The Best Minor League Team In Baseball History Scored 26 Runs Last Night

While most of you are locked in on Caitlin Clark and the NCAA Men's tournament, I'm over here in losers-ville scouring the Triple-A baseball scoreboard. 

Someone has to do it, and I'm fine being the one. I'll take the bullet, because baseball is infinitely better than basketball. There, I said it. 

Anyway, you're lucky I am keeping my eyes peeled. Otherwise, you wouldn't know about the Norfolk Tides – the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles that's currently beating the piss out of every single team they face. 

Look out, folks – the O's are not only already here, but they appear to have some serious firepower on the way for the foreseeable future. 

The Norfolk Tides may be the greatest minor league team ever assembled 

My God. I don't like throwing the d-word out there often, but the Baltimore Orioles are on the verge of becoming a dynasty. Sorry, but it's true. 

It all feels very Dodger-ish, except the Orioles have even more firepower in the farm system than the fellas out west. 

Wild. 

And by the way, it won't be long before you see these youngins join the big league club in Baltimore. The date to circle is April 13, which is when teams gain that extra year of control on these prospects and can start calling them up with no penalty. 

That means Jackson Holliday, who crushed spring training and is currently averaging 19 hits a game in Triple-A, will almost assuredly be called up. 

No idea what Baltimore's plan with Heston Kjerstad will be next week, but I assume going 5 for 7 with 10 RBI means he's probably ready to take on the big leagues. Just a guess. 

Same with Kyle Stowers, who only managed seven ribeye steaks last night. Loser. 

Anyway, look out, AL East. Look out, MLB. The Baltimore Orioles won 100 games last year, and now they have the greatest show on turf brewing in the minors. 

The O's are here to stay.
