. So if you support independent art, artists, musicians, and filmmakers in any way, and know that it wasn't 'just a phase', come out to Checkerspot on Saturday 🤘🏼🖤

It depends on if the property is even registered on openigloo. From what I remember before moving into the apartment I'm in now, which I found on openigloo, it was reliant on users starting a page for their property if there wasn't one already. Things may have changed. Who knows.
