Wishing and hoping for a better brand of Orioles baseball next summer

Baltimore Positive

We are loving these offseason baseball conversations but will the Hot Stove heat up enough to energize the Baltimore Orioles fan base for the first time in a generation? Time will tell. Ron Cassie of Baltimore Magazine joins Luke Jones and Nestor for a Baltimore baseball offseason primer of hopes and possibilities for David Rubenstein and Michael Arougheti to step up and into the big leagues of MLB payroll.

So where do the Orioles go now from last place?

Baltimore Positive

The emergency mid-summer sports huddle with Allen McCallum, Luke Jones and Nestor on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Reter’s Crab House & Grille in Reisterstown meant a frank last-place discussion about David Rubenstein, Mike Elias and the All-Star break and trading deadline with paramount importance to the future of the Baltimore Orioles.

Baltimore Positive

For three decades Allen McCallum has been on our team as a baseball expert and Orioles historian.

And what comes next amidst the chaos for new owner David Rubenstein, who has big decisions coming for the future of Birdland.

Depth of Ravens’ 11 draft picks shows roster with opportunity for youth

Baltimore Positive

No franchise or staff of scouts is more prepared to draft every April than the Baltimore Ravens. Luke Jones and Nestor dissect the eleven position players that Eric DeCosta selected in the NFL Draft over the weekend and the one kicker who will be in the Loop for all that follows life after Justin Tucker in Baltimore.

Dear Steve Bisciotti: Are you Tuckered out on that zero-tolerance policy?

Nestor Aparicio

Methinks we’re kinda getting to the point where we’ll soon hear from “your people” in a two-sentence press release on the team website about the future of the kicking department of the Baltimore Ravens. Probably after lunch on Friday, the way all the cowards in your industry drop the news they want to bury. Not-so-bold prediction: Justin Tucker has kicked his last kick for your franchise.

Willard gets March moment as the Baltimore Queen kiss takes Terps to Sweet 16

Baltimore Positive

It wasn’t the most consistent performance against a pesky Colorado State Rams squad but the Maryland Terps managed to hit big shots down the stretch in Seattle on Sunday night and Baltimore’s Derik Queen wanted the ball and got it to send the program to its first Sweet 16 since 2016.

Is this emerging Ravens defense good enough to win a Super Bowl?

Baltimore Positive

The formerly porous Ravens secondary looked healed against Pittsburgh and Houston during Christmas week and that makes this new-and-improved defense worthy of going into Buffalo and Kansas City in January and winning.
