Another rough night at the plate for Adley.

[Ravens2006]

So while the Orioles gave up 14 hits, what was the "expected hit total" for Cleveland?

Another rough night at the plate for Adley.

He is a catcher breaking into the majors. Im sure he and the Os want him focused more on his defensive duties. The offense will come though its unlikely  to be what many dreamed.

I’m selling on this team contending any time soon. It ain’t happening.

Some of you might not be old enough but when Cal Ripken started the season in 1982 as a full time rookie, he was dreadful at the plate, entering the first part of May not even hitting .150. Eventually he figured it out and the rest was history. If the kid has as much talent as they say he does, he'll come around.

Black uniforms last night, orange tonight. Guess they’re going with something different this year?

Wearing their orange jerseys all weekend as part of a gun violence awareness initiative. Saw a bunch of teams change their pictures on Twitter to orange.

I love the orange uniforms, make it permanent. Or dominant. I like the whites too. I’d like to see more of a balance between the 3.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Orange tops my fav too. But keep to once a week. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I still mourn the players not showing their stir up socks. To me, it looks like they're wearing dress slacks.

Thankfully we don’t have a governor who would punish the Orioles for speaking out against gun violence.

Wearing an orange jersey and changing your Twitter picture will make a huge difference.

It's not intended to be what what directly makes a difference.  70% of the public is aligned on the changes they'd like to see. But those prospective changes aren't even voted on... because... reasons.   So you have things like this to try and put pressure on those with the ability to actually make changes.

Not to get too political, but more restrictions on law abiding gun owners isn't the solution to the problem. When you're looking at these mass shooters, generally there's a high percentage dealing with some underlying mental health issue.

I don't work in Baltimore City, but as a law enforcement officer in the state of Maryland... I and those I work with deal with opioid OD/death way more often than we deal with any sort of gun violence yet drug dealers are often given a slap on the hand by the judicial system time and time again.

There are lots of things that need to be done (and that certainly includes mental health).  There is a lot the majority of public agrees on, and plenty which the public is divided on. 

Doing nothing is not an answer. 
Needs to be action on where this is general public agreement... and then the remainder is what elections are for.
