Here’s what some fans told us about the Ravens cutting Tucker (answers have been edited for clarity and grammar):

I think they know more than they are letting on. Otherwise, why draft a kicker? I am sure performance from last year plays a major part. — Kranski

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? — Robin Ficker

Whether he’s innocent or guilty, the situation may have weighed on his performance last year. And would likely have been even worse this year. Between his performance and the distraction surrounding his situation, the team may have figured there was more downside than upside. They probably made the right decision. — John Devine

The idea that it’s “performance only” is a little silly. Come on. The Ravens have excellent security and investigation people. They wouldn’t, in May, hand the keys over to a rookie who has yet to make a single kick in camp without having uncovered something(s) we may never be privy to. Something tipped the scales to make this call now after sticking with him week after week of costly misses. — Doc

We also asked readers if they think the Orioles will have a winning record in May. Baltimore dropped to 1-5 in May games with Thursday’s loss to the Twins.

Here are the results from that online poll:

No — 68% (161 votes)

Yes — 32% (77 votes)

Here’s what some fans told us about the team’s chance of posting a winning record this month (answers have been edited for clarity and grammar):

One can always hope. — Mike

The Orioles will be over .500 for May, and will reach .500 for the season by Memorial Day. They will then need to play winning baseball the rest of the way in order to compete for the playoffs. The goal, as always, should be to win every series. — Laurence Berbert

The season is just a continuation of 2024 second half. The team is not competitive and lacks any semblance of leadership. — Mark Dubberstein

Years ago, in order to be considered a major league ball player, you had to prove you could hit both right- and left-handed pitching. Too much platooning these days. — Donald Huffman

I can’t remember a previous Orioles team set back so much by injuries. They are costing victories and likely will cause the team to miss the playoffs. General manager [Mike Elias] and manager [Brandon Hyde] need to take a hard look at injury patterns and possible remedies. Management blew it by not planning better for Bradish, Rodriguez, Wells, etc. having delayed recoveries. — Ken Duncan
