Welp folks, that’s a wrap on the 2025 baseball season for the O’s. ⚾️
A lot of hope at the beginning of the season, then things kept getting worse and worse with injuries and losses, then finally brightening a little after the All Star break, but not quite what it could be and not enough time to dig out of the hole.
I still enjoyed the second half of the season as there were some fun games to watch played.
Hoping that 2026 holds solid, consistent performance, and that management puts together the right mix to place us in playoff contention next year.
And to keep the momentum going in post season, rooting for the Jays to win the Fall Classic!
UPDATE: Here’s a neat 2025 regular season recap from the folks at MLB:

Follow-up to my follow-up post about using iA Writer cross-platform between iOS and Windows:
-
The Dropbox file sync issue stemming from iOS Files app design complications was making that file solution untenable.
-
So ended up installing iCloud for Windows and shifting iA Writer files into that, and file sync has been working seamlessly thus far.
-
A little disappointed that 3rd-party tools wouldn’t do the job (i.e., here in the age of the ubiquitous ‘cloud’ we still deal with OS issues), but I gotta move on to get done what needs to get done.
-
I did opt to only turn on the iCloud files module (and not photos, calendar, passwords, etc.) to keep things limited. Interestingly, while Dropbox had added feature of choosing which file folders sync vs. not, iCloud only provided option to sync all files (which suboptimal imo).
Anywho, fwiw to you, kind reader, out there on the interwebs …🙂.
Gotta say, liked the O’s 4th of July hat this year ⚾️
To succeed, planning alone is insufficient. One must improvise as well.
