Diner Question: Who are the most underrated players in Orioles history?
One of the most enjoyable things I wrote over the last year was my 26-man all-time Orioles team. I broke it down by position players and pitchers and was struck by how many worthy candidates there were. With the season on an indefinite delay because of the pandemic, we’re going to open...

Diner Question: Would you consider attending Orioles games in 2020?
No baseball has been played this season, and no one knows when, or if, it will be played. If it’s played, no one knows what form it will take. For the Orioles, it’s especially painful. This was the second season of the team’s rebuild, and minor league prospects would be getting essential...

Diner Question: Do you like Brandon Hyde’s managerial style?
With their next victory, the Orioles will equal their win total of 2018. At the beginning of the season, general manager Mike Elias said the goal of the team was to increase its talent pool, and that he wasn’t focused on the won/loss record. Manager Brandon Hyde is trying to win every...

Diner Question: Should the Orioles replace ‘Thank God I’m a Country Boy?’
It’s been quiet around Dubroff’s Diner lately, so let’s bring some music into the discussion. For many years, the Orioles have played John Denver’s “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” after “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during seventh-inning stretch.

Diner Question: Will you attend more Orioles games in 2019?
If you’re going to today’s home opener, I hope you’ll stop at Dubroff’s Diner first. The first week of Orioles baseball has been an interesting and surprising one, and they return to Camden Yards with a record of 4-2, much better than many had anticipated. Fans have noted the team’s energy, defense...
