This Week on the Socials
Around the Bases
First Base: Post Season Notes
The Orioles are no longer playing baseball, but baseball has continued. The 2025 playoffs have had some very compelling stories – none of which is more entertaining than another season in which the Damn Yankees go home to watch someone else hoist a trophy.
Second Base: Offseason Notes
We have been in offseason mode for quite some time. The Orioles’ season was over long before they were mathematically eliminated, so we have been talking about this in dribs and drabs for some time. But we review the beginning of the end, and what the Orioles need to do in the offseason to avoid a similar fate in 2026.
Third Base: Man or Muppet?
We ruminate on the person who might be selected as the next Orioles manager. We don’t want a muppet of a man, nor a very manly muppet. But… do any of us know who we want?
Home Plate: What would you do with a billion dollars?
Scott baited Jake with a musical number, and things devolved quickly from there.
Fantasy Boss
Jake wins Fantasy Boss 2025, and everyone hates 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.
