Leading Off

After the All Star break, it’s clear that this team is who we thought they were. Bummer.

This Week on the Socials

This segment has been cancelled this week, due to financial considerations. No other reasons… simply a financial decision. No really, don’t look behind the curtain, don’t think critically. Financial. Reasons.

Around the Bases

First Base: Hug Watch

Who stays? Who goes? And how does this trade deadline feel different than ghosts of deadlines past?

Second Base: Draft Business

The Orioles got some things right, some things wrong, and some things we’ll never know. Probably, right?

Third Base: The Core

Much like a personal trainer, we’re curious as to whether our core is strong enough. Also – is it the Fab Five, or the Jackson Five?

Home Plate: It’s all a simulation

We have a few simulation games that may prepare you to be an Oriole fan.

Fantasy Boss

You know what? This is getting silly. Let’s just call it like some of the minor leagues do, and crown a first half champion, and go forward for some meaningful games in September. Jake is crowned the early winner, and play begins anew at 0-0.

This week’s category is OPS.

Jake went with Jordan Westburg, Scott went with Jackson Holliday.

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.
