The Cincinnati Reds recently faced the Seattle Mariners in a three-game series from April 15-17, 2025, at T-Mobile Park, with the Mariners taking the series 2-1. In the first game, the Reds fell 9-3, struggling against Seattle's pitching despite Elly De La Cruz's speed on the basepaths. The Reds bounced back in game two, winning 3-1, with Hunter Greene's strong start and Matt McLain's timely hitting. The finale saw a dramatic Mariners comeback, as Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena hit back-to-back homers in the ninth to tie it, followed by Arozarena's clutch double in the 10th for a 6-4 win. De La Cruz went 4-for-12 with a stolen base but struck out in key moments, underscoring his -0.10 clutch rating in 2025. Posts on X highlighted Seattle's late-game heroics, with fans praising Arozarena's impact. Looking ahead, the Reds visit the Baltimore Orioles for a three-game series at Oriole Park at Camden Yards from April 18-20, 2025. The Orioles, with a 7-10 record, boast a potent offense led by Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman but face pitching challenges with injuries to Grayson Rodriguez and Kyle Bradish. The Reds, at 9-10, rely on De La Cruz, McLain, and Greene to compete in the hitter-friendly park. Baltimore's bullpen, weakened by injuries, could be a target for Cincinnati's aggressive base-running. Historical data shows the Orioles leading the head-to-head 10-5 since 2011, with a 4.7 runs-per-game average. Terry Francona's strategic adjustments will be key for the Reds to exploit Baltimore's pitching woes and steal a series win, setting a tone for their NL Central campaign.

There is an old adage: when life throws you lemons, you make lemonade. For Marcus Moore, he decided to make pretzels! And I am glad he did! Marcus, the founder of Moore Crunch, is now 30 years old and has Autism. He has faced more struggles than most of us and has thumbed his nose at them all. Marcus got his start working in grocery stores in dead-end positions. Then he got a job at Lidl, who saw the potential in him and gave him more responsibility, which ultimately turned into Lidl's loss. And the rest is history! Marcus and his parents had a conversation about the future and discovered Marcus' "puzzle piece" was food--pretzels in particular. And with that, Moore Crunch was born. What started out as small baggies of pretzels sold in the Crofton Farmer's Market has evolved into a career for Marcus. Moore Crunch is now available all across the state, including at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Graul's Markets, and many other locations! Today, hundreds of bags are shipped daily, and instead of that one flavor, there are five! You can pick them up locally at Fishpaws, Annebeth's, Bread & Butter Kitchen, and Graul's Markets, or you can order some online. A perfect match for any football game! But before you do that. Have a listen to our conversation with an amazing man whose persistence is only outshined by his smile!
It's taken a few weeks after the heartbreaking end of the 2024 baseball campaign for the Orioles' postseason strategy under the guidance of general manager Mike Elias' to be revealed. And in a few words, and with all due respect to former president Ronald Reagan, the plan appears to be “Move Back That Wall.” Specifically, the most visible thing Elias has said or done since the Birds were swept out by the Kansas City Royals in the wild card round is to declare that the team will bring in the left field wall at Oriole Park. That doesn't exactly have the same impact as Reagan's dare to Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev to end communism by destroying the Berlin Wall, but the Orioles' brass hope this is a statement of intent to remain a force. The club pushed the fences back and raised their height in 2022 under the theory that doing so would make Camden Yards more appealing to potential pitching free agent signees. The theory behind the move was that, in its previous configuration, Oriole Park was a bandbox, especially for right-handed hitters, and pushing the fences out in left field would raise the park's attractiveness to pitchers. For all the talk of the warehouse which adorns the right field area, some of the longest homers in the 32-year history of Camden Yards have been hit to left. Indeed, former Texas outfielder Juan Gonzalez has the longest regular season home run ever at Oriole Park, a 450-foot blast off Hall of Famer Mike Mussina and two moon shots, one 455 feet and another 473 feet, the following year in the 1993 Home Run Derby. In the present day, the move of the fences has largely been panned. Hitters have mostly complained about long drives that traveled to left, seemingly destined for home run territory, only to end up in a left fielder's glove. According to the website, Baseball Savant, Oriole first baseman Ryan Mountcastle alone has 11 drives over the last three years that would have been home runs at the previous left field distance and height, Switch hitter Anthony Santander has lost seven Oriole Park home runs during that span. The club is said to be considering re-signing Santander or pursuing Teoscar Hernandez, a right handed slugger, who just won a World Series ring with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Besides the money, both players and other potential right handed hitters are likely to take into consideration that the new left field fence will be anywhere from 9-20 feet closer to home plate and will be 5-6 feet shorter. Or at least that's what Elias is hoping. Meanwhile, the Orioles haven't picked up any noteworthy free agent pitchers during the last three years, though they did trade for starter Corbin Burnes, getting the former National League Cy Young Award winner from Milwaukee before the 2024 season. Burnes was the only Baltimore player to be named to the All-Major League team and is a free agent. The new fence length might weigh on his mind, but, and this is just a guess, a fistful of dollars might assuage his concerns. And that's how I see it for this week.

Baltimore is home to several world-class sports facilities. Oriole Park at Camden Yards was recently voted the best Major League Ballpark in the USA Today Readers' Choice travel award contest, and M&T Bank stadium is full for many of their home game. Pimlico Racetrack, which has certainly seen better days, is an iconic location, home to the second leg of the Triple Crown. Now, the state is prepared to spend more than a billion dollars improving them. Are these improvements a good deal for fans and taxpayers? What models do other cities provide for what Baltimore might do with our stadiums? We'll talk about it today with Jon Morgan, an author who covered sports for many years at the Baltimore Sun, and Dennis Coates, a UMBC Professor of Economics and editor of The Journal of Sports Economics.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

While Patti spent the weekend in her happy place, it was locker clean-out day all over the league. The Rays have purged their clubhouse of all things Wander, and the Dodgers have literally painted Julio Urias right out of their history. Shohei cleaned out his own locker but may not be completely absent the rest of the season. Pottymouth checks in with some neglected boyfriend and finds that Thairo Estrada is having his second 20+ stolen base season and leads the Giants in steals, hits, and doubles. Miguel Rojas has found a dance partner in Kiké at the same time his bat is kicking back in. Patti's former OAK bf Matt Olson just set the Hammers' single season record for home runs and leads the league in RBI. Nicky Lopez, initially her KC bf, may have to reschedule his early November wedding now that he too is a Hammer and they hope to have other plans at that time of year. Oriole Park at Camden Yards was the place to be this past weekend with the Os/Rays showdown. Adam Jones retired as an Oriole before the Friday game (check out his kids' qHAR!), where Heston Kjerstad hit a home run for his first major league hit. Queen songs were sung loudly at Saturday's game where we were “having a good time” watching Grayson Rodriguez pitch 8 shut out innings, Gunnar shocking Disney Prince Tyler Glasnow, and Tristan Gray learning you don't get capitalized at OPACY until your first hit. Roberto Clemente Day was observed on Friday with a day of service for the Pirates, and presentations of each team's nominee for the Clemente award. We crosstrain with the new Professional Women's Hockey League who host their inaugural draft this week, with the backing of LAD minority owner Billie Jean King and LAD Chair Mark Walter. The Mets honored Maybelle Blair with their first Amazin' Mets Foundation Legacy Award. Japan (undefeated since 2012) and Taiwan easily advanced through Group B of the Women's Baseball World Cup.We say “This game goes to 11,” “Complicated and mathy” and “Kabbalistic cosmic number play.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
