Dear Catie Griggs: When Orioles fans ask why I don’t have an Orioles media credential, I’m sending them to you for answers

I’m pulling for you to fix the Orioles on-and-off the field, even if you continue the bizarrely petty Angelos family tradition of willfully, purposely and strategically mistreating me and restricting a legitimate professional working local media member from asking you serious questions in the David Rubenstein “Next Chapter” era.
“We all want the same things here.”

Luke Jones and Nestor react to Mike Elias comments and more Orioles losing after Hyde firing

The Baltimore Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday morning via a press release with quotes from David Rubenstein and Mike Elias. The owner and general manager then hid for three days while every player on the roster got asked about it on Preakness day. We think that’s lousy leadership. Luke Jones and Nestor react to Elias’ tardy comments on Tuesday in Milwaukee and more last-place Orioles losing after the Hyde firing. A shameful week and season in Birdland.
