This Week on the Twitters

Here’s what’s going on in the world of Orioles Baseball, in 280 characters, or fewer:

Around the Bases

With so much going on in the world of Orioles Baseball, it’s time for us to scrape at the bottom of the barrel, and go Around the Bases.

First Base: Dwight Smith Jr. is good at playing with a bad team. Virtually, too.

Second Base: MiLB contraction is inching closer.

Third Base: MLB plans to reopen may move from a bubble in AZ to bubbles in AZ, FL, and TX.

Home Plate: Orioles paying (some) employees, through May.

Burning Questions

Where do your loyalties truly lie?

We discuss the possibility of taking a rooting interest in a team from the KBO or CPBL, as those leagues are set to open soon. As usual, Jake’s interest is rooted in the absurd. Scott, on the other hand, would miss familiar laundry. There may be too many Weekend at Bernie’s references.

What is baseball worth to you?

This week, the economy divided by zero. What would the Orioles or MLB have to pay you $40 for?
