They did not screw it up! The Orioles picked the guy that the entire baseball world expected them to. Adley Rutschman, the switch-hitting catcher out of Oregon State, now becomes the crown jewel of an O’s farm system on the rise. Will he actually be better than Buster Posey? How soon can he make it to the big leagues? How often will fans misspell his name? All questions that will be answered in good time. Now is a time of celebration. So far, Mike Elias’s first draft in charge of […]

How much attention are you paying to this year’s Orioles? You can be honest. This is a safe place. There are a lot of options out there. Game of Thrones is wrapping up its run on TV. There is yet another Avengers movie in theaters. And don’t pretend that you aren’t at least a little excited to see the live-action Aladdin with Will Smith as the Genie.

The dumpster fire that was the 2018 season of the Baltimore Orioles is over, thankfully. It is a time for change in Charm City. Buck Showalter and Dan Duquette are out of a job. Peter Angelos seems to have officially handed the reigns of the club over to his sons. But most importantly, today we are adding a new member to the Eutaw Street Report family. Do you find your morning commute dull? Does your work day drag on without something interesting to listen to? Are the local sports radio […]
