So, about that Orioles ownership lawsuit
The assumption was always that June would be when the Orioles top prospects arrive to change everything. This is not that, but is an inflection point all the same.
Birdland.
At some point, everything got shrugged off that way – all the turmoil, all the Warehouse turnover, all the weird decisions, all the concerts. And over the course of six seasons covering the team, there was plenty of it.
And in the court filing that was rightfully first reported by the Baltimore Banner as explosive from Louis Angelos alleging myriad complaints about the rise to and execution of power of his brother and John Angelos where the Orioles’ leadership is concerned put it all out into the open.
This isn’t one of those pieces that claims to have known it all, nor is it going to be a summary dismissal of all of it. Who wants to hear that? All I do know is that Thursday was a day that colored in all of the blank space around the Orioles’ on-field and off-field plans in a way that is going to change how even a baseball operations department that has largely executed its vision pushes forward and is perceived.
