Leading Off

Hi. We hope this episode finds you well – in good health and good spirits.

It’s mid-April, and we already feel socially distant from our baseball team. That’s not… completely unusual, but the circumstances that have led to it are.

Around the Bases

With so much going on in the world of Orioles Baseball, it’s time for us to scrape at the bottom of the barrel, and go Around the Bases.

First Base: The Orioles have the lowest payroll in MLB

Second Base: Keeping the kids busy during quarantine

Third Base: Baseball Conspiracy Theories

Home Plate: Envisioning the Committee to Re-Open Baseball

Blowing the Save

Most podcasts try to end on a high note – the perfect coda to a quality program. That’s just not our style. Each week, we’ll end on a weak note, blowing the save with an item that didn’t quite fit into the episode, or something they simply need to get off their chests. It’s our version of taking the ball and pulling a Kevin Gregg.
