How many baseball sites do you check in the morning? For me, it’s five:
- the final score from yesterday’s game on ESPN (1)
- Fangraphs (2) and Baseball Reference (3) to check the O’s post-season probabilities
- AL East standings on ESPN (4) to figure out why the probabilities changed like they did
- the Orioles home page on ESPN (5) to see when they play next
Is it a big effort? No. But I’d rather get all that information in one place without having to click around so much.
That’s why I created Your Morning Orioles, an email that shows up in my inbox at 5:30 am every morning. It retrieves all the information that I normally look up, and puts it in an easy to digest email along with the rest of my morning diet.

Honestly, it’s probably not for everyone
I’m happy to send the morning Orioles email to others that are interested. But I would rather not send emails to people who aren’t going to read them. It’s probably not for you if any of these apply to you:
- You have never heard of FanGraphs
- You aren’t interested in statistics
- You don’t have an email address
But other than that, if you’d like to get a recap of “what happened, what does it mean, and what’s next” straight in your inbox every morning, you can sign up here.
And if you ever want to be removed from the daily email, there’s a one-click Unsubscribe link.
