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.

There will be no place for Brandon Hyde to hide if this continues. Sure, he didn’t buy the groceries (or the pitching) but the manager is usually the first one to go when a promising baseball team disappoints like the in-progress collapse of the 2025 Baltimore Orioles. Or, maybe it’s just a hitting coach or two? But in-season firings certainly feel immigrant after another Birds’ sweep in Minnesota where the bats remained painfully silent.

Dear David Rubenstein: I really believed things were going to be different with “The Next Chapter” of Orioles history – but I was wrong so far
I’m still “under review” and denied media credentials. You’re still under review by every fan of the Baltimore Orioles and every citizen who chipped in $600 million toward your $1.725 billion asset. Be a better person and a better baseball owner than Peter Angelos. Be the noise for truth, accountability and decency. Make “The Next Chapter” a truly inclusive one, David.
