It absolutely sucks that my son has a peanut allergy. No question about it. However, there is one small side benefit after he complete trick or treat: I made out like a bandit last night. Reese and Butterfinger and Snickers everywhere, and I * have to * take them. For safety.

The Orioles went into last offseason with the stated need of a lefty-mashing batter to balance out a lefty-heavy lineup. While it’s true the Orioles do have a lefty-heavy lineup, they weren’t actually that bad against lefty pitchers in 2024.
