Leadership

Dear John Harbaugh: How many of the lies do you think we believe?

Nestor Aparicio

Making commercials when you win; hiding without accountability or the expectation of it when you lose. And, lately, you lose far too much…and hide far too frequently. And that starts with your owner and oozes into your locker room. And manifests with wealthy, entitled players hiding in defeat. It’s beyond a “bad look.” It’s what losers do – and true champions would never even consider. Accountability is optional for the Baltimore Ravens but the scoreboard and standings don’t lie.

Examining the pedigree and hire of Orioles manager Craig Albernaz

Baltimore Positive

As the heavy lifting of the offseason begins for the last-place Baltimore Orioles, the first step is complete. New manager Craig Albernaz brings plenty of fresh blood and great recommendations but as Luke Jones and Nestor point out, the players the team acquires this offseason and the maturation of a bevy of young, high-ceiling prospects will decide his fate in the dugout. It’s still baseball season in Baltimore!

Beware the Canadian baseball beast in Toronto!

Baltimore Positive

Beware the Toronto Blue Jays! And even if the Los Angeles Dodgers don’t win the World Series as heavy favorites, it’ll be clear why they’ll have money to spend as the Baltimore Orioles go to market for a manager and offseason acquisitions via free agency that will be chasing a new leaf of power and capital in the American League East north of the border, where they enjoy beating America in any way possible. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Fall Classic and the incredible Ohtani and Springer shows this October.

Recovering Tampa via Baltimore sportswriter Joel Poiley brings his Orioles and Ravens passion and wisdom home for a deep dive chat with Nestor about life as a local sports fan during this tough year.

Finding the courage to discuss and fight hatred in America

Oh, and about The Constitution…
