Leading Off

After a quick trip to the 10-day IL, Bird’s Eye View is back. And what a week it has been! Don’t look now, but the Orioles have been an entirely watchable team. We’re not in Buckle Up Birds territory here, but there are some surprises in store for us in 2022.

The Baseball Widows

It’s our favorite episode of the year: the annual Mother’s Day visit from the Baseball Widows.

The podcast goes into its throw-back pricing, and looks back to 1992, with an assist from our wives and our resident third grader.

Truth or Truth?

Sometimes the truth hurts. Sometimes watching the Orioles hurts. And sometimes the truth will set us free.

But this time, we dig down deep to reveal our own truths on various topics from around Birdland.

Fantasy Boss

A Bird’s Eye View staple returns, as we dust off the Fantasy Boss segment.

This week, we start off with the obvious: dongs. The question is actually which Orioles hitter will have the highest Chains Above Replacement value (CAR).

Scott went with Cedric Mullins

Jake took Ryan Mountcastle

…

Who will own it?

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.
