They’re fun, those random moments when you feel like you’re smarter than everybody than else. So if you, personally, are the person who tipped off the Baltimore Orioles that they should claim Bryan Baker when the Blue Jays waived him last November, well, hats off. That was clever.
(Especially because, with a better bullpen, Toronto might have done slightly better in the playoffs than [checks notes] zero wins. But I digress. . .)
When the Orioles picked Baker up off waivers last November, he seemed like the longest of long shots to stick on this roster.
