Pete Alonso said Coby Mayo taking this hit by pitch "like a man" is what sparked the Orioles' ninth-inning rally: "I think the huge momentum was Coby wearing one for the boys right there. He took it like a man, and that kind of fired us up in the dugout."

Kyle Bradish's three-run inning should have been a clean inning. The Orioles' infield assumes Zack Gelof is going to bunt, and Gunnar Henderson starts running to third. Instead, Gelof swings away, and his grounder right where Henderson was standing goes for an RBI single.

There is plenty of nuance in the exit velocity "debate." There are better, more holistic metrics to look at to understand the success of an offense or a hitter, and results are ultimately what matter. But there's no arguing these are two great swings that had unlucky outcomes.

Heston Kjerstad bomb. Kjerstad, back with the Orioles and healthy, absolutely clobbers this ball off Keegan Akin. At least 410 feet dead center, and quite the sound off the bat.

Scott Boras was asked if Juan Soto’s $765M contract could cause other young stars — like Gunnar Henderson — to wait for free agency rather than sign early extensions. “I think that adage is something that yours truly has been talking about for a long time with select players.”

Colton Cowser in 2024 was the Orioles’ second-best player. He hit 24 homers, was an elite defender, and finished second on the team in fWAR. If his back-to-back walk-off homers mean he can once again be that player, that would be massive for Baltimore.
